FARMERS IN ALL
COUNTIES PLAN TO
MAKE Big EXHIBITS
See Opportunity to Make County
Known over All East Tennessee
Exhibits Will Show P-..riotie Work
Accomplished.

Farmers generally, it is anticipated,
will take greater interest in county
exhibits to be made at the East Ten
nessee Division Fair this year than
they have ever taken before. The rea-
son assigned for this is that since so
much patriotic work has been accom-
pished through production of crops
and in other ways more people are in
terested in better farm work than ever
before.
The county exhibits are to be made
up Of products from all parts of the
counties, therefore being truly repre-
sentative. 1t is recognized that the
value of county exhibit lies in the
fact that it shows the agricultural re-
sources and possibilities of the county
Because of it's educational effect,
county agents are assisting farmers in
getting up the exhibits. Much of the
patriotic work done this past year has
been helped by the county agents and
So of course, they will be interested il
the efforts to prepare exhibits for the
fair. The fair does not come until the
second week in October, but commit
tees are already busy in most of the
counties getting the products in shape
for display.

My dear parents:

My dear parents:
How are you all today? re-
ceived another bunch of letters last
night and happily for me too because
l just needed something yesterday to
cheer me up. I received one
B. A. Fieldon and three from you
last night. You said you had written
me 7 letters and I have rece
so | am short two somewhere. You
The last letter l received from you
was dated June 10, just one month
ago and it requires Just about one
month for a letter to go across and
find its way to the different organi-
cations.
Are you receiving the small notes
| send you. Am sending one of them
nearly every day. Every two days
anyway, they are short but let you
know how | am.
Well the best for the last. | re-
ceived my promotion to Captain last
night The letter came to Sewer on
May % and has just reached me now.
My commission is somewhere in the
mail. | don't know just when | will
get it. This tells me of my appoint
ment and that ! rank from May Fl
but | shall still sign as Lieut.. until
my actual commission arrives, too
bad to have a captain practically 2
months and not know it, isn't it?
But | am very thankful for it be-
cause promotions here are almost un-
heard of unless they had been rec
commended before leaving the states.
That isn't bad, six months service
and a captain, besides these splen-
did courses in surgery ] have re-
ceived.
Maj. N - wants me to put
on my bars now but I'd rather see
the com. then I know l shall be safe.
With lots of love to all, / am your
loving son.
