DRAFTED MEN ATTEND THE
AUTO TRAINING SCHOOL

Messrs. Robert Cannon and Ralph
Leslie, of the Gift neighborhood, have
enrolled in Rahe's Automobile Train
ing School, in Kansas City, Mo, and
will take thorough course in auto
mobile mechanics. They are two of
several young men from this section
of the country who are attending the
school. Many who are in the draft
are taking advantage of the delay in
the second call by educating them
selves for service in the transport
department Of the army. These
young men have come to realize that
service in the transport department
is just as noteworthy as service in
the trenches. and they can learn truck
driving and repairing in a very few
weeks.
England already has 100000 trucks
in army service and this country will
need at least as many. This calls for
several hundred thousand auto ex-
perts,' and it is a serious problem to
know where these trained men are
coming from.

all, kinspeople remember their young
relatives with this kind of gift. The
foundation for a college education

try them. They are the best savings
plan.

Dearest M. A.: This is to inform
you that | am on Yankee soil, and
am well, and do hope that you are
the same. Well, things are very diff
ferent here in regard to passing
through the little towns and country
generally. The ladies do not shake
their handkerchiefs or show their APP
probation of our presence. There
has been no war here up to now, and
orders are very stringent on foraging
or taking anything from citizens. /
hope that we shall soon be back in
Virginia. Of course the rank and
file of the army knows little or moth
ing Of what is before US. but the in
dieations are for a lot of fighting in
the near future. Have not yet heard
from you, as we have been on the
