ASSOCIATION COWS
MAKE GOOD RECORD

The value of COW testing associa-
tions, one of which was recently form
ed in Medina county and is meeting
with very satisfactory results, may be
seen by the following national data of
the records made by association COWS /:
There were last year 472 cow-testing
associations in the United States, and
monthly records were kept for 216,831
cows, or about 1 per cent of all the
dairy cows in this country. The cows
in the associations whose records have
been tabulated averaged 247 pounds
of butterfat, or about so per cent more
than the average production of all the
dairy COWS in the United States.
If all the dairy cows in the country
could be brought up to the average Of
the cow-testing associations, produc-
ton would be increased so per cent. in
quantity and the cost of production
would be considerably reduced.

FROM "OvER THERE"

The following cheerful letter was
received last week by Mr.. and Mrs.
w. F. Funk from their son, Sheldon,
who is serving as cook in the 32d In
fantry, A. E. F., in France:
Dear Folks:
Just few words to tell you that I
am still living and long time from
dead. Never felt any better in my
life and by the looks of things will
probably take dinner with you one of
these fine days. Don't know just what
day it will be, so will ask you not to
90 to any bother, because we are feed
ing pretty well and won't be very
hungry.
Just have bed ready, as I am go
ing to play Rip Van Wrinkle for a
while, but you can tell Stanley to
have another waiter, because I might
want sandwich and a cup of coffee
now and then.
I received a card from Dudley
Berger yesterday. He is over here
someplace, too.
Dad the wheat crop is exceptionally
good here, but they don't seem to
know what corn is. I have only seen
two pigs since I landed.
Mother, the women, who wear their
corsets on the outside, do all the
harvesting by hand, without the aid Of
modern machinery, but I did see a
Walter A. Wood moving machine and
guess they didn't know how to use
that, because it was sitting in the
shed while they were doing work that
could have been done with it.
They don't drink water here-every.
thing is cider-so hard that you car
break it, or wine of some kind. They
grow a crop here that looks like g
crop of rag weed, and another that
looks like over-grown cabbage-about
3 feet high, that in some way they
get the juice out of it and drink it.
But would rather have a drink like
Stanley and stole off Of the Russian
peddler that stayed with us about IL
years ago-the good old apple jack
ha, ha.
Well, getting back to business as
near as possible, how is business? If
it keeps up with me, will retire soon.
Am getting independent now and if

with no ights). Hundreds of patients,
waiting to be operated upon. WE were
the first nurses there. The orderlies
and doctors had been up for three
days and nights without sleep. That
was really my worst night. I had
three long tents with, fifty-six badly
wounded men and every "glimmer'
had to be extinguished for about ten
minutes. It was freezing cold
there was so much suf-
fering. I could never tell you how
many boots and socks / cut off and
how many miles I walked up and down
those tents.
This is the life, but do you know I
have loved every minute. We have
been so busy and you feel that you
can do so much. 1t has been a mar
velous experience which I shall never
forget. Those hundreds and hundreds
of wounded boys and their patience
and thoughtfulness and courage. One
of them told me that if he ever got
well enough to write home he would
tell everybody to give to the Red
Cross, and I say the same. I only
wish the people at home could see for
themselves the things I have seen the
last few days. They would give un-
til they hadn't cent left.
Of course you are all thrilled over
the offensive. You probably know
more about it than we do, for here at
the front one knows nothing. I feel
as though I had lived through it all,
however, as all of the boys are infan-
try and machine gunners and many Of
them the famous marines. Quite often
we get them the very same day they
have been over the top, so we hear a
good deal about it.
Goodbye, dearest family, and believe
me I am happy and contented, though
not exactly hygenic or comfortable.

The much-needed rain and the much

the same day, and the rain was PER-
Feet SUCCESS. Only one out of
every ten invited to the party, braved
the threatening skies and "skiddy"
roads. That one seemed to enjoy the
dampness, along with a good speech,
good music by those irresponsible

something which the nine WHO STAY

More About Nurses
Speaking of nurses. letter from
France, written by a girl friend who
sailed late in July to act as a nurses
aide, paying her own expensive ex-
penses for the privilege of serving her
country in its hour of need, helps to
emphasize the pressing need of woman
power over there:
At the Front with the A. E. F., July
23.-I don't know how l can ever tell
you about the things I have been iv-
ing through during the last few days,
or describe to you in any way what I
have been doing. You could never
believe it and know that can never
really tell it. I feel as though were
living in some sort Of a terrible night
mare and the only thing that really
stands out vividly in my mind is the
ceaseless roar Of canton after canton
as they come in loaded with supplies
and wounded and go out taking the
evacuated ones away. Of course, you
want to know how it all happened.
