WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
IN FRANCE, June 18 (By Mail)
All along that part of the line they're
still talking about the "party at the
front with women to it" which the
boys of tho th steged. 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.
A Good I' innle.
Along toward the end of the
"stunts" they heard mnchine gun fir-

. The American artillerymen some
where in the woods turned'loose with
their evening salvo for the boches,
and with a patriotic song from the
rugimental band, it was a finish that
left everyone fit and cheerful. Then

After that they had a band concert

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. For particulars as well as prices on
Union County lumber for all farm purposes, see
