MIR. ana MRS. JOnn k1or nave re-
ceived the following letter from their
son Wayland, who is somewhere in
France:
July u 1918.
Dear Mother and All:
1t has been about a week since ]
have written to you but it has not
been because I have forgotten you at
all, but because I have been sick in
bed for four days with what they
call the three-day trench fever. I
sure was some sick, too. had fe-
yer of 104. Most all of the fellows
have had it and thought | was going
to get out of it, but it got me. Some
of the fellows were pretty sick, too
l went to bed July feeling fine and
Fourth of July morning why / got up
with an awful headache and a fever of
102, SO l went right back to bed and
didn't get up until this morning. I
am feeling pretty good today except
I am pretty weak yet.
The afternoon of the Fourth Jim
Bray DrOugnt eighteen letters to me
that came in, so | was kept busy until
supper time. 1t sure will take some
time to answer them.
During the four days I was sick
they had a fellow from one of our
companies drive my motorcycle and
yesterday he ran into another one
and smashed it all up. It will take
some time to fix it, I guess.
What do you think / had this after
noon and tonight? Some young green
onions just out of the garden. I can
not tell you how good they tasted to
me. I am going to have some more
tomorrow, guess.
Well, mother, am just writing you
note tonight, as l don't feel much
like writing. Good night,
Your loving son,
WAYLAND.

One of the things Mr.. Chas. E. Da-
Wis, candidate for Congress, brags of
in his announcement is that he is the
author of the Davis package law.
Now, Mr.. Davis is a nice man and we
want to be nice to him, but if we
thought the Davis package law was
a specimen of his craftsmanship, we
would vote against him for that rea-
son alone. It was one of the most
bunglesome pieces of legislation ever
put on the Florida statute books, and
we shudder to think of any such
measure being saddled on the entire
nation.

Pack Up Your Troubles and Smile
See verse and chorus at the begin
ming of the article:
The Star-Spangled Banner
Oh, say can you see, by the dawn's
early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the
twilght's last cleaning,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars,
thro' the perilous fight,
Ger the ramparts we watched were
so CALAMITY streaming?
And the rockets red glare, the bombs
bursting in air,
Gave proof thro' the night that our
flag was still there.
oh, say does that star-spangled ban
ner yet wave
Ger the land of the free and the
home of the brave?
Annie Laurie
Marvellous braes are bonnie,
Where early fa's the dew,
And twas there that Annie Laurie
Gi'ed me her promise true,
Which ne'er forgot will be,
And for bonnie Annie Laurie,
I'd lay me down and dee.
Blest Be the Tie That Binds
Blest be the tie that binds
Our hearts in Christian love;
The fellowship of kindred minds
Is like to that above.
Before our Fathers throne
We pour our ardent pray'rs;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,
Our comforts and our cares.
We share our mutual woes,
Our mutual burdens bear;
And often for each other flows
The sympathizing tears.
America
My country! It's of thee,
Sweet land of liberty,
Of thee I sing:
Land where my fathers died.
Land of the pilgrims pridei
From ev'ry mountain side
Let freedom ring!
Our fathers God! to Thee,
Author of liberty,
To Thee we sing:
Long may our land be bright
With freedoms holy light;
Protect US by The might,
Great God, our King.
Prayer Verse
God save our splendid men,
Bring them safe home again.
God save our men.
Make them victorious, noble and chiv-
alrous,
They are so dear to US.
God save our men.

pre-primary discussions. There is pol
itics in everything, but it should be
kept to minimum at present. Can
didates, however, should be closely
questioned as to what they do, and
then the people should keep tab on
their actions after they are elected.
Particularly should this rule be ap-
piled to candidates for the senate and
