 U. s. Naval Aviation Force,
 Somewhere in France,
 April 1918.
 My Dear Aunt Lizzie Have spent a good part of the afternoon when not otherwise engaged in putting to right and experimenting repairs to an old French chateau which the officers here have leased for quarters, in writ the commanding officer under whom was detailed for over five months, before coming over here.
 This is a beautiful country. Peach, pear. plum and apple blossoms are about done. There are a few palms here, but acres and acres of vine- yards, with women and children work ing in them. Occasionally one sees an old man or a crippled young man at work, but the war has called every able bodied man.
 I am several hundred miles from the front, but know considerable of what is going on there.
 Of course you understand that cannot write anything of a military nature, of what I am doing or even where I am, Fbut I am enclosing you an addressed envelope in case you have time and would be so kind as to write me a line. You have but te affix a 2 cent postage stamp. You sec that I do not have to do even that and even censcr by own mail I arrived March g. after a fifteer days trip. When am coming home? No one can tell. Remember me to such as may cart to hear about me.
 Affectionately, EVERETT, SIR.

ming 5000 pounds of sugar was used
The amount used for canning this
time of year is usually at least equal
to the amount used for other pur-
poses, according to figures recently
compiled by the food administration.
The reason for the shortage in
canning products is said to be that
when fruits and berries were cheap,
sugar was not released to grocers, so
that householders could use it for
canning. Now when the sugar is re-
leased, fruit costs so much that it is
almost impossible for ordinary
householders to buy it in sufficient
quantities for canning, it is said.

HOUSE VOTES WAR
TAXES ON PEOPLE
IN RECORD TIME
Revenue Schedules Adopted
4 at Rate of $37,9O9,O0O
" Minute

Washington, Sept. 19.-The House
imposed taxation upon the people of
the United States to the aggregate
extent of 81, 900 within two
hours time yesterday. This was at
the approximate rate of $37,909, 900
minute, and is the fastest record
ever made by either branch of Con-
gress in the direction of revenue
raising.
Included in the big items approved
during the two hours of record
breaking performance were:
$4,000, 100000 from the excess
profits tax
S110,000.0O0 from the estate tax.
164,000,000 from taxes on trans
portation, freight, express, seats and
berths.
S16,OOO.OOO from pipe lines, tele-
phones and telegraph messages.
S12,000,000 from insurance.
Feverish' expedition was manifest
ed in connection with consideration
of the big revenue measure. The
clerks forged ahead at every oppor-
tunity and the first reading of the bill
virtually was completed before ad-
journment last night. Chairman Kit
chin and other leaders confidently
predict that the bill will be passed
not later than tomorrow afternoon.
Every effort will be made toward ac-
complishing that result.
The fight on cotton, steel products
and other combatted features not in
the bill will come to-day. The para
graph levying a ten per cent. tax on
tapestries and textiles for furniture
coverings or hanging in the interior
decoration of buildings" will be the
first peg on which to hang tax on
cotton.
Moore StirS Southern Ire
Mr.. Moore. of Pennsylvania, will
propose a tax of three dollars per
bale on all cotton used in the manu-
facture of these tapestries and tex
tiles. If successful he will offer the
same amendment as applicable to
bathing suits, hunting garments and
all articles of clothing appearing in
the bill.
The explosion of a hornets nest
would not have occasioned more eN-
element than Mr.. Moores announce
ment. Members from the Southern
states poured into the hall in readi-
ness to stem the threatened tide.
Some shouted for immediate action.
One cried that nothing must be
left hanging over that will hammer
down the cotton market further"
The business, or occupational Ii
cense tax of SO proved a stumbling
block, because of confusion over it's
application, and it was determined
to consider having the section re-
drafted to-day Representative Rob
