Extracts from letters written to
home folks by Frank M. Perkins, Jr.,
35Sth Supply Co., of Infantry, Goth
Div. American Exp. Forces:
Sept. 26, 1918.
wrote a letter to you last week
but it was torn, too much news. / am
sending home a German officers dress
hat. You will notice a bullet hole in
the hat on the side over the left
temple. He is a good German now.
Il did not get him. have been liv-
ing in a German hut for the last week.
We had fried chicken the other day.
The Germans moved out in the morn
ing and we moved in at night. / have
seen a lot that / can't tell you about.
One thing / can say is that ! am
mighty thankful to be alive. have
been away from the company nearly
all the time on detail service of some
kind. l suppose you read the account
of the American drive and what they
did. / will be mighty glad when this
war is over and.I think it will be soon.
l could tell you all kinds of news but
will have to wait till / come home.
Sept. 80, 1918.
AS / haven't anything else to do
this evening will write another letter
home. Fritz has rather behaved him
self today. It has been trying to rain
for the last day or two. Last night
about two-thirty l heard somebody
trying to get in the dug out. 1>got
up and let them in. There were four
of them and one boy was from Fair
land, Okla, and they were scared and
wet. About five o'clock in the morn
ing they left without me knowing it
and one of them took my cane. ]
wouldn't have taken a farm for the
cane, as it is one of the handiest
things man can carry here especially
in walking at night. / have a Ger
man leather belt and had to cut it
down to a boys size to fit me and in
doing so noticed a funny thing: When
Fritz first joined the army he was
nearly five inches larger in the waist
than when got the belt. You could
see where he would draw It up a little
more ever SO often. The other morn
ing a husky American came by with
two Germans, one had been shot
through the neck or shoulder. They
were both about the size Of Bob Ma
SON the one that was wounded was
not hurt much. ! have seen all kinds
of prisoners, big ones and little ones
old ones and young ones and lots of
them. They seem to be mighty well
pleased to be captured as they will
shake hands with each other and ap-
pear very happy. / guess they had
been told we killed all our prisoners

RAISE SUGAR ALLOWANCE
Each Person Now Allowed Three
Pounds Monthly

Washington, Nov. S.-Time honored
Iowance of two pounds monthly a per-
son for householders was increased to
three pounds monthly today by Food
Administrator Hoover, effective to-
morrow. The sugar regulations also
are revised to permit the purchase OF
the entire months supply for a fam
lily at one time.
This relaxation of the restrictions
placed on the use Of sugar four
months ago was made possible, Mr..
Hoover's statement said, through the
rapid manufacture of the beet sugar
crop in the West, the new cane crop
in the South, reductions Of consump-
ton in manufacturing, freer trans
portation conditions and patriotic con-
servation by the public.

NEWS AND COMMENT

If one wants to see the beauty of
the fall season presented in all It's
splendor, they should pay visit to
the old reunion park south of Baxter
Springs. This is said to be private
property but the owners are very
Obliging and judging from the number
of Baxter people down there Sunday
do not resent trespassing. The wood
is full of walnuts and on the north
east ridge of the grounds are enough
persimmon trees bearing enough per-
simmons to pucker the mouths of ev-
erybody in Baxter Springs and per-
haps the remainder of the county.
There are several hundreds of bushels
of walnuts lying on the ground. Many
people were gathering walnuts but
there is more than most of the town
can use this winter. BY getting per-
mission of the owner one can get q
nice sack of walnuts to flavor the win
ter cakes down there. There is a
great many hard and soft maple
trees in the park and a fringe Of
sumac around the edge. The colors
of the leaves of these two growths
are very beautiful. On the first nice
day that you have little leisure a
trip to the park won't be wasted.
Sunday was an ideal day for a
stroll. The weather was perfect and
the ground underfeet dry so we took
in a great part of Baxter Springs.
You know you don't get a look at
things travelling in an automobile as
you do on a Sunday afternoon stroll.
To the east, to the north, to the south
and to the west we saw dozens Of
pretty modern bungalows. About ev-
cry third block in the town one runs
onto a residence that is unusually
beautiful. Being hilly town there are
q good many surprises just around the
corner and just over the hill for the
Baxter sight seer. A surprise that
came to us was to see that several
nice homes have been completed dur
ing the past two months. A look at
the business district of the town is not
nearly so assuring as the residence.
When looking around look at all the
town. It is scattered and one is apt
to miss a couple of dozen nice homes
behind some little raise or out in the
woods along the river. If your faith
in Baxter is weak just take a look all
over the town.
Baxter Springs news., 1918-11-08

A Baxter business man has In
formed us that he will start q sub
scription paper this week to buy fire
hose for Baxter Springs. Fire hose
Is said to be @higher than q cats
back" but that Il is badly needed here
can hardly be denied.
This business man says that he is
going to make o donation and ask the
other business men of the town to
help him on it. He will canvass the
town Immediately following the elec-
ton and everybody ought to "chip" in
just a little because we need the hose.
We are told that the fire company
hasn't enough fire hose to protect a
back house If the fire has gone be-
yond the point where the chemical at
tachment to the fire wagon will not
extinguish it. Baxter Springs has an
unusually alert fire company. Not q
member but will drop a bite Of pump
kin pie or wild duck and make 100
yards in II seconds to reach the fire
station at the first tap Of the bell. It
really is a shame to have this bunch
Of fellows handicapped by lack of the
most necessary equipment. 1t is urged
the present water pressure is not
enough to help much even if we had

Of the so-called "hying fox" in reality

FIRE HOSE BADLY Need
ED. TOWN TAKING RISK
Fire Here Friday Was Warning Sub;
scribe to Fund to Buy Hose if
Presented.

the hose ut times-or greatly at any
time-but It would help some and
even q gallon Of water on the lantern
the old COW kicked over in Chicago
would have saved the city. Very lit
tie things will save n town from fire
some times. The city is very poor in
finances at this time and fire hose Is
very high and will be lower later on.
These are the reasons there hasn't
been any hose bought.
The fire last Friday threw q scare
into some Of the business men, as well
It might. II 1t had not been for the
Perkins fire proof building the wind
was just right to sweep out the south
half of Baxter Springs. The engine
in the fire truck ''bucked" at the last
minute and kept the fire company
from getting their usual flying start.
However, the fire fed by oil soaked
planking, had such start that the fire
company could have done nothing
without fire hose had the engine been
hot and ready to 60. A bad fire here
would be disastrous at this time even
if the insurance was more than the
worth of the burned area. Anybody
with an extra dollar or two cannot do
better than dig it up for fire protec-
tion.

SOLDIERS LETTERS

f-sks-.t'-sk-sts-st.-'r-f'-st
Somewhere In France, Oct. 0.
Dear Uncle Doctor:
Probably You will be very surprised
TO hear from me but this life Is full
of surprises. / have been on the
front several times but SO far have
all been very lucky. Just now we are
in n rest camp, billeted in a stable.
We were down in the Vosges noun
tains and from there we went over
land to a front close to Verdun. It was
quite a trip and we were on the last
big drive. We followed it up as far
rs we could with horses and then we
came back for rest which we sure
needed. The most Of our casualties
came from q bomb which bursted in
the mess line.
am the assistant Gas N. c. d. Of
the battery and It is quite q job in
itself. / was up to gas school about
month ago where we learned about
the defensive side Of the gas game.
Our gas masks are sure defense
against any gas that is used Our
work is to detect the gas and to have
the men SO drilled that they can get
their masks on quickly and can car
ry on necessary work that must be
done. So far we have never encoun-
tered any gas and it seems the Huns
are running short of gas. do hope
so because it is a terrible thing and
it effects the morale of the men. Gas
cannot always be detected in large
concentrations but even in small
amounts may be fatal. It effects the
eyes, lungs, stomach and skin and is
one of the worst things We have to
contend with. 1t is used in shells,
cylinders, etc., which are thrown over
in large quantities. Probably this will
give you a little insight into gas and
it is quite an interesting study.
Chlorine, phosgene, diphOsgene, chlor-
opicrine and Mustard are the main
gases used.
/ got q letter from Mrs. Jarvis after
/ had arrived in France so l could
hardly accept her invitation and since
/ have lost her address so ! could not
answer her invitation.
/ am not sorry for ever enlisting
now for the hardships we have in
dured but am tired of this army life
and the sooner l get back in the states
the happier l will be. l hope it is
soon too, and believe it will be, don't
you?
must close now as it is too cold to
stay in one place long. Give my love
to Aunt Bessie and Priscilla.
Yours,

It is characteristic OF New York that
It has to have a name of its own for
that part Of the Hudson which washes
the shores Of Manhattan. Doughty old
Hendrlck Hudson's name would seem
an appropriate one for any river, and
that part of 1t which lies between the
Battery and The Bronx is not north OF
anything In particular, except possibly
New Jersey or Florida; none the less.

A curious mode Of catching turtle IL
practiced In the West Indies. 1t con-
slsts in attaching a ring and line to
the tail Of species Of suckerhsh
known us the remora. The live fish Is
then thrown overheard, and immedi-
ately makes for the first turtle 1t can
spy, to which It attaches itself very
firmly by means Of sucking appara-
tus arranged on the top Of the head.
Once attached to the turtle, so firm Is
Its grip that the fishermen on drawing
