Dear Mother:

June ZOlIl. IJIO' Dear Mother;
 n,iu write you a few lines this evening. but it may be week or so ..foro these get into the mail. We have been very busy since l wrote ,,ou last; have been up almost every ;rbt and oh. it has raised. If l wore w in civil life would have called :. continual pouring down, but as l
 ;r tbe war zone and have spent a ,,;rter here. l will not call the rain hod for q rainy day is paradise when 4h;,l of last winters cold bleak days when | had to go to bed when off duty to make things a little more comfortable.
 roceived some mail today-a let for from you and one from Grace, one from Bernard Blakely, Floyd Marr fine first have received from my old school friend) and several others.
 am out in a little thicket this evening and the mosquitoes are plen- tiful. it keeps me catching them most of the time. l have only one blanket and have to sleep on one layer of it and cover with the other. Have been eating hard tack for over week now and our chief dish is corn beef, but all of the above goes to make war. Mother, no doubt you will be sur prised to learn what l am using for table; well, you may laugh but it is a rabbit cage. l have three little white rabbits in my charge; have had them for two weeks now. They were born in the war zone and were given to the battery for mascot, and we intend to carry them back to the U. s. when We go hope they will still be young.
 The nights here are very cool, but aS We are up almost all of them, we bep warm. The Fourth of July will soon be here l guess it will pass like all other holidays, for the hol- days are usually our hardest days at least 1t seems that way.
 was glad to hear that everyone at home Was well, and hope everyone will be so unul l return. l am feeling hne at present, excepting a little tired was in a city a few weeks ago where some of the nurses were from Louisiana. expect Miss Galloway was among them. Mother, any lady who can speak English makes hit With the boys over here-we seldom see any of them, but when we do and set chance to talk to them, we make up Tor lost time. In a few days VIII nave spent nine months in France and SIX of them at the front. where 'nere IS always something doing. rlOyd Marr read one of my letters in 'ne Prescott Daily News and he said ne wanted to let me know that he wished he could be with me. Tell Grace that will write her @ when am sure that I can mail it. ms ms letter may meet it's fate in some nicket in No Mans Land" It is nSru to keep anything when everyone N on the go, leaving sometimes at nldnght, having to pack in the dark, as no lights are allowed. I will close ,Oi 'nls time. Give my love to all, T''u uoh look for letter very often. Will write as often as I can. Lovingly,

mentS ana dld not have 1t to spare But if they had sent this much here there should have been no shortage for the consumption of ice in Prescott on Mondays is not equal to a carload.
 He also wants to know why we did not buy that carload from the A. R. T. Go. The best reason we know is that they did not have car to sell. We took off their hands all they had to offer which was ton and one hundred pounds.
 This was the first time since the ice plant has. been built that the peo- pie of Prescott have been entirely without ice, which is a record to their credit. This record too compares fav- orably with the record made by the City Water x Light Plant, which has at various times failed to furnish it's products from afew minutes to sev- eral hours at time, causing discom- fort and inconvenience to it's patrons while it lasted. It will probably be urged that the water and light trou- bles were the result of accidents or abnormal conditions, which they doubtless were. So were the ice plant troubles.
 We feel that with the assistance of the food administration we will be able to cope fully with the ice situa- tion and that the mayor and council can devote their entire time to the administration of the city's affairs From the appearance of the streets and alleys of the city, they are in urgent need of more attention than they are receiving at the present time
 The mayor figures out that it would bankrupt the city to abate the dust nuisance. He says there are 2l miles of streets in Prescott and it would take s sprinklers and million gal Ions of water a day to do the work.
 If there are 2l miles of streets in the town it would not be necessary to sprinkle more than 10 miles to get practically all of the dust. This could be done with i sprinklers, one for each ward. The sprinkler that is at work now is using from ten to fifteen thousand gallons of water per day; i sprinklers would use from fifty to sixty thousand gallons per day. This is approximately the amount of water that is running to waste at the ice plant every 24 hours, and if the city's pumps are not able to furnish sui ticient water for sprinkling, this water could be conserved and utilized at a small cost and would practically take care of the dust of the town.
 The city does rot own the sprinkler that is now in operation and never has owned it and the better way of handling the matter would be by con- tract and let the parties who do the work furnish their own outfits. The present administration has splendid opportunity of doing something of real benefit to the town and it would be we'll not to delay the matter until an epidemic of diphtheria or some other disease breaks out.
 We could think of lot of acri- monious things to say in answer to the criticism that has been made. but this would only tend to continue a newspaper discussion that would be disgusting to every one.
 It is our desire to build up the town and not tear it down, and to make it possible to live in the homes free from dust and other annoyances.
 Yours truly,
 Prescott Ice Co
