It was a weekly in our parental homes and always has been in our own home, so we look forward to its arrival. I suppose you wonder if we have plenty of water up here. Well, I guos we received our share, at least, for it rained nearly every day. We have an abundance of artesian nnd well water, also have plenty of surface water. We have lakes all around us, as the ground is very level, and of course does not drain like land that is rolling.

Our spring has been very backward, farmers are just finishing corn planting. Most of them are putting in as large all acreage as usual, yet there are acres of ground lying idle, licing too wet to plow. Wages for farm hands are still higher than last year, the nverage wage being $80 to $110 or month, and with tractor experience they get a month. Wheat anil oats nre looking fine and alfalfa will be ready to cut in another week. Respectfully, MRS.

J. RALES. This Week 25 Years Ago. C. W.

1 have not had any work to do, and have been trying to locate Germans through a glass. We took up a cow and have milk to use in connection with our chow. We also get some things out of the gardens. French have all gone and left everything behind. June 15 Just after chow this morning a shell hit the barn end of our building and two pieces of the shell hit our cow.

Gee, it hurts us as had as though it was a man. Left at 11 p. m. for rear, being relieved by the French, the first relief they have given us since we came here. June 16 Remained in woods under shelter of our six-inch guns, resting.

Heard that Gordon and Rust were gassed. We took a much needed bath from a spring, and made a raid on the cooties. Believe me, Ting has them. June 17 Quiet in woods, but learn the boys are still driving the Germans. A Y.

The flint batallion is carrying on the fighting and gaining. Went hunting for cooties and found nix. Left at 9 p. m. in support of front line-.

Couldn't find any holes to crawl in, it being so dark, so lay down in timber and slept well under shell fire the rest of the night. June 12 Remained in hiding during the day, but moved in the evening, and were shelled just as we were leaving, wounding a number of our men. Mourin was hit in the back with a nearly spent bullet from an airplane fight. We went to Chappelon and set up our dressing station, about a mile from the front. We went back to the front and slept in timber.

June 13 The Germans put over a raking barrage between three and four a. m. I and Mourin were lying in a hole two feet deep, when a "73" lit within about six feet of my side, and caved the ground in on us. Coleman was on watch, and he said when he heard the shell coming, he knew it was headed his way, and dived into a trench head first. I-entz came back from the hospital and was sent out to take my place, and I was ordered into the station.

yenrs of age, and is survived by his wife and two small children. The Col. hy Tribune has the following to say about the murder: 'Montayne had been a tennnt on the WilHon farm, three mill's south of Sol-den, and Wilson, either having sold the place or wishing to get possession himself, had been trying to eject Mon tayne. There also seems to have been some difference over notes and money alleged to have been due Wilson. There were no witnesses to the killing or to the action if the men immediately preceding the tragisly.

Wilson at. one time made a statement that -s, Montayne attacked him with a club, we hear. In all, four shots were fired, one passing through the head from temple to temple, one entering the back and ranging upward through the body. The two other shots caused minor wounds. A neighbor, hearing the shots and seeing Montaync's DERMANENT artistic results can be secured with DEVOE VELOUR FINISH.

Two or three years ago you would have listened to more varying opinions tires than you could shake a stick at. Mileages, construction, treads and whatnot. It's different now. Tire users are working towards a unanimous feeling. You express it one way the man down the street another.

But sifted down it amounts to this: That the only way to settle your tire problem is to get a tire of knovn value and stick to it. We recommend and sell U. S. Tires because their value is known. There's no guess about it.

It was the U. S. quality policy which led to the perfection of the straight side automobile tire, the pneumatic truck tire two of the greatest additions to tire value that have ever been made. As representatives of the oldest and largest rubber concern in the world, we are in a position to tell you something about tire values. Come in some day and talk to us.
