There are citizens of Tucumcari who
claim this saving of food is four-flush-
ing and that the merchants are hold
ing them up making them buy $3.50
when they want flour. A merchant in
Santa Rosa it is said was enjoying a
good business at the local merchants
expense, but his case is now being
looked into by the authorities. Just
to show how hard it is to buy goods
this illustration may be of value. A
citizen of Tucumcari went to st. Louis
Mo-, and being acquainted with one
of the largest wholesale houses in that
city he went to buy two suits of under
wear because he figured the assort-
ment would he much greater than in
Tucumcari. He did not buy because
the Wholesale house did not have an
assortment worth while. In fact he
said he could find u better assortment
in the II. Bonem store here. Before
you criticise your government or your
home merchants it might be well for
you to investigate. 1t is very nearly
impossible for the merchants to secure
freight shipments from points east of
Kansas City and Oklahoma City.

ELMO MELTON WRITES
 FROM BATTLE FRONT

OOPCs AO O MT. W. w. Raney, Editor, McCrory, Arkansas,
 Dear Sir
 Have just finished reading some of the letters by the boys at home in The Home News and they were like personal letters over here, but they will write and think differently when they get this far.
 We don't know what we will do tomorrow, or whether we will be alive or not, for Fritz has no respect for us or any one else here. At nights, bombs drop from aeroplanes too close to be comfortable, and all the protection we have is the roof of our billet. But it is interesting to hear Fritz s planes come over for he some times gets what he doesn't de- sire by any means.
 One of the most interesting sights is a battle in mid air. We see plenty of them and at night we watch them make their attacks-this we do from a distance. tho.'
 Asto the boys over there, will say that our biggest bat ties are fought when We are rockies" We talk about what we would do if we could get to France. Ha, ha! You become sober when you get out in mid ocean, you don't need to get to France.
 I have seen quite a lot of this country since we landed, and home is one of the best places I have found yet, how ever we don't have much time to get lonesome or think of home over here.
 I am using my gas mask for a table. Have used it for a pillow and it comes in handy for lots of things besides w hat 1t is actually intended. Our motto for it is, .sWe need thee every hour" You don't catch any of us without them any time either.
 We'll, have written all that will be permitted so far. Hop ing you will find space in your valuable paper for this, 1 am,
 Your Friend,
