Spruce logs are now coming

ing moral and financial support to this
wonderful work, SO closely interviewer
with the lives of the men in service,
has been given not only to an institu-
tional government, but to every indi-
lvidhal man, woman and child in the

Now, therefore, !, ]. E. Douglass,
mayor of Tarpon Springs, do proclaim
to the citizens of this city that, during
the week beginning Sunday, Novem-

tention, lend effort and strength, and
give Gberally to the fullest extent of
their means, to the appeal for funds
| that shall be made by United War

carry on this wonderful work so

year, which is undoubtedly to be the
most critical year in the war, our men
in service must experience no inter
ruption or modification of the extent
to which this morale making work has
entered into their lives and brought
happiness and courage. To see that

those of us whom our boys have left

Dear Mr.. Lucas:
was very sorry to hear that you
were sick, but am glad to know that
you are well again. I guess Mrs.
Lucas had quite time taking care
of you.
Mother was very sick, too. The DR..
took her to st. Louis to the hospital
and had to stay alone at grandmoth-
er's. She was away 21s weeks, but
came home Sunday. She is not quite
strong yet. We are coming home as
soon as she is able to travel.
I am glad she came back to me,
She had the flu and bronchitis and
pneumonia.
I am getting homesick for daddy.
Mother wishes to be remembered to
you and Mrs. Lucas.

1T has come about that the people
|of the United States find themselves
compelled to take arms against foe
that threatens the liberties of the
peoples of the world: the lives OF
women and children, particularly,
and of all free men. To help to es-
tablish a freedom from this oppres-
sion that the world demands, it is
necessary that millions of the best
young manhood and young woman
hood of America must go overseas
and separate themselves from their
accustomed vocations and domestic
influences. This, naturally, means a
mental and spiritual hunger for those
ties of family, society and church that
are dear to the heart and close to the
deepest feelings of every American.
To supply this void in the lives of our
millions of soldiers and sailors, the
United States government has author
lied these seven organizations to look
after the welfare of the men in the
service: s
j Young Mems Christian association.
Young Women's Christian associa-
ton.
National Catholic War council-K.
of C.
Jewish Welfare board.
War Camp Community service.
American Library association.
Salvation Army.
these seven organizations have ac-
eepted and discharged this trust in q
manner that has commanded the adj
miration of the world, and the eternal
gratitude of every man under the
service flag $500.

Dear Sir and Friend:

for some time, but | have been on the

not had but very little time. But,
thanks be to God, l am stationed at
the above address as an attache of the

most important one. ~.
st. Malo is very nice place, a kind
| of resort, but very quaint one.
1t is claimed that the city was founded
600 years before the discovery of Am
erica, and has very high wall built
completely around it of stone, also
two-thirds of the houses are built of
stone, even the outhouses.
st. Malo is located on the extreme
western shore of France on the Eng
lish channel, and has very beautiful
beach, known as the Emerald Coast.
This is some shipping point, too,
judging from the number of vessels
that enter this port from all points Of
the earth.
The climate here is very disagreea-
BILE at times, and then again very
pleasant. 1t has been very rainy and
windy and somewhat cool for the sea-
son of the year, and you can never tell
when it will be raining or the sun
