Dear Mother:
| now sit down to write you a few
lines to let you know that am we'll
and hope these few lines will find
you the same. We just got our bar
rack bags with our extra clothing in
them. There were twenty-five men
went last week and got back yester-
day with twenty trucks and five
twin cars and the cars were all
loaded with our things, such as
shoes, barrack bags and other
freight. There was quite a string of
trucks and autos that went by yes
terday afternoon. 1t rained here
last night and was on guard. |
walked my post three and one-half
hours, it was from l o'clock this
morning until 4:30, and from $3.50
until 4:3O. 1t rained hard and | was
out in the most of it. Charlie has
got good job now. He is orderly
for an officer. We have sixteen
horses and two mules, making eigh-
teen head in all.
We are having pretty good time
over here after all. If the people do
not understand what we say, al
though they are pretty good and try
to help US out and make it as COM
Portable for us as possible, and try
to make US understand them. When
we go into store to buy anything
they understand pretty we'll what we
want. There is one thing the reason
that do not like over here, and that
is, the water, it has to be boiled be-
fore drinking, because it is not pure.
1t tastes of lime. | do not see why
it should taste so. We eat out of
doors in mess kits that are issued to
each one of us. They have got field
ranges, that they cook over. | had
rather eat out doors than in barracks
at this time of the year, it is so much
pleasanter. Well | guess | will go
and get some gravel with one of the
cooks this afternoon, for one of the
messes to make some cement with,
to set stove on, and think it will
be for the sergeant's mess because
they have to feed so many in the
huts days that it makes it hard for
cooks. They feed some of the 301st
and 302nd infantry and some of the
M. G. B. of the same number and
that amounts to about 100 extra for
the two cooks, so they thought they
would divide them up and have the
first-class sergeants have a mess by
themselves to make it easier for the
troop cooks.
We had truck and went after
some clay today and on the way
back we saw wild boar that was
near a.camp of engineers of the for
est, called lumber Jacks, where they
are cutting Lumber. Well | don't
think of any more this time so | will
close, hoping to hear from you some
time, so good bye, from your loving
son, Lewis L. Phillips,
Headquarters Troop, 76 Division.

The Express and Standard flags
the new city Of Newport for not
nominating Frank C. Williams as
the Republican candidate for repre-
sentative. Editor Hildreth is
master hand in the use of sarcasm
and this last effort was certainly
done brown" Newport may have
made a great mistake in thus turn
ing down Frank C. Williams. time
alone with its unfolded book of mys-
teries, can tell. However, there is
plenty of evidence that Newport
honors and respects its esteemed
citizen, Frank C. Williams, and that
turning him down is not evidence
they did not love him, but they loved
the "other fellow" more.

CONSERVING THE HEN

To the other food restrictions there has been added the chickenleSS day The order unlike all the other re- Strictons, without advance notice or hint. It will work no special hardship to abstain from the meat of this fowl for period of ten weeks and the prohibition will enable housewives to secure at reasonable price all the eggs they need to put down in glass for next winter Under this plan the double purpose of conserving eggs and of saving in the cost of food would be achieved
 Prohibition of traffic in the universally favorte fowl is another object lesson for the American people It is teaching them how precious and how scarce food s and how necessary is to conserve all foods We just be- ginning conserve food Restrictions certain to be added and is duty to observe them strictly without complaint If food is to win the war-and no one doubts it-Americas duty is supreme. We have the food and we must save it for our allies who have not enough who already feel the pinch of hunger and unless help them will Starve
