But write me every time you feel like it. We'll, I will close as a friend is waiting to take this ashore to mail. so bye, bye

A SAILOR BOYS LETTER
Hunter Boy on President Wilson Steamer, Writes
 Interesting Letter

w ashington, D. C., March I, IS Wm. B. Folsom,
 Brinkley, Ark.
 Dear ARGUS Man:
 Many thanks for your letter, I thank you very much for it. I guess the ARGUS readers will be glad to hear from a Sailor" from Hunter. The Patomac river has been filled with ice but in the last few days the weather has been very nice and the ice has cleared away. Sever al ships were wrecked by the ice; small tug boats and two of the lake steamers have been ice bound for over four weeks, tho they have been under operation for four or five days.
 Last night we had a light snow it turned real warm and now the snow is gone.
 Since I have been aboard the presidential watch, "Mayfower' I have made good with my off, cers, or at least they have al- ways got a job for me on their cars, and of course am always anxious to work on them as l get lots of useful experience in gasoline work. Will tell you of an accident. l went out in town with Mir. c. T. Osburns (Captain) car. In Washington we have stop and go signals at every street corner. made of green and red lights. I stopped for clearance of the street when a party on motor cycle hit Mir. Osburns car at the rear left wheel, breaking the chauffeur's arm. We were sorry of the accident but it was the fault of the other party. No damages to either motor cycle or car.
 We are very careful what we eat now. Most all canned goods going to stations are looked oyer and lots of ground glass has been found in canned beef and bread. Several boys at Norfolk Training Station have died from glass, one hundred reported in hospital to-day under serious conditions. It is getting to be a harder fight here than over there, the death rate is as large.
 I wish all the farmers splendid success in their crops this year. Good crops will help win the war. I hope that every true hearted American will yield to call for more wheat and corn. and that the miners and ship yard workers will lend 9 patriotic hand and help in this battle. Just last week we had a ship yard strike in New York. but they have resumed work again.
 With sincere wishes to all
 Very truly,
 VIM. N. BELK.
 P. S.-I receive some very in- teresting letters from friends of mine in Hunter and l wish to thank them very much for them. Would like to read the ARGUS some, too. once a month or oftener. w. N. 5.

INTERESTING LETTER
 FROM CALIFORNIA
Ex.Brinkleyite Who Writes of Happenings in the
 Golden State.


 Golden State.
 Redlards, Calif., Feb. 26, 1918 Editor Wm. B. Folsom,
 Brinkley, Ark. Dear Sir:
 The who's who" and the what's what" the editorials and letters of the ARGUS of the l 18th inst. has been received and read with much relish. note you have a goodly number of l candidaten enrolled with you. l won't say, May their number increase" for I think, surely. the voters can select some good men for The various offices, from those offering. And I, too, want to pull off my hat to the young men composing the Young Men's Business Association of Brinkley. We may expect to see things being done by these young pushers.
 In a recent issue you gave the account of the death and burial of old Bro. T. H. Howard, a Faithful old soldier of the cross. Well do I remember him and his good wife as hosts when in the summer of 1879. Mir. B. P. McCreight and I stopped there while at work on MT. Nc Creight's house.
 We'll you may want to know about our weather. For the last week we have been having showers which are causing the people to rejoice, for all South ern California was very dry mot an inch of rain had failed for months and months. We have the rain in the valleys and snow on the mountains.
 During a part of thls week and last the eighth annual orange show is being held at our near by city. San Bernardino. was over one afternoon and spent two or three hours under the mammoth tent viewing the many attractions on exhibition there.

 During the last few months l have picked oranges and have earned to prune both the appel Rnd orange trees, and here in California they are profitable employment when one gets to be proficient in them.
 And here, I wish to offer a ittle message especially, to the young soldier boys who read the ARGUS. My attention has re- (ently been called to the profani- y used by many boys and young hen.

ENLISTMENTS SHOW
PATRIOTISM OF JEW
Giving Splendid Account of
Himself at Present,

Washington, ID. C.--The American
Jew today is giving a splendid account
OF himself in the war Official sta :
tistics of the war department and fig
| ures from relief and welfare workers
bear out the statement.
Speaking before large gathering
or soldiers. sailors. and the congrega
ton Of the Adath Israel temple. sixth
/ and ! streets northwest, II. b. Harto-
gensis of Baltimore lauded the patriot
ism. Of the American Jew. and read
statistics substantiating his claim that
the Jew Is giving good account of
himself In the war against autocracy.
Regular army figures publish in
January. 1916. showed an enrolment
of 64144 men, including 374 Jews: also
that in the navy there were S44 Jews
making a ratio of per cent and over"
said Mr.. Hartogensis.
"A conservative estimate of the men
now In service between 100000 and
100000, is that 10 or II per cent are
Jews. Welfare and relief workers with
ample opportunity for observation have
given me these figures.
"Dr. Morris Spear, a tireless worker
at Camp Meade, reports s 900 Jews In a
body OF $4,000 men. ! have learned
that there are today in France 10000
American Jewish soldiers.
'"Other patriots are men of the julius
Rosenwald type, who give their high
priced services as purchasing agents
gratis, while Jacob Schiff and others
have declared it sinful and nnpatriotic
to make single cent of profit during
the war" he concluded.

Albright-Carney

Somerville people are interested In a
wedding which took place at Hotel
Chisca last week when Miss Lucy
Carney of this city became the wife of
Vance c. Albright, who is in the Gov
ernment service with headquarters in
Memphis.
The bride was reared here and has
lived here all her life. For a number
OF years she has been Deputy County
Register here, the late Junius Hobson
having succeeded in getting thru the
legislature law permitting the appoint
ment of lady Deputy Register In
the state, for the specific purpose of
naming her as his deputy. She had
then been in Mr.. Hobson's office for
several years and so efficient had she
become that it was bis desire to re-
ward her in this way. She has contin-
ued in the same capacity under the ad-
ministration of the present Register and
her services have been uniformly
satisfactoryand pleasing toher employer
and the public who have dealings with
the Registers Office. and whoever may
take her place. no more popular Deputy
nor more efficient one will be found. She,
has always been active in church and
social matters and has been a liberia
supporter Of all worthy causes here.
The groom is the Oldest son of DIR.
ana Mrs. j. A. Albright of this city
and has lived here all Of his life. He
received his education at the local pub
lie school and some years ago went to
Washington where he accepted a Gov
ernment position as the patronage of
Congressman K D, McKeller. holding
the position until last year when he
was appointed to his present position in
the Income Tax Department of the
Government service.
While The Falcon is not positively
informed as to the future plans of the
happy couple. we understand that it is
expected tney will soon go to Washing
ton where they will make their home.
They have the best wishes Uf many
friends here. wherever their lot is cast.

EVERY IDLE ACRE is NEEDED
Many Patches Of Low Ground Too Wet
to Be Used Can Be Made Pro-
ductive by Drainage.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture)
Just at present, when the world is
engaged in the most gigantic struggle
in its history, the forces Of democracy
against those Of autocracy, the prod
uct Of every idle acre that can be
made productive is needed. Nearly
every farm has some portion of 1t
that is either not used at all or is
used in such way as to produce very
little. On many farms there are
patches Of low ground which cannot be
TILED because they are too wet. Usual
ly when drained these wet areas are
the richest land on the farm.
This is an excellent time to put them
into use. Small patches of wet land
can be drained at small expense. Be
tween now and the opening up Of
spring work there is ample time to do
the work. This year the farmer has
been able to sell his products at fair
price and has the money with which to
buy the tile. Every farmer, part of
whose farm Is unproductive because 1t
needs drainage. should take advantage
of the present opportunity to add to
his cropping area by supplying the
necessary drainage. These lands viii
produce more than average farm lands.
Every product will help to win the war.
