there are so many and not enough doc
tors or places to put them.
The Saturday before this was writ
ten the daddy and his friends went
down to get on the train to go up heal
where the fighting is going on but
they had to come back and are going
in a day or so. Up there we have to
have gas masks and helmets, because
it is SO near to danger and soldiers
have to watch out all the time for the
enemy. On the day this was written
and the day before it has rained and
you never saw any mud like this mud,
it is black and sticky, and the soldiers
and officers are dirty-oh, S o dirty
with only a chance now and then to
wash. All the people in France are in
black clothes and this is not as bad as
it looks because a woman will wear
black if a cousin is killed-so one dead
soldier may have 6 or Z women in
black for him-and now it is a sort of
fashion. Some of this daddy's friends
have been foolish in the new country
and have drank too much wine. They
would not do it at home. They are
like bad children away from their
mother, so daddy goes around to st.
Maxwell and st. McGrath because they
are not foolish. Over in this queer
country the maid is very slow and so
this daddy and his friends will not
get any word from the people at home
that they love for a long while. But
by-and-by the war will be over and
then the daddy can come home and
everybody will be having a good time
again. Now if you like this story I'll
write another one for you some time.
Your dear Daddy.

West End Cons.
With the opening of the Third
Liberty Loan campaign last Satur-
day, the officers of the West End
Consolidated Mining company, with
Headquarters at Oakland, Cal, wired
t. the local management that the
company would subscribe to $4,000
worth of the bonds. On the occa-
sion of the first two loans, the COM
pany put its subscription to $4,000
worth of " and 4 per cent bonds,
and the last contribution brings the
total amount up to 100000 that
the company has subscribed.
This amount is outside of the
subscriptions that the employees of
the West End company nave indi-
vidually subscribed. AS with other
companies in Tonopah, the complete
figures have not been compiled as
yet, so there is no way to accurately
estimate the proportion that the
subscription of the citizens of Tu-
nopah will assume with relation to
the quota that has been assigned to
Tonopah and Nye county.
In the proceeding week the OPP
erations at the Ohio workings we're

that the company was busiiy engag-
