Tho th figures it put one over on all the other regiments in a social way, and what's more the other regiments have to ad mit it It came about this way. The boys appreciated the doughnuts the Salvation Army sisters had bees making for them when all tho fellowr were in the trenches, and also the work the Y. M. C. A. women were do ing to make war more pleasant. So one company decided to put on a show back in tho woods to entertain the women. Then nnother company wanted to join in, anil another, until pretty soon five companies had brought forth talent, and they called it a "vaudeville." . Back in a certain thick woods they found an open space about as large as a big theatre, and about the same shape. At one end they put up a stage under some trees, and blankets make good enough curtains, when moved back and forth on a wire. .The flowers and branches made fine scen ery, and the ground was as good en orchestra pit as you ever saw when the regimental band took its place in it No Reserved Seats. ' Doughboys - from the front who could.be spared were allowed to come buck to the woods lh8 night before, so the bodies wouldn't sec 'any troop movement, and before the show began they sprang from every bush and tree, and folded their legs under them on Nature's unreserved scat, tho ground. The committee in charge had do- k I tiiilcd one group to "scare up" a pi ano. They got one, no one Knows where, except they it had a German name on it, and it turned out tip:top American music when the rag-time kid from C company snt down, to "syncopnte." . , So everyone was happy and asked no questions, but just wished he could waltz up to one of the "ladies" and sny, "This is our dance, isn't it?" Which would have started a riot sure if anyone had done it, because there wore only seven girls to fifteen hun dred boys. Anyway, there wasn't any ball room. , And just before the program start ed with Hawaiian songs by the stringed quartet, somebody looked up and saw nn American "sausage" bal loon directly overhead. The observer wasn't invited, they say, but he was looking down half the time and to ward Germany the other half, nnd it's a safe bet he didn't miss much of the program. Quite a Program. They had skitsr-and boxijig, and songs, and band music, and, as the star feature brought on "Lady Eve lyn," tho Hula-Hula dancer. Every body thought "Lady Evelyn" really was a lady, with her mincing steps and ballet movements, until some one pulled off the wig and the boys rec ognized the assistant cook in B Com pany. I Somebody said they couldn't stage a doughboy show to which women could come and still have it funny. But they showed skeptical ones, and everybody had to laugh with the fun and be serious with tho "homesicky songs," which were popular and there wasn't a single "unsanitary" feature to the program. As the chaplain said, after they'd called on the "Holy Joe" for a talk, everything passed the censor. No body "cussed' a single "cuss" word, and the colonel said in the bully speech he made at the end of the per formance, he couldn't tell them how proud he was of them because they'd uevu in uie irem-iics u long lime unu ' every doughboy was absolutely clean.

Snodgrass Mr. Grain Farmer: Aro yoa prepared to handle your-grain in bulkT Do not wait until Spring and Summer when you are buried with work and worried with labor shortage, but build your graneries now. You can buy the lumber and roofing paper for a first-class 1000 bushel portable granary for $54.68 and it will last for years. Sacks for the .same amount of grain will cost you ? 125.00 and this would', be a dead loss against this year's crop. A granar of this lize can be moved anywhere and tan be ' filled directly from the hresher, doing away with high priced labor handling and sowing sacks. ' 'i The boys in the trenches need the sacks for sand bags for the protection of heir :.Vcry lives and perhaps your boy is among them. i Spend your mo$ey ii your own valley by buying lumber manufactured at horne. n When yoa bay sacks part of the money goes to India! BUILIKYOIR GRANARIES NOW Be prepared by luildlng them before the farming season opens up. Be sure get good lumber, well seasoned, as low grade lumber will givtsyju trouble in a few seasons. Don't Use green lumber. Save money keep what you spend at home pvevent loss and damage from exposure to weather leave the sacks for our boys in the trenches; help win the war by building gianaries now. Portable granaries of this type are universally used In other sections. One trip with a good, team will haul the ma terial for one granary.
