THE Cambridge University Issue of the
 new Britannica is a magnificent set of books--printed in large type on large, wide margined pages of the famous thin-but tough India paper, and attractively bound, making each of the 29 volumes fine speci- men of the bookmakers' art.
 The purchasers of this large, higher-priced Cambridge Issue include nearly all the prominent men and women of America. If the price of the Britannica is a secondary consideration with you, you should certainly buy one of these last sets of the Cambridge Issue printed on genuine India paper and bound Tn full or hree-quarter morocco, or soft gray suede (You can also buy it in green cloth)
 Don't buy a set without seeing both the Cambridge and the popular '' Handy Volume'' Issues, and making your own comparisons as to the differences in bindings and prices. They are identical in contents-page for page, illustration for illustration.
 You will have to act quickly if you want set of either.
 The popular Handy Volume" Issue printed on genuine India paper will all be sold within few Weeks-the last day will soon be an- nounced when any order can be ac- cepted with the possibility of fill ing it.
 .a But the last of the few remaining sets of the Cambridge Issue will be sold even earlier week or so will see the very last set sold And this means the last in the world

Ernest Davis Writes
Dear Folks:

Lear folks:
Things seem to be happening in
Kendrick. Everything is about as
usual here. I don't get around
much. Wednesday was a half holi.
day SO l went over to see if could
find Tom Long. Found him all
right. He hadn't been transferred
from the depot brigade yet. You
see. the depot brigade is to fill up
the other departments of the regu-
lar army. It is not permanent as
all recruits go there first and then
are transferred to the branch for
which they are best fitted.
l like my present place pretty
fine. It's a branch where you sure
get action and sure will be great
when we get to drilling with the
horses. We are the only regiment
that won't be motorized. Our cap
tain seems to prefer the horses so
when l go over the top in France
I'll probably be driving six horses
on field rifle.
They are getting us ready on the
double quick. About every day we
have a short lecture from an officer
telling us just how they do it over
there and just what is going on
and today we were told we would
be in on the fighting next spring
and that great things were expected
of our regiment. The Army Y. M.
c. A. is sure a great thing. They
do great deal for the boys here in
the way of entertainment and the
like.
Tomorrow we all get to go to
Tacoma to see our 9lst Division
team play the Marines football
team. We will be there about
1000 strong for that game.
Well must bring this to a close
and do up my work and before nine
o'clock too as lights go out then.
In the morning is inspection SO
must be ship-shape. Have to get
up at 5:45 and have just ten min
utes to dress. 1t takes speed to get
all these things on in that time
worse than some old woman's s
clothes-leggins and everything.
When the bugle blows we must all
be in line for roll call. Best re-
CARDS to all.
Ernest Davis.

Letter From Roy Florance

AS the usual evening rush is over
and it is approaching midnight
when the majority of the patients
are sleeping, will try to write al
though we have five new operated
fellows here tonight and their wants
are unlimited. Helped take man
to the operating room this morning
in the hope that I would get to see
the operation but was not allowed
to. The three army reliables are
salts, iodine and hot water bottles
and am getting so I can hash up
these three applications in short
order.
There is quite a bit of moving
going on here Quite a number of
troops are being shipped south and
negroes taking their places here.
Don't see why they make a move
like that because some of those
coons are going to freeze here this
winter, but expect they have their
reasons for sending them. There
are commissioned officers among
them and we have to salute them,
which is the worst of it.
Camp Dodge is about six miles
long. It is made up of long rows
of wooden buildings, all similar in
construction, with a wide macadam
road running through the camp to
accommodate the traffic. The base
hospital, which is the largest and
best equipped building in camp, is
composed of small buildings joined
together by halls. 1t will hold
about 1000 men and covers about
forty acres.
Will have no more time to write
now. When fellow works from
seven till seven, seven days out of
the week, besides doing his own
tailoring, laundry work and numer-
Gus other things, there isn't much
time left. Write and tell us about
every little thing as letter is
always interesting to us.

Practice Greater Economy

Our government is asking us to
help win the war by practicing a
little greater economy in our eat
ing. The greatest immediate de-
mand for saving is with sugar.
We are in receipt of a communica-
tion from the Department of Agri-
culture which needs no comment
but which we. as patriotic Ameri-
cans, must individually act upon if
we care to do our bit and give our
Allies a square deal.
"The threatened sugar famine
makes it imperative that individuals
and families begin to conserve
sugar at once. The burden of the
task of reducing the amount of
sugar used in the preparation of
food will fall largely on the house.
wife and on those who prepare and
serve foods in public places. but
there must also be the cooperation
Of individuals if the serious conse-
quences Of a prolonged shortage is
averted. The services of the Home
Demonstration Agent will be needed
to advise and guide housekeepers in
their efforts to serve meals, to sat-
isfy their families, and at the same
time reduce the amount of sugar
ordinarily used. The first and pos
sibly the greatest difficulty con-
fronting the American Nation in
the outset of the campaign to save
sugar will be the prejudice of habit.
Americans have allowed their fond
ness for sugar to increase to the
point where it has passed extrava-
gance and become actual waste.

Dear People Of Kendrick: Will

tell you what the general routine is,
as you have all read Walter Thom-

nearly the same.

down here and stopped few min
utes at Shasta Springs. l can still
speak good word for Kendrick.
California may be a great fruit
country but judging from what l
have seen, the Potlatch has got it
all over California for general
crops.
Upon arriving at the training
station we were furnished part of
our outfit of clothing, a sea bag.
mattress and two blankets. We
were then taken to the detention
camp where we remained for about
three weeks. Besides drill and our
regular duties we were required to
take turns working in the mess
hall and doing guard duty. The
part we dreaded most was the
twelve to four o'clock watch in the
morning and the mess duty.
