over night I got the check cashed

money. he could buy himself some

mixed up trying to count his money
over here They have money with
holes in the middle of it, and it IS
called Belgian money. They would
make good washers to put on a bolt.
| think they also have two other
kinds. French and English money. We
are paid in France, so the fellows tell
us that came over before us. We
stopped al one place in France a short
way from where we are now and they

came to fall in and we hiked to our

here that Mexico had declared war

much damage? 1t is lucky they
didn't do 1t while we were over there

instead of over here. We had game
of ball today, but were defeated 5-2.

From Far on Norway

Maine, in common with most of the
states OF America, has a generous al
lotment OF the sturdy people of North
ern Europe, especially from Norway
and Sweden 1t is very rare cir
cumstance, however, when an Ameri-
can citizen takes up his or her resi-
dence In either Of these countries. The
following letter Is from native of
Bingham, formerly Miss Eva Russell,
The family moved from Bingham to
Skowhegan when she was about 10
years of age When about 90 years
of age, she went to Auburn to work as
waitress in one of the hotels. Here
she met Theodore Nelson, a native Of
Norway, who was cook in the same es-
adjustment They were married and
went on a wedding journey to Mr..
Nelson's former home, returning in
August of the same year after an alb
sence of four months Mr.. Nelson
was then employed as cook in the
Falmouth Hotel in Portland. After
two years residence In America, they
decided to live permanently in Nor
way, and are now located at Austad,

Dear Papa:
Am wishing you a happy birth
day. Suppose you will not get
this letter for three or four
months. Theodore has just got
done with his spring planting.
We have to raise our own -four
now. Can't buy much white
-four here. Have sowed wheat,
rye and oats. Have planted a
few turnips this spring for the
cows. The cows here don't seem
like the cows at home. They
don't like salt, but they like fish
We have two cows, two heifers
and one calf. Have not turned
them out, yet, but shall in a few
days We have to keep two or
three in the barn all summer, as
we don't have pasturage enough
for them all The people here
feed the cows on the bark of some
kind of trees, in the winter time,
an they seem to like it better
than hay. How many COWS do
you keep now? Do YOU still have
that horse that was Aunt Abbie's?
Suppose Roland is quite a man,
and lots of help to you. Where
is Alma? Have not had a letter
from her for nearly a year,
Theodore has gone to see the
lambs, with the two children, Es-
Their and Ruth We have three
sheep that have six lambs Esther
always wanted to hug the lambs
the same as the cat, but the other
day she got a sheep tick on her
and since then she does not want
to hug them.
The food here is awful high,
as we'll as everything else. There
Is not much cloth to buy, and we
could not buy thread for quite
while. Think people in the big
cities must have been having
quite a hard time. The food Is

S781,8OO WORTH
Of BONDS SOLD
IN THIS COUNTY
Victory for Liberty Loan Cam
paign Assured; Within S62,-
500 of the Quota of $844,-
800.

Without a precedent in any money
! raising campaign in Bernalillo county,
| one hundred and sixty Liberty solicit
tors in Albuquerque yesterday sold
$13GS00 worth of Liberty Bonds,
making total sale thus far duf:Hg
the campaign of 1851, 800. This sun,
added to the $4,000, estimated to be
the amount of bonds subscribed for by
Santa Fe employees here, makes total
in the county up to last night of $751;
500. Berna1illo county's quota is $S44.-
800. This leaves $62,50O to be raised
during the coming week and the coun-
ty will be over the top.
Members of the executive commit
tee last night expressed themselves as
being very we'll satisfied with the re-
suit of the intensive drive conducted
yesterday, They were lavish in their
praise of the work of the solicitors
men and women. The women man
aged to sell more bonds than the men
yesterday. When the totals were an
nounced at loan headquarters at 10
o'clock last night the figues poved
that the womens committees had sold
S17,250 in bonds DUNG the day, while
the men had sold $60,550.
There were but few subscriptions
handled yesterday. There were more
than one thousand small subserip-
ions, indicating that tn rank and file
or the people were buying the bonds
to build boats to bring the boys back
to Bernalillo county. 1t woold take
columns to tell of the personal expert
ences of the solicitors. There were
mighty few real refusals reported.
For the most part the people respond
ed generously and quickly to the APP
peal to buy more bonds.
Among the larger subscriptions
picked up yesterday were the follow
ing: Occidental Life Insurance COM
pany, $4,000, of which $4,000 is to-
be credited to Bernalillo county and
$1,000 to other counties of the state;
Albuquerque Gas and Electric COM
pany' $4,000; Postal Telegraph COM
pany, through Manager T. s. Creagan,
$4,000; the Kansas City Life Insuranc
company, through General Agent l..
{. Mersfelder, 5000.
The peace offensive begun by thel
Germans will undoubtedly be thel
cause for Albuquerque and BernalilloI
county going over the top with a
Whoop early this week. 1T is realized
now that Liberty Bonds as cod-blood-
ed investment propositions, will soar
on the New York stock exchange ana
mat they may be selling above par
within very short time. |
With but $62,50O in bonds left toI
sell, the executive committee antici-
pates a comparatively easy time of 1t.
IN fact it is likly that wealthy people
Who have heretofore held back, timid
TO invest heavily in bonds because OF
uncertainty of conditions, will now
turn IN large subscriptions.
City and county will be asked to
participate in the final squirt in the
campaign this week. There are num-
Der of prospects to be seen In the out
side precincts and it is likely that
workers will be asked to make one
more day or two of the job and finish
IT up IN manner that will be creuit
10 the community.

CANDIDATES FOR WEST
POINT TO BE EXAMINED
AT STATE UNIVERSITY

Word has just been received by the
University of New Mexico that it has
been designated as the place for the
application for examination of can
dldates for admission to West Point.
instructions have been received by
Commanding Officer Lisanby to take
charge of this matter, and all com
munications with reference to en-
trance to West Point should be adj
dressed to him in care of the Uni
versity.
The instructions include the re-
quest that certain members of the
faculty be designated to assist in the
selection and rating of candidates.
1t is expected that quite large
number of candidates will make APP
pllcatlon from this state on account
OF the great interest which is now
being shown in the work at West
Point and the fact that the classes
are being enlarged there.

tails were not watched closely. It is
pointed out that the concern employs
10000 workmen, aud it has been found
that with the Introduction of an ade-
quate system of thrift the elimination
of waste is a comparatively simple
matter.
The same circumstance exists more
or less throughout the United States.
Not only are we learning that thrift
pays most substantial dividends, but
we are finding out that its introduc-
ton is less irksome than might have
been imagined.
The war is costing our nation APP
proximately $24,o0O,000 600 a year. If
we suddenly had been confronted with
such a prodigious expenditure a few
years ago we would have felt that the
task was beyond performance. But
through the thrift Ct our people, our
willingness to sacrifice and our patrio-
tic cooperation with the government

LITTLE TALKS ON THRIFT
BY S. W. STRAUS
President 81 the Amsriean Society for Thin

in all its demands, we are bearing the
financial burden of the war with
astonishing poiSe and equanimity. We
are eliminating millions upon millions
of dollars worth of waste in ways that
are not causing great inconvenience
or distress.
In the matter of petroleum products
and natural gas waste for example, we
are now saving 81 100000, 900 year.
We consumed last year l65,000,0O0
barrels Of fuel oil, and ESQ, or about
100000 barrels, of fhis was wasted.
1t would require train of S,0Oj-gal-
Ion tank cars 1926 miles long, or $50
miles of 5,O0O-ton ships placed end to
end, to carry the amount of fuel oil
hitherto wasted by us in one year.
1t is estimated that from 25.O00,000
to 3O,000,0O0 tons of coal can be saved
in 100000 industrial plants in the Uni
ted States by the introduction of i'm
proved methods of firing, stopping
leaks around boiler settir Is, and other
methods of economy that hitherto were
regarded as too small for considcra-
ton.
Investigation Of all our great conf
mereial and industrial activities would
likely reveal examples of waste now
being eliminated as the result of patri-
otie cooperation and a general tight
enlng up process. A considerable part
OF our annual war bill is being paid by
the introduction of thrifty methods
that we should have learned years ago.
Let us prepare to make permanent
these commendable practices of thrift.
If We do we viii have learned a great
lesson from this war.
