THE RIO GRANDE
FL Paso. Texas Monday Night.
Mr.. |. Gelders, Editor.
Fitzgerald, Georgia,
Dear Sir,

fitzgerald, georgia,
Dear Sir,
Just 4 few words from Texas 70 lie;
you and the home folks know il w
u are getting along.
The weather is ideal. except for tic
very cool nights, and it makes the
blankets teel comfortable. and fire
feels good.
For several Gays past Inc cntre
Georgia brigade has been preparing
Tor the big militdr; parade 70 De held
in F! Paso tofnoirtw in homo: CT the
Cattlemenss Convention which is i'll
session here and there will be, all told,
about 10000 soldiers taking part.
Am .awfIEt8x sorry I won't be able
to take psut my duties as mess
sergeant w0h't ReEnit In fact, l
don't attend @dfss a#lts formations Of
any kind
!. As you have no doubt read Of, the
entire FL Paso district is quarantined
and soldiers are not allowed up town,
only Oh government business. This
was done in the hopes that it would
III way tend to lessen the amount
OF sickness among the soldiers sta
toned here and it has already made
quite a difference.
There is a rumor afoat to the ef-
feet that the entire Georgia brigade
was going to be sent home in motor
trucks. but SO far. it has not been con-
frmed officially and I have my doubts,
for it would cost an awful lot OF mo-
ney, and at this time OF year I hardly
think they would subject the men to
that much exposure. it'surely would
be long trip, and if we survived, it
would be one we could never forget.
From all accounts I personally don't
think we will be out here over 5 or
9 weeks longer, and they can't make
it too soon for me. All the company
clerks are very busy getting their pa
per work in shape, so that when we do
get back home, it won't be such a
hard job to close up each mans &C
count and be mustered out of the Fed
eral service
John H. Rowe, known around here
as Red. has been appointed a cor
poral in the machine gun company.
and Red" can be seen al anytime of
day now. sporting his newly acquired
stripes"
Quartermaster-S Sergeant Mack Wat
son is still doing business at the old
stand" and any time you drop around
to Company &C." you can find Mack
doing Bunk Fatigue" of which he
seems very fond.
Cook Buck Huff" is still making
hash" for the boys OF the company
and has shaved off-his moustache.
Sergeant J. Lester Norris, of baseball
fame is trying OUT for the Regimen
tai ball team. and he stands to make
good, for we all know what "Lcs" can
do when it comes to playing ball.
He's there!
News is pretty scarce just now, but
will let you hear from me pretty reg
ular, so the folks at home will know
what we are doing.
If you see fit to print these few lines
you are welcome. appreciate the pa
pers very much. Thanks.
Sincerely,
Sergt. w. ]. Cone.

GOOD NEWS FOR THE COAL
AND WOOD DEALERS BUT

Atlanta, Ga, March 10-Robins
have been seen flying south in great
droves during the past few days in
Georgia near the Alabama line, and
the old-time weather prophets declare
that this portends long winter and a
late spring
1t is said that more robins have
been seen this far South this year
than for many winters in the past,
Usually most of the robins come as
far as Southern Virginia and stop.
Some of them stopped there perma-
nently when the writer of this was
a boy. for robins make fine pie.

some of the methods employed for
raising money locally for the relief of
the suffering, Mr.. Hare closed his SER
mon with these words:
Let us give ourselves in loving
sympathy and in helpfulness in every
way possible. Let US look the duty
straight in the face. Let us not be
found wanting in good works, in char
ity in sympathy in sacrifice. But let
us avoid the self-indulgent, self-satis-
fed, pleasure-seeking life which the

WHITE HOUSE DINNER IN 1902
President Jefferson's Fare Is De-
scribed In an Interesting Manner
by Guest at His Table.

Manesseh Cutler, the founder of the
Ohio colony, and father of the ordi-
nance Of 1887, kept diary all through
his public life and it is now in the
possession of Charles G. Dawes. 1t
contains an account of dinner at the
White House, given by President JEFF
ferson February 6, 1902, to which Mr..
Cutler and six members of the house
were invited.
Mr.. Cutler, according to the Colum.
bus Dispatch, wrote that there was
'rice soup, round of beef, turkey, NUT
ton, ham, loin of veal, outlets of NUT
ton or veal, fried eggs, fried beef,
pie called macaroni, which appears to
be a rich crust filled with strillions Of
onions or Shallots, which 1 took 1t to
be; tasted very strong and not agree
able.
Mr.. Lewis told me there was none
in it; it was an Italian dish and what
appeared like onions was made of flour
and butter with a particularly strong
liquor mixed with them; ice cream,
very good; crust wholly dried, crum-
bled into thin flakes, dish somewhat
like pudding, inside white as milk or
curd, very porous and light, covered
with cream sauce, very fine.
''Many other jim-cracks, a great va
riety of fruit; plenty of wines and
good. President social. We drank
tea."

ARGENTINE SEETHES WITH WAR
AND ANTI-WAR SENTI-

BUENOS AIRES = Argentine is
seething with war and anti-war dem
strations today. Buenos Aires paci-
fists had a pitched battle in the street
with the pro-war advocates. The pac-
fists won. They are planning a mon
ster demonstration for this afternoon.
Practically all the provinces report
disturbances. Anti-German demon
STATIONS have probably caused some
deaths in some of the more excitable
communities. The German legation
in the Kaiserhof hotel and the Ger
man club here were attacked and many
persons injured.

north of here. Reserve is q small
town of 200 or more people with an
average Kansas population in the coun-

miles. Yet in the town and the entire
area of country within six miles of the
town there are not more than ten

VETS HALT
DRY DRIVE
UNTILFALL
But Program May be Upset to Permit
of Action at This Time-PrOhibi-
ti0n Sentiment Grows

WASHINGTON-T drive to make
the nation dry has been temporarily
halted The prohibition amendment
that the senate passed late yesterday
afternoon will probably go over un-
til December because the house has de-
cided to consider only war measures
now.
''It is likely that no action will be
taken until the new congress con-
venes," Representative Webb said to-
day. when it comes up it will pass
overwhelmingly"
The drys are laying the groundwork
for pushing the fight. The house drys
discussed a Democratic caucus to de-
termine whether prohibition shall be
brought up despite the previous agree
ment to consider war measures only.

WORK OF WOMEN

URGENT APPEALS COME FROM
LEADERS OF THE NATION
TO CONSERVE

WASHINGTON = Wherever war
gardens" are flourishing successfully
and the prices of perishable fruits and
vegetables are reasonable, housewives
by starting at once to can, preserve,
pickle and dry.
Telegraphic reports coming to the
United States department of agricuI-
ture from Idaho reveal that there are
large surpluses of certain perishable
fruits and vegetables which will go to
waste unless energetic measures are
taken to conserve them. If these prod
ucts are not bought and conserved
now, they will deteriorate. Both COM
mon sense and patriotism demand that,
at this time, women who are looking
ahead, cooperate with the emergency
food conservation campaign of the de-
partment of agriculture. g..
That the women of Idaho have re-
spOnded promptly to President Will
sons appeal to secure nothing short
of the perfection of organization in
order to cope with this situation, is in
dicated by reports coming daily TO
Washington.
"The producers have responded
promptly to the appeal issued by the
president at the beginning of the war,
and nature has heen hountifu1 4" do
clared Secretary of Agriculture Hous-
ton today. "The time has come for
us, as consumers and conservers, to

the day of his arrival in Butte, three
weeks ago, when he came from Ari-
zona. In ali Of them he attack
ed the government and in some of
them he bitterly criticised the admin

States soldiers as Uncle Sans scabs in
uniform In the same speech he said
"If the mines are taken under fed
'eral control we will make 1t SO damn
ed hot for the government that it
will not be able to send any troops
to France
Referring in another address to his
interview recently with Governor
Campbell of Arizona, Little said that
he used these words:
Governor, don't give damn
what your country is fighting for;
am fighting for the solidarity of
labor"

separate peace with Austria. Italy has
demanded arms, coal and money for an
offensive against Austria and is con-
tending that Italy can win the war is

Each Gets a Notice

Today DR.. Carithers, Sheriff Camp
bell and Auditor Estes are hustling
to have everything in proper condition
to expedite the work of examination.
1t is the impression still that Latah's
quota of 129 men will be obtained
from the first 800 men on the list.
Notices will be sent to this first 300
men tomorrow. They will all be dated
August 8. This, then, puts it directly
up to the men to respond. No ex-
cuses for non-appearance will be ac-
cepted, because the department at
Washington has ruled that the post
ing of the list and notice at the place
of examination constitutes notice.
But notice on form furnished by
the authorities is going out to each
man giving his serial number, his or
der number, the hour and place of
examination and calling attention to
the penalty fixed by law for non-com-s
pliance.
