LATE RAINS HELP THE

samples of when! sent him by Ms
father from Klee county. Kansas,
showing the •• licet of the spring
drought on the development of the
grain. The upper half of the wheat
' •■ad* forwarded to Mr. Gregg are per
frctljr brown as the result of an in
sufficiency of moisture during the sea
* »n of growth and contain no grain in
the husks The lower part of them
however, are perfectly green and show
partly matured grain in consequence
of u later rainfall.
In Klee * ountr. according to Mr
Gregg, there will be about 60 per cent
of the usual yield of winter wheat,
nnd possibly about So per cent of the
customary harvest of spring wheat
I localise of the dry weather the out
look for the wheat crop in central
Kansan was very dlscouruging until
the Inst week In May. when that sec
tlon wan visited by copious rains,
whk h changed conditions for the Mu
ter. A heavy rain swept over Kfce
county on Tuesday of last week and
• ontinued at Intervals until Friday,
greatly stimulating the growth of all
l inds of agrt* ultural crops and giving
,-romise of good summer p&Mureagt
for live slock.
Mr. Gregg Sr. is a large wheat

These Imitation trenches, or trench
models, were well guarded from obser
vation by numerous allied planes
which constantly circled above tfiem.
No German nlrplnue could approach
within ©bnervntlou distance. A re
stricted urea was maintained and no
civilian was allowed within three
miles, so we felt sure that we had a
grrat surprise in store for Fritz.
When we took over the front line
we received on awful shock. The
Germans displayed signboard* over
the top of their trench showing the
names that we had called their
frenetics. The tigus read “Fair,”
“Fact." “Fate,” and “Fancy," and so
on. according to the code names on
our map. Then to rub It In, they
hoisted some more Mgns which read.
“Gome on, we are ready, stupid Eng
lish/*
It N still a mystery to me how they
obtained this knowledge. There Imd
been no raids or prisoners taken, ho
It must have been the work of spies
•u our own lines.
Three *»r four day* before the big
push we tried to shatter Fritz's nerves
by feint attacks, and partially suc
ceeded ns tlie oillcial reports of July
1 show.
Although tve were constantly bom
barding their lines day and night, still
we f<Mil«*d the German* several times.
This sras accomplished by throwing
nn Intense barrage into Ids lines—
then Using smoke shells we would put
a curtain of white smoke across No
Man's 1 41 ml. completely obstructing
hi* view of our trenches, and
would raise our curtain of tire
n* If in nu actual attack. All
down our trenches the men would
-limit aud cheer, and Fritz would turn
loose with innehlne-guti. rifle, and
«hriipncl Ore. thinking we were com
ing over.
After three or four of these dummy
attacks his nerves must have been
near the breaking point.
On June 24, 1910. «t 0:40 In the
morning our gun* opened up. nud hell
w»* let The din was terrific, a
constaut boom Ihmiui boom In your ear.
At night the sky was a r«-d glare. •
Our rdmeiit hud lasted about j
two diours wl»en Fritz started reply
lug. Although we were sending over
ten shells to hi* one. our casualties I
were heavy. There was n won slant i
stream of stretchers coming out of the
communication trenches and burial
panic* were u common sight.
In the dugotit* the noise of the gun*
almost hurt. You had the same sensa
tion as when riding on the subway you
enter the tula* under the river going
to ltrooklyn—-n sort of pr**s*ure on tlie
ear drums, und the grouud constantly
trembling.
The roads behind the trenches were
very dangerous because Hoche shrnp
net was constantly bursting over them.
We avoided these dnngcrou* by
crossing through o|»cn Helds.
The destruction In the German line*
was awful and I really felt a**try for
them lieeause I realized liow they must
he clicking it.
Front our front-line trench, every
now and ugain. we could hear sltsrp
whistle blast* In the German trenches.
These blast* were the signal* for
stretcher bearers, and meant the
wounding or killiiig of some German In
the service of his fatherland.
Atwell and 1 had n tough time of it,
patrolling the different trenches at
night, but after uwhlle got used to It.
My old outfit, the machine gun com
pany, was stationed In huge elephant
dugout* about four hundred yards be
hind the front-line trench —they were
in reserve. Occasionally 1 would stop
in their dugotit and have a confab with .
my former mates. Although we tried i
to he jolly, still, there was a lurking I
feeling of Impending disaster. Kuel)

At brigade headquarters 1 happened
to overhear a conversation between our
CL O. C. (general officer commanding)
and the divisional commander. From
this conversation I learned that we
were to bombard the German lines for

our "Htrafelng,” Atwell und I were sit
ting In the front-line trench smoking
fags and making out our reports of the
previous night’s tour of the trenches,
which we had to turn In to headquar
ters the following tiny, when an order
whs pushed flown the trench that old
Pepper requested tvveuty volunteer* to
go over on a trench raid that uiglit to
try and get a few German prisoner* foi
information pur|M»KoH. I immediately
volunteered for this Job. and shook
nanus wuu At wen, ana went to ine
rear to give my name to the officers In
charge of the raiding party.
I was accepted, worse luck.
At 9:45 that night wo reported to the
brigade headquarters dugout to receive
instructions from Old Pepfier.
After reaching this dugou* wo lined
up In n semicircle around liim, und lie
addressed us us follows:
“All I want you hoys to do 1* to go
over to the German line* tonight, sur
prise tlio:*. secure ft couple ~f prison
• r«. and return Immediately. Our ar
tillery has honilmrded that section of
the line for two day* and personally I
believe that that part of the Gerninp
trench Is unoccupied, so Just get a cou
ple of prisoners and return us quickly
as possible."
The sergeant on my right. In an un
dertone. whispered to me:
“Say. Yank, how are we going to get
« couple of prisoners If the old fool
thitikx ‘personally that that part of the
trench I* unoccupied,*—sound* kind of
fishy. d«*esn't ft mate?"
I had a funny «ink!ng sensation In
tny stomach, and my till hat felt as If
It weighed al»out a ton and my enthusi
asm was melting away. Old l'epper
must have heard the sergeant apeak
because he turned In hi* direction and
in a thundering voice asked:
“What did you say?”
Tin* *ergeanl with a scarlet loo* on
his face and hi* knee* trembling,
smartly saluted and answered:
“Nothing, sir/*
Old Pepper said:
“Well, don't say It so loudly the next
time.”
Then Old Pepper continued:
“In this section of the German
tranche* there are two or three ma
chine gun* which our artillery. In the
last two or three days, tins been un
jihle to tape. These gun* command the
sector where two of our communica
tion trenches Join the front line, nud
iis the brigade Is to go over the top t«»-
ntorrow morning 1 want to capture two
or three men from these guns' crews,
and from them I may be able to obtain
valuable information us to the exact
locution of the guns, and our artillery
will therefore be aide to demolish them
before the attack, and thus prevent
our losing a lot of men while using
these communication trenches to bring
up re-enforcements.”
These were the Instructions he gave
us:
“Take off your Identification disk*,
strip your uniform* of all numerals.
Insignia, etc., leave your patters with
your captuin*. because I don’t want the
Bodies to know* what regiments are
against them as this would be valuable
Information to them In our nttnrk to
morrow and 1 don't want any ‘of you
to lx* taken alive. Whnt I want Is two
prisoner* and If I get them 1 have u
way which will make them divulge
nil necessary Information us to their
guns. You have your choice of two
weapon* —you may carry your *j»er
sunders’ or your knuckle knives, and
each man will arm himself with four
Mills bombs, thine to be used only In
case of emergency/*
A persuader is Tomjnv’s nickname
for a club carried by the bomber*. It
1* about two feet long, thin at one end
and very thick at the other. The thick
end la studded with sharp steel spikes,
while through the center of the dub
there I* a nine-inch leud liar, to give
It weight and balance. When you get
a prisoner nil you have to do Is Just
stick this club up In front of him, nud
believe me, the prisoner's patriotism
for “Deutschland ueber Alien” fade*
away and he very willingly obeys the
order* of his captor. If, however, the
prisoner gets high-toned and refuses to
follow you, simply "persuade" him by
first removing his tin hat, and then—
well, «he use of the lead weight In the
persuader Is demonstrated, and Tom
my looks for another prisoner.
The knuckle knife Is u dagger affair,
the blade of which Is about eight
Inches long with a heavy steel guard
over the grip. This guard Is *tudded
with steel projections. At night in a
trench, which Is only about three to
four feet wide, It makes a very handy
weapon. One punch In the face gen
erally shatters a man's Jaw ami you
ran get him with the knife as he goes
down.
Then we had what we called, our
“come-nlonga.” Three are strands of
barbed wire about three feet long,
made Into a noose at one end; at the
other end. the barbs are cut off and
.Tommy slips his wrtat through a. loop
1 to get m g 0.,,! grip on the wire. If the
prisoner wants to nrgue the point, why
Just place the* large loop around hi*
neck and n«» matter if Tommy wishes
to return p, hi* trenches at the walk,
trot, or gallop, Fritz is perfectly agree
able to maintain Tommy'* rate of
*l»eed.
WV were ordered to black our faces
and hands. For this reason; At night,
the English and Germans use what
they call star shells, a sort of rocket
affair. They are fired from a large
pint4*l about twenty inches long, which
Is held over the sandbag parapet of the
trench, and discharged Into the air.
These -star shells attain a height of
about sixty feet, und u range of from
fifty to seventy-five yard*. When they
lilt the grouud they explode, throwing
out a strong ealciuui light which lights
up the ground in a circle of a rnditi* of
between ten to fifteen yard*. They
also have a parachute star shell which,
after reaching u height of about sixty
fc*«*t. explod,*, a fraruchute unfolds
and slowly floats to the ground. light
ing up a large circle in No Man's Land.
The official name of the star shell l*
a “Very-light/* Very-light* are n*e»\
to prevent night surprise attacks on
tlie trenche-. If a star shell fulls In
front of you. or between you and the
German line*, you are safe from detec
tion, a* the enemy cannot see you
through ttu bright curtain of light.
But if it fall- be hind you and, as Tom
my say*, “you get In the star shell
zone," then the fun begins; you have
to lie flat on your stomach and remain
absolutely motionless until the light of
the shell dies out. This takes any
where from forty to seventy seconds.
If you haven’t time to full to the
ground you must remain absolutely
still 1q whatever position you were in
when tlie light exploded; It Is advis
able not to hre*the, ns Fritz has an
eye like an eagle when he thinks you
nre knocking at his door. When a star
shell I* burning In Tommy's rear he
can bold hi- breath for a week.
You blacken your face and hands so
that the light from the star shells will
n«»t reflect on your pale face*. In a
trench raid there Is quite sufficient
reason for your face to be pale. If you
don’t believe me. try It Just once.
Then another reason for blackening
your face and hand* Is that, after you
have entered the German trench at
night, “white face" means Germans,
“black face'' English. Coming around
n traverse you see a white face In
front of you. With a prayer and wish- ,
lug Fritz “tne best o’ luck/’ you Intro
duce hi in to your "persuader" or
knuckle knife.
A little Inter we arrived at the com
munication trench named Whisky
street, which led to the fire trench at
the (stint w»- were to go over the top
and out in front.
In our rear were four stretcher bear- '
era and a corporal of the R. A. M. C.
carrying a (touch containing medicine*
and ftr*t-Mid appliance*. Kind of a
grim reminder to us that our exi»edl
flon was not going to be exactly a pic
nic. The order of things was reversed.
In civilian life the doctors generally
come first, with the undertakers tag
ging In the tear and then the insur
ance uian. but in our rase, the under
taker* w«*re lending, with the doctors
trailing behind, minus the insurance
adjuster.
The presence of the It. A. M. C. men
did not seem to disturb the raider*, be
cause many a Joke made In an under
tone, was pass**! along the winding
column, as to who would be first to
take a ride on one of the stretchers.
Till* wn* generally followed bv a wish
that. If you were to be the one, the
wound would be a "cushy Blighty
one."
The stretcher bearers, no doubt,
hoping that. If they did have to carry
anyone to the rear, he would he small
and light. Perhaps they looked at me
when wishing,, because I could feel an
urn* mi for! able. Inning sensation no
tween my shoulder blades. They got
tlieir w ish oil right.
Going up this trench, about every
sixty yard* or so'vye would pass a lone
ly sentry, who in a whisper would
wish us "the best o’ luck, mates." We
would blind at him under our breaths;
Hint Jonah phrase to us sounded very
ominous.
Without any casualties the minstrel
troop arrived at Suicide ditch, the
front-liue trench. Previously, a wiring
party of the Itovnl Engineers had cut
a lane through our twrhed wire to en
able us to get out Into No Man's Land.
Crawling through this lane, our
party of twenty took up an extended
order formation about one yard apart.
We had a ta(» code arranged for our
movements while In No Man's Land,
because for various reasons It Is not
1 safe to carry on a heated conversation
1 a few yards In front of Fritz’ lines.
'Hie officer was on the right of the
line, while I was on the extreme left.
Two taps from the right would be
passed down the line uutll I received
them, then I would send back one tap.
i The officer, in receiving this one tap.
i would know that his order had gone 1
down the whole line, hud been under
stood. and that the party was ready ‘
to obey the two-tap signal. Two taps
meant that we were to crawl forward
slowly—mul believe me. very slowly—
for five yards, and then halt to awult
further Instructions. Throe tops menut,
when you arrived within striking dl»- t
tnnee of the Gerttiun trench, rush It

then back to your own lines with the ,

“I have gotten yon Into n position from
which It Is Impossible for me to extrl- 1

After getting Tommy Into a mess on
the western front he is generally told
that he i* “on his own/* This means.

HOW MRS. BOYD
AVOIDED AN
OPERATION
Canton, Ohio. —”1 suffered from n
female trouble which caused me much
suffering, and two
doctors decided
that 1 would have
to go through an
operation before i
could get well.
“ My mother, who
had been helped by
Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Com
pound, advised tre
to try it before sub
mitting to an opera
tion. It relieved me
from my troubles
so I can do my house work without any
difficulty. I advise any woman who is
affiicted with female troubles to give
Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com
pound a trial and it will do as much for
them.**— Mr?. Marie Boyd, 1421 sth
St.. N. E., Canton, Ohio.
Sometimes there are serious condi
tions where a hospital operation is the
only alternative, but on the other hand
so many women have been cured by this
famous root and herb remedy, Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, after
doctors have said that an operation was
necessary every woman who wants
to avoid an operation should give it a
fair trial before submitting to such a
trying ordeal.
If complications exist, write to Lydia
E. Pinkham Medicine Co.. Lynn, Mass.,
for advice. The result of many years
experience is at your service.
Food Regulations
To all Hotels. Clubs. Restaurants,
Boarding Houses and other Pub
lic Eating Places:
In ordinary times the person who
eats meat more than once a day risks
his health.
In these time, when half of Europe
is on the verge of starvation: when
upwards of five million men. women
and children have yielded their lives
to hunger, and when the vitality of
almost twenty million more have been
weakened to an extent that makes
many of them practically useless as
wage earners, present or future, the
American who ents more meat than
necessary is not a patriot.
At this season of the yeir when
fresh vegetables and fruits are cczniuf:
into the markets, when ev#»ry they
are getting cheaper, there should be no
excuse for anybody in this country to
eat large quantities of meat. Diet
should be varied. The hot season de
mands the consumption of less meat.
Everybody should eat more vegeta
ble* Everybody should use more
milk. Salads should be eaten.
Meatless da vs and meals were abol
ished some time ago. The necessity
for saving meat has come aguin. One
of the best ways of saving meats is to
offer more vegetables in greater quae
tity and at the very lowest possible
prices.
In most hotels and in many restaur
ants there is practically no profit iu
meats. Poultry has now become very
scarce. It must be conserved.
We must have the hearty co-opera
tion of every hotel and restaurant in
the state in this matter and that
quickly. We must keep full supplies
of food going to our soldiers and to
the allies. We are staking every
thing on this war and we must win 1L
One of our greatest weapons is FOOD.
Sugar.
Interpretation of the ruling issued
by the sugar division of Food Ad
ministration in regard to the serving
of sugar means, according to J. N.
Bundick. chairman, that two tea
spoonsful or two lumps of sugar to
each cup of tea. iced tea or coffee and
two spoonsful for services of foods
which need sweetening, such as pud
dings and pies and so forth, cannot
have additional sugar served with
them.
Wheat Substitutes.
Bakers may use shorts, middlings
and bran in the manufacturing of
bakery products for sale to hotels,
iclubs, restaurants or other establish
ments who are in Class I. They are
restricted only «l& to the use of wheat
dour.
The warring world and its future
: safety and peace depends upon how
surely and swiftly you answer the
call of conservation —for by your an
swer are armies fed. and by them is
! victory won.
Sincerely.
