Will write you short letter this

ing paper. had to go about mile
to Red Cross station to get it and
the Boche helped be move faster by
sending few shells over in my direc-
tion. There is very little danger from
she'll as they all make noise of
some kind when they are coming and
a fellow can just about tell how near
they are to him and lie down or get
in shell hole if they are too near.
The Americans are sending about ten
shells over to every one of the Boche's
so it looks like the Hun is all in.
hope so anyway. have seen several
air battles and believe me, they are
thrilling. I saw an American send a
Hun down in flames one day and
then turn right around and help an
other American get Hun bombing
plane; the battles lasted a few min
utes but it was sure hot while it did
last. have also seen several of our
anti aircraft guns get Hun planes and
they do nice job of it when they do
his a plant.
And say, I have the incest bunch of
"cooties", in fact if every cootie on
my shirt was dead Boche I am
afraid some of the Boches would be
killed twice. You know, a cootie is a
soldiers best friend, as he keeps them
exercised so they won't get lazy.
l received my back pay the other
day and have about two hundred
francs to have celebration on when
l go back for rest. Haven't seen
anybody but soldiers for a month so
I am getting kind of lonesome for

GEORGE SWEITZER
DIES IN SEATTLE
Wife and Two Sisters of Deceas-
ed Pass Through Glasgow With
Body Last Sunday.

Glasgow people were greatly shock
ed this week to learn of the death
of George Sweitzer, formerly secretary
of the local chamber of commerce and
recently bookkeeper for the Hinsdale
Mercantile company.
Sunday morning the wife of the de-
ceased with his mother and two sis
ters went through Glasgow with the
body on the way to the Sweitzer home
at Chippewa Falls, Wis, where in
terment is to take place.
A short time ago Mr.. Sweitzer gave
up his position in Hinsdale to go to
the shipyards and about two weeks
ago was taken ill with Spanish in
fluenza. His wife and two nurses
did all in their power for him but he
rapidly became worse and passed
away last Friday.
When his case became critical word
was sent to his relatives, and his
twosisters started west from Minot
and at Bonners Ferry, Idaho, they
received a message telling of his
death and stating that Mrs. Sweitzer
was on her way east with the body.
They met her at Spokane and went
through Glasgow Sunday morning.
Mrs. Sweitzer was formerly Miss
Mary Biddle of Glasgow, and her par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. w. A. Bidle, live
at Galpin, about 18 miles southeast
of this city.

Mrs. Maurice Thompson.

Mrs. Maurice H. Thompson of
Whatley, died Friday at her home
near Whatley. She was i'll about 10
days, being first afflicted with in
fluenza, which later developed into
pneumonia. The physician was call
ed Thursday and she seemed to rally,
but Friday night her condition took
a dangerous turn, and she died as
above stated, about l o'clock a. m. Her
husband is at Camp Lewis, and she
also has one son, Robert, and daugh-
ter, Mrs. Hans Jensen, at Whatley.

has asked me to take charge for this
government of this work; to perfect
and enlarge the arrangements for
foodstuffs to the populations of Bel
gium and France now being released
and to organize and determine the
demands Of provisions to the liberated
peoples of southern Europe to prevent
such debacle as has taken place in
Russia.
The determining factor for the sue
cess Of such an enlarged appeal will
be the vivid consciousness in every in
dividual in each community of obli-
cation and opportunity. It is that
common recognition of obligation,
that we now wish to create. Such an
intelligent "world conscience" in the
American people must be the main
dependence of the stricken countries
of the world until normal conditions
are once more restored.
America by her participation in the
war has accomplished her objectives
of self defense and of vindicating the
efficiency of government in which
the people, and the people only, are
sovereign. She has established the
foundations of government by the peo-
pie throughout the enemy countries,
and this is the real bulwark of world
peace. We have yet to build on these
foundations. No government nor ma
tion can stand if its people are starv-
ing. We must do our part if the
world be not consumed in a flame of
anarchy.
The American people, in this most
critical period of their history, have
the opportunity to demonstrate not
only their ability to assist in estab-
fishing peace nearth, but also their
conservation, by self-denial, to the
cause of suffering humanity.

many lone homesteaders in remote
places are seriously ill with no pos
sible way of getting help.
Word has come to the health au-

where every member of the house
hold were down with the influenza
and no one able to give the others any
care. The neighbors seem to be
afraid of the disease and will not

All of the branches of the Valley

being made throughout the county to
see if help can be rendered.
There have been many deaths this
week and at the present time there
are six bodies in the local undertaking
