July 31, 1918: Wilmar, July 29 - Although Lieut. Joe C. Rhodes of this place was in the front line trenches continuously for five months, he escaped without a wound and last week landed at Newport News, Va., where he will be an instructor in a military camp there. Lieutenant Rhodes received his commission as second lieutenant in the coast artillery at Fortress Monroe, Va., and sailed for France on September 11, 1917. Two years ago he was star right-half on the Arkansas College gridiron team at Batesville and was selected on the all-state team at the end of the season. Lieutenant Rhodes is expected to arrive here this week on furlough.
