Only Way That Private Eugene Beau pre- Hears From Parents Is
 Through I his Paper.

Letter after letter. written by Mir. and Mrs. Adefard Beaupre to their son Eugene. now at the front in France, has failed to reach it's des- tination. For long time Mrs. Beau pre- did not hear from her son, and when she did, it was to tell of receiv- ing no letters from home Private Beaupre, however, does receive The Patriot, and knowing this, the boys father and mother have asked us to print the following letter so that their son may know that they are still well It is rather unusual, and somewhat remarkable, that the home paper should get through to the boy, while letters sent to the same address utterly fail to reach their destination. Be that as 1t may, The Patriot IS on ly too glad to help MT and Mrs Beau pre-

right depth, says todays bulletin
from the National War Garden Com
mission Of Washington. which is co.
operating with this paper in ureine
food garden planting to help win the
war
Plant seeds shallow, unless special
directions tell you otherwise Depth
cf planting also depends somewhat
unen the kind Of soil. Ii it is heavy
clay or soil that is continually moist
The planting should be shallower
than in sandy or dry soil However,
it is important you plant all seeds Of
The same row at The same depth.
This gives uniformity Of growth.
Unless the sell is wet the beds

win do this, especially if YOU finish
the JOB by smoothing the surface

BELIEVE ADVANCE IN
PRICE WAS REFUSED
Coal Operators In Fairmont
District Had Asked For 1t.
(s. (. Meredith Press Bureau

IT, L. f~uibn FlCbc Oht Sahj
l7airmont, w. Va, March rs. The
advance in selling price requested by
the coal operators Of the Fairmont
district is believed to have been re-
fused While operators nave private
adyices from representatives in
Washington to the effect that the
matter has not been fully acted upon
FROM adyices which have reached J.
Walter Barnes. Federal Fuel Admin
isuator for West Virginia, It is rea-
sonable to conciudue that the id
vance has been refused
1t has been felt all along that con
ditions in the Fairmont district were
about the same as in the Pittsburgh
district. A telegram TO MIR. barnes
from L. Y Minis OF the Fuel Ad
ministration at Washington gives an
advance in the price Of prepared coal
in that district but it is feared that
this is an error in transmission Of
the telegram. In the event That this
advance had been granted It might
mean that Fairmont district opera
tors would get the same advance
The telegram to Mr.. Barnes is be-
lieved to be in error from the areu-
ment that prepared coal generally is
permitted TO sell at twenty-five cents
more ton than run.of-mine 1t is
true in this regard that there was
fifty cents diiferentiaE in the Pea.
body Lane agreement which gives
color to the claims OF those who con.
tinue to hope for raise in the Fair,
mont district
From information received from
Washington it seems that $500 re-
mains the base price for coal in
Ohio. Virginia and the Pittsburgh and
Fairmont districts with As cents adj
ditional to cover advances to labor.
Ii Is stated positively in this iele-
gram that Ohio and the Pocahontas
field Of West Virginia gets no ad.
vance.

Moscow, Oct. 20.-Correspondence of the Associated Press.-Of aM sad situations growing out of Russia's dismemberment, that in the Caucasus is most tragic. By the terms of the Brest-Litovsk peace treaty Russia ce- ded the provinces of Kars and Ba- t0um to Turkey. But Caucasus, which is conglomeration of races, noun tain tribes and feuds, was as strong ly opposed to Turkish domination as it :. was to Bolsheviki rule.
 The Armenian massacre still fresh in their minds the Caucasus peiople refused to recognize the treaty and united to fight Turkish aggression But they were weak and unorganized and could not withstand the on- slaughts of superior Turkish armies directed by German commanders. Their position was still further ag- gravated by persistent propaganda of

At the same time the association adopted resolutions praising the work of Judge Wood on the bench, and sent to him the following communication: "Hon. Earl s. Wood, City:

 And, whereas, he is now about to leave his home to take up arms in de- fense of our country in it's hour of need,
 "Now, therefore, in order to show our appreciation of the services he has rendered to the. country in the conduct of his office and of the fur ther services he is about to enter up- on in the army, we commend him to all as a faithful, loyal, efficient and trustworthy man, feeling confident that his many sterling qualities will bring him new honors in the defense of his country.

SOLOIER'S LETTER BOX

Somewhere in France, Sept. 29th. MT. M l.. Case,
 Pine Bluff, Ark.
 Dear Sir and Father:
 Your most weicome letter of Aug ust the 4th just received and l was glad to hear from you. We do not
 get our mail as regular since the drive" commenced, but it is Wel- come at all times,
 1 have not heard from Mary and the kiddie for three months, but l know that it is not her fault. You always give me the news, so l don't worry about it.
 We'll, Daddy, I guess you are bet ter posted about the war than l am, as l seldom get a paper until it is there is nothing to. What we really know we see with our own eyes. and it is enough. And, at times, there are things that I would rather not see. Maybe I can tell you about them some fine day.
 Daddy, it is a common sight to see poor, thinly clad woman walking along the road pushing baby buggy and leading a. poor old COW, with her own clothes tied up in towel. While writing this the mail, man came up with another letter. so I will answer them both now, as it may be some time before l get another chance to write l am enclosing an order 1 for some things that l need. l need fountain pen, as l am writing this with a pencil two inches long; I also want some leather glov-
 es and home-knit sweater and Bull Durham tobacco, if yon can't get the tobacco tell Chris Yauch to bring me a fruit cake.
 Daddy, tell Mir. George Adams, of the Graphic, that I was walking over the last battlefield of the American boys and found copy of the Graphic. It was wet and had been tromped on, but I took it to camp and dried it. It had the account of the drive in 1t, written by Mrs. Taylor of Pine Bluff. She is now in Paris with the Red Cross. In the article she acknow ledged receiving an Ambulance robe through the Schober Martin DrygOOds Co., @ What she told was only small
 lart of what really happened. You should have been with us, we did not sleep for four nights and days. They would shoot shells at us all day and try to drop them on us at night; we would be lonesome if we did not hear the big guns.
 Daddy. please give my address to Mustach boys and other boys of Pine Bluff and tell them to write to me when they get to France, as they might be right close to me and we jwould never know it. It certainly would be a welcome sight to me to find Pine Bluff boy over here. r ] have not seen a. man that l knew since I arrived in France. I wish I could tell you what we have accomplished and what we are still doing in this mans country, but 1 it is against regulations. 1 I will close for this time. Write often to your little soldier boy. AS ever, your son,
