Mr.. Editor, one more week goni
and l find myself preparing few
items for the News
We are still enjoying fine weather
We nave had two or three pretty COO
northers, some good big frosts bu
still it is nice and pleasant.
Well, "Old Joe." had another
night of great pleasure last night,
u. A" of Fit Worth. came over,
and that means something to us both
We always rehearss our boyhood days,
and the lives Of our old associates
We remarked that if you we're here
with us that our pleasure would be
most complete. 1t was near 9 a. m.
when we retired. These meetings
are always pleasant events that we
love to look back upon.
Mrs. A. l.. Bracken's health is no
better. She Is able to be up very lit
tie now.
Mr.. and Mrs. T. S. Bracken, of
Arlington, we're here visiting the fam
lily of Lone Star" Always glad to
see Tom come. He and his wife are
company that one never tires of.
j. A. Lewis and wife came over
from the little village Of Fl. Worth
to brighten their lonesome lives lit
tie, taking data Of city life, When
Jim comes it is like a flash of sun
shine across our path. With the next
issue of the News Jim will become a
reader of it.
Just received the News. We are
brought face to face with the fact that
while we are enjoying the pleasures Of
life, death is ever near. l had receiv
ed the sad information of Maj. Hills
death before the paper came, and was
to some extent prepared to see it in
the News. While l never had very
close acquaintance with Maj. Hill,
always neld him in high esteem. l
left Jasper soon after Maj Hill came
to the valley. Then met him in his
office about two and half years ago.
l can hardly realize his death. Just
last week the News gave an account of
a very joyous celebration. Another
good man gone.
1t would be idle gossip to comment
on our future prospects, locally or ma
tionally, as see we are in the middle
of fix, and anyone that would as
sumo or undertake to tell this great
nation the right thing to do, would be
talking through their bonnet. 1t
seems that about the best thing would
be to adopt the policy of the old man
and his son that went hunting. The
old man said: walk lightly son, l
think ] smell bear
Thanksgiving l started out forag
ing. / went to the home of Will A.
Rogers. There I found big gobbler
baked to beautiful brown, with all
the trimmings to make anyone thank
full that they had the opportunity of
dining in such pleasant home. At
ter noon visited G. W. Henson and
family and spent very enjoyable af-
ternoon. When returned home was
thankful for the pleasures of the day
and for the good dinner Mrs Rogers
had prepared. / am rather foolish
about good dinners. Lone Star.

Christian Spirit in Germany.


No feature of the war has been more
grievous to Christians everywhere
than the division which it has created
between the religious life of Germany
and that of England. In this connec-
ton it is encouraging to receive
copy of the following letter from one
of the best known directors Of foreign
missions in Berlin, to a worker IN
England:
81 ask to be allowed to join your
work by yearly contribution, which
for this year you will find enclosed.
The deeper the gulf is which now sep
arates England and Germany, the less
we German Christians will and may
forget Gods blessings-bestowed on
us by the work of English Christians.
God grant that soon the day may
come when we, purified by the Lords
holy judgment, may again join hands
like brothers to do his work accord
ing to His will"

Sub Types Not Accepted

Neither the X nor the L types Of sub
marines have been accepted by the Navy
Department. The X boats have done some
splendid work on preliminary trials. but
the builders are not ready to submit them
to the final test. and will not until the
contractors have made some changes in
them. The Secretary OF the Navy is ex-
ercising the greatest care in inspecting
submarines. insisting that all should come
up to the letter Of the government s
specifications. He believes that as the
submarine is still In the experimental
stage the government should be protected
against any defects that develop in the
boat
1t is understood that the chief trouble
is with the defective storage batteries.
Despite all the claims Of the manufac-
turers the battery problem has not been
fully solved. In some quarters 1t Is be-
lieved that a dependable submarine will
never be obtained until "A single unit Of
power is developed. The Navy Depart
ment Is making some experiments in this
direction, and one of the old submarines
will be equipped with what Is known as
the Nen system Of propulsion II authority

a view to submitting his recommended
