WRITE /!

eff / were back homeland ] am
glad / am not--there is one thing
that / would do and urge other peo-
pie to do. / would write letters to
all the men in the service whom /
know and would get my friends to
do the same thing"
This sentiment, in the course Of a
letter from a man who is now divis-
ional director for the Y. M. G. A. in
France, speaks volumes.
There is but one way to connect
home with the soldier abroad-and
that is by personal writing. 1t is all
right to send newspaper from home,
but newspaper is not letter. A
photograph Of the home folks is all
right-but a good, honey letter is
the best of all.
A cheer-flled letter, full of
Homeburgh items, crammed with hui
man interest, filled to the very bot
tom with society news and neighbor-
hood facts-this letter will carry
cheer and pleasure to soldier where
every other thing would be apt to fail.
1t is close to Thanksgiving.
Why not pen a little letter-or
write it in pencil-and send it to that
soldier boy this afternoon?

THANKSGIVING.

A good old custom that is handed
down to US from the days of John
Alden and the native Priscilla-the
custom Of setting apart one day Of
the 965 to give a thank feast to the
glory of Gods goodness. We are
much indebted to colonial Massachu-
sets for a festival so distinctively
American and so appropriately ma
tional in its character ana observance.
And we must acknowledge further
Indebtedness if of commercial ma
ture, to Massachusetts for the ia
nous Cape Cod cranberry, which
seems to have been especially created
to give tart spice to the roast turkey
land dressing so indissolubly asso-
ciated with the table traditions of
Thanksgiving day.
A great day is Thanksgiving from
the standpoint of table bounty, opti-
mistic good cheer and dear ones. 1t
is the natural cold Home Day." when
the scattered flock returns as to the
shepherds fold to renew for a few
fond hours the ties of vanished years
and cherish all that memory has
saved from the wreck of time. But
through the patrons of this beautiful
anniversary incident to the mutually
of human life shines the immutable
star of hope, and the dominant note
of the day is one of cheerful thank
fulness for the many blessings vouch-
safed by a benign providence.

WHEN A MAN MARRiES.

Wilt thou take her for thy ''pard, "
for better or for worse; to have, to
hold, to fondly guard, till hauled off
in the hearse? Wilt thou let her have
her way, consult her many wishes,
make the fires up every day, and help
her with the dishes? Wilt thou give
her all the "stuff" her little purse will
pack, buy her a money boa and muff,
a little sealskin sacque? Wilt thou
comfort and support her father, moth
er, Aunt Jemima, Uncre John, thir-
teen sisters and a brother? And his
face grew pale and blank, it was too
late to jilt; as through the chapel
floor he sank he sadly said 81 wilt. "

FROM A SOLDIER BOY.
Co. &C" Tr. Detachment,
Knoxville, Tenn.

Knoxville, Tenn.
Dear Aunt
| will try and write you a few lines
to let you know / am all right. Hope
you all are the same.
Well, the army is a good place
70 rany boy to be; it will teach you
to be man. There isn't any such
thing as a thing in the army. You
can tell any one that the boys that
are in the army now will be the men
Iafte rthe war. They will know how
to be. There isn't any such thing
as fighting in the army. If you curse
a soldier friend, you will get X. P.
for 3 to days, X stands for kitchen
and P stands for police, and when
you get that it means 1900 plates,
so pitchers, 500 cups, 1,7O0 knives,
forks an dspoons, 500 soup bowls,
200 meat dishes and that is three
times a day by yourself And no
one to help you, and if you miss one
step in ranks you get to run two
miles, and that is a pleasure trip be-
side those dishes. But, thank God,
/ never have got that yet. But if
had been out of this army me and
some of them would have had it. |
would rather let it go than to get
KIP.
You tell Tom when he gets in the
army he will not be driving horses or
cattle. He can drive them till night
and then quit, but here some of them
drives until II at night. And some
times you have to get up at IL and
drill until daylight. / never had to
do that, but some Of the boys did
for talking back to the officer or
sergeant.
Well, ! have wrote enough.

WATCH FOR

1t becomes increasingly evident in CON
nection with submarine activities off
the New England Coast that enemy
spies arc at liberty in this State, in the
opinion of the Maine committee on pub
lie safety The committee is in posses
sion of evidence of this nature and that
evidence has been presented to the
proper channels. Information which
has come to the committee indicate
many suspicious circumstances along
the Maine coast
In fact, II is we'll established that an
ofhcer OF an enemy submarine landed
and was seen by the captain and mate
OF a steamer sunk by that submarine
II is also well established that time ana
saliings must be known to the enemy.
therefore. the committee urges upon
every member of it's orga njzation
throughout the State TO keep a vigilant
lookout for strangers in their vicinity
who might be suspected Of such work.
to act promptly in an emergency and to
make every effort TO curtail the work
of the enemy spies.

Mr.. Ham declared that the respon-

the only thing the Governor and
Council could do was to vote to auth

towns who had given aid in accord

necessary and in no case was pauper

concluded his speech by saying that
no state in the Union had been more
loyal than Maine and no state had

than Maine, while in many phases of
war work, Maine had actually led the
rest of the states.
