FROM LUTHER PERKINS
Park Field, July IL, 1918.
Mother and Folks at Home:


Dear Mother and Folks at Home:
Will try this warm day to write
you a few lines, perhaps the last from
Park Field. Most likely will leave
this place by the 4th. Think that we
will go to some camp in Maryland,
am not sure. We r going to fill IN
squadrons or to the coast defense.
One can never tell where and what he
is going to do.
Well if / go there guess it will be
some time before l get home again,
for from there / guess that We will
cross to do our bit what ever it may
be. Though it may seem hard for you
to bear but God knows best, and will
protect and keep me if He sees fit.
/ hate to leave you all, but duty says
go, so / must go and if it's Gods will
I will return safe and sound, and then
you car be proud that you had a boy
that was not fearful of doing his duty,
when it might mean his life.
Though if it cost my life and many
other brave fellows lives, it is better
that than to let the whole world be
~butchered by the ~barbarians, as the
world has come to know the German
people are, for they have proved it
many times. / only hope that it will
not take US long to show them they
are on the wrong road, and peace will
soon be made. We boys may then re
turn home, and will be better citi-
zens than otherwise we would have
been.
Now don't worry about me. Only
let your prayers be that | may do
what is right. in the sight of God,
and do my duty for my country,
matters not what it costs.
l will be in this country some weeks
yet, probably months. But | hope to
get over there at the earliest possible
chance and do my bit. Most of the
boys feel the same way about it.
Well guess l had better go for this
time, will write you all as soon as
things get settled.
With Loves for all.
Your son and brother,
Luther D. Perkins,

MURDERERs OF NATURE

Every admirer Of nature should
revolt at the deeds told in Am
bassador Ponfield's report Here
is a sample:
THE most ruthless and revolt
ing thing that visitor to the
evacuated area perceives is the
total destruction Of all trees,
fruit bearing and ornamental.
Nearly every tree in the Aisnc
department has been felled, and
for what purpose? There can be
but one-to crippcl the restora-
ton of northern France to useful
ness. Men and money can re-
build the homes and factories in
year or two, but 10 restore the
orchards and other useful trees
will call for a half century. What
the Germans did to tree life in
northern France was the system
attic numbering Of nature, nothing
less.
All this destruction-and more
if poasible-would be wrought in
America if the IIun had his way.
II is for us-you and your neigh
bor--to see TO it that his plan is

ccssful ending Of the war will

supervisor and when he could come.
Voshmik Immediately wired that he
would accept and asked for 80 days
time in which to report. He was
sent another wire Thursday night to
the effect that he must report in the
national capitol in seven days time
or on Wednesday, August 18th.
The position at Washington, d. c..
does not pay as good salary as Mr.
Voshmik was getting here but he is
anxious to serve his country and ex-
poets to work for a position in the
artillery, at Washington, in hopes OF
being sent to France soon and so be
able to see actual service at the front
In the departure of Mr.. Voshmik
it is unanimously conceded that the
district has lost one of it's most res
pected and popular citizens who tool
an active part in community work

ivities.
In token of their respect and regard
a number of his friends gave a hur

which to advertise the affair, larg'
crowd was present and enjoyed a de
lightful evening. Mr.. Voshmik wa

READY FOR
CAMPAIGN
MANY CANDIDATES NOW IN THE
RACE FOR PARTY N0MINA-
TIONS OF SEPT. 3RD
SOME OFFICES ARE VACANT
No Candidates On Either Ticket for
County Surveyor

From all indications there will be
some lively contests in the primary
election OF September 3rd and when
the primary election is over it will
take an astute guesser to figure out
who will be elected in the general
election
The politicians who had il doped
out that there would be but little in
terest taken in the coming elections
has little to say now that the list of
candidates has finally been completed,
for there are nearly as many candi-
dates this year as there were two
years ago in the primary election.
The office of sheriff was a popular
one this year and there are three can
didates on both the republican and
democrat tickets. The republicans
also have three contestants for the
nomination as assessor but have no
candidates for county superintendent
of schools or surveyor. The demo-
Gratis have no candidate for county
attorney OF surveyor. The present
county surveyor, Harley S. Cave, did
not file this year as he expects to be
called for government service almost
any day.
Following are the candidates who
are seeking nominations at the coming
primary election:
State Senator-Republican W. S
Walker. Democrat; Glenn Gorsline

new FEDERAL
LABOR PLAN
L. s. EMPLOYMENT SERVICE WILL
ENLIST COMMON AND SKILLED
LABOR NOW
TO PLAN A BETTER SYSTEM
Must Have Men for All War Indust-
ries Of the Nation

The federal governments new labor
program went into effect in every
state of the Union on August LIST and
il is claimed stands next in Importance
to the selective draft.
Under the regulations which went
into effect Thursday no employer with
war business who has force of more
than 100 workers will be permitted to
recruit common labor and all such en-
ployers will be required to use the
federal employment service.
While the restrictions against pri-
vate recruiting, for the present, ap-
plies only to unskilled labor, as soon
as possible it will be extended to in
clude skilled labor and eventually no
employer may be permitted to en-
ploy men unless the latter have Unit
ed States employment service cards
In the meantime, however, private re-
cruiting of skilled labor will be sub
ject to regulations prescribed by the
service, which will prevent the whole
sale labor stealing" and "poaching
that has been largely responsible for
the disorganization of the labor sup
ply.
War industries of the United States
are at the present time short between
| 800 900 and 100000 common laborers
/ This is the situation which the United
States Employment Service has been
delegated to relieve by the president
and the production department ant
boards of the government
The overcoming of present short
ages and the insurance of war manu-
facturers of an adequate supply of la
Dor for the future has made this i'm
perative. The new labor-supplyint
program will be conducted in accord
ance with the following four cardina
principles: First, war work must hav'
men at any cost. Second, withdraw
ais of workers from nonessential in
dustries for war industries will b.
equaliZed. Third, the volunteer prin
ciple will be followed in dealing witt
the individual worker. Fifth, onl,
fit men will be sent to war industries
Each state will be given a quota o
common labor, which may be draw
upon as needed. The state director
of the Public Service Reserve, in turl
will divide their states, assigning +
each division a certain portion of tn
states quota. Each state will Great

MUST REACH W. S. S. QUOTA SOON
Sales Are Increasing Each Month
But Purchases Must Be Doubled

T. ]. Jones, county director of the
War Savings Stamps campaign in this
county reports that in the June drive
a total of 1915 pledge cards were sign
ed and that the records show total OF
$45, $4,000 subscribed and purchased
which is 81 percent of the quota OF
Boundary county.
Chairman Jones has been working
ever since the last drive to check VI
the many pledge cards signed and as
soon as this work is completed he will
take the necessary measures to secure
the remainder of the quota.
According to the reports of Post.
master Wiley the total sales OF w. S
S. in this county up to June LIST, were
S15, 273.00. The sales for June were
$4,000 and it is estimated that the
July sale was at least a 100000
more. Figuring on this basis the to-
tai sales in the county would amount
to about 100000 which will bring
| the per capita up to about s7.03.
