HEARS FROM FRITZ

The Delta Independent publishes the
following very interesting communiea-
ton from Fritz which on the war ques-
ton is silent and therefore we feel that
the Post can re-pdblish it without be-
ing accused of violating its rule of
neutrality. Read it. It's good for
what ails you:
States of United, Sept. the Two.
My Dear Friend Gus:

and write you nit lead pencil. We do

but your old aunt, vot you lotfed SO
veil iss ded. She dies New Monia on
New Years day in New Orleans 10
minutes in front of fif. Some peoples
think she had population of the heart
The doctors gave her up all hope or
saving her ven she died. Her breatn
leaked out. She leaves a family of two
boys and two cows. They found $loo
sewed up in her hustle. 1t vas an aw-
full lot of money to leave behind. Sue
willed it all to the boys; in case they
die, the fortune goes to the COWS. Old
Mrs. Offenblock iss very sick. She II
lust about at deaths door, but the doc
tor thinks he can pull her through. She

human beast. 1 took him up to the
horspital to see the sick people and We
had lovely time.
Your brother Hans took our dog
down to the sawmill yesterday to have
fight. He ran up against one of dcm
big circular saws; he only lasted one
round. AL the Grossenback family

save extry charges 1 cut off the but
tons; you IL find them in the inside
pocket. Mother is making sausage and
the neighbors iss all looking for their
dogs.
We sent Hilda over to the butcher g
to see if he had some pigs feet and she

too. l got a chob in the livery stable
as stenographer raking down hay for
the horses. Loie Kratz vas sick, the
doctor told him to take something; he
vent down the street and met lkey
Cohen and took his watch. 1key had
him arrested and got a lawyer. The
lawyer got the case, but Loie got she
works.
Lena vent out to milk the COW, but
the COW kicked her and gave her the
milk punch. The flat was cold last
week; Father called the Janitor lob
ster and he made it hot for him. He
