FINE RAIN MAKES
FARMERS REJOICE

Last Saturday morning clouds form
ed in the sky and towards noon the
rain commenced to fall, gently at first,
but gradually increasing during the
afternoon. All Saturday night and
Sunday the rain fell in generous
showers, giving the fields much need
ed soaking and causing grain and
grass to leap forth with joy. Before
the rain came everybody felt little
gloomy over the crop prospects, but
now farmers and everybody else wear
a smile that will not come off. Moli-
day and Tuesday were clear and the
warmer weather that can be looked for
now will give the crops now seeded. q
good start. Farmers say that the
wheat is coming up nicely.

GOTFRID ERICKSON'S
HEAR FROM FRANCE

Gotfrid Erickson's have received a
letter from France giving some par
ticulars about the death of their son
Joseph over there. The letter is writ
ten by man who has been in Warren
ana knew Joe from here It IS as fol
lows: -.
Somewhere in France.
.- March 81 1918.
Mr.. Gotfrid Erickson,
Warren, MINI.
Dear Sir:
You will remember me as I stayed
at your house for while and you
called me "Dutchie''''. Ny right name
is Leo DeClodt. / write this to tell
you something about Joe's death. AS
Joe and / was always good friends and
I know you are anxious to find out
something about him. We are in the
same Co. in the same squad. Have
been together every day since we left
. Camp Cody. Was together all the time
at Washington, D. c.
Joe was always in the best Of spirit,
never complained about being sick
except the last couple of days we were
on the road he had a headache. The
night before he died he said he had a
pain in his side and went to bed early.
The'slast anybody talked to him WASH
about nine o'clock. The next day was
Sunday and Joe didn't get up for
breakfast, as some of the rest didn't
nobody paid any attention to him until
about ten o'clock I went in to ask him
how he felt and found him dead. He
simply went to sleep and didn't wake
up. He never stirred all night. He
must have died very easy as I was
sleeping next to him and was awake a
good bit Of the night.
Everything was just as he went to
sleep. I have never heard what he
died with. But expect the government
will let you known in time
The squad which Joe belonged to
has bought you a picture OF the Co.,
which Joe shows very good, and you
will receive it in time.
I write this letter thinking you will
be glad to hear from someone who
knew Joe, as well as his folks, and was
with him when he died. .~
am yours truly,
;. Leo DeClodt."

BRITISH RAILWAY OPERATION.

Associated Press Dispatch.
 London, Jan. British railways which have been under state control since the beginning of the war, have been operated through an executive committee of general managers of railways. The working under one control has resulted in many econom- ics and proved of great advantage to the state.
 Under the original agreement with the companies they are guaranteed the same net receipts as for 1913. Afterward the companies were given allowances in respect of new capital employed. Irish railways did not come under state control till 1916.

It is rumorcd that they will place a candidate in the field, but we are not allowed to divulge further in- formation at this time. l Life's funny thing. A man in one business imagines he could do the other fellows work better. If you live to be a thousand years old, and here's hoping you do, you will find the best newspaper man running store, bankers preaching, farmers banking, preachers newspapering, l newspaper men starving, with all of us better equipped to run the war and pick out place to bring it to an end than the fellows in charge.
