Battle memoirs of D 238 and Old Pepper in artillery drama
A wartime tale recounts a gun crew plot to exploit a tapping signal, a mistaken order, and a dramatic shelling by D 238 on a German road. The scene follows Captain, Cassell, and Wilson through an inspection, punishment, and eventual relief with Old Pepper’s fury in brigade headquarters. It also paints vivid portraits of Old Scotty and other brigade characters amid humor and danger.

Barberry campaign aims to curb menace in Iowa fields
State and county agents plus federal representatives will rally with high schools Boy Scouts and local agencies to locate the Kaiser billies and attach tags. The common barberry with three pointed thorns threatens spring wheat and acts as host to black stem rust which cost Iowa wheat $5 000 000 in 1916. Every common barberry bush is hoped to be removed from fields and lawns by May.
