v POLK COUNTY BOY WRITES.

Hospital Training School, U. s. N.
 San Francisco, Cal, Oct i, 1917. The Mena Star, Mena, Ark. Dear Editor and Readers of The Star; The '. NJ. c. A. organization has requested the boys to write to their home papers and give short sketch of how we spend our time in the U. $. \. Hospital Training School.
 As l am a native of Polk county, i and enlisted at Hatfield, 1 am writ { ing to The Star.
 We have bugle call at 5:30 a. m.. and everyone has to be up, dressed and with tent sides rolled up ready for the first muster. We then line lup ill company formation for run of about one-half mile at double quick time, and as soon as we return to our street the roll is again called to see if any of the boys failed to make the run.
 At 6:30 the first call for chow tor breakfast sounds and we line lup and march down to mess hall. passing in one at a time. The mess hall is run on the cafeteria plan. lenter at door, get platter with what dishes you need at that meal, then pass by the walters, where you get what there is to eat at that time. We are fed the best that can be obtained and sure get plenty of it.
 Al s a. m. we have muster by our adjutant and are inspected and must have on the uniform of the day" 1" sometimes whites. sometimes blues. We then drill till g a. m. At this time we march to lecture rooms. where We stay till ii:30 and have three lectures. or sometimes an ex- animation to see if We have learned during the month
 At noon the dinner is served and we are lined up in companies again. It takes the line about one and one- half hours to pass thru and eat.
 Al 1 o'clock we go back to class rooms and have two or three lec- lures. If two we are marched out at } o'clock and drilled till D. m.
 From D. m. till most of the time Is ours, and this is when we have our fun There are shows four nights of each week. They are pret- ty good. moving pmture, musical numbers and comic opera If is pretty nice of the \. M. G. A. to have a building for us and furnish us with entertainment.
 On Saturdays and Sundays We get liberty for ? or l6 hours, about half the school goes on Saturday and come back, that night, the others go Sunday, and sometimes we get a 36 or iS hour leave. At these times we go to San Francisco or some other place and generally come back without any money, for San Francis co is pretty good place for sail or to spend his money.
 There are very few here who seem to consider we are at war You hardly ever hear q word said about it. either on the Island or in san Francisco This training appeals to most Of the boys as a picnic or a camping-out trip. We live in tents, get lots to eat and have plenty of fun
 There are boys here from most every state in the Union, but tho are from the South and A.esst.. - <. ' ~Gould writ ,iplore that might .Ae. Of interest t0 some, but will t1osf.

Gcorae Rork Writes Home.

Ft Douglas, Salt Lake City, Utah.
 October i, 1917. The Mena Star Mena, Ark.
 Dear Friends As today is set aside by the Army Y NJ. C. A. as newspaper day, every soldier is requested to write his home news paper az letter.
 The Twentieth Infantry is located at Fort Douglas, a very beautiful place just on the outskirts of Salt Lake City We have very comfort able brick barracks, surrounded by excellent drill grounds.
 The people in town treat a soldier as if they had known him all their lives. Whenever we wish to go to any special baseball game, show, or in fact anything that comes to town that IS of any consequence, tickets are furnished us and we are taken in autos. This attitude on the part .of the people keeps a lot of the boys from getting homesick, and is very much different than that shown us lat Fort Bliss, Tex, where we could go to town every night for a week and never be spoken to by a civilian.
 We have a fine Y. NJ. C. A. here that furnishes us an excellent pro- gram every evening. They are also teaching us French for an hour every evening.
 l am being transferred to the Aviation Corps, and will probably be sent to Long Island. Calf, in a very short time. I do hope so, as rumors are that we will be sent to Texas again and 1 certainly don't want to soldier there any more.
 We sure have an angry bunch of Rockies around Here tonight, as they had to take the ryphus propholaxis this morning and are confined to quarters on sick list until noon to- morrow. There were only eight of lus that didn't have to take it, and we got it last April in Fort Bliss.
 l am more than willing to say lhat when the war is over, for one. will be perfectly satisfied with Arkansas and old Polk county. A fellow doesn't know how to appreciate q good thing until he is away from il while. Dg
 l hope that l am not transgressing on your good nature when I ask you to print this, but as it is the request .of the \. M. C. A. here that we do write, | do not hesitate about asking lyou to do me this favor. Hoping that you are enjoying the prosperity that is rightfully yours. am, Very truly yours.
