Thrives On HardsI,ins

Paud j. Hayes writes to Mr. and
Mrs. L. NJ. Mcdonald characteristic
letter and our readers will be glad
to share with them some of the items
of this letter:
l often think of you folks back
home that are enjoying life; and us
fellows don't even so much as see
cheap movie. 1t will be three
months tomorrow, (Sept. 5th) that
we landed in France. The time goes
awful fast over here. 1t will be a
year the 18th of this month that l
went into the service The trip
across was rather exciting in some
places but l can't say that l enjoyed
it at all; believe, the return trip will
be much better, "There's a reason" :"
l saw good bit of England; Lon
don, Winchester, Southampton and
lots of other small towns.
= You probably have seen
pictures of soldiers in box cars: Well,
the French car is. about half the size
of the box car in America and they
put AZ of us fellows in one car with
our packs and rations which consists
of corn beef, we call it Bully Beer,
tomatoes raw, hard tack and jam.
So we pulled out and rode all that day
and night, some sleep on the roof of
the car; there was no danger of fall
ing off because they only go about 10
or II miles an hour. l woke up
about o'clock in the morning and
there were two fellows laying across
my legs and another with his feet in
my face with a beautiful odor; you
should have seen me clean house; I
guess l woke up everyone in the car,
then l went up on the roof and slept
until morning or time to get my
share of 'Bully Beef. We Travelled
all that day until about 4:30 in the
afternoon when we stopped at a small
| town and unloaded. | thought that
we were going into some Army Camp
! but. we didn't; we pitched tents and
made camp and l was lucky enough
to get a canteen of water and tried to
clean up a little bit. You can i'm
agine how clean l got with a canteer
of water after travelling three days
and two nights on a freight train
l havn't slept in a bed since lef, the
States, am quite used to it now, bu1
l never felt better in my life and an
heavier than l was in the States.
Rock Vernier came over on the
same boat l did; Rock and Howard
Dolf and all the home boys were SEN
to the front about the last week il
July, l haven't heard a thing from
them. Harry Pilliod and 1 are tht
only ones from home left in the regi
ment; he is a corporal and l am still
in the Medical Corps.
Be sure and give my best to all tn
boys, also Mr.. and Mrs. Stotzer.
Sincerely,
Paud ]. Hayes

CIVIC CLUB MEETING

Ladies of the Wauseon Civic Club
met at the Library last Monday eve
ming and elected officers for the en-
suing year.
The election resulted in the nam
ing of the following officers: Mrs.
Geo. B. Hayes, President; Mrs.
Chas. Humphrey Vice President;
Miss Emma Cummings, Secretary;
Miss Kathryn B. Weir, Treasurer.
Relief Committee: Mrs. Chas. H.
Jordan, Chairman; Mrs. F. S. Ham
and Mrs. George E. Gorsuch. Child
Welfare Committee Mrs. Fred H.
Wolf.
The Civic Club through it's officers
have been extending relief in cases
of real distress and need in the vii
lage and finds itself at the beginning
of another winter with less than
500 in its treasury and the pros
pect of many cases of real need in
the community that will have to be
met.
The treasury of the club will
have to be replen;shed by some meth
cd before long and when the club
shall have decided on what that
method shall be, we have no doubt
that citizens of Wauseon will re-
spond promptly and literally. In
the meantime there is no rule or re-
gulation that will prevent any phil
anthropic person who can do SO
from making a donation large OF
small, to the treasury of this organ
ization.
It was with sincere regret that the
Club accepted the resignation OF
Mrs. Roll Hoy as treasurer. Mrs
Hoy has been the efficient anc
faithful treasurer of the club since
It's organization and this is only one
of the lines of service she will have
to lay down on account of her re
moval to Kendalville, Ind.
