Dad" Weaver has sent word
to the Commercial club that
Monday, August 10, has been set
aside as Missouri Valley and wes-
tern Iowa night at the den and
that they expect at least 500 men
from Missouri Valley and v1cin-
ity. Several from here have been
down to the show this year and
all say that it is we'll worth the
time of anyone to attend. An eff
fort should be made to get up a
crowd of at least 500 from this
county.

There is b movement on foot TO
have the Chautauqua held this
year on the new High school ath-
letic field. There is plenty OF
room up there, and as camping
has died out entirely there seems
to be no good reason not to hold
it in town in place of at the fair
grounds. 1t wO.ald seem that an
increased attendance would re-
suit.

went to town and listened to q

started to play our National

applause by the Frenchmen and

the Mare Island navy yard:
Mare Island, July %, 1917.
Dear Mother and Father:
Haven't had letter for acou-
pie of days, and don't know
whether I've answered your last
one or not, but if | slip in an
extra one, you won't be angry,
will you? I've been going to tell
you got the letter saying you
had changed places, but don't
seem to get it in the letter until
I've finished, and then think I'll
put it in the next one, but am
glad you like it, and it sure is
good you don't have to do any
work, for that is about all you
have done for the last SO years
isn't it? Sure would like to come
nome when | get out of school
here, but from the way they do
with the ones that are finishing
now there will be no chance-get
sent to a ship right away. Some
who live close by get a couple of
days off, but'not very long at that,
and I'd have to have at least ten
days, for it would take six days
on the road.
No, l wasn't even close to the
explosion, but the rest of the
bunch went down right away. My
feet were SO bad | couldn't have
gone if I'd wanted to.
How many we're drafted from
there? Well, it's almost time
for supper, SO will close, and also
have to write a letter. Bye bye,
love to all, from your son,
LEO MCKNIGHT MOHNEY.

4 LETTER FROM COMPANY :.
Villisca, Ia, July 20

Mr.. Lahman:
Seems to me that some time or
other you asked me to write you a
letter once in a wlrile. Did you?
oh. we'll, you probably would say
no, for fear l would write, so
let's strike that question out. I'll
take it for granted that you did
ask me.
Haven't made much of a start
for France yet, but everything
must have start sometime or
other, and if we start easy we will
have lots of wind left for the fin
: lsh. A start has been made,
though, and the $50 men in this
camp are gradually changing
from whatever they were to SOL
diers. They are learning fast,
are willing, and most of them are
full OF pep. If only the quarter
masters department will get busy
and get clothing and other
equipment here, so we have
something to work with, every-
thing will be lovely. AS it is we
haven't enough blankets, cots,
rifles, shelter tents, pyramidals,
uniforms, orwell, we are short
OF everything. Whoa, wait
minute! Blankets, cots and pyra-
midal tents came a day or two
ago, but have not been issued.
The gang would feel better about
it, though, if they all had plenty
of clothing. Some are dressed in
wool, some in cotton, some in
overalls and some in ordinary
civilian clothing. It's up to Sam,
though, and all we can do is wait.
1t certainly looked good to see
all the old men reporting for
duty ON the 18TH. There was
Misunderstanding, impromptu wrest-
ling matches, and all other mani
festations of JOY that men indulge
in when they meet old friends.
There was swapping of stories of
the summers happenings-some
of the boys had been west, some
east, some south, and all had
some story to tell. The best,
though, was when we began do
you remember the time this or
that happened?" Oh, it was a
grand and glorious feeling. You
know how it is-and the new men
kind OF sticking around listen
ing.
The people around here are
sure treating us we'll. Food of all
kinds is brought out, from the
plebian cabbage to the queenly
onion-besides string beans,
eggs, pie, cake, ice cream, lemon
ade-oh, we'll, what's the use? To
use a navy expression, 1.-The scott
in good Or if you prefer an
army, expression, "Some chowl"
Tomorrow all we strangers in
town are invited out to dinner.
Yes, Villisca thinks lots of II
company. And for that matter
the boys themselves do, too.
L company is keeping up it's
good name. Didn't lose a man on
the final examination, all men
present at the mastering, paper
work all up in excellent shape.
Oh, I'll tell you F. company is
some company!
AS far as moving out is con-
cerned we don't know thing ex-
cept rumors and you know what
that amounts to. But, from the
observation of different things
around here, am of the belief
that we will move out between the
10th and goth of next month.
About all | have to say this
time. If ever | write again I'll
probably have more to write
about. Things don't happen often
enough here. Until then, goodby
and good luck.

tame as kitten.
There is Y. M. C. A. right in

Anyway I wouldn't be allowed to.
We have taken couple of

nice. | ate dinner with him one
Sunday. He treated me fine.
| haven't heard from any of the
Valley kids. l wish they would
write to me, for it seems SO good
to hear from dear old Missouri
Valley. They would think so too,
If they were in my place; so tell
everybody to write to me and if
can | will gladly answer them.
Give all the Valley people my
best regards and not 70 forget
their soldier boys in France.
Don't worry about me, for | am

all. Read Psalms xiii and XIV,
and it will prove that to you
Well, I've lots to tell you when
