FOOD SHORTAGE IN FINLAND.

AT the request Of a committee from
Calumet-Oscar Keckinen, S. Huston
en- and G. J. Jackola. and a committee
from Crystal Falls r. Stolberg and
Andrew 0strand, took up the matter
OF getting food to Finland.
The State Department advises me
that measures are now in progress
under the direction of Mr.. Hoover
which will help relieve the food short
age in Finland at an early date. Some
of the details of the arrangement are
still to be worked out, but / am in
formed that an itial shipment of food
stuffs, amounting to total Of some
thing like ten thousands tons, is be-
ing released at once by Sweden and
Denmark under an arrangement with
the associated governments.

TO RETURNING SOLDIERS.
EMIL BERG

The Community Labor Board wish
es TO announce its readiness and de-
sire to render any assistance possible
to those returning from the front with
honorable discharge paperN from eth
er the Army or Navy. Everything

any OF these members will receive
prompt attention.
In Crystal Falls the office OF the
War Relief Board, located over the
Iron County National Bank. will be
headquarters for registration Of these
returning soldiers, or, II more con-
venient personal interview with any
OF the local members OF the above
community board will be sufficient.
Practically all reliable employers OF

PROCLAMATION.
(By the Goyernor.)

While the spirit OF Christmas soft
ems our hearts and permeates the soul
OF our splendid commonwealth. a
great cause pleads for a warm hand
clasp, asks for manifestation OF your
approval and summons you to its
comrGdeship.
Never in the worlds history have
the words peace on Earth Good VIII
Toward Men" been fraught with more
meaning to mankind than at this the
nineteen hundred eighteenth anniyer-
sary Of the birth OF the Christ.
And never before have the nations
of the earth been so nearly as one in
all that makes for the worlds future
peace and mutual good will
The Red Cross has. perhaps. been
the greatest single influence towards
this end.
Its charity is as broad as humanity.
1t stands in judgment on neither
friend or enemy; where there is need
It's services go. 1t is indeed the
Greatest Mother in the World"
Could there be more appropriate
time to answer the call OF the Red
Cross than Christmas time? The Red
Cross Roll Call should be all Human
ity's Roll Call.
Let US make Michigan's observation
of Red Cross week as universal as
Michigan's observation Of Christmas.
Therefore, /, Albert T.. Sleeper,
governor of Michigan. hereby set
aside the period of December 10th TO
December 2Srd, inclusive as the Red
Cross Roll Call, and ask the entire
citizenship of our state to respond
voluntarily, quickly and generously
to the summons.

November II, 1918.

Dear Folks:
Well, seeing I'm so happy, and in
good humor for writing, I'm going TO
write to you folks again News was
brought to camp today that the war
Is over, and We are sure happy
bunch down here now.
From our tent we could see the
French raising their flags all over and
the bells were ringing There was a
lot Of shooting going on too.
All Of the boys around our camp
went to town, and we sure saw some
sights. French people marching up
the dark streets, singing and dane
ing. We didn't enjoy II very much as
we could not understand them. 1t
would have been much nicer II wd
could have celebrated in good old u.
s. A. The only thing we understand
was "Ail Finish" which meant "Hur-
rah for Americans" We got tired Of
that, as we never had a cent to spend
as the soldiers here are always broke.
We went back to camp and built
large fires by our tents, as we always
do, and sang Keep the Home Fires
Burning"
All we talk OF now os our trip
home. l hope we can start soon as
I'm very lonesome. l was some hap
by boy when l received those three
letters and the picture which you
sent to Camp Merritt.
My only wish is that we could get
back in the good old States inside OF
three months. Back where we can
understand people and see where we
are walking. Everything is dark here,
and II does nothing but rain, just to
help fellow get more lonesome
Well, l guess in few days I'll be
at the electric work, probably with the
signal corps. Time will fly much
faster while at steady work.
A sweater and some socks would be
fine as our wooden clothes wear fast
and tear fast. We sure need wooden
clothing now, for. It's real cold and
damp. We are always travelling from
place to place. 1t sure is tough. We
have some pretty tough training mud
too. But we're used to that now.
How are all OF you at home. Kiss
Jennie for me. With love, and hope
next time you hear from me I'll be
ready to sail for home.
Your loving son.

From Lieut.. Ernest Wood.

In personal letter written to Henry
Johnson from Somewhere in France,
under date of June Is, Lieut.. Ernest
Wood writes:
Your most appreciative letter re-
ceived o. K. and | am pleased to state
that those of us who were permitted to
remain in this company are getting
along fine. Those of the Edgerton con-
tingent here and their titles are as fol-
lows:
Lieut.. Wood, commanding Co.
Lieut.. Ellingson.
Sergeants-
Ogden, Mrhlon, at 1st Army Corps
School, student.
Clarke, Norman, Automatic Rifle
Sergt.
Ogden, George, Automatic Rifle Ser
geant...
Lynts, George, at 1st Army Corps
School, instructor.
Ogden, Guy, Automatic Rifle Sergt.
Bunker, Chas., Rifle Sergeant.
Fosse Stanley, Rifle Sergeant.
Jenson, Paul, Rifle Sergeant.
Corporals-
Lutz, Kenneth, Automatic Rifle.
Nelson, Carmen, Bombing.
Whitford, Lawrence, Bombing.
McDonough, John, Automatic Rifle.
Short, Edward, V. B.
Ogden, Gerald, Automatic Rifle.
Rossebo, Bjarne, Bombing
Dave, Harold, SHIPPER.
Madden, Willis, Rifle.
F'redendall, Wellington, Rifle.

Mabie, Floyd, Extra V. B.
Guinness, Adolph, Automatic Rifle.
Hayes, Richard, Buglar.
Norgord, Evan, Bugler.
Goldman, Glenn, Runner.
Head, Thos., Platoon Runner.
These on-commissioned officers are
worthy of their title in every instance.
You will find that Lieut. Ellingson
won't be the only officer before this
war is over. We sent George Lynts to
school and then grabbed him for in
structor. | commanded the boys on
their first trip into the trenches and
they made good for youngsters, and
Lieut.. Ellingson commanded a platoon.
You will notice Paul Jensen is now a
sergeant and is doing fine work-never
gets excited. | was pleased to hear of
the star that was given me on the Ma
sonic honor roll and hope some day |
can look it over. Give my regards to
Miss Short in your office and tell her
her brother in this company is getting
along fine.
Now, if the boys fail to write, their
relatives shouldn't get uneasy for at
times they will have something that will
keep them from writing. If any of them
meet with an accident and I know of it
will notify the ones concerned. We
still have about $1,000 left in our mess
fund which Edgerton and GAINESVILLE
contributed. ETA
Your sincere friend,
E. WooD, Lieut.. 128th Inf
