gresham Haugen representing them
in Congress. Some of the greatest
agricultural and dairy benefits ever
achieved in the history of the United
States are the result of Mr.. Haugen's
foresight and untiring efforts in get
ting the desired legislation and the
results have been millions of dollars
more for the great American farmer,
the one class of people who are
making this great war today pos
sibility, as war ridden Europe with
it's dwindling man power and its
entire lack of food, are depending on
the American farmer to feed them.
and the American farmer is loyal to
the call, and are raising large crops,
not only to feed our, own country,
but practically the world as well;
and it is the American farmer that
Hon. G.. N. Haugen has helped, as no
other man ever in Congress, and for
what he has done for the American
farmer, we want to send him back to
Washington to do more for them,
which he certainly will If given the
chance. It is a well known fact that
when the farmer prospers, the world
prospers with him.
| 1t is also a well known fact that
when any senator or representative
| in washington is looking for infor-
nation pertaining to agricultural OF
dairy interests, their source OF infor-
nation is G. n. Haugen, not only is
he solicited for information. but he
| is regarded as an absolute authority.
Hon. G. N. Haugen has not secured
this wonderful source of information
in year or so, but it has taken him
years of close study and observation,
besides being farmer on "a large
scale himself.
That he is recognized as such
valuable authority, is indeed, with
the bills he has fathered and been
influential in passing, a sufficient ana
good reason why he should be con-
tinued longer as Represtative III Con-
gress of the Fourth District or iowa.
MIR. Haugen has also been very In
Auantial in obtaining other needed
legislation, and is quoted by large
number of Congressman, as being IN
fiuential enough to be feared, ana
that there is not any chance TO get
bill thru that is not right, when Hau-
gen is on the job.
Forget not that election is APP
nroaching November 5th-and tnat
tba 4th District must not loose the
honor it has long maintained in Con-
gress and put an inexperienced man
IN a nosition that would make 1t
humilitlting for us.
Right this very day the Govern
ment is crying for trained men, anu
still more trained men, all the
Government wants is trained men 10

 On my first entrance into the organization l was and still am a recruit. The older soldiers whenever peeved always called the younger a recruit, at first you aren't given ntuCiR> notice but gradually you work your way in, so at present l have made friends with most all the men. That doesn't mean they wouldn't fight for you because you are one of their organiza- tion and you always have to up- hold you own organization have fun out Ofyou but no body else can. It is much like being a Freshman in college, but all you have to do is to act right keep clean, and not be selfish and things come out all o. K.
 This regiment of ours is some outfit, it is sort of a pride and joy and beleive me, we are go- ing to give a good account of ourselves.
 1 would like very much to see a good old Saturday Evening Post and Cosmopolitan. Read ing matter of that nature is scarce over here.
 There is certainly going to be a great day when this war is over and Prussianism is trod- u6I Ullucl lOOC. we CdII OC assured that this war will never end until there has been a com plete submission of the German Nation. I have never seen such hatred in all my life as that which these people bear for the Germans and you can't blame them.

MONDAY NIGHTS
 ROUSIN' MEETING.
Patriotic Citizens Join in Coun- cil of Defense Work and Start the "Wo~k or
 Fight Plan."
Citizens Join Sheriff in
 Blind Tiger Raid.

If you have had any doubts about Brinkley citizens getting tired having to bare the shame of wide open town these war times, you ought to have been at the Council of Defense meet ing on Monday night. Thewriter heard of the meet ing being called late Monday evening and went out to get the news.
 There was more news in what went on than I expected. Mayor Greenlee was presiding officer and w. B. Williams was secretary. Sheriff Milwee and prominent Brinkley citizens were present, and everything went in a routine way until time came for finding someone to ex. ecute the orders of the Council
 Right here is where the meet ing got down to brass tacks and the real need of gas masks were in evidence.
 Mayor Greenlee heard Dear old Brinkley'' discussed as a real wide open town where gambling, blind tiger whisky selling, street walking, etc, was told of and specific instances thereof, given by responsible citizens.
 One said see nearly every day, crowds of negroes going out of the negro pool hall where they've been behind closed cur tained windows and locked doors." Another said ''one of my men was in there on circus day and won S75 shooting craps" Another citizen said Eve seen droves of men, white and black, going into the old Archibald factory office and Pm sure it is a blind tiger and that there's whisky being sold there righ now"
 Let's go raid the place righ now while the Sheriff is here proposed one.
 Mayor Greenlee suggested lthe uselessness of this action, but the 'go get it'' fever was there and in less than it takes

 Nv darling mama and dad:-
 Since my last letter to you
 the major portion VI my time has been taken in becoming lec- onciled to our new conditions.
 We are located somewhere else which is just as indefinite as our former position.
 Mother dear, I know you
 wo,,ld like to know just where lam and all that, but it is impOs-
 sibIe for me to tell you and if it
 were possible would not, be- cause as little as you realize at home every little thing contrary to rules which we do, is liable to be determined in the lives of OUT comrades.
 Those at home can never real | ize what is going on and what | is gone thro here-itis as Har- |r Lauder has said, "You have | to be here, and be a part of it.' In your letter which was di- rected to Camp Mills, you spoke ! of the leugth of time since you had heard from me, but no |doubt your next letter which you lean be assured 1 am anXiOusly |awaiting, will state that you re- |ceiyed the notice of my safe |arrival over sea. l can easily |realize your anxiety o'er the sus- |pense of not knowing just where l was or how I was. There will no doubt be lots of times when |the suspense will be hard to bear, but dear ones, there are millions just in your fix. Be like the Spartans of old, be
 brave; it is a noble cause and |One worth sacrificing for. The day Of reckoning for the Ger

 The women soldiers" of the Sun shine Division will enjoy definite ness of war work which they have not had before unless they have be- come members of the leading war work agencies, such as the Red Cross. The plan, which had Its inception with group which composed the concert party headed by Miss Wilson. the pres ident's daughter, which gave concerts in all the army camps, suggests a happy and suitable disposal of the available time and talent of patriotic young women not engaged in definite war activity. Interested persons are being referred to Maj A. F. Oakes at offices of the United War Work Actiy- lties, Dallas, Tex.

| GIGS so l nave serious doubts as to whether they reached there or were held up. There are many souvenirs such as silks descriptions which I would wish to send but which I fear would never reach you. There are lots of things, if l am permitted, am going to bring back to the U. $. A. as souvenirs de Fran cais.
 Mother, do not send me any articles of any description. We are plentifully supplied with clothes to keep us warm, our food is exceptionally good, the few sweets that we do not get and wish, are purchaseable, = tobacco is issued and we have plenty of money so do not send anything besides the chances are 1 would have to leave it be- hind on first move as we have too much to carry as it is, so sweetheart, think of me but do do not send the things and when l get back we will have a grand party and real good things to eat will be consumed with real relish.
 My pay has been increased $500 per month and 1 now wear a wheel as cheyron on the right arm. For the past sometime 1 have been doing the work of regimental supply sergeant who ranks next to a Sergeant Major in a regiment. The work is in teresting and educational as well. l have doubts as to pro motion, besides fel l. 0 w changes his views a great deal after he gets in. The regular army still retains it's traditions of older men in Servivce. l am doing my best and should pro- motion not come 1 will be satis- fled and will have done my bit along with others. 1 had truly rather be an enlisted man than an officer, not that 1 wish to shirk responsibility if given the opportunity but the enlisted man has more hardships and when the time comes, a better time, as much is not expected except that he do his part. l would like very much to become a good non-comissioned officer and understand my work thor oughly. The enlisted man has the same opportunity to see and learn from observation as does the officer.
 Caldwell is in a different outfit to what am in. He is not very far from me and l see him oc- occasionally. Since my arrivavl oversea have not seen a single | friend of mine from the states and I must confess that It IS strange as I have usually met LID with someone that l have l known and l guess l will before it is over.
 I have not been sick Q single day since l joined the army-my work now is practically all out of doors and 1 feel that the exer- l 6rClSG WHICH WC uelNN " S@'
 has been beneficial i'll more ways than one.
 Would certainly like to have one big dish of ice cream ana see an American girl once more. Isn't it stange what a fellow would like? I tell you soldier becomes a queer sort of person and his likes and dislikes are more noticeable than in civilian life. A soldier will eat ana do things that he never would have thought of on the other side. Sure enough l can sleep any where and eat anything bet that in the past thirty days that I have slept on iron,

Community Councils in Idaho

Realizing the need of community
councils in Idaho and following out
the plan recommended by the Council
of National Defense, the Idaho state
council is taking up vigorous plan
of spreading the community council
over Idaho. The first nine months Of
the war have shown the vital import
ance of developing an official nation
wide organization reaching into the
smallest communities to mobilize and
make available the efforts of the
whole people for the prosecution OF
the war
In recruiting for the army and in
enlisting laborers for war Industries
in increasing the food supply and
decreasing the waste of food, in So
Letting subscriptions to the Liberty
loan and in much other work, the end
must be accomplished by the people
at large. The creation of county
auxiliaries has brought the state
councils and the state woman's di-
visions closer to the people and the
valuable service which county auxil-
iaries have rendered indicate, the i'm
portance of even closer contact,
through subsidiary agencies in such
small units that personal contact
with all the citizens is possible.
In some counties community coun-
ellis are already in existence. I'm
less such subsidiary organizations
has already been effected it is recon-
mended there be created a community
council in each school district. The
advantages of the school district as
unit of community organization are
clear; first, the school district is
small enough to permit individual
contact, and is nonpolitical; second,
the schoolhouse supplies a meeting
place in each district, and in many
schools includes domestic science,
manual training and other facilities;
third, the school district reaches
children and parents alike, and in
the cities the school is to large ex-
tent already in touch with the alien
population fourth, the school is an
established center of information and
education; fifth, the school principal
or faculty provides tried agency
through whose assistance community
organization can be quickly affected;
sixth, the school district, with the
schoolhouse as it's center, is already
social community, especially in
farm districts.
