Blow aud Keep CaOI.

Mr.. EDITOR:-Permit me to
sit in the editorial chair and have
hold of the quill long enough to
say to your readers that when
some people are driving an au-
tomobile they seem to think that
the whole road is theirs whether
they sound horn or not. To-
deed, some people seem to think
that the man in the buggy should
get out of the way without the
sound of a horn or claXon. Few
men, if any, are mind readers
and therefore, cannot tell just
when you are going to leave home
or just when you are going to
overtake them on the road.
Therefore it behooves every one
of US to use our best common
sense, buy a good horn, and then
use it. If the fellow in the bug
gy does not get out of the way
at the first sounding, keep cool
and sound again.
Some time ago was out driy-
ing with a friend, and within a
distance of two miles two cars
passed US without the sound of a
horn. Just place yourself in the
position Of some very nervous
lady or child, and have some
reckless man, in an auto, rush by
you in a narrow place without
giving you any warning. You
might meet one man out of a hun
dred who will refuse to share the
road.
Now | hear you say that the
writer has never driven an au-
tomobile. But not so, he has
driven a number of different
makes, over all kind Of roads,
and in all kind of weather, al
hours of night and day, and in
at least five different states.
FAIRPLAY.

from her son Madden C. Grouse
who had been in Illinois for some
time but is now in the 305th Cav
airy, Troop A. division, Camp
Stanley, San AntOnia, Texas, the
following extracts are taken:
We are certainly having hot
weather here now. We are rid
ing our horses about five miles to
water every day, There are 400
mead in the troop am, in or may
be more. There are four troops
OF us. The 3J6th Calvary Com

string ofus when We all start
out, AS Tar ahead, and as far
backward, as the eye takes you,
you can see Us coming. ltmakes
you wonder where all the horses
came from. You can imagine
the dust we raise, which is GER
tainly fierce. We certainly are
dusty looking fellows when we
get back. When we start on
our ride we take all our equip
ments with us which consists OF
a shell belt, canteen, saber, rifle
land ropes; some have to take
shovel and pick. After we have
watered the horses, we take OIL
| all the equipment except the
saddle and bride, and then we
get back or the horses and drill
till noon. After dinner we put
the ropes around the horses nocks
and let them craze awhile After
that we tie them up and drlI!
again on them-Hrst with the
saber, then with the rifles and
then with the pistols. Then we
saddle up, put our equipment on
and go back to the tanks again.
and from there we retnrn to
camp. You ought to see US wind
ing around those hills and over
rocks and cliffs and through the
bushes. 1t certainly IS som e
country we travel over. The
other day we were all marched
out for review. The Major Cen
eraI was here. The Band was
playing and the flags waving-it
certainly looked nice. l wish
you could have seen those. old

Letter From Little French Boy.

children whose fatnerS nave Deen
killed in this terrible war. In
order to help the mothers take
care of their little war-orphaned
children, public schools, Sunday
schools, and kindhearted indi-
viduals all over our country have
oeen adopting one or more for
4 year at a time.
Thirty-six dollars is the sum re-
quircd to keep child a year.
This money is sent through a
banking house in New York City,
and every cent of the thirty-siX
dollars is used for the support OF
the child. By writing the Au-
vroir Society, Fifth Ave-, New
York City, pictures Of several
children will be sent you, from
which may be selected the child
you wish to support.
Thousands of schools, Sunday
schools and individuals have
already taken hold of this work,
and how much the work is ap-
preciated is shown by a letter
just received a few days ago by
Miss Minnie Reisner, whose
school at Salyx, Pa. last winter
sent thirty six dollars. Read the

Paris, June IS, 1918.
GOOD LITTLE GODMOTHER:
am very happy to have found
a young American godmother.
They are so kind and so con-
siderate of the poor little French
war-orphans. | am quite proud
to have a loving friend in America
that land sacred to all French
children. Although quite young,
only nine years, my brothers and
| understand all the good that
has been done for US, for my
good little mother tells US about
it and teaches US proper feeling;
of appreciation. She has much
to do, that dear mother, but she
gets along marvellously well.
How much credit she deserves
for the three years since oui
father was killed. Alas, we
were very youngl | was six
years old, Raymond five and little
Amede three.
Mother has never wished t
leave US. We are very good anC
well-behaved, for dear mother
often weeps on account of the
war. 1t is not right to give hel
trouble since she has suffered 81
much for US.
| have received the sum of 81
francs and 20 centimes for Ma!
and June.
| give you my sincerest thanks
godmother. My health could no
be better, only | do not like thu
cellars when the hateful bocheI
come, but hurry down withou
stopping to dress.
Goodbye and thanks >from tn
bottom of my heart.
Next time | hope to have
little word from you. Tha
would make ME happy.
Good health and his most cor
dial expressions of respectful
friendship from your godsol
Louis. Goodbye for this time.
