Dear Editor,
| am writing you a short
letter to let you hear from us
boys. We are getting along nice.
ly except we have a plenty OF
measles and humps stirring in
the Camp. The warm summer
days have passed and we are
getting tough for winter. We are
fareing well at the present, get
ting a plenty to eat and wear.
We are living near the Blue
Ridge Mountains where there is
all kinds of good fresh air. This
is a beautiful place. We are not
far from Asheville, Henderson
vile and many other western
North Carolina cities but the
trouble about visiting these places
Of interest now is, the whole
camp is quarantined and we can't
go anywhere for 81 days.
| have met several hundred
"Sammies" from South Carolina,
Tennessee and North Carolina
and they are all good boys and
are real anxious to go across"
and meet the Americans who are
already over there. We admit
that we have left our loved ones
behind but we are going back
home to be with them again,
latter we get the Kaiser). We
boys have been sent here for
some purpose and believe me we
are making good of the hours
we are spending here drilling. |
We are now taking our last train
ing then we will be ready to meet
the boys in France and have
some fun with the Germans.
We would like for some of our
friends to visit this camp and see
what we boys are doing.
Dear Editor | wish you would
send US a few copys of the
Herald, we love to read the news
from home once and a while.
Respectfully,

Cases Have Been Related Of Some
! Who Would Faint at the Mere
n Sight of Roses.

( A case is related of a monk who
would faint on seeing rose and who
never Quilted his cell at the monastery
while that flower was blooming. An
other authority tells us of how Vim
cent, the great painter, would swoon
upon going suddenly into room
where roses were blooming, says Lon
don Tlt-Blts.
valtaid tells us OF an army officer
who was frequently thrown into vio-
lent commissions by coming In contact
with the little flower known as the
pink, while the same authority also
tells of the case of lady who, II
present when linseed was being boiled
for any purpose, would be seized with
violent fits of coughing, swelling of
the face, and partial loss of reason
for the ensuing "a hours.
Writing of these peculiar anti
pathies and averslons, Montague re-
marks that he has known men of un-
doubted courage who would much
rather face shower of cannon balls
than look at an apple. In thinner
mann's writings there is an account of
a lady who could not bear to touch
either silk or satin, and would almost
faint If by accident she should hap
pen to touch the velvety skin of a
peach.

SMALL BOY HAD NOTICED
That He Knew Man In Khaki 40
Marine Did Credit to His Powers
of Observation.

AS the young lady and her escort
drew nearer, one youngster with an
air of superior knowledge Informed
his companions: Hes United

Overhearing the remark, the young
lady questioned the small boy 'How
do you know he is mariner
"Why, lady," exclaimed the young
ster, che wears an ornament on his hat
showing an eagle, globe and anchor,
but doesn't wear any hat cord"
The colored hat cords, yellow, blue
and red, help many civilians to recog-
nize at once cavalryman, an infan-
tryman or artilleryman. However, the
United States marine dressed In khaki
Is still an enigma to many persons
who lack the powers of observation
displayed by the small boy on River
side drive.

Would Conserve Garbage.

The latest campaign to be launched
by the department Of agriculture Is
one for the conservation of garbage.
Conservation campaigns have been
cutting down the contents of the gar
bage pail as far as possible, but there
will always be source of fats and
fertilizer material, both of which are
sorely needed all over the world. The
department hopes to induce every city
of any size to install reduction plant
to recover these materials from the
garbage. An average load of garbage
contains per cent of grease and 20
per cent of tankage, which latter is a
valuable fertilizer. The food conser-
walton campaign, however, is showing
its results In reduction of the
amount of fatty material In the gar
bage.
