IN THE MAIL BOX

Dear Mir. Editor
 In glancing over the provisions of the dog ordinance lately passed by the Common Council it is noticeable that the ordinance is directed against dogs only and the prohibition does not ap- ply to goats or other four legged an imalS
 This exception reminds one of an actual happening during the session of the legislature of Montana a few years ago A bill had been introduc ed forbidding the hunting of deer with sheep dogs. Upon the reading one member moved that the bill be made to include hounds, another moved to include settlers and airdales, another desired to amend the bill to include fox hounds and bull dogs.
 Finally member of the legislature said; Mir Speaker, have listened to the numerous amendments offered to this bill and l now move you that the till be made to include all the rest of the sons of --!
 The local ordinance should be amended in the same way

Letter From Sergeant Edward
Blackwell

The following is a letter received by
Mrs. Edward L. BLACKWELL, Fifth
street, from her son, Sergeant Edward
Blackwell, who is at Camp Grant:
Dearest Mother: ?
Arrived safe in camp about o'clock
and it didn't take me long to get to
bed, because [ sure was tired, Now
listen, mother; don't you worry so
much about my going to France. [
know it is easy enough to say that,
but you know God is always watching
over us, and if he wants that nothing
should happen to me, nothing will.
Trust in Cod; he will take care of me
wherever | may go. And it was His
will that I should be here, otherwise
it would have been different.
Now, really, aren't you glad YOUR
son can help fight to make this coun-
try and the world safe from the hands
of a man who has done what the kali
ser and his machine of militarism
have done Now cheer up, mother, and
smile and look at the bright side of
things, for if God permits, I am COM
ing back to you unframed and just as
clean in body and soul as when I left.
Put all your trust in God and every
thing will turn out for the best.
Always your loving son,
SERG. EDWARD BLACKWELL.

April 4, 1918.
My Dear Mother and Father:
Received a letter from you today
and sure was glad to get it and hear
ing that all the family is we'll as it
leaves me. I am feeling fine, just got
through eating my dinner, and am
surely filled up, can hardly walk, but
there is nothing to do, so I can lie
down and sleep. This is sure some
time except yesterday the sun shOne
all day. We moved to another town
yesterday and believe me it sure was
some hike. I had some French hob
nail shoes on which were about three
times too big for me, and I sure have
some sore feet today, but have done
away with them now.

stone, but we don't mind that any

We have twelve heavy English
blankets and three shelter halves
under us and six United States blan-

cold.
Suppose the snow is all gone by
now, and the leaves are coming out
and grass green The grass is green
over here, but the leaves don't seem
to come out as fast as they do over in
the States and it doesn't seem to
warm up as fast either. Just stopped
writing your letter and had to clean
my gun, because that is our best friend
over in this country. Well, here it's
starting to rain again. Well. will it
ever stop. You know how l like rainy

APPEARANCES AND
SAVING SHOE LEATHER

GAS you bend the tWig so grows the
tree" is an old saying, and very true
one we all admit.
Neatness in childhood is a virtue
which in after years will be an asset,
and unless nursed and developed in
the children of today they will be just
that much worse off in after life.
The progressive mother today has
the child drilled in neatness through
a play system. For instance, each
night at bed time, when the little
shoes are unbuttoned they are taught
to "play soldier" with their shoes and
stand them at ATTENTION on guard"
the shoes being placed neatly to the
side of the room, just where they can
be found in the morning.
This habit of neatness can be
further extended to the shining of the
shoes, gaining thereby indirectly a
saving in shoe leather, as a good shoe
polish such as Two in One will greatly
improve the appearance of the shoes
and at the same time it's habitual use
will preserve and protect the leather.
Teach the children to keep their
shoes neat.

was up there. Gee! it feels good TO

it to us. Some Of the shells came
pretty close to me; those large ones
don't sound very good. They jar a
fellow too much but we stuck with
them. Our captain praised our men
for their spunk. He sure is nice

there with candy, bananas, post cards
and magazines. Had fine time for
about an hour. We came over a fine
country to Salt Lake City, but from
there on it got worse and worse. On
Saturday afternoon we swept cut onto
a desert that endured through all day
light, and was with us next morning
an awful country.
Sunday morning we ran a rim off
the baggage car wheel, and it had to
go to a carshop for repairs. In the
midst Of that awful country we wait
ed. Nothing but sage-brush, sand and
borax dust-two miles from Smiths
Twenty Mule-Te am-Borax mine" and
right in the midst of the borax coun-
try. The sage brush was drifted over
with sand in drifts like snow banks
through the desert we had passed
over. While we waited for repairs, I
went over to the section house Of a
Young fellow who entertained me with
his 18-months-old boy, and nearly got
left when the baggage car came back
had to run like a cuss to catch onto
the train as it pulled out.
About p m. Sunday we commenced
to see alfalfa fields, then orchards, all
irrigated. After we got into CalifOr-
MIA they got better, then it got so all
one could see were oranges and roses.
I tell you it was happy bunch. Ev-
eryone was hollering and yelling:
"Good-bye, Jefferson Barracks; hello,
California;"
We got to Los Angeles about p. m.
Sunday, took an electric train and
came to San Pedro, then walked about
a mile to the barracks. They were
not expecting us till next day, but they
got right busy and in about an hour
we had tents pitched and cots set up
then they took us all over to supper
Talk about cIOck-works! They aren't
in it. The way things move here, and
it is all so cheerful the way they do
the extra work It was no small job
for those two cooks to get supper for
1877 all half-starved men. We had
dinner at p. M, got here about 9; at
1880 we were in bed and snoring.
Took me about four days to get rested
up, but think I could lick Jack John
