Silent, yet with force and power It portrays both strong and true One has made that sacrifice Such as only patriots do. There’s a gold star in the window, Made by mother’s quaking hand. She, her all, through him, has given Meeting thus the stern demands. Yet today, throughout the Nation There are those that give no aid; Not a thrift stamp have they purchased For no bond, even yet have paid. There’s a gold star in the window, May that gold star all inspire To support and lend assistance And of such to never tire. May it rouse that latent feeling “To my home I will be true” May I stir to tireless action Everyone to up and do. The first member of Company I to make the supreme sacrifice on the battle field of France has been reported. Jack Palmer, is the young man and he was killed in battle August 4th. He was not with his old company at the time he met his death, but had been transferred some time ago with several other Baker boys to the 127th regiment. Yong Palmer was well known to many of the residents of the county as well as Baker and while it grieves his friends to learn of his death the fact that he died defending the country he loved, lessens the sorrow and makes us all proud of the gallant young men who are so nobly and heroically fighting the big fight over the sea. Mrs. R. L. McIntyre, a sister of young Palmer, and who resides, at Townsend, Mont., received the message several days ago conveying the sad news, and it has just been received in Baker by friends.

Now that the fighting is over it is made doubly hard as we learn of others whose names were delayed in transmission. Three Fallon county boys were recently killed in action and another is in the hospital the result of a severe wound. The three who fell mortally wounded were Elmer E. Often, Pete Paulson and Carl Sonnenberg. The young man in the hospital is Alvin Nelson, a Willard boy, and he was shot in the arm. OFTEN was a young man 23 years of age and was well known around Willard where he worked for two years. He was also employed in Baker for a time driving dray for Emil Veroy. PAULSON was about 24 years of age and had been a resident of this county for five years. The most of this time was spent in the Ollie country. He worked for awhile at Willard and is also known in that part of the county. SONNENBERG was about 30 years of age and had a homestead north of Plevna on which he proved up. He came to this county in 1910 and at one time worked for Wm. O’Loughlin. All the young men are highly spoken of by those who knew them, being men of excellent character. The cause for which the young men fought was a just and glorious one and may this fact lessen the sorrow of the relatives of these gallant soldiers, who died that the world might be free to all mankind. The relatives of the three men lived in Minnesota and the home address following the names in the casualty list was given as that state.
