Epworth League Entertains
 The Epworth League of the Methodist church entertained with Halloween High Jinks last Saturday evening. About fifty young people met at the church at eight o'clock. After a few minutes they were guided by ghosts into the Epworth League room where their fortunes were read to the strains of wierd music, in the half light of lan- terms.
 A trip to the Haunted House" was the second feature of the evening, and the party, still led by ghosts, went to the home of one of the members of the League where they were numbered from l to 55, inclusive, of the denomination of $1 ,O00 each, dated November 15, A.

Childrens' Halloween Party

With Mrs. E. H. Duffield and Mrs James Kennedy as hostess es, the little folk of Williams had most joyous Halloween party last Saturday afternoon at the Odd Fellows Hall. The room was appropriately decor ated with strings of lanterns in the form of pumpkins, black cats, witches, etc.
 The guests were conveyed to the hall in cars decked in Hal lowe'en colors, which with their masked occupants, pres ented a fantastic and grotesque appearance.
 MT. Barnes and Mrs. Lee furnished the music for the oc- casion and the one hundred or more little men and women tripped the light fatastic toe to their hearts content--some as Red Cross Nurses, as the Girl of the Period, as the old-fash- toned maid, as George and Martha Washington, as the DI1C1oI1 SO1olSA, doC 11O AA1iOA No11 Sammie, as the Liberty Bond and as clowns galore.
 The table was placed up- on the stage for the "tots" and the larger folks were seated just below, presenting a picture of wonderful gayety and color.
 Many were the funny games and jokes arranged for the de- light of the guests, both young and old.
 This will long be remember ed as a Red Letter Day by the little folk of Williams.

Somewhere i'm France, Oct, 1917
Dear Father:

4 you for some time. but | suppose

like going to bed than writing
letters. Some day when you get
a little time, write and tell me all

year was my first time to vote,
and l told you would vote the
way you said the first time. You
said, Vote her straight and
then you said, mot the party, but

way then, but | have since.
didn't think Wilson handled the
Mexican question right, but he
played it like a deep game of
checkers. He looked a long ways
lahead. He knew he would have
ito enter this war that he is in
now, and what mean, he didn't
get i'm any too quick. If he had
waited six months longer before
he started to get an army ready.
we would all be talking Dutch.
/ The French will say the same
thing, but the English won't. You
can see it here though. The
English We're nearer i'm than the

enough. You know the English
have always hated us, but when
we marched through London, YOU
would have thought we were their

much cheering in my life. Why
dld they march us through their
streets? 1t wasn't because the
king wanted to see us and give us
! dinner. III il had been. he could
4 have come to our camp, like he
did one OF the regiments. They
advertised ii for a week before we
landed, and when we got there
the streets were so crowded there
was hardly room for us to march.
ne reason we We're there, was
TO give the people new hopes and
Keep them from what happened i'm

is Keeping the kaiser out of the

been there too, if il hadn't been
for one of his aviators. When.
they were within l8 miles Of
Paris, they had the line ahead of
them broken and could have
marched in, but an aviator came
mack and told the German general
mat the English were coming in
behind him. Then he retreated.

would have driven him hack into
