The paper, dated October 2, contains a splendid writeup on -the concert given by the club in that city. The names of the members are published in connection with the picture and writeup. They are also in receipt of a collection of cotton seeds which he gathered on his tour. FORMER TURTLE LAXE BOY WRITES ON FRONT The following is a letter reteived from Private Dudly Lawrence, for- merly of the town of Turtle Lake. Mr. Lawrence having lived here since childhood is well known and highly :steemed by his many friends who, we feel, will greatly appreciate hear- ing from him. The letter is dated in France, October 3, and says in part: “Received your letter yesterday and sure was glad to get it. You don’t know how much a letter ineans to a fellow over here. “We are up to the lines and have been there ever since last spring, with the exceptions of-a few days now and then. Had our first experience in Alsace, way over near the Swiss border and have been all along the line since then. Took part in the push from the Marne and found we had been only - playing at war at other places till weqgot there. “Of course we don’t get right on the firing- line but our trucks haul supplies right up there and we are rarely out of srange of the big guns, and we seem to be a special target for bombs and air raids. They bombed us with a persistence that was worthy of a much better cause, to say the least. “We are always near a rail head and they are special targets for bombs. I'll never forget the irregular hum of those Hun motors if I live; to be a _thousand years old. One thing about this place where we are now that I like is tnat we haven’t been bombed yet, although we have had two or three grs attacks from shells. Maybe I h~d better knock on wood though. for they bombed a hospital just a little way up from here last night. Hospitals seem to be especially in their line, too, and the first night .we ever lhad a raid they killed five men in a hospital right close to us. “Saw the prettiest air battle last night just after supper time that I have seen since I came over here. Two German plans were circling around with apparently not an Amer- ican plane to be seen, when all at once they seemed to come from every where and before the boches knew it they were between them and the Rhine. One turned and came our way and passed right over our heads only a couple of hundred feet high. Machine gun bullets were flying in all directions and the best of it was they were using tracer bullets which causes them to look like a streak of fire and sets fire to everything it hits. Fritz finally turned just above us but he didn’t have a chance. The American planes got above them and one came down just a few rods from us and the other about a mile from us. “This country sure is shot up some, although not as bad as some I have seen. Thete isn’t a whole roof in the town where we are stationed and most of the houses are only heaps of rocks. Got my shelter tent pitched where one stood and all there is left is five big rocks, they were the corners of it. Nothing near-as bad as’ the country around Chateau Thier® where the American artillery pounded things to pieces. There the towns are nothing but heaps of dust and the fields look as if they had been plowed where the shells had struck. X ““See lots of men over here that ENSIGN SIMONS ENROLLS IN THE NAVAL ACADEMY After waiting three weeks in Washington, D. C., for his orders, Ensign Edwin Simons, son of Judge and Mrs. Hiram A. Simons of this city, has eurollgd in the naval acad- emy at Annapolis. He states in a letter to his parents that he has settled down to sixteen weeks of hard study and likes the work. Edwin was a member of the Bemidji naval militia who left this city over a year ago. THEY WON'T HAVE T0 HANG THEIR HEADS LIKE DOGS London, Oct, 2. Posted at all the kennels of the army is the story of 2 French war dogs: It was during the German offen- sive, and the dogs had been sent out for a message. Their keeper stayed in the rear of the retreating French army till the<last possible moment, waiting for the dogs to return with the message. When they returned there was no way to escape except by swimming the Marne. b The man could not swim, but the dogs could. He chained them to- gether, and clung to the chain, and so they got him safely across under hefvy fire. When those dogs become proud fathers, they will have their answer ready for the pups who ask them, “What did you do in the Great War, Daddy?” \ NOTICE.
