The following pretty poem was in
closed in this letter:
To Mother
In the evening when the shadows
Fall about our old camp ground,
! And the soft breeze start to murmur,
! While the stars look gently down
It's then think of mother,
For | know she thinks of me.
And upon the walls of canvas
Her face can plainly see.
Sure | know she's daily praying
! For her soldier boy, her son;
For its mother that is suffering
Not the boy that has the gun.
But dear mother, do not worry,
For I'm coming back to you
Whom the world respects and
h0nors
Our beloved Red, White and Blue.

SOLDIER BOYS WRITE INTER-
ESTING LETTERS FROM CAMP

Mrs. J. H. Hunt, of Route 3, has
received letters from her two boys
at Camp Sewer, from which the fol-
lowing extracts are taken:
From w. T. Hunt
There has been some spinal menin-
gifts among the boys up here but you
need not be uneasy, as we have the
very best of attention and every cf-
fort is bing made to stamp it out.
We are under quarantine now,
though there have been no cases in
my company.
When case appears in company
the sick man is rushed to the hos
pital and his whole company moved
to the woods and kept isolated until
all danger of other cases is past.
There was one case in Boyce's
company and they are all now quar-
antined in the woods, though they APP
pear to be having good time.
DO not worry about us as we are
sure everything is going fine and the
disease is about to be stamped out.

Don't be misled by this term, for

reality, signals from nature that the

sometimes drive away the infected

WHITE SOX PITCHERS
KEEP UP Good WORK
Edict Against "Shine Ball.
Has Not Stopped Cicotte
and Danforth
LEAD OF FIVE GAMES
LOOKS LIKE FLAG

United Press STAFF Correspondent.
NEW YORK, Aug 3i.-Regardless Of
the alibi league, fans. arguments and
all the other things necessary TO a base
ball season Eddie Cicottc and Dave Dan
forth are still pitching good baseball
for the White Sox and efforts TO check
their records have been Of no avail.
Through the work Of Cicotte the
White Sox stand today Ave fun games
in the lead in the American League.
He accomplished his latest victory over
the Browns Just after Ban johnson had
issued an edict depriving American
League pitchers Of the shine ball"
Some folks still believe the Red sox
can catch and pass the White sox. In
the East especially, Is this opinion
held but the masterful pitching Of Ci-
cote backed as u is with recent ex-
hlbltions by Williams and Danforth,
two others charged with shine ball
manipulation should be sufficient 10
make some OF those arguments lose
color.
A i've game lead means that the Red
Sox must win i've games while the
White SoX arc losing that many to tic
things up. They can't so on winning
continually while the White Sox do the
same. The end Of the season is toe
near.
A lve game lead for a team like the
White Sox should win the pennant
Eddie Cicotte should be good for few
more victories Faber is in flne form

Williams Is IN good shape Little more
than an even break is all the White
Sox need 10 walk in
