wealthy young matrons, out In the
streets shoveling snow-working as

They were not joking or laughing

similar circumstances over here. They
were in quiet. deadly earnest. They
worked regular hours. had their hour
for lunch and quit when the working
day was done, not before.

WASHINGTON. Nov. :. - While
government officials do not regard
the strike in the oil fields Of Louisl-
ana and Texas. as being serious, they
are prepared to take drastic measures
IL should become necessary To Insure
the continuance OF oil production that
region. The oil fields Of Louisiana
and Texas have an average monthly
output OF 100000 barrels. o..
with the consumption Of crude pc
troleum exceeding the production to
a considerable extent there is urgent
necessity in the preservation OF the
normal output In the Louisiana and
Texas fields. which are important con-
tributors to the national production.
There are thirty distinct fields In the
district In which the strike was called
November /. In these fields there are
eight hundred oil and gas companies
engaged in active work. Ninety per
cent OF the production, however,
comes from - large companies. II
is the employees OF the large com
panies that are least affected by the
strike.

to tell the truth l do not have time
TO write very much, we are busy
from morning till night. There is
drill and detail work, cleaning up and
taking care of yourself galore.
l sure like this life just the same,
it makes a fellow feel good to know
that he is in the service of Uncle Sam
and may get a chance to do our bit
against Kaiserism. / am in the Ma
chine Gun Corps, we get good drilling
as the Machine Gun is new branch
of the army and they are anxious to
try us out. There are ten company's
of 172 men, so yoS see am not the
only one.
The trench squad are north Of us,
also the artillery and engineers, they
are mostly big husky men; south of
us are the infantry, signal corps, red
cross and several other branches, it
sure is some camp.
You must excuse this writing as
can't carry ink very handy in my
barrack bag, l have to write on my
bunk as the tables are crowded.
The best place il camp is the Y.

soldiers fine and do more good than
any other one thing. If fellow only
does what he should and lives right
he ought to come home better man

thanks for the bible and birthday

We sure do work here that farm
er never would think of doing wash
ing clothes and dishes, sweeping,
making beds, all kinds of kitchen
work, guard duty and most anything
you can think of.
Every day we get new drills and 1t
gets a bit harder. Today l was act
ing corporal and it sure is some job,
there are 172 men in a company, 8
men to a squad, so you see it takes
bunch of Corporals.
How are the apples? l miss them
as they are hard to get around here;
we get good grub though, and plenty
of it.
We will soon get the bugle call for
