Boys Enlist Fight
and Quit Together
Not more than a year ago
Charles T Tuel and W H Ram-
sey of Walters were plowing corn
side by side
“It looks to me” said Tuel to
Ramsey “like we’ve got a better
job than farming ahead of U3 for
the next few months Its going
to take a bunch of husky fellows
to handle that fighting in France
Are you on?”
Ramsey was “on” and the two
boys donned khaki suits and left
for overseas Yesterday Tuel
visited the Red Cross canteen
hereon the way to his home in
W<ers
“We went right thru it to-
gether” Tuel said “went over
eame back and landed in Camp
Funston last Saturday Ramsey
went home the same day we
landed but he’s not so far ahead
of me at that-I’ll be there at
eight o’clock to-night if nothing
happens and it dosn’t look as
tho much of anything could hap-
pen over here after what I’ve
been thru over there”
The boys were in the fight for
two months in the Chatepu
Thierry sector Tuel was slightly
wounded September 5 Ramsey
came thru without a scratch

Dr Foster Installs Machine
for Electrical Treatment
Electricity has become a won-
derful factor in the treatment of
all kinds of chronic diseases and
the up-to-date doctors are adopt-
ing it largely in their practice
Dr Foster keeping step with
science has just installed a new
Thompson & Plaster High Fre-
quency machine for the treatment
of various diseases It is not
claimed that all diseases can be
cured by electrical treatment but
a gbeat many of them can be cured
and are being cured ' by the use
of electricity
Dr Foster recently took a post-
graduate coarse in the use of
electricity and was greatly ben-
efited thereby
R E Peterson of Auroro
Neb was in town the first of the

Air Current to Grad Coal
An Interesting method of grading
fine coal by means of On air current
Is In use at an English colliery The
coal Is delivered to the washery by a
bucket elevator and discharged onto
stinking screens The grading appa-
ratus Is fixed Immediately over the
delivery chute of the elevator the
mixed coal allowed to flow over a
hinged weir plate Immediately under
this plate Is an orifice through which
a powerful current of air Is drawn
by means of a centrifugal fan The
size of the opening Is capable of ad-
justment by menns of a sliding plate
The passing stream of coal is brought
nearer to or kept farther from the
section by adjusting the hinged weir
plate so thnt any desired proportion
of small coal can be drawn oft A
deflecting plnte Is fitted Into the re-
ceiver which serves to throw the
larger pieces of coal to the bottom J
the fine dust passing with the alt
through the fan Is finally collected In
cyclone separators

Necessity of Having Force to Guard
Country’s Merchant Ships In the
Clouds Against Sudden Attack
Is Pointed Out
The Dutch paper Telegranf report-
ed that on November 15 airplanes
dropped bombs on the castle at Sival-
men where the ex-crown prince of
Germany Is staying
No suggestion Is made as to the
nationality of the airplanes except by
the parenthetical remark that Swal-
men Is only three miles from the Ger-
man frontier The report does not
mention any casualties nor does it
say how the ex-prlnce bore himself
under fire though It would have been
Interesting to have known since ac-
cording to popular report he has had
no previous experience during the war
of being under fire having left all
that to the German "cannon fodder
which he so recklessly and cynically
sacrificed
The report is vague In the extreme
but whether or not true It suggests
various exciting possibilities In the
future Piracy and smuggling by air-
plune are possibilities not to be over-
looked Of course while all Europe
Is still armed and the German army
resembles a pack of wolves without a
pack leader nothing could be easier
than for some German airmen who
disapprove of the ex-croWn prince’s
conduct In general and are resolved
that no counter-revolution shall ever
make him emperor to paint out the
national marks on their machines fly
high above the clouds Into Holland
dive upon his residence and release
their bombs In any force still retain-
ing Its discipline and the discipline of
active service at that such action
would be wildly Impossible
In times of pence such raids would
be less easy All airdromes and their
airplanes will of course be registered
the movements of aircraft will be even
more strictly under observation than
those of seagoing ships for the simple
reason that their periods of absence
from terra flrma are necessarily much
briefer
Moreover air pirates could never
stop a commercial airplane and call
on It to “stnnd and deliver" They
could never get away with booty and
therefore their operations could only
be destructive and not profitable
But one must not overlook the pos-
sibility that a power as evil disposed
and reckless as Germany was in 1914
might suddenly begin a systematic at-
tack on all the aircraft of a rival The
experiences of the past warn us to be
cautious in the future ’
It will be the task of the royal air
force to guard the air merchantmen
of Britain For years their work may
be as bloodless ns was the Work of
the navy from Navarlno to 1914 but
the navy was needed at Inst and It
would be very rash to declare that the
royal air force will never again send
a foe down in flames
We must remain prepared on land

Ufa of a Collier
A Scottish correspondent of the
Yorkshire Post living In a colliery dis-
trict writes: The sentimental pity ex-
tended on the “poor devil who nevei
sets the light of day” 1 sheer rubbish
and when uttered by union leaden la
merely clap-tmp I meet plenty of our
local minen coming home dally be-
tween two and three In the afternoon
having done their shift from 7 a m
and probably earned $5 In the
meantime If you stopped one of
these men to commiserate with him
on his "dreadful" employment he
would stare at you In amazement and
wonder what on earth you were talk-
ing about At a smoking concert some
months ago one of our miners sang a
song called "Down In the Mine" It
drew a lurid picture of a miner’s life
and one line referred to nls “tolling
for a bare existence" The miners
roared with laughter In which the
singer Joined
