German Soldier Exchange 50 Cigar ettes for Whole Steer Throw Dice to Decide Puffs of Cigar for Each Soldier. Berlin Cigars and cigarettes are the most highly valued articles at the front. la an interesting letter. Just received here, a Cerman soldier tells of a trade where he exchanged 50 cigarettes for a whole steer. He t. es: .' ost of our boys at the front are inveterate smokers. They know the value of a good weed. Sometimes a good smoke will make you forget that your stomach Is empty. "For the last two days I have been subsisting on bread and cigars. Our field butcher the goulash gun, as we call it cannot come up to the battle line, and so we must live on what wc carry in our knapsacks. A heavy black cigar will tide you over for a day when there is nothing else to chew. "A few das ago we were all long ing for some fresh meat. There was none for miles around. Suddenly a Bavarian detachment came along, with a whole drove ef cattle. First they refused to let us h.;ve any, but after souie bargaining they traded a fat steer for 50 cigarettes. "Every soldier in our array is sup plied with two cigars every day at present. Besides almost everybody receives tobacco from home. But some of the clga's we receive are terrible. They were so bad wc could not smoke them. So we threw them over to the French, who eagerly gathered them in. They were so delighted that they gave us some cognac in exchange. Thia was before they commenced to smoke the cigars. After tin y had lighted them they got highlj- Indignant and com menced to fire at us like mad. "There were days when we had noth ing to smoke hut dried tea leaves and straw. Then aeain we have tobacco, but nothing to li :ht our pipes with. Wc are not permit' ed to have fire In the trenches, for the smoke would draw the encinj's lire. Matches are very scarce and ov.r electric flashlights five light, but no tire. So one of iuy comrades has overcome this difficulty by using a strong magnifying glass which be found in the pocket of a French officer killed In battle. This works all licht when tbe sun is (billing. "At times ciuirs were so scarce we had to throw dire In order to decide to how many puffs each one of us w as entitled. I was unfortunate enough to get only three puffs." INITIATION FEE IS ONE HOG Knights of Pythias Ledge Now Has New Member and Fine Porker. Albany, Ore. A pl; was the unique Initiation fee which Walter Miller, Jr., j paid to Join the Knights of l'hythlns j lodpe. So, as the result of an offer and an acceptance in a joking spirit, the lodge mv has a good hog which is worth more than the customary initiation fee. Miller h:id expressed a desire to join the lodge rtid van rU'ning nn ap- . plication for membership when he ' acked the amount of the initiation fee. "I've got a lot of good hogs mid will : trade you one cf them for my initia tion fee," he remarked jokingly, and members of the ledge promptly ac cepted the ofcr. lie volunteered later to keep the beg and feed It free of charge until the lodge desired to sell it, and this he is doing.
