soldier and one from the Navy.
There are all nationalities of soldiers
here now. Say, am trying to raise
a mustache, and you wouldn't blame
me if you only knew how things were
up here. We have to boil all our
drinking water and then we have to
strain it. So you see by having a
mustache, we can save a strainer.
Cha ha). All the Yanks are doing
the same. We have mighty short
days of daylight here now, but we
don't keep banking hours, but keep
the lights burning nearly all the
time.
November 30th, Sunday. | will
try and finish my letter. Well the
sun has shone all day, the first sun
shiny day | can remember since Sep
tember fifth. went down to a picture
show. 1t was good, only the letters
were bottom side up. Cha ha.) They
say that was why America entered
the war, and I guess it was. Wei
will ring off. Good bye with love.

m--where | am, there was a
big celebration Monday, with many
parades and flags and music, while
France and America locked arms in
great joy over the glad tidings. My
French friends here had a big din
ner for myself and my comrade Ga
fellow fGom New York; and opened
Champagne and everything. The
French people in these small villages
are doing all in their power to make
the American boys feel at home, and
| must say that in my particular case
they are certainly succeeding. Every
thing (News) is so fresh that no
one knows how long it will be before
America will" start home", but need
less to say, / am perfectly satisfied
with the news that / will not have
to go back to the trenches, machine
gun bullets, high explosive shells, etc.
And what do you think? ! weighed
myself the other day ,and tipped the
scales at 153 pounds, just thirteen
pounds more than I ever weighed be-
fore. So you can be sure l am feel
ing fine.
| have received no mail as yet, but
| expect to go back to my company
in short time, and it ought to be
waiting for me.
Well | must quit and eat.
Vive La France
Vive La America
Vive La Peace.
With big bunch Of love to you all,
from your boy who is coming back

Rev. |. =. Bates entertained his son
Alva Bates and family of South
Haven and a grand daughter Miss
Leila Bates of Aurora, Illinois on
Christmas day.
Robert Martin Of Lawrence, well
known here, has received his dis
charge from Army service and is on
his way home from Camp Taylor,
South Carolina.
Sylvester Carpp and family of
Hartford were guests of Mr.. and Mrs
Clarence Brown on Christmas night.
They were enroute home from Bloom
ingdale where they had spent the
day.
Mr.. and Mrs. Charles +. Mather re-
ceived letter from their son Leo on
Monday. He is in a hospital in
France, but getting along nicely.
His letter did not state whether he
was there from illness or wounds.
This is the first word received from
him since the armistice was signed,
and naturally lifts a heavy load of
anxiety from the minds of his parents
Francis Shaefer of Detroit spent
the week end with relatives here
He went to Lansing, where on Christ
mas day he was married to Miss Mar
garet Tubbs Of that city. From there
the happy couple went to Detroit,
where they will commence housekeep-
ing at once. Francis is still in the
service of his country, but will
probably be mustered out soon. The
True Northerner joins his Paw Paw
friends in congratulations on the
happy Christmas event.
Last Saturday was volunteer day
for Red Cross memberships in Paw
Paw. The ladies having the matter
in charge report receipts of $4,000
for the day in the village The count
ry districts of the township have not
yet reported. Those who did not
have an opportunity to pay their
dollar on Saturday, may do so any
time this week, by calling at Cooley's
store. 1t is a patriotic duty of every
individual to retain their membership
in the Red Cross. Come across if
you have not already done so.

Letter from Private ID. G.. Pike Com
pany c. 129th, Infantry, Some
where in France, to his parents
Mr. .and Mrs. A. A. Pike The
letter was dated November 18th.

Dear Mother and Father Now
that the war is over, know you are
know whether l pulled through all
right or not. Well you see by this
letter that / did. l had the privilege
Of going up to front line trenches
with the celebrated d--Division
We would have been over the top in
another half hour, if we had been
given the opportunity. Just before
.11:00 o'clock on the 11th, shells were
bursting all around us, but we were
so darned cold that it took all of our
attention to keep warm. No time to
think of shot and shell. 1t was a
glorious sensation to experience when
the firing ceased. 1t was like storm
that had spent itself in the last blast
Of fury and then ceases suddenly.
Our company was very fortunate
however, and some of the other COM
panies were less lucky. 1t was very
evident that the Germans were just
as happy as we were that hostilities
had ceased. We reached the front
after a three days march, and / never
hope to be nearer all in than | was
right at that time. You know that
meals don't follow you up any too
fast when you are on the march.
However, everything possible was
done for us. realize fully what war
means to a country and its people.
| have slept in the open, in old build
ings where you couldn't sleep, and in
trenches. At present we are sleep
ing in old Jerry Dugouts on the side
of a small mountain. 1t is very COM
Portable and has tunnels running way
back into the hill. Across the valley
on the opposite hill, the ground looks
as though it had the small pox, the
way it is all pitted up.
Jerry certainly knew how to put
up the Dugouts etc; but he couldn't
hold them when the Yanks got after
him. We get our water here from a
valley where a big shell hit and the
hole filled up with water. Most all
the hills in France have a lot Of
Springs in them, and the water is
good to drink.
don't know when we will get
home, but l hope it is soon, so I can
get my old suit pressed up and put
it on. 1t will seem funny to wear a
white collar again. And Mother,
make me a pumpkin pie, an apple pie,
biscuits and all the good things you
can think of. I'd give a big dollar
right now for some ham and eggs.
Love to you all.

Extracts from Christmas letter
written by Sergeant Harry Miller
u. s. Infantry, to his father, VIM.
X. Miller of the Granley Farm.
The letter was written on NOvem-
Der 20th, from a hospital some
where in France. This is the
young hero who was awarded the
distinguished Service Medal for
gallantry on the field of battle, an
account of which was published in
these columns some weeks ago.
Ny dear Old Dad:-Our paper,
"The Stars and Stripes" is urging all
the Yanks to write to their first C. o.
Commanding Oficer) a sort of
Christmas Victory Letter so here
goes mine:-
But what will l write? Tell you
the show is over, and tomorrow /
shall be discharged from the hospital,
as fit as ever Maybe not as tough
and hard as ever, for two months of
hospital takes a lot of that out of a
man. But the big thing is, here l
am as well as ever. No more
anxiety for the folks at home.
1t is hardly six months since we
landed in France. For two months
all was serene enough, except what
the Jerry Bombers could get at night
with the help of native spies. Some
times we caught them, but generally
not. But the last four months or up
to October was generally entirely
given up to Duclling Jerry's Iron,
which came over in many forms. L
don't suppose, "Kemmell", "Ypres,"
"Reninghetst," Popperinge", esteem
worde etc means anything to you, but
they will always bring memories to
me of the summers work.
But our big work did not come
until September and October. The
English having met with good success
further south, were finally brought
up to dead stop, by the "Hinden-
burg Line" That's a name you do
know. | have been told that they
made nine attempts to break through
between Cambria and st. Quentin,
(Also names you know. In the
two of Americas finest
volunteer divisions were brought down
out of the mud of Flanders, given a
couple of weeks of hurried training
in open warfare and thrown into the
line, the strongest, best defended
trench system in existence. A break
through at this place meant the fall
of both Cambria and st. Quentin and
finally the whole line, so you can
imagine how desperately the enemy
would defend these positions.
On September Goth, at six o'clock
in the morning, we went Over.
On October 4th, both cities fell, and
on the goth, we were twenty miles
nearer Berlin, having also gone
through Siegfried and the Krunn-
kielde line. But it cost the states
those two divisions. / know compan-
les who were still advancing with six
men left out of $50. One lad in this
ward fought until the 18th and left
nine men, all that was left of that
company. / only lasted the first day.
/ have the fighting map of this
part of the line, showing every foot
of trench, every stretch of barbed
wire, dugouts and most of the Trench
Mortars and machine guns positions.
II. will be one of the most treasured
souvenirs of this little game.

Portions of letter from Private John
E. Raymond, Co. c. 310th, Engin
GERS, A. n. X. f. f. Archangel
Russia, to his parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. James Raymond of Paw Paw.
The letter was dated October Both.

On September third, | saw snow on

landed on September fifth. | am
keeping a diary of what | do and
what happens every day. 1t will be
interesting when | get home you

thing. / have thought | would go
up and get some pictures taken, but

rather get some souvenirs to send you
but the next thing would you get
them? They have some of the nice

almost afraid to take a chance on
sending them.
They sent back the other day

vice. | would rather stay here if it
takes four years than to go back
with some disease or be wounded so

1t would cost you $4.O0 for one meal

you would get horse meat.
Now Mother, don't worry about me,
if you don't hear very often because
we may be frozen in at any time, and
/ I think the only way mail can get
in and out is by ship. So it may not
be possible for me to get letters to

The following extracts were taken
from a letter from Private II. l..
Wheaton, Co. c. 102nd, Infantry,
Somewhere in France to his father
Nj. C.. Wheaton and sisters here.
Private Wheaton was wounded dur
ing the Big Drive, but is recover
ing rapidly. The letter was writ
ten November 18th.
No doubt when you receive this,
you will have read all about the
great news, and you can imagine the
feelings of the boys over here when
we received the wire, that the armis-
tice had been signed. No doubt by
the time this reaches you, peace will
be signed and the big show will be
over, except a few Curtain Speech
es" etc. etc. OF course it is impos-
sible to put down on paper, how
happy I am that / KNOW for SURE
that some time in the near future,
will be home again, and whole man.
NV hat is off forever, to the poor
fellows that are minus parts,-arms,
legs, etc. and to the folks of the
boys who will never come back.

Tomson of the state College extension

riding the water table in the soil Is
low enough. II takes less power to
fill and the silago does not freeze
readily. The semi pit silo is used in
few places where it is necessary to put
the silo on the hill side. The silo
above the ground may be constructed
of wooden slaves, concrete, tile, or

vantage that 1t can be moved but II

Eureka.
Answer: Scaly leg is caused by
small microbes, or germs getting under
the scales of the hens legs and living
there. A had case will almost cripple
Il hen and curtail her laying. While
many recommend rubbing the legs
with a mixture Of lard and kerosene, I
prefer a somewhat sterner method. Dip
the fowls legs in straight kerosene
and hold them there a couple Of min
utes. time enough TO give the kerosene
opportunity to soak into the inter
stces beween the scales. II the legs
are held in the kerosene too long 1t Is
liable to blister the legs. One appli-
cation is generally sufficient, but il it
does not cure. repeat at intervals OF a
week or SO until the scale all disap.
