the Improved Order Of Red Men wa:
held at Newark this afternoon. An
elaborate program was carried through

provided vocal selections. The raising
OF a service flag was the feature.

to get The higher price, due to the acti.r


by the President.
The wheat States Democrats, though,
see some hope Of an answering argl-
ment in the veto message itself. They
feel they can put the failure to obtain
40 wheat upon the same high ground
upon which the President based one
OF his arguments against 1.-THE fact
that Canadian wheat would follow fhe
American price and that the nations
lighting with the United States against
the common enemy would suffer flnan-
cially to a considerable extent through
raising the wheat price.
How efilcacious this argument will
prove with the average farmer Of the
Northwest is a hazardous surmise and
a thin thread upon which to suspend
heavy hopes. In the most Of tile wheai
country the ability of a representative
is measured by his success in making
money for his constituents.

When we get hungry over here we
just go and get hot chocolate, coffee,
soup, cheese, sandwiches, cigarettes
and almost anything we want at the
Red Cross headquarters and it does
not cost US cent" said Private Ray

He continued his praise of the Red
Cross and the Y. NJ. c. A. Anything
people back home can do for either
the Y. NJ. c. A. or the Red Cross is a
wonderful thing. Their work over
here is certainly fine. l do not know
what we would do if it were not for
them" he said.

being homesick. He is in Field Hos

This highway because of its low

Of its rich fertile fields of grain, and
vast communities, prosperous people

HOME WHILE At SEA
Son Of A. c. Barnes. Member Of the
Unitsd States Navy. Is Somewhere
on the Ocean on Duty
TELLS OF THE TROPICS
Gives Interesting Account Of Visit 10
an Island lie Must Needs
Leave Leave Unnamed
for Present.

Garrett Barnes, a member Of the
United States Navy, who is at sea at
present on duty, writes his brother,
Clarence A. Barnes. Of this city, the
following Interesting letter Of re-
cent visit to an Island. For reasons
well known the spot remains un-
named.
U. S. s., May 13, 1918.
Dear Clarence: Suppose that you
have received some Of the cards that
| have been sending you by this time.
There is not a great deal to tell you
except that we are several thousand
miles from the Statue of Liberty and
that we have not had any mail since
leaving the U. S. A. with the exeep-
ton Of a few sacks received just as
We were leaving our last port, which
has been some weeks ago. At that
time received a letter from Irma and
was sure glad to get it.
This port here is some port, and ]
wish you could see the people and
their modes Of dressing, etc. The men
all go barefoot and try to dress as
near like the English as they can,
and, believe me, they sure are funny.
Their feet are as hard as iron and
they run over eobblestone streets just
as easy as one that had shoes on. The
sun gets very hot here and fruit is the
principal diet We have been fed good
since reaching here. Among some Of
the fruit are oranges and pineap-
pies by the dozens. Think of getting a
half dozen large juicy, ripe pineap-
pies for quarter and sitting down
and getting all you wanted of them.
Oranges are 10 cents per dozen. They
are rather small, but they have a fine
taste. Also the onions are good.
The modes of travel are practically
all kinds. Several have carts drawn
by dogs, goats, ponies, oxen, dom
keys, ETC., but the main travel is
done by foot as the people are mostly
poor people and can't afford the other
conveyances. There is one Ford in
the place and a French car or two.
Several Of US boys took the Ford last
Sunday &hd took in the whole island
to a fare-you-well We saw all there
was to see of it and that is going
some. The streets are all walled on
both sides, cobblestoned and narrow,
but everything looks pretty as the
houses are painted all sorts Of colors
with tile roofs like is on Mr.. LIS
house. Just behind the city is a
mountain and the farms are all cut
up into little squares about an acre
each and thus farmed. The harbor is
one of the prettiest have ever seen,
but closer description Of it is not
permitted. The houses are built with
one or two stories and the second sto-
ry has fine looking railing around
it The walls are Of rock and mortar
and are about two to three feet thick
with the outer surface covered with q
flat tile like in the front of fire.
place. They are very pretty and the
walks are all inlaid with fancy work.
When we finally reach our destina-
tion presume we will be able to mail
some of the postcards home of this
place and then you can judge for
yourself of the port
Your loving brother,
GARRETT.
