Young Mems Club Pass
 Strong Resolutions

If you are not soldier or doing something to help main- tain the soldiers, then you'd better be getting your bearings, judging from this:-
 Resolutions adopted by the Young Mems Business Associa- tion at their regular meeting Tuesday night, April 30, 1918.
 Whereas: Our country is now actively engaged in the most gigantic struggle that has ever confronted mankind, and in order to prosecute same to a successful conclusion, it will be necessary to call to the cnlors the many young men of this country to supply the different military and naval branches. And,
 Whereas: A great majority of men so called are taken from useful avocations, such as farm ing and manufacturing. thereby creating a shortage of labor much needed. especially on farms. And,
 Whereas: Much labor so need ed can be secured by compelling all able bodied men that have no useful avocation to seek work.
 Therefore be it Resolved: That the Young Mems Business Association, of Brinkley, Ark, in session duly assembled this the 18th. day of April, 1918, ask our county and township officials to begin a campaign at once to round up all parties not engaged in some useful avocation and see that all such parties have a chance to help in the great struggle now going on.
 Be it Further Resolved: That each member of the Young Mems Business Association, of Brinkley Ark, lend their aid to the ut most, that the officers may be successful in performing their duties in this and all other matters.
 Also made preparations to build a new bridge at Piney. As soon as the material is on the ground a day will be set aside and en- deavor to build bridge in one day.

BRINKLEY SOLDIER
 NOW IN FRANCE
Sergeant James II. Elliott Writes Interestingly of
 Life "Over There.

ihS 4OiiOWA WAhS iCeSCl ACOShsty received from Jimmie" Elliott who enlisted in the Quarter Mas ter Corps last fall and sailed for France two months ago will be read with interest by his many friends in Brinkley:
 France, March 18th, 1918. My dear wife and mother:
 Am here at last and am quar- rantined in some old barracks which were, from their appear ance, built before Jerusalem was discovered. altho' we get to eat plenty and as the water is good I'll fare very we'll.
 My darlings this place is some place; have to go to bed at 2 o'clock as there are no lights in our barracks; the only way to get hot water is to stand in with the cook and you may get as much as a cup full and a cussing thrown in for good measure. I am always out of luck for sight seeing as I am always quaran- tined.
 The war is on as you may have read, and is on in a great way and greater than 1 suspected. The conditions of France con- vinces me more so than the news that the war is on. There are no men here unless in uni form. All the women do the work around here, They have long since taken the place evac- uated by their men. I cannot tell you very much, only small incidents that may happen around here or wherever I may go. Some France, now take it any way you wish. France is beautiful and the buildings and surrounding scenery. etc, are odd yet profoundly beautiful. Il think America is beautiful, too, but was just telling you. Lice are very plentiful. No, lice is not French word. It is pure American word and they are animals which when they bite they itch. We call them cooties. Lots of pets, eh? We took a bath yesterday. Can you i'm agine it? A bath is not as loose around here as the lice are and Il think it wonderful that I had a chance to take a bath. 1 had my clothes, shoes and hat off last night for the first time it seems in ages.
 We spied a couple of subma- rines or tin cans on our trip. Il am sure they were tin cans. Lots of rumor and fictitious news floats around in the army at all times so didn't believe it and don't want you folks to believe it either. We had a hard trip. cold and a high wind most every day and as luck would have it's way did not get sick. got dirty because we were packed and damned into the boat. This war is not very far off and the boys are giving them HELL as we say mot for you to say-but they are sure moving the Huns down like corn. The boys are all enthusiastic and there is no
 
 reason why they should not be. This Is a stricken country and a helping hand toward others makes us feel good. you know. The French are very accomodat- ing and polite and l like the sur roundings very we'll, only the conditions are awful for them to go thru. They smile tho and stick very friendly to their tasks and we must compliment them on their perseverance. Germany is to pieces now. The war is on
