STILL IN HOSPITAL
Nov. 20, 1918.

Dear Folks:
I am still in the hospital, but I am
able to walk around all over. Perhaps
by this time next week | will be on
my way to the front, as my leg is near
ly as good as ever.
How are Clarence and Harry? / do
not expect Clarence is in the service
yet AS the war is practically over,
since the armistice has been signed,
he will be able to remain at home
Now, l look forward to the time when
| can return home. Perhaps it will
be during the next six months or
shortly after
We are having very nice fall wealth
er here with light frosts nights. No
snow yet and it is a great deal like
October is at home We only have
more rain
There are large number of fellows
leaving for home soon. Some of them
are in pitiful condition, but they are
coming home with the same high spir-
its they left. But they all have a feel
ing of contempt for the Germans,
whom they have seen commit the out
rageous sins and crimes. So don't
let anyone slip you the idea that the
Huns" were not as bad as you have
seen them pictured.
Since last August | have not heard
from you or anyone. But / am hoping
that this letter finds you all in fine
health.
Tell everyone that I am in fine
health and expect to be with you be-
fore 1920
Be sure to tell Jennie and John
hello for me and to write.
Your loving son and brother,

The farming industry of this vicinity
is certainly on boom, if one will con-
slider the enormous acreage that will be
planted to foodstuff this year. New
homes with suitable barns and other
outhouSeS are being constructed all
over this section of the country, and
land that has never been farmed before
is being put into cultivation, The farm
ers are showing a patriotism that is
hard to equal in the manner in which
they are stepping forward to do their
bit in the government plans of feeding
the allies and her own armies in Eu'
rope. True, there is material motive
to be attached to this added effort OF
the farmers, but not any more so than
in any other branch of the federal work
where the employees are being paid
double and treble their former wages,
