Letter from Frrnce
Somewhere in France,
December "a, 1917.

morrow is Christmas day for it
seems so different from all other
Christmases / ever had. 1t is
the first one ever spent away
from home and / hope I'll be
fortunate enough to spend the
next one there. However we
are e2pacting to have good din
ner over here and try to pass the
day as pleasantly as possible.
Several of the boys have guns
and have killed a good deal of
game during the past few days.
At present we have five ducks,
one goose, three pheasants, sew
eral partri lges and several
snipes and they are being pre-
pared by a French woman in a
farm house nearby. Since we've
been officers we are faring bet
ter. Our food is a great deal
better than before but our bur-
racks are only temporary build
ings and are rather cold. There
are only about twenty-five of us
over here at this field and we
are doing squadron flying in tens
and fifteens. We are expecting
orders at any time to leave here
and go to a French school of
aerial gunnery and from there
we will go to the front. Our
bunch over here is the most ad-
vlnced bunch of flyers the U. S.
has with the exception of the 1st
aero squadron which served in
Mexico. 1t seems strange that
the men who were flying alone
when | enlisted in Memphis
should be behind me now,
doesn't it? Those of US who
were sent over here for training
nad a rather hard time of it but
being the first flyers to go to the
front, if we live thru it, there
should be something in store for
US. | think the Government in
tends to scatter us among the
French escadrilles so as to get
some experience and be ready TO
Join the new u. S. squadrons
when they are sent out next
spring.
For the past week the ground
has been covered with snow but
we've done some flying just the
same. 1t is mighty pretty to fly
over the snow but easy to get
lost as landmarks are few and
hard TO recognize.

Hon. Hal C. Cooper was billed for
a political speech at Royal hall Friday
evening, but failed TO keep his appoint
ment owing to an accident while
being driven to this city from James
vile early in the afternoon. The auto
struck bump in the street throwing
Mr.. Cooper against the top with such
force as to badly wrench his neck and
he was taken to the hospital for atten-
tion His injuries were so serious that
he was later taken to Racine where he
has since been resting.
On another page of this issue will
be found the political announcement of
B. J. Springer. In 1916 Mr.. Springer
lacked only twenty votes of being the
unanimous choice for sheriff in his
home town. This year those twenty
ought to come over to our side and
make it unanimous. At the present
time the outlook is good for him to
make a gain in nearly every voting
precinct in the county, which points
strongly to his nomination. Not only
Mr.. Springer, but Edgerton is certain
" entitled to the office this year, and
this seems to be admitted by great
many throughout the county. AS to
his competency to properly tend to his
duties there can be no question, so lets
all pull together and nominate Chief
Springer for sheriff of Rock county.

Burns of this city, were united in mar
riage at st. Joseph's church at 7:3O
O'Clock Friday morning, August 23rd,
Father Olson of GAINESVILLE performing
the ceremony. They were attended by
Miss Mamie Burns, sister of the bride,
and Lewis Roherity, brother of the
groom, as best man. Following the
church ceremony a wedding breakfast
was served at the home of the brides
parents to the near relatives of the
contracting parties, and later they de-
parted for Milwaukee on brief we'd
ding trip.
Both the young people are prime fav-
orites in this community, the bride hav-
ing been employed as teacher in our
public schools for few years past.
The groom holds a responsible position
with tobacco concern in Stoughton
where they will make their future
home. The Reporter joins a host of

wishes.

Female labor is doing larger share
in the harvest of the present tobacco
crop than ever before this year. The
war has taken so much of the farm
help for military duty that the women
step Loyalty into the ranks and are do
ing mems work and receiving the big
wages that growers willingly pay.
1t is no uncommon sight to see half a
dozen women at work in many Of the
tobacco fields.

Benefit Ball Game Next Sunday.


Arrangements are perfected for an
exciting baseball game to be played
at the Driving Park next Sunday
afternoon, Sept. !, when the Fair

few players of the Hardware aggrega-

worth seeing. The Beloit team are
playing in good form, but Jimmie
Menhail thinks he can match them at
every point in the game. The receipts
from admission will be donated to the
Salvation Army coffee and doughnut
fund, a worthy charity. so that all
will be contributing to one of the rec
ognized war activities. Every Ameri-
can with red blood in his veins is only
doing his bit in lending his presence to
next Sundays game. Let's grouse the
old time interest in the great Ameri-
can game of baseball and everyone
turn out and help root for the Edger-
ton team.
The receipts from last Sunday game
when the Edgerton business men de-
feated the Trailer team by score of
Is to 8, was $31. The receipts for next
Sunday ought to reach four times that
amount if the public appreciate the OBJ
ject of the entertainment.
