Dear Dad:-


 Dear Dad:-
 We'll, Pa, I haven t heard from you for some time. Hope you haven't forgotten me. We are requested to send a letter to our father on Fathers Day, so I guess I had better start mine now.
 We'll, Pa, it's a great thing to know the war is over, and it has been rumored about camp that the camouf1age section is to sail for home in a couple of months. We'll, I wouldn't figure on it too close, as something may turn up in the meantime.
 I know one thing, we have lots of work ahead of us. We had a grand celebration here on the eleventh. The French people almost went wild. I guess there was lots of excitement in the States, too. The prisoners are coming in ev- cry day from Germany, and .yOu OIlOuId SCc t11C1Il. IL IS dl- most impossible for me to de- scribe them, but inclosed you will find news paper clipping and from that you can get a pretty fair idea. I have talked to many of them and all they had to eat was black bread and soup.
 It is now permissible to tell where you are and what you have been doing. I will go back to the beginning. We ar rived in Brest, France, Jan last, went to Dejon, almost on the Swiss Border. There we estab- lished 9 camoufage factory. remained in DeJon for a month After my month in DeJon I was detailed to Nancy and before go any farther, I must tell you something about Nancy.

ANOTHER VICTIM FOR D. C

As Charlie Larson proceeded to board Number 3 Tuesday night, for the East, by way of Phoenix, strange phenome- non was noted by many of his friends. Charlie acted rather nervous and continually turned and looked behind him. This nervousness on his part attract ed the attention of his friends who became curious. Altho the aparitiOn was not distinctly ob- served. it was the opinion of his many friends who compared notes after the train departed, that the strange actions of Charlie were caused by some thing striking him, and they all declared that they saw an indistinct little creature in an nearly nude condition, shooting darts at Charlie from a small bow.
 AS Williams is a dry town we wonder if Charities friends did not see truly. Time will tell.

VACATION
 FOR WINS. SCHOOL
On account of Spanish In-

On account of Spanish In- fluenza, vacation of six weeks was forced upon the Williams School early in the term. In order to help make up for this lost time, the School Board has decided to limit the Christmas vacation to Christmas Day with Thursday and Friday follow ing Christmas. There will be school on News Years Day.
 This arrangement is an ex- ceIlent one as it gives our full vacation during Christmas week and school the full follow ing week without interruption. This will help considerably in making up time and we hope no objection will be made to holding school on New Years Day. Some of the schools in the State are holding school one half day each Saturday to makeup time, but we hope to get through satisfactorily by shortening vacations and by close application to the most essential subjects in school. With the excellent cooperation, this year, of the patrons. we are making up time each day and if this cooperation contin- ues throughout the term the full time can easily be made up.
 Yours truly,
 T. H. Cureton,
 Principal.

WINS. AID
 FOR RELIEF IN BELGIUM

MrS. Luther OCOV0T
 Williams, Arizona
 My dear Mrs. Slower:
 I must send you more than formal acknowledgement for your splendid check of $1O6.O5, received from the Williams branch for Belgian Relief.
 With the splendid results which have come this past month, I am sure Mrs. Simes Ely will, in few months, feel that Arizona is able to have it's own independent organization. ] think it is amazing what you have done with the Influenza so prevalent.
 We have found such ready response from people who wish ito continue to aid in the reha- bilitation of these long suffer ing people, for so many realize that if they had not taken their firm stand, we as individuals would have to be financing the rebuilding of our own homes, therefore, we are glad of the privilege of assisting them, knowing that we have really had no suffering in the four years of the war compared to what they have endured.

 Cordially yours, | SARA D. HARKER, cc+ Coo Trooc

INTERESTING LETTER
 FROM FIRST LINE COOK


 Below appears in part the letter of one of the boys who helped to make short work of the Hun, to his sweetheart at home. There may be romance in finding a French or English bride but after all the Ameri- can soldier whom we admire most, is he who remains true to the American girl he left be- hind. This letter is from one of these true American boys. The only part omitted is the part which is strictly personal and which while in no wise lacking in interest, should be held too sacred for. the unsym- pathetic eye of the general pub lic.-
 Somewhere in Belgium My Darling Bertha:
 This is Monday night and the day we have all been looking for so long. You no doubt have more news of the war activities and peace than we have right here in the midst of it. It surely does sound good to us and now we will all be waiting for that day when we start home and then we can count the. days.
 "It seems like the war has ended just as it started, all in a day.
 ''Last night we were moving and our truck had stopped to wait for the rest of the train to get ready. I was sitting in the back of the truck trying to keep warm. It was about seven o'clock and Sunday evening and moonlight as could be- a perfect night for an air raid. 1 was wondering whether Fritz would come our way or not. Some kind of a signal, it looked like a star falling. went thru the sky and then about a dozen flash lights began to bomb the air and I thought to myself, here he comes for the evening service. @
 In about fifteen minutes a Frenchman came running out of building and says Gle geuI fni) meaning. the war is ininh- ed. Inside of five minutes the whole square was alive with soldiers from all Allies, all shooting pistols, rifles, flare pistols, sky rockets. anti-air craft guns and anything and everything that would make noise and light. I was a brave soldier and took to the cover of cellar for I didn' t want a stray bullet to hit me after the war was over.
 ''The celebration lasted for about two hours. It was better than we ever saw at seal beach in the way of fireworks and racket.
 ''The Frenchmen were hug ging each other and they didn't care who they slapped on the shoulder. They would come up and slap us on the shoulder and say Good American soldiers, and then "Partu America toat sweet" meaning, depart for America pretty soon." It sure ly was, a grand celebration.
 "The Belgians think there is no one like the American sol diers and they can have any, thing they want from the front room to sleep in, to the wood pile. In this place they moved out of their front room for us and brought in hay and mat tresses till we can't move. In last place they let us use all the wood we wanted without a word"

PAY YOUR PLEDGE
 WEEK DEC. 23-3O

Our brave boys nave Qe1eaC- ed the Hun, but the victory bought at so dear price is not yet secure. To make it secure those who pledged themselves to back up the boys with their 1 finances, must make good their pledges. It will take money to care for the boys needed in Flu rope to guarantee full restitu- tion by the Hun, and it will re- quire money to bring the boys back again.
 With one exception, Arizona has responded to every call for financial support of the govern ment, by exceeding her quota That one exception is in the War Savings DriveIn this, our state is tagging. Coconino now ranks second among the coun- ties of the state, but Coconino is still far behind in stamps ac- tually purchased.
 As one has expressed it, "It would be a distressing and ig- nominious thought, now that the boys are coming home from the front, to be concious in our heart of hearts, that we had not fulfilled the pledge we made to back them up."
 Next week is Pay Your Pledge Week. The county committee urges every one pledged to purchase stamps to lcome forward and redeem their pledges before the year closes In Grocery Department
