Mr. and Mrs. C. L. Page this week received letters from their son, Ray, who has been overseas for some time past, but failed to reach there in time to see any of the action. Ray tells of meeting a few of the boys who at­ tended tiie training school at Kansas City with him. A letter from James Boyle, who is with a fire truck company over in France, states that he is getting a trifle restle§s with the quietness at the place where he was stationed at the time the letter was written and he was hoping for orders that would soon send them closer to the front. He enclosed a splendid picture of the members of tite company with the letter. L. I.

Being an officer, the Woodstock young man was given command of his company when they entered tile terrific fire and, accord­ ing to his letter, he lost but three men, while a few were wounded, in­ cluding himself. These letters will forever put an end to the stories to the effect that most of the Woodstock boys of the old Co. G., I. N. G., were either killed or wounded ip battle. We were informed last evening that Mr. and Mrs. William Althoff of Johnsburg had received a letter from their son, telling of the death of his comrade, Edward Tony an. It will be remembered that Althoff, Schumacher and Tonyan left for Camp Grant at the same time. First they were sta­ tioned at Camp Grant, then all three were transferred to Camp Logan, Houston, Texas, and later left on the same transport for overseas service. The three young men, singular as it may seem, remained together thruout and in the particular battle in which Mr. Tonyan lost his life the three were lined up together, Tonyan, after receiving his mortal wounds, falling at the feet of his companion, Schu- ma#r.

In the case of grain, the situation is somewhat different. An immense wheat acreage and an accumulation of grain in the southern hemisphere^ which will automatically become avail­ able, are likely to be reflected in the future scale of prices. " However, there is no meat surplus in sight anywhere, not even during the next half ^de&ade. Only in the case of hogs Is a bare sufficiency ioly, The bare shelves of European lard* ers must at least be replenished and this task will naturally devolve on the. United States. The mission of the international live stock exposition at this crisis is to stimulate production of beef, pork and mutton on the most economical basis, to instruct breeders and feeders in recent development to inspire am­ bition to excel and demonstrate that live stock raising is profitable, other­ wise it could not prosper. Europe after the war Witt need American stock cattle. It must come to this market for cows for breeding purposes and for seed stock of all the speeies and breeds. There never has been a more op­ portune moment for renewed endeavor in the sphere of animal husbandry and the international live stock exposi­ tion, which will this year be held from Nov. 30 to Dec. 7, is the chief exponent of the industry. An amusing thing occurred at Bel- videre in connection with the first celebration of the signing of the arm­ istice and the close of the war. At the public meeing held to arrange for the celebration, it was decided to have a "noise committee." This committee laid in a supply of 600 pounds of dyna­ mite, 100 pounds of it being used on the day of the celebration. Fifty pounds were set off in the last blast, which was severe enough to break hundreds of window panes over a wide radius of territory. Claims totaling $799.66 were filed against the com­ mittee and th« amowa| is brin* ****"$ by subscription.
