Dear mother
1 know you are.wOndering Why
you don't hear from me. but l
will tell you since 1 have been
up here at the front we can't
mail our letters after we write
them. / write a letter and then
carry it in my pocket till | al
most wear it out before | have a
chance to mail it. We move so
fast our mail clerk can't send it
back. l don't think he tries
very hard. We havn't had any
mail since we left camp. wrote
you about the time we left camp
and have written you once since,
but l don't know whether it is
on the way yet. III could just
get mail and was sure that you
were getting mine, l wouldn't
mind being up here so much.
However, we are not having as
easy time as we did before we
left camp. It's hard to get any,
thing to eat or drink. / have
been sleeping most every place,
but it don't seem to hurt me. l
havn't felt bad since l have been
up here, only get so tired and
sore from walking-sometime
we walk all night.
We have lots of excitement. A
big drive started last night and
they sure are making the Ger
mans 60 some. We can hardly
keep up with them. If we keep
this up about one month longer,
l think it will all be over. l
guess you see the papers oftener
than / do, but what few | have
seen looks good. Sometimes we
read about things that are not
true. but / know that the most
of it is. / know we are advanc-
ing all the time, because it keeps
US moving all the time. l wish
| could tell you lots more but
can't. I havn't anything how
ever, that is bad to tell. but
would like to tell you some OF
my experiences.
1t is real sport to watch a Ger.
man airplane come over and
watch the guns shooting at it.

Brigade Hy., for a few days.
This is farther from the front

The rats kept me company some.
Two or three times l woke up

l thought l would get to 60 back
to my Co., today, but don't look
like it now. I have never been
in gas attack yet and hope I

it is not as bad as l thought it
would be. They don't use it as
much as they use to.
What is everybody doing. l
sure would like to see all of you.
l dreamed the other night that l

The Adair County News
AS we have been in the SER
vice of Uncle Sam and are from
Adair county, we thought a. let
ter would not be out of order to
the News. We left Columbia,
May 10th, last. From there we
went to Fl. Thomas, Ky. Drew
our soldiers outfit there, and af-
ter two days, we went to Ches-
ter, Penn, and stayed there 80
days. Then.we went to Camp
Mills, Long Island, N. Y. There
we were put on the M. P. job,
and we stayed their four months
and we sure did have a fine time
there. Then we came to our
camp, Greenville, S. c., among
cotton fields in the sunny South.
There are lots of soldiers here.
About forty thousand white and
colored. We have lots of Ken
lucky boys here. About -
Adair county boys. Among
them are Welby Rail. Sam Mil
Ter, Everett and Ivan Morris,
Martin Rowe, Waller Bennett,
Bryan Garrett and others, all of
whom are well and looking fine.
We are all expecting peace to
come soon, and are coming back
to Adair Co., to see our friends.
Will say the army life is not so
bad as you boys have heard and
think it is, so guess when you
will understand more than we
write. Wishing everybody well,
we are.

Five States Report.
Five states reporting today on yes
terday's draft registration of men of
is to as showed totals between six
and seven per cent greater than the
estimate made for them by the pro-
vost marshal generals office. Officers
of General Crowder's staff said, how
ever, that the 100000 grand total
expected would not be overrun to
that extent as the states reporting
probably had abnormal labor con1i-
tions. ~.
General Crowder this morning was
greeted by officials of two local boards
in Philadelphia who had completed
the work Of giving serial numbers to
the registrants within their districts,
and brought the lists to Washington
in person.
The first reports came from Rhode

sofa, Oregon and the District Of Col
umbia. {.
The figures probably will not be
made public until they have been
checked and corrected. ~

HAS
PLAN TO THANK:
U. S. CITIZENS
individuals Will Write from
t England Telling Benefits
of Conservation.

New York, Sept. 13.-"Jenny Jones
Of Grand Forks, want to make you
| acquainted with Alice Brown of Shelf
field; Eng; here is letter from her,
thanking you for saving food so that
she need not go hungry. invite you
to write to her."
This, in effect, though perhaps not
by the use of those words, is the plan
adopted by United States Admins
traitor Herbert G. Hoover, to convey
; the thanks of English school children
to the children of America for help
ing him to conserve food for the bene-
fit of English girls and boys.
Mr.. Hoover has brought back from
London many thousands of letters
from the British boys and girls and
his plan is to send at least one letter
Ito every public school in the United
States.
! The letters were delivered to Mr..
Hoover during his recent visit to
London. Two motor cars were re-
were written by individuals while
others were signed by the children of
a whole school; so that the total rep
resented the thanks Of hundreds OF
thousands of British children.
| The editor of the Teachers World
| presented to Mr.. Hoover deputation
of English school children and told
! the American food administrator that
the letters were heartfelt expressions
of gratitude to the American nation
which had denied itself to provide
England with food.
II will very proudly distribute these
letters among our American schools y
replied Mr.. Hoover. II am quite sure
that they will form one of the most
effective links possible between the
| people of the two nations. Each one
Of them will be priced and 1 will see
to it that not one of the thousands of
schools scattered throughout our coun-
try is left without at least one of
them. They form a heap of real treas
ure, and should have a very far
reaching result.
Il feel that too much is made of my
own part in the American endeavor by
addressing all these letters to nae per-
sonally. for really the thanks should
go to the American people. There is,
however, something very beautiful and
inspiring in the thought underlying
them and for the American people I
thank each one Of my correspondents
heartily
For some time the school teachers
in our country have been organized
on this work Of food saving and ex-
cellently they have carried out their
important share of the task. They
have taught our children to leave no
effort untur4ed to save food. with the
result that the whole nation, young
and old alike. are Concentrating upon
this endeavor. Specially have the
children of people Of moderate means
put forward every exertion to this end
and almost to a family each of these
children is practicing the utmost self
denial. In this great pile Of letters I
think we have excellent material for
q second stimulation next year.
Though, Of course, it will be Inn
possible for each Of my correspondents
to receive q letter direct from me in
reply. Will see to It that he or she
will receive letter Of thanks from
some little school childfin America. I
trust that out Of this correspondence
many lHe-long friendships will arise. q

Washington, Sept. 13.-Football
programs for this fall at colleges and
universities with army student train

had been authorized. On the con-
