ed. War clouds hung low and
thick. Gas masks were suffocating.
Bombs whizzed and moaned thru
the air. A red hot piece of fire
hit our soldier in the hip, lifting
him into the air and then allowing
him to fall with a thud upon the
muddy battlefield In his misery
he pressed his numbed hands to
the wound which seemed to be
drawing him into a ball of red hot
coals. His belt was shot in two
and two cartridges were mashed
flat. Two fingers of his hand were
thrust into a bloody hole in his side
just above the hip bone, revealing
too clearly the cause of his pain.
Ahead of him as the war clouds
drifted past he saw a machine gun
emplacement. This then would be
his refuge. He pulled and drag*
ged himself along, despite the agon-
izing drops of sweat that drench-
ed him to the skin. At last he
rolled into the hole where other
comrades had gathered in similar
agony. Here they were given first
aid and then carried upon stretch-
ers to the field hospital.
At the field hospital they lay in
misery upon their cots awaiting
their turn for treatment, but even
this was a glorious relief from the
battlefield. Now at least they could
close weary eyes and sleep. There
would be no more marching for a
few days, no more shell holes in
the cold wet earth where one crawl-
ed at night for a few moments of
exhausted slumber. No more dead
comrades staring at you with sight-
less eyes which still mirrored the
tragedies they had experienced.
There would be food here. No
more hunger.
Suddenly some angels appeared
with hot steaming coffee in tin cups
and cookies. They had no wings,

we like better than to pass along
the highway through Parker Coun-

in the county are the most attract-
ive we’ve ever seen anywhere. So
attractive are they that motorists
from all parts of the union simply
have to stop as they drive past and
buy some of the delicious Parker
County products.

their humble little home and placed
brick* under it for legs and cooked
ju*t a* excellent spaghetti upon it
