have all reported, may reduce the
American losses to a minimum.

Walter Horne Writes

Walter Horne, one of the boys who
enlisted from Olney Springs early in
the game, is now at Camp Mills. on
Long Island. He has written his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. E. E. Horne,
who now reside in Ordway, and gives
some interesting news. Extracts from
two recent letters are as follows:
August 8, 1918.
| Dear Mother:
| / arrived here last night at about
o'clock. We had great trip
across the continent, and we have
struck very hot place, for 1t was
ia in the shade here yesterday.
We crossed the harbor and East river
on ferry to Long Island then took
the train 26 miles to camp. do
not know how long we will be mere.
but l hear that we get liberty suf-
ficient to make the stay an interesting
one. We were treated mighty fine on
the trip by the Red Cross and Y NJ.

We got to take three baths and
went swimming in Lake Erie on the
way here, and all. are doing today
is trying to keep cool.
This place is worse'than San Diego,
CAL, for airships. They are over the
camp all the time.
In another letter he says:
All we are doing now is getting
equipment. l went to New York City
last night and didn't get back till
nearly morning. New York is surely
big burg; nearly got lost in the
subway. A crooked town I'll tell
you. You know the trains run un-
der the Hudson river from Long
Island. We get passes in this camp
from 2 O'Clock one day until 12
O'Clock the next. We don't do any
drilling now for we are supposed to
be full fledged soldiers when we
reach here. so they tell me. We will
get our share when we get "Over

Camp Fremont, Cal. when the in

up there about July 20. He is still
there: | suppose his three months

I believe he will get commission
out of it. He is quite fine fellow.

H. NJ. Reid has resigned his posi-
tion as undersheriff but will remain
with the local draft board for a time
yet until the heavy work of the COM
ing registration is over. Mr.. Reid
has been with the sheriff's office for
almost two years, as undersheriff
When the conscription law was pass
ed and the available men for army
service were required to register he
was made chief clerk to the draft
board and has since held that posi-
ton. His experience in the army
service and in office work made him
fitted for the position and he made
thoro study of all the laws per-
tanning to the registration and draft
until he is probably the best versed
man in the county on the various
points in the draft law.
Mr.. Reid's resignation as under
sheriff was rendered because he ex-
poets to enter the army service be-
fore long.

SPIRIT OF FRANCE

Much has been told of the spirit
of France since the war began.
Many heroic things - victories,
sacrifices, courage beyond belief,
uncomplaining resistance to the
slow agony Of hunger, cold and
personal loss, have developed from
this marvellous, idealistic devo-
ton to their own land.
But listen to this tale, ye who
feel abused because your morning
is not as sweet as of yore:
Last winter sugar was, scarce IN
France, even as it is now, so scarce
that it was and is an almost un-
known luxury to many.
Officials of the Red Cross de-
cided to invite the school children
of Paris to luncheon. So all the
small folks of the city were gath
cred together and feasted on the
great cups of chocolate which is
their delight, with an ample sup
plv Of bread.
Then because candy is no longer
made in France, because the land
of French pastry knows pastry no
more, because there must be a sur
prise, a final treat, "bonne
bouche," each little guest, out of
the stores of the Red Cross, was
given to eat lump of sugar, one
of the half dominoes of loaf
sugar.
There were smiles of thanks,
grateful words of delighted ap-
probation from these children of
Paris, starved for sweets through
so many weary months.
But then-a pause.
A few of the scores Of children ate
their sugar joyously; others looked at
1t longingly; but most of 1t was at
once whisked out of sight, clasped
closely in little hands. slipped into
tiny pockets.
Then came surprised questionings
from those giving and serving the
luncheon-and whispered, half-shy ex-
plantations in response.
Yes, yes. every one loved sugar,
but" and then 1t was discovered that
each small person had the same
tHOuRnt, born oil the WONDERFUL spirit
of France. quite without other prompt
ing -t---ae1is s-ii '=---l-s =.
II the sugar were. taken home, saved
quite carefully. ii might be put into a
tiny box and sent to soldier. fight
ing at the front for France.
We in America now are asked to
eat not more than two pounds of sugar
month-which is far more than the
French are gctting-in order that we
may send part of our usual amount
to our own soldiers in France and that
we may share with these little French
patriots.

they are still with us. A person
derful good they are doing when he
gets up here and finds them both
more active than ever. On one of
our short stops the other day the
Red Cross came out and gave us
chocolate and tobacco and you can
guess we were surprised and pleased
when we discovered that this par
ticul'ir tobacco had been sent thru
the Denver News fund.
Needless to say 1 can't say a great
deai of my actions but as soon as
can ge. paper, time and opportunity
I'll try again. Reading is scarce

From John Hopkins
John Hopkins is in France. having
arrived there short time ago. He
has written his mother. Mrs. ]. G..
Hopkins. in part as follows:
Somewhere In France,
July 81, 1918.
Dear Mother and Dad:
1 have received your letter of June
5, and was most awfully glad to get
it for 1t was the first mail 1 have
received since coming over here. l
was glad to hear that you both were
we'll. l suppose that you have been
busy this summer and wish many
timse that l could be there to help.
but of course I am also glad to be
here, and would not miss the ex-
perience for anything.
1t Is rather dry here and only one
rain, and that small shower, has
fallen since we landed. The climate
is about like the Colorado climate,
at least in many respects. There is
one great difference and that is there
are so many trees here. The trees
where we are located are mostly
pines, and they grow very tall
French people do their farming on
small scale compared to what we
do in the United States, and grapes
are the principle crop raised. A
person can see vinyards almost any
where. The grain and potatoes look
very good and they will have a good
crop of these. No corn is raised here
at all. There are so many things to
tell about what we see and what this
country is like that l will have to
wait until l return home to tell you
all about it. 1t ooks odd to see a
pan VI oAGh SoihS oWH
street of town pulling a load of
hay on a cart which carries about
as big as some of the haulers used
to take to the alfalfa mill in Crowley
county. The methods. compared to
ours, are very primitive and that
makes 1t look strange to us.
We have big swimming pool
where we are stationed and it surely
is a busy place for the boys all take
to water.
Some of the Crowley county boys
are on the firing line and have been
in some of the big battles and have
carried off victories worth while. and
we expect some time to have a chance
to do real active work.
With love and best wishes to all.

FRANCE AND BELGIUM
GET AMERICAN SUGAR

Ninety-nve per cent. of all refined
sugar sent from the United States to
the Allied nations went TO France and
Belgium during the first five months
of this year.
France got ~ per cent, or nearly
80, ,OOO.O 900 pounds, and Belgium receiv-
ed nearly 100000 pounds, or 23 per
cent.
In each country this sugar was doled
out by "A strict rationing organization.
The entire amount to the Allies in
these five months-23, ,791 tons, almost
half of which was shipped In May-is
only about one-half of per cent. OF
