tirely different and separate organiZa-
lions. In some of the engineer organi-
cations there are several different bat
talions, each battalion having company
destinations the same as companies
Of other battalions. For these organi-
cations it is therefore necessary to
give both designation OF the company

Of the improperly addressed mail
shows care1essness rather than lack
of knowledge of the proper address.
The war department has now under
Amusement a proposition to stop all
incomplete1y addressed mail at New
York, returning 1t to the sender. This
would save a great deal of time and
relieve much disappointment and
anxiety.
With what has been done or lie now
being done to insure the prompt de-
livery of mail, there should be no &C.
casion for delay or non-delfvery of let
tiers to our Soldiers in France IL those
writing them from home will realize
that the slightest inaccuracy or OBJ
security in the address of letter is all
most certain to cause delay and may
result in non-delivery.
Except for delays due to improperly
addressed and occasionally to secret
military movements, letters should
reach the soldiers at the front
promptly.
A letter for an American soldier in
Europe should be SO addressed as to
show his rank. his full name including
his middle name. his company or bat
terry and his regiment, as well as the
branch of service. A letter to John
Walter Smith, ira private in Com
pany L of the 102 Regiment of Infan-
try. should be addressed as follows.

We venture to say that for the neI5
six months prices of all merchandise,
will be firm, and there is little or no
likelihood whatever of the markets
breaking. Surely the piece goods
market will not break.
While 1t Is true some small jobbers
may become panic stricken and re-
lease merchandise which they NAV
have on hand, and while some ready.
to-wear manufacturers who have been
boarding material will let loose, still
the man higher up, the real factor.
the men who control the mills, will
pot and cannot lower prices, because
their output for this period is practi.
cally sold and there is no reason whv
prices should come down during this
period.
AS the cost of raw material and
labor conditions control the ready-to-
wear market, it is no reason why
ready-to-wear garments should be
purchased for. any less. Among
others, these two factors are DON'T
nant, and until such time as these two
causes are eliminated, prices will not
be lower.

in years to come, now that peace has
been declared. We will all be glad
that we tried to do our bit to help
make It 4 little easier for the boys at
the front No r would I forget to
thank the press, who in every instance
have said YES. lis there some

: WAR SAVINGS STAMPS

Even though the war is over we
must still keep our pledges for the
purchase of War Savings Stamps. The
Government is depending on this
money.
Richland County is still 5000, 600. 90
short of its quota and we have only
until December 31st to ratse It. II
you have not yet purchased the stamps
you pledged to buy, do not fail to pur-
chase them as soon IS possible and
buy as many more OF them as you pos
sibly can.
II you have already done all that
you can, see to it that your neighbors
have done their part.
You can't find better investment
anywhere than these Savings
Stamps, and you can turn them into
cash at any time.
I'VE don't want Richland County to
be behind the others in this War
Stamp Campaign We don't want the
boys to come back and find that we
have not done our duty.
Sargent County, our next door neigh
boz, fas alre;aay purchased .r2re thar
its full quota. Richlanl County is
the richest county in the state. Let's
put our county at the top of the list
in the next ten days.

CRETARY NcADoo RESIGNED

,G McAdoo has resigned as SEQ
.stafy Of the Treasury and Director
OF railroads. The resignation Is to
take effect on January first, 1919, or
as soon as his successor can be
named. He gives as his reason for
resigHing. the necessity to recoup
his own private fortune, which has
been sorely neglected during his in.
cumbency in Office.
The resignation was accented by
the President. There is consider.
able speculation as to who his sue
cessor will be.

lantic, and q very Interesting trip
across England in their strange 3rd
class cars. For q short time we
rested at an English seaport where
we got an idea of the English ways.
I enjoyed that stop very much and am
quite convinced that we are Amert,
can and do not even speak the Eng
lish language. Our trip across the
Channel was no different than you
read about every day in the papers.
The long string of transports, the
uneasy little sub+chasers and the
gearing planes assured us that there
was something beside peace and good
Will toward men In the beautiful
land that loomed up in the path Of
the rising sun that appeared in port
at the same hour we did. After an
other rest, We were marched down to
q station at midnight and there we
had our first taste Of troop transpor-
tatton by box car. For three days
we zfg-zagged around through France
and landed in typical French VII
iage which Il located in a'valley
more beautiful than I've seen on this
side of the ocean. Since then we
have moved a great deal by marching,
train, etc. Today we are located tenn
porarily just back Of the lines. It is
in a town that has been in German
hands four times since the war began.
1t shows 1t too. Most of it is a series
OF rock heaps. The remaining build
ings are badly shot up, but now the
American hammer in building up in
crude American style what the Hun
heel crNshed in German style. A
church 300 years old is an interest.
Ing feature. The masonry both in
side and out is wonderful and is all
bedecked with odd sculpturing.
Many shots went through the build
Ing and parts were wrecked COM
pletely. All is badly shattered and
some parts are held up by crude
wooden supports which form so
strange a contrast with the stone and
marble of which the church was or.
igfnally built. One of Catholic faith
could enjoy it much more than anoth-
er. imagine, for to one who does not
unuerstaAG a. sthe significance a. .thc
carving, the inner sculpturing, it is
pleasing only in its oddity. Last
week was one of our most firing ones
for we moved five times. 1 imagine
there are hundreds in the armies who
are appreciating life's necessities as
they never have before. l am a lover
of the outdoors and enjoy fresh air
but I never knew how to appreciate
it until wore my gas mask. We
marched. ate. pitched and struck
tents in the dark and in driving rains
last week. I believe could fully ap-
preciate my room back in Upper
Michigan for few weeks. Some
times we are juggled about in truck.
at night and never know when We are
to be called out and under way again
Now. I believe I'd get more out of "a
hours day than I previously did. I
think Arnold Bennett struck it about
right in his book of How to Live on
"a hours Day" We stand the rubs
we'll though and am surprised at
the small number of kickers we have.
OF course we all want to go back and
the happiest day the modern world
