SPORE SsATd at tb pastoffk Bucklin, Kauai, ivt transmiailon through fa mails at aacoad ekaa matter. SUBSCRIPTION, 1169 PES YZAR Consumer Is too Helpless A Caldwell, Kansas, reader of Capper's Weekly relates an unsuccessful effort he has made to help a few consumers of his home town to get out of the clutches of the packers. He writes: "Every year I raise a nice lot of butcher hogs. Last year a few of my friends in town were complaining about the high cost of bacon and hams. I.

went to the local paper and put in an ad stating I had some line fat butcher hogs for sale, and would give each customer a recipe for curing bacon and hams, and guarantee them to be better than any of the packers. I also agreed to deliver the hogs in town, but I never received an answer from my ad, which ran two weeks in; the nailer. I Hnallv shipped thorn to Kansas City and shipped the cm- people celebrating. The boys did not do much ot that at the front that day for they were all so near warn out they did not care whether Germany quit or not. And Ethel says they are having it more easy now since the fall work is almost over.

You may tell Violet that I have none of those pictures now, but those that B. B. sent were sure good and it wont make me a bit mad if they send more of them. Well there is nothing more to write so guess I will close for the present hoping to hear from you soon and tell the girls lo write. Your loving son, Corp.

Friday is a special Chapel Day. Everybody come.

The Liberal Champions met their Waterloo last Thursday evening when Bucklin defeated them by a large score. The game was intensely interesting from start to finish, and altho Hucklin held the large end of the score during the whole evening, Liberal managed to make a few goals and tried to hold her record, but the B. II S. Champions proved too much for the Western Wonders, so Bucklin High has another game for our 0. K.

list. The members of the Liberal Basket Ball team and their coach visited Chapel Friday morning and made speeches. They seemed to be very much pleased with the kind of game Bucklin plays, and expressed much (too much) confidence for the game that will be played at Liberal the 6th of March with B. II. S.

Members of the Beaver City, Oklahoma, basket ball team passed thru Bucklin last week on their tour of Southwestern -They seemed very to play a game with the undefeated quintet of B. S. but our team hated to end them home with the bit ter memories of defeat, so Thursday morning they journeyed on their way home- rejoicing, we hope.

I Left Fraize July 8th pud arrived at Arche the same day only it was farther back of the lines. We left that joint for Raon Letale and arrived July 15th and left there the 22nd and went into the Argonne Forest.

We got there the night of the 25th and the 26th I was on guard when the Yanks sent over the big barrage before Ihey started the Argonne drive and it was impossible to sit still for the ground shook so and it was one continuous thunder for fourteen hours. II started at 10 o'clock in the evening and lasted till the next noon before the bovs went over and it was an awful place so thick they could not see far and there was so much wire over the ground that the heavy gun? did not destroy but it did noi take so awful long at Well we went to St.Mccial from the woods and landed in Bassavanl the 1th or 5th and left there and went down through Toul. towards Metz and got stuck in a small piece of timber over north of Toul for three or four days and landed in Miliary the tenth'. Was there until and then went to Sabastapool. Was there from the 29th to the 3rd of November.

We then went back to the Argonne for-rcst and were stationed at a German Hospital that they did not get to use a great leal," near Appermont, on the main road to Sedan.

Resolved: To Start a Bank Account Nothing gives such real satisfaction such a feeling of independence and self respect as having money which you have earned Liberty Bonds and Thrift Stamps have taught you that. Saving is a habit and like any other habit it will grow. You have now begun it make it a lasting one.

All you need to make a start is a first deposit and a determination to become a systematic saver. The Bucklin State Bank DRS. EDGERTON BANDY Office in Bolinger Bldg. Phone 158 DR1 SOL M. EDGERTON -CLAUDIUS E.
