wanted to go to the Rhine and I want ed to go to Nice.
 l arrived here last night and today the dope is that the adjutant general issued orders that no more men are to go on leave, so maybe I will see the Rhine after all. BuBt after that the dope got around that the reason the adjutant issued the aforesaid orders was because we were going home, but one can hear almost anything in the army, so do not put much faith in this statement.
 We'll, Grace your brother has seen an awful lot since he has joined the army and believe me, 1 have learned more. 1 don't mean to be vain, but I am glad that was in the biggest war that the world has ever seen, and fur thermore, was in it for about as long as any of the rest of them. I was on the front for eight months, except one month which l spent in Nancy, and they bombed Nancy almost every night, so it was just about as danger ous there as at the front.
 l will know in a few hours whether l go on leave, to the front or. I hope it is on leave, because it is warm at Nice, and believe that a change in temperature would do me good
 We'll, Grace, 1 have a million things that l would like to tell you but it is almost bed time, so will have to close for this time.
 Your affectionate brother,
 Brice.

BRYCE CUMMINS WRITES
 LETTER FROM FRANCE
France, Nov. 17th, 1918,

France, Nov. 17th, 1918. Dear Sister:
 We'll, Grace, it seems that all good things come at once, at least it is happening that way to me.
 received five letters after arriving here last night, three from you, and two from mama. You were abso- lutely right in your prophecy
 Nov. 11th was the greatest day that ever was, or ever will be-and 1 was on the front when the last gun was fired l was in the town of Ecuroy; this town is a few kilometers north east of Dun sur Mouse, and 1 had rather been in that town, on that day, than any place in the world.
 At exactly eleven o'clock 1 walked out of the building l was in and to my ears came the strains of the Star Spangled Banner. Honestly, Grace, l received a thrill that nearly stunned me, and as I stood there at attention and salute, my first thoughts were of mother and all my home. l felt more like crying than anything else; in fact there were men there who did cry. You should have seen the poor French men, their emotion was uncomfort- able. They danced about like wild men, kissing and embracing each other.
 Our job was practically over that day, but we remained in that town until yesterday awaiting orders, final ly our orders came to accompany our regiment to the Rhine We were al most ready to start yesterday, when orders came in for me and another sergeant to report back here, and that we were going on leave to the city of Nice (Nce is on the Mediterranean So you see was between two fires.

SOUTHWESTERN DIVISION RED CROSS RUNNING BE-
 HIND IN THE CAMPAIGN

Duncan l.. McRae,
 Christmas Roll Call Chairman, Prescott, Ark.
 have sent the following telegram to chapter chairmen: Have just received the following telegram from division manager to Geo. w. Simmons, who is in Washing ton in conference with War Council: Am astonished and chagrined be- yond words to find our division run ming behind in enrolment when just this evening I assured MT. Davison as he left for Europe that southwest ern division would produce at least fifteen per cent of the grand total. For Heaven sake don't let our southwest ern division fail at this stage after leading ever since we started. Im- press every chapter filth absolute ne- cessity for ceaseless, intensive indi- vidual solicitation these remaining days and nights. Urge every team member to make clear Red Cross ob- ligation did not end with signing of armistice, and our job is not nearly finished. Surely we will not be humil- lated by having our boys overseas learn that we quit them cold while they are still overseas for us. Please ask every chapter to prove that south western division can arouse the loyal people in spite of the influenza or anything else"
 l have wired Mir. Simmons and the war council that they could depend on the southwestern division, and I now urge you to make good on this state ment. We have only three days left and am counting on your increasing the pressure throughout your organi- zation, and again proving to the na- tion that the southwestern division is one hundred per cent.
 J. L. Johnson, Chairman.
 The foregoing message was re- ceived by local Red Cross officials to- day. To date in Prescott 5S7 persons have shown their appreciation of the Red Cross and have answered the call of duty by joining this organization for 1919. The membership campaign closes on next Monday and those who desire to be numbered among those answering the Roll Call of Members for 1919 should immediately join lest they forget.

fairness to the small newspapermen
with . small circulation. and for
the purpose Of trying to be fair and
just. it has been customary in the
this county for years, and is true
in all counties, that the county com
missioners distribute this business,
which is considered by many news
paper men as political plums.
In 1917, the Marvin Monitor, the
Strandburg Tribune and one of the
Milbank papers were the official
county newspapers. When it came
to vote for the official newspapers
for 1918, the two newspapers out
side of the Milbank which were not
the official newspapers in 1917 were
chosen, and a Milbank paper was
chosen as the third official news
naper, which in substance means
That the three papers that were the
official papers Of 1917, we're not the
official named newspapers for 1918.
and in handling the matter this
way, each newspaper in the county
is treated alike and equally. except
that some years are better than
others.
] felt and still feel that notwithstand
ing the fact that there is only one
newspaper in the district in which
am commissioner. that being the
Marvin Monitor, that if this paper
is made an official newspaper every
other year. that it is being treated
with the same fairness that the Big
Stone Headlight, Strandburg Tri.
bune and Revillo Item are treated
and that it is all the treatment
that it is entitled to. and the other
newspapers are all satisfied with
the treatment which they have re-
ceived, not feeling that even
though they may have a larger
circulation than the Monitor that
they are entitled to any more con-
sideration. / have acted honestly
and fairly in this matter, bit feel
that Mr.. Mariner, merely because
he is the only newspaper man in
my district. feels that he should
be shown q preference over ans
newspaper in Grant county. Ac-
ton has been open and above
board to the best of my ability.

who saved the union Of states

Of hanksgiving,- thanksgivin
that our "eyes have seen the

of liberty which Lincoln's men
gave to the United States has
