The light fall of snow Sunday morn
ing served one purpose at least-lt
sent the hearts of the kiddies bound
ing and their hopes soaring as visions
of snow balls, snow forts, fox-and-
geese-and Santa Claus with his rein
deer-yes, many delightful vision
played in their imaginations. But un-
less Mother Huldah shakes her feath-
err bed a little more vigorously their
hopes must fall.
One of the big stories being told
these days is to the effect that when
peace is finally declared it will take
two years to bring our soldiers back
to this country. Army officers are
credited with saying with the shortage
of ships it will require that length of
time to transport them. While this
particular reporter has no authentic
information on the subject, he is con-
fident this is just wild talk. In less
than year after hostilities have end
ed, all the American soldiers will be
back home with the possible exception
of force of regulars kept there for
the purpose of enforcing the terms of
peace.

since about July 1st and we have had
a number of letters from him since
his arrival overseas. Alvin is anxious
to go, but too young, although he has
the size and physical development of
the average man of 10 or 20. When
he came to Washington and sought to
get some work it was necessary to get |
a permit from the school authorities
on account of his age, at that time less
than Is, and to get this he had to be
examined by the school physician.
When | brought him up to the doctor
and he stood about two inches taller
than the doctor himself, the latter
turned to me with smile and said: 1T
is joke to call fellow like this
child
AL Leggitt is getting mighty tired
of patching, and has been writing let
tiers to his wife at The Dalles, Ore,
her to return before he
wastes away to a shadow. 1t is said
