My mother is very sick and from
worriment insane. Won't you please
help me and try to make investiga-

the house because he cannot see. His
eyesight gets worse day by day. If
I am not asking little too much, to
answer me if you could only help to
send my only brother back to me and
my mother. He always, since I was
small, remember gave money to
my mamma, because my father never
gives her any money. To this very
doy my mother has hardly anything
to wear excepting a few things
which she has he gave her money
to buy before he went away here

heart that he had never good friend

If this great favor can be done
I'd be the happiest little girl in the
world and be saticfied to live in pow

He ha da good position in a telegram

when he was small the doctors told

Dear Mother and All:
As I have not written to you for a
few days I will do so now while I
have time. We do not have as much
time off here as we did in the States,
and everything is new so neglected
writing before. We have moved since
/ wrote the other letter: and are now
quartered in barracks. They are not
as nice as the ones on that side but
answer the purpose very well. Have
been here about q week and have
been working since Monday. Have
not got any mules here but have been
out working on the railroad.
We moved about 100 miles, SO saw
q little Of the country. It is very
pretty through here and the pastures
and meadows are very good The
wheat was ripe and everybody SEEM

grain binders but the rest was being

evening when we were in formation,

me here. and I'll say that I was
certainly glad to meet them.
I got a letter from May yesterday
that was transferred from Camp
Stuart. 1t was written July 11th., so
it did not take so long as it probably
laid at Camp Stuart a few days.
Gen. was on tour of inspec-
ton and I got to see him. He gave a
short talk which was very good. He
told us what he expected of us and
praised the boys for what they have
done already.
Well, mother, l do not know of
any thing else to write about now.

getting along splendidly SO do not

a Fine Trip.
Sayre, Penn, s-14, 1918.

,Seeessv
Friend Lahman:
4 Expect to leave here this week on
the return trip and expect after
starting to be in Eagle Grove-in at
least six days. Will run from 10 to
Il hours day. The return trip will
be shorter than the trip out as we
will go more direct. We will go
from here to Buffalo then to Cleve-
land and then we will strike the
Lincoln Highway at Goshen, Indiana.
Will not go through Chicago as we
loose too much time.
The roads which are most direct
in this country are state roads, built
Of brick, cement, crushed gray rock
or limestone or Of fine rock and asph-
alt mixed. They are built wide en-
ough for cars to pass nicely at most
any speed and say, you meet some
speedy ones too. This is very billy
country but the hills are under Gull
tivation. They raise lots Of oats,
corn, potatoes, buskwheat, and an
abundance of fruit such as apples,
and plums. Northern Ohio has an
enormous crop Of grapes hundreds
of acres in vineyards and great
clusters Of grapes on the vines.
On our way east we bought a half
bushel basket Of peaches for $1.OO.
They were small, but Of the most
delicious flavor. Had we been going
home we could have laid in supply
for canning.
See q train or two of soldiers
going through here every day. A
bunch Of two trains this morning.
A band of 40 pieces and the other
had go. Say boy, but those fellows
could play and they were all on the
job. They got off the train here
for feed and swim in the Sus-
quehana river and good stiff drill
for q few minutes and then away
they went east.
These eastern roads are doing an
enormous business, trains leaving
here every half hour to one hour
Trains Of 80 to ITO cars loaded
very large power and lots of it.
It is raining today and am put
ting in my time writing. Have
others to remember, so will close and
see you next week.
Best wishes,
w. H. Halsey.

Plans For : Contest

To All Chairmen Of Women's Com:
The Food Administration is max
ing plans to put on Z contest to dis
cover the .Best WayAto Save Sugar. !"
It is proposed to ask the women Of
the state to submit suggestions all
along this line to a Committee on
Awards Of which Miss Alice French
of Davenport has consented to act
as chairman.
Suitable prizes to consist Of GER
tificates personally signed by Mr..
Hoover and Mr.. Deems will be pre-
scented for the best suggestion Of
fered in the state, for ten additional
ideals in the state at large, and six
each Of the towns and the country in
each county, and possibly for others.
Details of the plan will be announc-
ed as the contest progresses during
the next three weeks. It is planned
to- close it about August 26 and to
announce the awards on September,
l, if possible. AS the plans develop,
you will be kept fully advised.
We desire to make the County
Chairmen Of the Women's Committee
an advisory Committee on Awards to
work with Miss French's COM
mittee in determining the winners in
the different counties Of the state,
according to plans to be outlined by
the Committee when its organization
has been perfected.
The success Of the contest will de-
pend on the extene to which the
women participate in it. The chair
men Of the Women's Committee will
be able to interest all the women of
Iowa in it, if they will take hold of
the project and urge it upon the at
tention Of our people. Will you not
help us?
Sugar saving is q vital matter. The
nation faces a crisis nthe sugar
shortage. There is no danger of act
ual famine. The supply is very re-
stricted. The Food Administration
hopes through this contest as well
as in many other ways to fix the at
tention of Iowa on the necessity of
saving sugar. Besides that, out of
the contest surely will come lot of
very very valuable suggestions as
to how the desired result is to be
brought about.
Please lend US your support in
making this contest great sue
cess. Let all the women in your
county know about it. Urge them to
participate. With your assistance we
should have $4,000 contestants. All
women are eligible.
Relying on you as always to do
your utmost in the cause of food
conservation, so vital to the success
of our boys in the trenches, am,

Practical Way to Punish Hun
Diabolism

The American Defense Society is
calling for pledges agreeing not to
purchase anything made in Germany
and this is work that meets with our
heartiest appreciation. It is not spite
or hatred or anything Of the sort. It
is hard common sense, and apprecia-
ton of justice, using and power
full weapon against q detestable en-
envy. Every American can make his
power felt in this field, by positively
refusing to spend cent now or
hereafter for anything made in
Germany.
Within few days Germany has
thrown the last shred Of decency, civ
ilization and humanity to the waves
and has announced her intention Of
sinking hospital ships wherever to
be found. This she does with delib-
crate and conscious lie on her lips.
She does it because of her complete
adoption of Satan and all his hellish-
ness. This makes her parish, and a
leper among the nations. She has
chosen to be an out cast and an out
law and as such must take the treat
ment she has invited.
One way to make reprisals and ap-
ply punishment is to refuse to do
business with her after the war. Now
is the time to make sure that the
punishment is applied. Every Amer
lean can and should take this obliga-
ton.
That we do not require anything
made in Germany-inc the
languages made plain by our ex-
periences during the war. We have
had several years Of almost entire
freedom from German-made things,
and we have not suffered. We would
be still better off by declaring COM
plete industrial independence and
positively refusing to purchase a
single German article for, at least a
century. From Bristol Conn
Press.

GOOD THIS SPRING
A Combination That is Benefiting Thou
sands at This Time

A superlative bIood-purifying medicine
like Hoods Sarsaparilla, taken before
meals, combined with superlative iron
tonic like Peptiron, taken after meals
makes the ideal course of Spring medi-
cine.
No other medicines accomplish so
much at this season as these two great
restoratives working together.
They reach the impure, impoverished,
poisoned, devtalized blood, and the
worn rundown over-worked, exhausted
system They relieve rheumatism, scfo-
lula and other humors They awaken
the appetite aid digestion, give renewed
strength and produce sound, natural
sleep
If your liver is torpid or sluggish,
your tongue IS coated, you have stom-
ach and bowel troubles, you should
take Hoods Pills, which are gentle
and work in harmony with Hood 5
Sarsaparilla and Peptiron.
