Autographs


For speeding up agricultural produc-
ton the cheapest and quickest agency
is lime.
The demand for pork is in excess of
the supply. Consider the pig for quick
meat production.
Keep stock off the pasture until the
grass has had chance to get a good
start. It will be better for grass and
for stock.
Save all your glass Jars and wide
mouthed bottles for canning and pre-
serving this year. Glassware is going
to be scarce and expensive.
The next two months will tell in
large measure the final story as to crop
production. There is no need to wait
for chance to enlist in the forces of
the farm.

Dear Brother Will: = + f'i
Isreceiyed your letters. Of Oct.
2, Z and 10, three days. ago and
was very glad to hear from you
| again. I am getting along o. X.
fl will say right now that l will not
even try to trump the size OF the
letters you wrote me.
Writing letters has been my
chief occupation outside of drill
hours for the past three days, the
the job Of answering thirty-three
letters isno small task. Besides
this, l had to rewrite about nine
on account that l had mentioned
something that wouldn't pass
censorship. 1rewrote six this o.
I'm. Mothers was one Of them.
guess I'll try to answer some
of the questions that you have
asked OF me. To begin With, Il
can get film for my kodak, but
owing to the complications that
might arise from using it,. I
Haven't been very active with it..
The French stores (some) carry
the Eastman films, and also ko-
daks. However, ii we should
move to some place where film
cannot be had, / can have you
send me some, as it would pass
censorship o. X. -:
Say Will, if ma cans any more
fruit, you can can some for me,
and then I'll tell you how nice il
was. | guess I'll do what you
spoke about-put up storm win
Idows-as we'll ventilated barns
need a little closing up.
! l am writing this in the Saliva
ton Army hut. come up here
about every night, as it is better
I than the Y. N. C. A. We have
good tables, light, heat, wood
floor. l guess I have said quite 9
bit about it in other letters. 1t is
now about .6:45 p: m. and a mar
from the Y. M. C. A. is just start
ing: to give a talk on Syria. He
Fhas been there. on active duty FOL
over three years. He states thai
the couptry is ravaged. and people
i starved to death. In many in.
stances, whole towns have STARVED
to death, and is one of the mos
striking results OF incidents O
this great war;. -,
Here we have Victrola at oul
disposal. 3 tits Of British max,
and is a dinger. Many records
that we have home are found il

j ord La Marseillaise" is pro
