Auto Struck Deer.

A belated real up-to-the-min-
ute live nature story has bobbed
up and it is so good, and unusual,
that the tale is told tersely.
Ten days ago Rev. George Wat
ers and party were returning
from Three Lakes where the
reverend gentleman had been
holding services in that village,
and when a short distance west
of the Evergreen school house
struck a deer-that is the deer
struck the car head-on and from
the amount of hair left on the
running board struck it hard.
the rear fender was badly bent
and the imprint of the deer's
head-on blow could be seen very
plainly. Now the Rev. George is
absolutely truthful, likewise the
members of his party, hence the
story cannot be doubted. The
car failed to stop and investigate
but the evidence left on the run
ming board was enoughto verify
the story.

My dear Mr.. Menefee:-The BOYS
are making merry in the X. c. Audi
forum and | joined them. While
they are enjoying the player piano |
will pen you a few lines.
1t took me some time to get oriented
when | came back to my old company.
Found a number of new faces and
nearly all the old men are scattered to
the four winds. butcher is still here
and he is drilling rockies in the Com
pany next door. l am still Ser
geant and learning very fast how to
bark. Am doing some drilling mye
self. We expect large number of
men the latter part of this month, so
will be busy then.
Pemberton is still here and | told
him that you were waiting for a
write up from him but he said that
was not in his line.
The government is employing a
great deal of discipline lately. But
my message to the Villas county
people is to write to the boys as
much as they can and give them all
the news about their home friends. A
great many things happen in the
home town that the casual look
er-on thinks unimportant. But write
that in letter and it means a great
deal to the man who leaves his home
town to answer the call of his coun-
try.
/ have seen men go to the mail box
day after day-yes, week after week
and not word of cheer did they re-
ceive 1t is pity. One could read
on their very faces, the expression as
they walked away. ooh! well, nobody
cares" This effects mans efficiency.
The writing of letter may seem
an unimportant necessity. But that
is also one thing which is going to
help win the war. A cheerful letter
bespeaks confidence in what the SOL
der is doing. 1t increases the morale
and makes man play the game hard
for all it is worth. Those not able to
90 across must cheer and back up
the men from the side lines. Th at is
going to be the big thing which will
help drive the big push home.
Think it over; don't wait until
your last letter is ans wered. Start
follow up letter. They bring results
and the world will be safe for democ-
racy.
Best regards to all.
Yours truly,
John l.. Bumbalek.

Hest Way TO Sell the Farm.

You want to sell your farm? Let
me tell you how 20 go at 1t.
First, go out in tho road and imagine
you are wanting TO purchase this par
ticular farm. look at it with the buy
cr's eye see how the bushes have
grown UP in the fence corners; how
dingy the house looks: how badly 1t
needs rcpainting. Notice how bare the
pasture looks. ana see how the hills
are washed.
The orchard needs trimming badly;
and that line Of fence surely is in bad
shape. The hen house roof is looking
bad. too: ia fact. the whole farm is
run down.
OF course those bushes will have to
be Erubbcd; the house painted; that
pasture Will have TO he resccded and
those washes filled: the orchard must
be trimmed. the fence mendcd. and
the roof fixed. No one would want
such a looking farm.
And by the time all this is done
you'll need Il rest. Go out in the road.
and take another look at the farm;
and no doubt you'll want TO keep il
yourself it will look so good to you
