Soldier S Letter

The following letter has been re-
ceived by Mr.. and Mrs William Cos
lin, from their son. Private William
Oliver Goslin, who is now in France,
where be has been in active service:
Saturday, October &c, 1918.
Ny dear Mother:
received your most welcome let
ter sometime past. and how glad /
was to hear from YOU once more no
words can express, ana TO hear tha'
everyone was wen and getting along
so nicely. No doubt l have put off
answering longer than | should, but
there have been so many things nap
pening since then TO prevent me from
writing. l have been up TO the front
+" line with my regiment; was there
about three weeks, and was in the
lines at the time l received your let
ter. Had quite Il few thrilling eX-
periences during that time, but came
safely through until the night we
were moving out, and it was so dark
. and foggy l fell in a shell mole, and
sprained my ankle so badly that |
could go only a short distance FUR
Their, and the next day was sent TO
. the hospital. | stayed at this hospl-
tai about five days, and was then sent
to another American base. Since /
have been here | have been operated
upon.
You will remember that my side
has always given me trouble, and it
has been SO painful at times since |
have been over here, and had suffer-
ed so much OIL some of the Ions
hikes, l simply made up my MIND to
have it done while L had the chance.
and have been getting along fine;
haven't had the least bit Of trouble,
and was only sick the first two days.
Have been getting the best OF treat
ment and attention The doctors and
nurses of the Red Cross viii always
have my highest praise.
Wish it had been done long ago,
but like all other similar cases, was
put off from time to time. Am sure
l will find quite a difference.
Well, if l don't hurry and come
home l can see all my old girls will
be married, and when l do, will eth
er have to build myself a one-room
shack or go to the Old Soldiers
Home and remain in single bliss. SO
Leila and Mr. Smith have been mar
ried. I expected to hear of it most
any time, as they were counting pref
ty hard before I left home. l wish
them all kinds of success and happi-
ness. Please give them both my
kindest regards when you see them.
will certainly be glad when this
war is over, and we can all return
home, but it looks to me as though
!, we will have to spend the winter in
this place. The section of France 1
am in now is the best part of the
country have been in yet.
Well, 1 viii bring this letter to a
close, hoping this will find you and
the rest of the family well. Remem-
Der me to everybody Your loving
son, OLIVER GOSLIN.

which solves fhe problem in very
simple way, and the device Is very cas-
lily made up. 1t consists Of straight
tube of say two or three inches d.

what toward the bottom, where 1t Is
provided with flaring and cup-shaped
end Of rather large diameter, the
whole being somewhat of trumpet

Camping in the Rockies.

The camp ground established at
Barthof park, Rocky Mountain Ma
tional park last year, will be accessi-
Bile this season by the completion Of
the automobile road, and Il second
camping place located. The great
parklike valleys lying east Of the
Snowy range are well adapted for
accommodating multitudes of recrea-
ton seekers not only in the numerous
hotels and lodges but under their
own canvas.
In these days when motorists In
rapidly increasing numbers are carry
ing tents and camping outfits of their
own into other national parks, a de-
mand has shown itself for similar
privileges here where nature has pro-
vided so excellent an opportunity.
With the accessibility of the Rocky
Mountain National park to Denver
and greater centers of population be.
yond, it is predicted that many be-
sides motorists will pitch tents in the
shadow of the Snowy range.
Bartholf park is well on TIE way
