Union Service at

Everybody enjoyed the ser-
vice on Sunday so well last year,
with a Chautauqua man leading,
that we expect to have the same
arrangement this year. We are
in communication with some of
the men now and are reasonably
certain that one can be secured.
So next Sunday vou are invited
to these services at eleven in the
morning and at nine o'clock in
the evening.

Paper First Used In Asia.
Paper as we know that article today,
was brought from Asia to Europe by
the Arabians. In China paper had
been manufactured from an ancient pe-
riod, from silk. When Samarcand was
conquered by the Arabians they em-
ployed cotton In the place of silk Id
paper making.
Things For Which
C. 0. Laney Stands
I helped to pass and favor the
retention of the "prohibition, anti
vice and si.milar laws, passed at
the last session of the Legisla-
ture, I believe that prohibition
and full suffrage for women
should be written into the Con
stitution. I am opposed to the
candidacy ot Jas. E. Ferguson
and it is my opinion that he is
morally unfit and legally dis
qualified from ever holding the
office of governor again.
Mr. Reilly, my opponent, who
does not even claim to ever haye
yoted for prohibition in his life,
now seeks to make it appear that
I have not been loyal to the cause
of submission and prohibition,
but the real friends of prohibition
know that this is merely the ef-
fort of my opponent, who ex-
pects to receive the votes of all
those not reconciled to prohi
bition, to divide with me the sup.
port of the people who favor the
things for which I have always
stood, both as a citizen and a
member of the Legislature.

Any one of the New ELCAR Models is such a
car as any person may be proud to own and drive, no
matter how much additional price he might afford to
pay, and this from each of three considerations—per-
formance, endurance and appearance.
In general balance, in easy driving and easy rid-
ing qualities, ELCAR Four and Six are what a motor
car ought to be. The power is abundantly ample,
the spring suspension is wonderfully efficient, the
steering is the easiest attainable, and the car holds
the road.

Camp Mills. Long Island, N.Y.
July 15, 1918.
Dear Editor:
Will write yon a short letter
about our trip from Camp Bowie
to Camp Mills.
We left Camp Bowie on the
9th and began our hunt for the
Kaiser. After riding all night
we arrived in Muskogee, Oklaho-
ma, and got off the train there
and made a 20 minutes hike and
had our breakfast there. We
were met by the Red Cross and
treated tine. The hike that we
make there we thought that it
was for accommodation but we
discoveied that it was to be made
a habit.
We spent one hour there and
then left on our way. arriving in
Parsons. Kansas about dinner
time. Took supper and made
a hike in Sedalia, Mo. that night,
and were met by the Red Cross
and the people of the town. The
Red Cross gave us ice cream
and cake and the people wanted
us to sing for them so we sang
some of the songs we learned in
Camp Bowie and everybody
enjoyed themselves very much.
Arriving in St. Louis, Mo., the
next morning about 6:00 o'clock
and ware met by the Red Cross
and given coffee and sandwiches,
and then unloaded and made our
hike and went swimming in the
Railroad's Y. M. C. A. We cross-
ed the Mississippi and ate break-
fast in the town of Granite City,
Illinois. Through Illinois we
saw some of the best and pret
tiest country there is to be seen
anywhere. That is the best
grain raising state in the Union
and as far as you couid see in all
directions there Is nothing but
grain fields. After leaving Ok
lahoma we never saw anything
that looked like cotton, as they
don't know what cotton looks
like.
After leaving Granite City we
arrived in Decatur, 111. for din
ner and made a hike and some of
the boys went car riding and
some went to the Y. M. C. A.
and took a oath. We ate supper
while passing through West
Lebanon, Indiana and ran into a
rain that only lasted a few min
utes. Stopped 30 minutes in
L'iFayette, Ind. and arrived in
Peru, lnd. for suppet. Peru
will always be remembered by-
all the boys of our battallion, a*
we met many fine people there
We were there for about two
hours and were treated grand.
We intended making our hike
there but arrived too late to do
so. We woke up the next morn-
ing in Montpelier, Ohio; soon
crossed into Michigan and ate
breakfast near Cone, Michigan
Arrived at Detroit, Mich, at 9:00
a. m. arid were met by the Red
Cross and given cigarettes, can
dy, lemonade and post . cards.
We were then ferried across in
to Canada, arriving in Windsor
Canada about 10:30. Made a hike
there ar.d were treated fine by
the people of the town; were
given post cards and chewing
gum there Left there about 11:30
and ate dinner soon after. Pass
ed through St. Thomas about
5:00 that afternoon and ate sup
ner. Arrived in Niagara Palls,
Canada, that night at 8:30 and
unloaded there and made hike
to the Falls which are only a few
miles from the railroad. After
spending abont45 minutes there
we hiked back and loaded on the
train. Left there and crossed
the International bridge back in-
to the U. 8. and stopped at the
depot in Niagara Falls, New
York., were met by the Red
Cross and given cigarettes and
candy. Could tell the difference
between the people of Canada
and the U. S.
We woke up in Sayre, Peon,
the next morning and made our
hike and ate breakfast there.
The day was spent riding trough
the Alleghaney mountains along
the Susquehanna river. There
is some very fine scenery here.
Also passed through the Penn-
sylvania coal mining districts
that day.. Ate dinner in Jen-
kinsville Junction, Penn., and
crossed into New Jersey about
5:00 p. m. and ate supper. Ar-
rived at Jersey City at 8:80 p. m.
and spent the night in the rail,
road yards. Got np the next
morning at 6.30 and ate break-
fast and were carried to the
docks where we caught a ferry

went into camp.
Everybody seems to be well
pleased with the camp here but
all are anxious to keep going
until we get the Kaiser's "goat, '
and I think that the 36th Division
will give a good account of itself
when we get "Over There."
Have met most of the boys
