to places near their own homes. They
will be fitted for trades for which
they are adapted, and at the time of

Dear Editor:
AS | have the opportunity now,
want to tell you all some Louisiana
news.
We boys have plenty, but none toe
good.
Louisiana is a warm climate anC
the nights are cold and the days are
hot. The boys have to let their tent
doors stay open at night, cold or hot,
and each man only has three blank
cts for his cot, and we also have q
little stove in the center of the tent
and one squad to the tent-eight
men--and we have pine knots to
burn: and we sure do have ourselves
some fire at night.
There are 10000 soldiers here
now. and a great many more to come
yet.
We boys are going to see the great
stream Of water | gness, We don't
see any chance to get ont now, &C
cording to the news we get over here
Some are anxious to go and some are
not.
They will take all strong men and
leave the weak ones here to become
strong or die out one; and there are
lots of the boys dying hare now-on
an average of 8 men day-but they
are in hospitals; some dying with
measles and some with pneumonia and
spinal meningitis. Only 4 have died
with. spinal meningitis. Pneumonia
is the most dangerous disease We
have here now.
We are digging trenches now, and
gu should see them; they are 6 fee
and 8 inches deep and a feet, 3 inches
wide, and no one can tell what it is
until he gets right on to it. They az
covered with grass, and as crooked as
a snake. We are instructed by the
French in digging these trenches,
they are sure some rough talking
officers, and they sure are hard to
understand. We will get used to
their language some time, | guess.
| see Capt. W. C. Mathis and his
men are here now-the Corinth COM
pany, the one joined in May and was
rejected from in July-and now | am
drafted in.
Capt. Mathis says he wants to 20 to
France, and | think he will have the
opportunity by spring or sooner.
Camp Beauiegard covers 7xl7
miles. The place where our camps
are used to be turpentine orchard,
and the water isn't very good. This
place has been condemned three
times. and we are all still here.
| want to thank the W. C. T. U.
women Of SelIuer for their package,
which came to me while | was in
Camp Pike, Ark, and can say | sure
did appreciate it very much. thank
ing all the good women Of Selmer.
The boys here have a little song:
Il am in the army and can't get out;
All ! can get here is squads right
about"

 And you think my life does?"
 Undoubtedly. McCann is a villain by nature; he was born with criminal instincts, which have no wise been changed by the possession of wealth But he is fully awake to the peril of his position. The fellow is a coward back of all his bluff, and I do not think his criminal instincts are bloodthirsty. But he has drifted into a desperate situation, from which he must extri- cate himself at any cost"

YOUNG WOMEN WANTED

It is imperative that every young woman in our United States, secure in the enjoyment of Liberty and Hap piness, should do her bit" by taking the place of some young man who is performing heroic and valiant service on the battle front.
 In previous conflicts women have not been unresponsive to our coun- try's call, and the women of today will likewise spring to the fore and do mans part wherever they can. The need for young women today is imperative. Not only is there a shortage of stenographers in all gov ernment departments at Washington, but private firms all over the country must have stenographers and office help to fill the gaps caused by the war
