WHAT is HAPPENING IN
CAMP AND FIELD.
- - "a ~ - - "a

The following Jackie letter is
from First Lieut.. Hugh CARVE, now
in the aviation service in France. II
is written to James Carlson. Some
where in France, Feb. l5.-lt has
been raining all day and you know
more rain means more rest in the
flying game. We have been having
excellent weather here lately and so
rain is quite welcome
! am getting pretty far along
with my flying now The system
here is to start out with slow speed
machine and as one improves. he is
given a faster machine am now on
the fourth type which is surely fast
and there are few that go faster.
These machines are surely fine to
operate as they are easily handled
and will do anything imaginable.
one certainly gets the real sensation
of flying.
The only danger is the landing
The plane shoots down so rapidly that |
II any obstruction were in the way or
if the ground is a little rough, the
machine is liable to turn over After
a person is thru training, he can fig
ure that he knows a little about fly
ing as the actrobatic stunts certainly
do make one keep his head. There
are five other Kansas men here, four
of them being from the Kansas Uni
yersity
, f. Kirkland, formerly of Salina, is
now q lieutenant in the aviation He $
came some time before | did and so is {
q little farther along in training. ]
heard that Roy Carver will soon be !
on his way over here France is a !
delightful place and | like it. But $
when 1t come to living any place give J
me good old Kansas The people are e
so far behind over here. they even '
do everything by hand They GER p
tainly take their time in doing it too.
If a Frenchman has his way he will
work two hours, then have a smoke,
take tea and then rest. Z
There are some mighty good look c
ing girls over here if you prefer the !
brunettes, but if you are strong for "
the blondes, you are out of luck. ,
Everything over here is out of sight n
as we pay nearly double for every ,
thing.

lions. You become constipated. The
food you eat ferments in your
stomach instead Of digesting. This
inlames the stomach and causes
nausea, vomiting and a terrible
headache. Take Chamberlain 8
Tablets. They will tone up your
liver. clean out your stomach and
YOU will soon be as well as ever.

month ago while engaged in this
work on Mr.. Thayer's farm. The
men worked like trojans and by
night had something like seventy
five ranks of wood piled up. Il

There is a woman in Atchison who
is the wife of one OF Atchison's most
prominent business men. She has
family of grown children and because
of her prestige ana her standing as
woman she is very diginitied and
proper. She is very intensely patriot
tic and has been an unceasing war
worker. During Christmas time she
sent package to a soldier boy whose
name was given her by the commit
tee which had this work in charge.
Her name was on the package, and
the soldier boy evidently thought she
was some flip of a young thing who
wanted to strike up an acquaintance.
This is what he wrote in acknow-
Judgement of the Christmas gift;
thank you immensely for the Christ
mas box which you so kindly sent me.
I tell you, kid, if you come down here
to Camp Funston I'll sure show you
a good time"
Another Atchison woman, also very
dignified. received a letter from
soldier boy under similar circum-
stances. In it he enclosed his pic
ture. upon the back of which was
written. "I amt much on looks, kid
but sure can love. "-Atchison
