The fallow was of English parentage but American bom, Koaaoke, Va., being his home. We were unable to learn his name but heard part of his story of 38 days in the fron t trenches during the Dardanelles in 1916 when English troops and war ships fought for pos- session of that pass. During an engagement, on land the hand fighting was with grenades being thrown from one "trench to the other. A, squad of ten man wore un­ der this corporals, direction and to save his men picked up a grenade from the enemy trench expecting to throw i t hack before it exploded. The result was that i t exploded in his hands and nearly costing him his life. Both handa w^ye so mangled that amputation was*performed above the wrist. He lost the sight of his left eye and every tooth in his head be­ sides bodily injuries. A fter spending ■ several months in th e hospital he was able to 'return t o this country to his wife and two chil­ dren in Roanoke. For his valor m saving the life o f his men he was pre-v seated, a badge of honor-by King George of.England. England- provides a pension- of $11 weekly fo r life to her men that are /totally disabled- This, not being suffi­ cient to'support a wife and family the soldier has been commissioned, by this government to lector^ before organi­ zations and societies m the raising oi Wat funds.’.

He was bound for Cincinnati where h e is to upend a Week telling the people Of that city something about the mode of warfare a t th e present time and What la ex* pected of America to help win the war fo r democracy Against autocracy. LET US HAVE LETTERS PAPER. HILL STARTS AFTER THREE WEEKS CLOSE DOWN The Hagar Straw Board A Taper Company started operations Monday following a close down of three weeks. An embargo was placed on iff and out freight and the mill was forced to suspend operations. .Then came the Garfield order closing'-industries for five days with the heatless Mondays.

STILL BEING KICKED. For four years the “Birth of the Nation,” a spectacular moving picture has been the football -o f politicians and those who seek notoriety. The picture dealt, with the reconstruction of the south a fter the civil war and covers much of the ground laid by one of the popular novels that can be found in any library. The picture was shown in nearly every state in the union before Ohio had an oppor­ tunity of seeing it. Ex-Gov, Willis refused to permit the state board to pass it. The picture figured largely in the past state campaign and Gov, Cox changed the board and the film was released. I t will be noticed that most o f the opposition has come from politicians who are opposing the pic­ ture to capture a certain vote. But the more the picture is cendemffed the greater the crowds who are convinced after seeing it that little ground ex­ ists for criticism* Springfield has ju st had a taste of this opposition. An injunction prohibited showing this pic­ ture on. the Sabbath, yet fifteen or twenty other picture theaters operat­ ed without objection.'
