LETTER FROM CORPORAL CARR
Governors Island, N. !

Governors Island, N. I.
Governors Island remains on the
map, even il German subs are only rs
miles away, blowing up our ships.
They are very careful not to attack
anything but small fishing boats who
hare nothing to hurt them with.
Corporal J2c,'vis and l receive The
Tines every day and we greatly ap-
preciate it. We note with some in
terest the work being done in Monet
and Barry county securing Red Cross
funds, and we want to heartily con-
gratulate you, one and all, on the
w:ty you can raise money, which
proves that you have the welfare Of
us fellows at heart who are doing our
bit. While we are here on the Island
we are not in the trenches, as some
of our boys, but we do not know just
how soon we may be.
This is a very interesting place to
be, as one can see new things every
day. We have several sea gulls here
and they are very beautiful bird.
Just one hours ride from here will
take one to Coney Island, where there
is some amusement.
| received card today from Chief
Mechanic John F. Willis, mailed from
Chicago, ILL.,, stating that Battery B,
.342nd F. A., was on the move and |
suppose they will soon be chasing
Huns on the western front. Here's
wishing them luck and safe return.
New York city is quite some town
to view from the Woolworth building,
which is the tallest building in the
world.
We are having lots of rain here,
but it does not stay muddy very long,
because this island was taken from
the Hudson river tunnel and consists
of sand and tin cans.
AS I haven't time to write any
more, | shall close, with regards to
one and all.

MESSAGES FROM OUR SOLDIER
BOYS in CAMP AND OVERSEAS
LEAVE TAKING OF
CAMP FUNSTON BOYS

Loyal Davies, who is in Y. M. c. A.
work at Camp Funston, writes to tell
Barry county about her gallant sol
diers who have just left camp to &c
overseas. His letter follows:
Camp Funston, Kan, June 10.
Editor of Monet Times:
Thought perhaps the people Of Bar
ry county would like to know little
about their boys leaving for the
East. When l arrived in camp l was
very fortunate in being placed in Y.
M. c. A. No. IL, located in the artil-
lery section, and, as most people
know, there is where a large per cent
Of our boys were. The 342 F. A. was
all from Missouri Cor, as the boys
said, "from Gods country").
Well, on a certain day | heard they
were to leave, SO | got busy telling
my friends goodbye. All of them
We're anxious to go and | want to say
they were the best looking soldiers
that have left this camp.
The band played cover There" as
they left the barracks. Barry county
has cause to be proud of her men, for
all of the officers spoke very highly
Of, the Barry county men.
If you people could realize how
much the boys enjoy a letter, you
would write them whether you knew
them or not. Let me suggest that a
number of you write a letter to the
Barry county boys and address it to
some one of them. Let them know
how proud you are of them.
When the S9th division gets over
there, watch them rout the Huns, for
| want to tell you that those 3-inch
shrapnels and those APPOINT sevens
sure do the work, and the boys know
how to use them.
1t was with heavy hearts that the
staff of this building told the men
goodbye, and we think of them each
day, but at the same time we were
proud of them for the spirit they
showed.
The message they asked me to give
their relatives was, "We are going
over and do our best" They We're un-
der good officers, especially those in
the 342nd F. A. A division like, the
89th, of which our boys were part,
will win and they will never think of
giving up. Remember the home boys
and let them know you are thinking
of them. 4f
Cordially yours,
L. L. DAVIES.

MONETT MEN PLEASED
WITH CAMP DODGE

Monett men who went to Camp
Dodge, Ia, for military training are
well pleased With the camp, which is
one of the best in the United States.
Fred L. Jones, in a recent letter,
gives some interesting notes of camp
life as follows:
81 arrived here 0. K. and like the
looks of things. The bunch of boys
in my company are picked men and
all good fellows. ] have never heard
complaint out of any of them ex-
cept when you get in their way when
the cook hollers, "Come and get it."
That is what we all like to hear at
meal time. We always have plenty
of everything to eat, was surprised
at the way they feed the soldiers.
II am the only Barry county boy in
this company. / see John Hile and
Emmet O'Dwyer occasionally. They
are in Company H, 35Oth Infantry,
across from my barracks, but | have
not had time to talk to them much.
The other Barry county boys | might
not see if stayed here three years.
I have watched thousands pass every
day, thinking I might see someone
that ! knew, but they are all stran-
gers.
"I have already got my bunk, two
blankets, tooth brush, hair brush,
comb, soap, bath towels, laundry bag,
haversack and rifle and several other
things and have already had three
days rifle practice, and when l get
my suit on you can hardly tell me
from real soldier. - We get two
suits, two shirts, two suits of under
wear, one jacket, two raincoats, two
pairs of shoes, two pairs of leggins.
If you could see all that junk in one
stack you would wonder how | could
even get it in wagon, but when it
is all packed up and tied on me it
doesn't look like I was carrying
much.
"There is a, creek on the west side
of the camp, just in front of the bar
racks, about like Shoal creek, and on
the east about two miles is Des Moines
river.
"P. ST. saw Boots Owens and
Byron Kennedy pass. think they
were with Company f, 350th En-
gineers."

DON'T GRUMBLE

Don't grumble secretly to yourself
OF to others about the many cam
paigns. End them by helping to end
the war. The War Savings campaign
is for the purpose of ending the wal
VIGOROUSLY at the earliest possible
moment.
Unless the men and women of this
country respond to the demands of
war cheerfully, generously and proud
ly-in a whole-souled manner-the
demands will increase and the war
will be prolonged.
Do your part June %.
There is not enough labor and not
enough material in this country to
supply the normal peace demands and
also the war requirements of the ma
tion. One of the two demands must
be reduced. Either you and I must
dispense with needless purchases or
the soldiers and sailors must be de-
prived of necessary equipment. Which
shall it be?
You are not asked to give up any,
thing. You are simply asked to
POSTPONE the purchase of needless
luxuries-goods and services not
necessary for your health and eff
ficiency. And you are asked instead
to lend money to the United States
so that the government can purchase
to goods and services which you tenn
porarily give up, and use them in
prosecuting the war. On January l,
1928, the government will return the
money to you with interest at the rate
of 4 per cent, compounded quarterly.
If necessary, you can get the money
any time before maturity.
The war savings movement is so
important as war measure and so
splendid an opportunity for profitable
investment that the people of Mis-
souri, need only understand it to re-
spond to it. We believe that they
will respond to it in the same pa
triotic spirit which has prompted our
fighting men. We believe that from
now until June 2S the men and wom-
en- of this state will unite with those
of other states in hurting Americas
reply to the German menace-by
pledging freely and conscientiously
to save for victory. Thriftology.

HARVEST HELP WILL BE
PROVIDED FOR FARMERS
However, Those in Need of Hands
Must Make Known Wants to E.
A. O'Dwyer at Once.

At a meeting of the Monett Com
mercial Club at the mayors office
Tuesday evening action was taken
in regard to providing harvest hands
for those farmers who find themselves
short of help in harvesting their
wheat crop, which is ripening fast and
soon must be cut.
While the attendance at the Com
mercial Club meeting was shamefully
small, the faithful few present made
preliminary arrangements to secure
the necessary assistance in harvesting
the bumper crop of wheat. 1t was
decided that Judge E. A. O'Dwyer
should handle the harvest labor prob
lem in much the same way that he
conducted the strawberry picker cam
paign. In other words, the CONNER
cial Club is ready and willing to fur
nish the harvest hands, but the farm
ers must do their part, which will
consist in at once notifying Judge
O'Dwyer, any member of the Com
mercial Club or The Times, giving
their exact needs. For instance, if a
farmer has so acres of wheat, let him
so state, also giving the number of
hands he will require, how much he
will pay, whether he is prepared to
house and feed the men, and all other
requisite information.
A number Of business men and
others have already/volunteered their
services, and as soon as proper
number of names of men willing to
work in the harvest fields can be Sc
cured they will be published in The
Times. The names of all farmers
needing help also will be published as
soon as application for hands is made.
The most vexing problem in the
matter of securing harvest hands is
that no standard wage has been fixed
by the farmers, and usually the first
question men ask is "How much will
they pay?"
In the judgment of the members of
the Commercial Club, the easiest So
luton of this problem would be for
the farmers who expect to hire help
to get together and agree upon uni
form price per hour or per day.
As wheat harvest has already be-
gun in some sections, no time is to be
lost in taking action if the wheat crop
is to be saved, and we urge every
farmer who will need hands to- tele-
phone his wants to Judge E. A.
O'Dwyer at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
Our citizens also are urged to vol
unteer their services if they can pos
sibly do so, as the wheat crop means
more to the country today than ever
before, and no patriotic citizen should
hesitate to do all in his power to win
the war. The wheat crop means
great deal more than the average
citizen realizes, sand every man who
can do so should send or telephone his
name and address to Judge E. A.
O'Dwyer at once-today.
