"PlONEER" IN FRANCE
IS "READ TO RAGS"
by BEMIDJI' BOYS

: Miss Irene Lappan has received a
letter from her brother, Willie Lap
Ian, now in France. He says all the
boys who left with him are we'll and
happy, but are having an awful time
learning the names and. value of the
coins in that country. They were
not yet at their permanent camp
when the letter was written, but ex-
.pected to be there soon. He also
said they received one Pioneer since
they landed and it was read to rags.
He said, II do not know of one
thing that could have brought us
as much enjoyment as that one Pho
neer," which shows how anxious the
boys are to receive word from home.
