Coffeyville, Kansas.-See where 1 am
today. This is the place or the state
where / must come to look into my
farm matters, and now that we are in

down South myself.
said down South, but have refer
should be like being down South. / am
going to contribute my part to the
feeding of the soldiers, for through eat
ing this war must be won, and without
eating it viii be lost. Food is essential
to all living things, especially to man,
and when he is past eating then you
may put it down that his time is getting
short, and he will soon be called upon
to face his God.
Mr.. Hoover has been assigned the
food administration and it is a great
job, and am told that our people are
going to help him, and 1 am told that
he is willing to have our help.

to put her there. She will be in the
University of Chicago this winter and

is going to put on the finishing touch
in her education, and some day will
take her place among the women of
thought.

all enjoyed it.
Rev. r. S. Everette is pastor of the

for every member of his conference
and one for the visitors, hence you may
know that had a good home. Reach

Cleveland graded school. This is one
of the finest men it has been nv lot to
meet, and he was glad to meet me and

both of us were glad, and both of us
met each other.

become thinkers. They have a fine
building. They are separated until they

home of Prof. Carter, for there is where
Bishop II. Blanton Parks and his wife
stopped during their stay in town. Mrs.
Carter is one pleasant woman, and she
