Zuber, a pleasant, rather theavy-set man, who is now engaged in farniing and poultry raising on a farm along the Iiehman-Outlet road. «= Mr. Zuber is a reserve on mmiseiened officer of the United States Army, hav- jing served 21 years in the service. a #Well, I knew Pershing when he when't a General, but just “Jack” ‘Pershing, first lieutenant in the Philli- pine. eampaign. I had the honor of sheeping in the same pup tent with him one night during a tropical storm in the Islands, It wasn't considered so anuch .of an honor in those days. Pershing was considered a prince among the men of his company, but he was a real taskmaster for the officers under him. How did he 700k in those days? Well, just about the sae as he looks today, younger, of course, but ‘there was the same set of the chin and the same steady eyes. Pershing wasn't in my company. He was in the next vompany, but storms and bad weather, like politics, make strange bed fellows sometimes, and that’s how we hap- pened to spend the night together in the ‘same tent, “I was ten years in the service with Sal Woodhill, the man General Persh- fing oalled the greatest hero of the World War. Maybe Pershing will say . :something about Sam in his story, I'm going to read that story and find out anyway. Sam came from Indiana and enlisted for the Phiilipine campaign at the same time I did. I enlisted in ‘Wilkes-Barre, May 6, 1898. The wo of us were thrown together in the same company sometime later. For iten years we were together. Sam, how- .ever got overseas during the World War, but I was made an instructor .and sergeant at Fort -Omaha during those days. I was too heavy to stand the ‘hiking overseas life though I tried a number of times to get across. Sam was several years younger than I > “Tell you more about my exXper- periences? Well, I'm pretty busy right now. I'll give you a good; story one of these days when we both have a litt.e more time. I'd like to tell you about the Eskimos. I was stationed in Alaska .on garrison duty for a while you know. “Panama, China, the Phillipines, Alaska :and all over the United States. You certainly see the world when you're in ‘the army. And what's more, I don’t ‘know, any life that’s more hea.thy, pleasant or pays better wages over a life time than service in the United States Army.” 3 = REVIVAL MEETINGS ARE BEING WELL ATTENDED ‘Miss Sara C. Palmer, Evangelist, Will | Close Her Engagement Sunday Forest Fire Menace Here; Warning Given Game Protector Miese _ Solicits Co- operation of All in Preventing Dangerous Fires Now that the season for spring burn- ing is at hand, Game Protector Miese solicits the co-operation of all farmers in this “territory, whose lands are ad- jacent to woodlots or forests, and asks that they exercise the greatest of care while burning brush about their prem- ises so as to avoid the possibilities of forest fires. This also applies to fisher- their way to the mountain streams. “|Carelessly thrown cigarettes or cigars and the camp fire are a real menace to the forests during thig time of year. If brush burning is resorted to at all, Protector Miese suggests that it’ ‘be done on days that are not windy and that the fires be placed sufficient dis- tant from the wooded areas to prevent. flames from reaching there. Game Protector Meise also points out to the farmer the value of leaving some brush and briars about the fence rows to provide food and shelter for the game creatures who love to build their homes in such places. Bob-White, quail and other useful birds love to frequent the old fence rows and as these birds are such a valuable aily of the farmer, he in turn should do every- thing possible to keep them about hig farm lands. TEAM UPHOLDING AFFIRMATIVE IS DECLARED WINNER Misericordia Students Present Interest-. ing Debate On Indian Situation = Freshmen and sophomores of College Misericordia, Dallas, presented a timely debate on the India question on Mon- day evening ‘in the auditorium of St. Mary's High Schoo, Wilkes-Barre. The decision was awarded the affirmative team debating “Resolved That India Should Be Granted Complete Inde- pendence.” The winning team had as members Mildred Hope, Marianna Powers dnd Catherine Smith. The negative side which received one vote of three cast by the judges had as members Mary Winterhalter, Anne Reuwer and Rose Ferdinand. The overwhelming point in favor of the affirmative was the vastness of the gulf that lies between the culture and the temperament of the East and the West, the remoteness of India, both in geography and custom, from England. Here the affirmative showed the ab- surdity of England dictating to a co- Jonial possession without making the necessary: allowances for their essen- tial differences. Matters of caste, education, ideals and temperament were discussed at length by both sides. Judges were Attorney James Stack, Attorney William O'Connor and At- torney Frank Williams. ~ Miss Emily Franklin chatman. pers were Miss Mary Fitz- gerald nd Miss Marjorie Higgins® | During the intermission violin selec- Itions were played by Miss Jane Hagan. ey presided as Sunday was a great day at the M. E. church, Dallas, of which Rev. W. E. Webster is pastor, ang wher re Miss Sara C. Palmer, Evangelist, is conduct- ing services. A splendid crowd greeted the evangelist at the morning service and enjoyed her message on ‘‘A, Crown of Righteousness,” in which she spoke specially about tithing, An equally in- terested audience listened with rapt at- tention in the afternoon as she lectured oft the Bible. In the evening the church was packed to its capacity, the“special feature being the presence of ninety- vine men, who sang Sankey’s old and popiilay Bong, “The Ninety and Nine,” ‘followed by a sermon on the story of Zacchaeus. The music is exceptionally good and both organist and choir have been doing fine work throughout the meetings. The boys and girls between the ages of 8 and 15 are in training this week with Miss Palmer and will give a program on Friday night. This promises to be an outstanding feature of ‘the campaign. On Thursday night Dr. and Mrs. Walter C. ‘Schofield were in charge of the music and-a large au- dience, was present. On Friday night when the boys and girls give their pro- gram, the subject will be, “An Ideal “Home” and a prize will be given to ithe biggest family present.

Call Harvey's Lake 3162. 3-27-81-tf Al friendly race followed the appeat- ance of the above classified ad in last week's issue of THE POST. Rev. Paul J. Kolesnikoff who inserted it says that he had six inquiries regarding the tractor. Three persons wanted to buy it over the telephone. One of the pros- pective buyers was Mr. Sayre, of Kunkle, another was Mr. Lewis, of West Pittston. Rev. Kolesnikoff told both of thesé¢ men that the first man to reach his place with the $75 would get the tractor. In spite of the handicap of distance, Mr. Liewis decided to race for it. He arrived just a few moments after Mr. Sayre had paid for the trac- tor. THE DALLAS POST is a bit to blame for Mr. Lewis not getting the tractor, for had he received his issue of the paper on Saturday as is usual, he would have made the trip from West Pittston that afternoon.

Brisener, director of the Founda- tion, stated: “Character building in the young is one of the great problems of the times. The Foundation is convinced that a dog makes a boy a better man and is encouraging every home with a boy to keep a pure-bred dog. A. recent study of a large penal institution revealed the fact that less than one per cent of its inmates had a pet to play with in their formative years.
