FROM   SOMEWHERE   IN   FRANCE
V
Clarence    Derr   Writes    Interesting
Letter  to Alumni  of Saline
High School
Sanvewhe e in France,
May 21, 1918.
To my friends of th,e Alu,mnli:
May I send a wjord. to those clear
friends I have left behind,? Only a
word 'It will, he, but just to say and
flat you know that I havie not forgotten you, though many, many miles of
land and water lie between, us.
•My heart tonight has left me and
gone back to th,e dear old High
School where we were to have our
annual Alumni ba,nqu.at this year of
1918. I c,an hard'y express myself
in words, but my heart and soul have
dirifted tp-ek, back to the place where
I long to be.
We have many joyous times singing and! playing about th.e caimp, bu'.
now and again we think oE those dear
friends at home. So in.uch far our
lonesome hours of thought.
We spe-nt two long weeks on the
deep blue, turning, twisting, dodging,
and playing about w-ith. our Berlin
h'ienlds out on .those briny waves. It
seemed like a. great game of tag or
hide anid seek, for it was from here
to -there, audi there tea here during
those two weeks. When we 'reached
th.e shores of France, I hesitated for
a .momient, wondering whether we
were in Holland or Franicie, far large
windmills could, be s;en on the nearby islands, and men and. women and
children, wearing wooden shoes
making such a clatter on the cobbje
stones that e,ne could scarcely hear.
As we looked out over the city from
the transport, far, far beyond the
city, somewhere was the great battle
line, in No Man's Land. What a thrill
seemed to run through everyone'^
heart to think that crimes moat Inhuman were being e,omim(itt'ed there
on just such men. women and children as we saw walking about at the
side of our ship. The next day we
left the ship and marched through
the city to our; camp,, which .was
about three kilometers, due north,
Mvhere wq made qui- home for one
month. The life was something different than we had. been used to, so
it was quite hard o.t flist. but iy,i\v do
not mind' such Minor things that happened in that leantp. I think I have
been doing most everything si-nee I
have been in the Army. The American Army, lijaek of the lines. ,is
building up Fran",^, !ior everywhere
jwe have been we have built roads,
hospitals, dams, and dug imany mliles
of drainage, etc. From ene town Ave
went on to another taking in the
sights Qf France, such as large g;een
estates, old cas'les crumbling away
with age* and some ruined from shell-
fire; .also, deep underground cellars,
cliff dwellers, etc., until we reached
our present camp, where we are now
constructing immense factories which
will be put to war use. hut after the
great blood-shed is over and our
enemy has realized that th,~,y are
carrying on a useless battle, then,
no doubt, they will be turned over to
France. We have undertaken a bjig
thing, but we are going through to
the end, and that means Victory.
It's a great liife if you. don't weaken.    "Comprendre."
I wish you all kinds of luck and
hoping that the new president enjoys
the honor of the position as much as
I did: I remain,
Your true  "jriend,
CLARENCE DERR,
Pres. cf Alumni Assoclat'on.
The first of last week Hammond &
Miller- had the privilege of handling
one o;f the best loads of feeding cattle
ever shipped, into this part of th.e
county. They were purchased' in
Chicago and "bji-ought ithe highest
price of any load' of feeders that
week. Wilbur Cornish: bc,ught this
choice load of cattle firom the firm.
He is very proud of his purchase and
invites the farmers of the surrounding country to inspect the cattle at
his Sarni.

Will .Perform   Some  .Real  Patriotic
Services This Tear
l"
Local   leaders   in   the  cjhautauqua :
movement are delighted with the way
things are shapnig themselves. '
The ticket tommtitee, advertising [
committee and all other committees.
have entered their work with a vim j
that augers well for over-dewing |
tents  and greatly inspired nitetings.
The fact that President Woodrow '
Wilson has placed ^the endorsement: "_
Cf the government upon the ehautau- ! ---
qua as an integral part of the na- "::"
tional defense, has bsen taken hold ; *
of by the chautauqua builders—and ' .;>
they have decided to make the "bj;g j «••
top" th,is year resound with patriotic i ]"*
iervor  and true patriotic, seivice.       j.-.
Realizing that oratory alone will " •"-
not win the war, they are sending us j *|
(speakers who, add to the glamour of | •:>
their eloquence a hard-headed mes- j -
aage of the service each of us can ; *
and must perform toward winning j
the war. i
The President's words, which have
so inspire'd," chautauqua efforts tills
year, were:
"The work that the chautauqua is
doing has not lost importance because of war, but rather has gained
new opportunities for service.
"Let me express the hope that you
will let no discouragemient weaken
your- activities, and that the people
•will not fail in th;e support of a patriotic Institution that may be said
to he an integral part of the national
defense."
In "line wiith that high pronouncement. o.ur local chautauqua will, per-
Torm some real patriotic services. It
will give those who attend first-hand
'lews from the bleeding battle fronts
i f Belgium and France. For Samuel
Cranston Benson, the man who has
c ome "Back from Hell." will be there
with the story df the unbelievable
things; lived while on, the Western
Front doih'g duty in the ambulance
sei vicej.1 He will, picture in no uncertain terms the horrors of the Huns
and will show the things that Ameiv
ica's giowing millions are facing on
the biattle front.
Andirew H. Harnly, in a. great lecture, "The Trenches in America,"
has a wonderful, message for Amer-
ii«ans. He comes direct Prom Washington where, in conference with the
heads of government departments, he
learned many things about th.e war
that Americans need to kn.iw.
Dean R. G. McCutchan. assisted h /
Miss Freda Hiatt, pianist and planol-
-ogist, will devote a whole afternoon
to leading community singing—that
inspiring welder of public, opinion
and creator of unified patriotism.
. And even the Junior Chautauqua
renders its war service, with badges
of distinction for the children wh*\
have bought Thrift Stamps—and
with stories, games and pageants
that day stress on the service that
•even the child .can do in connection
with the Junior Red Cross, Conservation and other war movements.

The Cultivator You Hear About
THERE are a lot of cultivators on the market  Some
are good—others not so good.    But there is one
that nearly every farmer has heard about—"
Internationa! Ho. 4 Pivot Axle Cultivator
Every man that has ever used an International No. 4 is always ready to say a good word for its clean work and easy operation. Every man that has a boy of !4 or over ought to put him in the field
-with a No. 4.    Chances are he will beat his dad at doing a clean job.
You can dodge in crooked rows and clean out the weeds in a way that
will surprise you. This is because the wheels pivot and the gangs shift with
one slight motion of the foot. Easy?—It" is the simplest cultivator you ever
rode on. You can change tlie cultivating width -without stopping the team.
Just a twist of the wrist
' The only way to satisfy yourself that we are not stretching tha truth and
also to learn about*the many other exclusive features of the No. 4 ia to come
In and take a look at our samples.
The Indiana Ail Wood Spliced Silo
No Steel to Rust Out
During the past five years I have sold more than 300 silos; 94 last year and
66 so far this year. If you are in the market for one, let me have your order.
I furnish an expert free of charge to erect them, and supply the steel curbing
for the foundation.
I am also agent for the B. V. T. Tile Block Silo, if you prefer that kind.
