EQICITI
LIKE WELL DRILLED ARMY LAUNCH OFFENSIVE
AGAINST PRIMITIVE WILDERNESS—IMPRESS
IVE CEREMONIES FOLLOW CESSATION OF LA
BOR-MANY GOOD THINGS TO EAT
Advancing like a well-trained army of conquest with
the untamed wilderness as the enemy, the citizens of Sew
ard yesterday combined the observance of Memorial Day
with clearing an acre or more of ground for a cemetery.
The scene of the battle was just north of the Jesse
Lee Home, and when the final mopping up was completed
a marked change had been wrought in the landscape.
The bugles sounded the zero hour call at 8 o’clock a. m.
when the first line of shock troops went into action, to be
followed at short intervals by fresh forces, until by noon
the general engagement was well under way. By 5
o’clock the conquering army was ready to cease filing and
return to the city.
Out in the roadway sat the heavy ar-"
tillery in the shape of a Ford combina
tion tractor and donkey, supported by
teams of heavy, sleek horses. From
the Ford son a cable passed through a
sheve wheel attached high up in a
spruce tree and led to where the in
fantrymen were fast mowing down the
enemy in the form of trees and logs,
and cutting them into lengths. The
wonderful little machine dragged the
logs into a pile, standing them on end
and in the process tearing a pathway
through the underbrush.
With axes, crosscut saws, mataxes
and peavys as weapons the infantry
carried on with the mopping up pro
cess.
