FROM FRANCE

Dr.. s. F.. Smith has received the
following letter from Lieut.. Clyde
Trammell, who is now in France, and
which will be of interest to his many
Lakeland friends:

November 2S, 1918.
Dear Doctor:
Your letter just received today i'll

Fort Caswell. Can't say that I'll write
you from Berlin but l can say that
I am writing from right near where
the biggest battle of the war was
fought. I'm about 100 miles from
Paris and about 40 miles from the
boundary line Of France and Ger
many. We left Caswell on the 18th
of October, arrived at Camp Merritt
and were issued our further necessary
oversee equipment, then marched up
the Hudson to ferry landing which
took US down about ten miles to our
pier in New York City and there we
boarded the Aquitania and left the
next day. This transport had approx
imately 10000 soldiers and 400 officers
besides the ships crew-so you see
we had quite valuable cargo. The
sight Of the disappearing city and the
great big statute of Liberty with a
great big red setting sun in the back.

was really wonderful.
Just after we had gotten out oil

was from shore to shore and hence
we wore our life belts all the time
No one was allowed on deck after
dark and all port holes were ordered
closed. We had boat drills and fir,
drills, etc., and were given six min
utes to get every man in his proper
place on deck. The system was great
We feed all the men on board in al
hour and half.
We landed in the harbor at Brest
France, and this sight, also, will neve
be forgotten. We looked back out tn
Channel and saw thirteen more BIZ
transports coming in flying the Amer
lean flag and loaded to the brim witt
soldiers.

WHEN A NATION wEEPs

Love, laughter and song are normal
attributes Of the human race. People,
whose lives are cast along normal
lines find il easy to laugh and sing
and when the heart can respond to
the above propositions II is easy
enough to love With the average
American there is universal .enden-
cy to laughter and song because Of
the fact Of freedom being preponder-
ant. And when America weeps II
is through feeling Of sympathy for
those who are less fortunate.
We weep today because Of the sins
of a monster who has thrown the
world into tumult through bestial
desire TO rule. Rulership through
force is condition Of mediavalism,
condition that belongs to what we
are pleased to term the dark ages.
And the kaiser, in the face Of all the
opportunity the world has enjoyed
since the days Of Luther has shut his
eyes to the light and is groping in
darkness.

A MATTER OF EDUCATION

Lubbock is known all over west
Texas, and especially the plains coun-
try, as one Of the best towns of its
class in Texas, and that is saying
great deal. as there are very many
good towns in Texas in Lubbock's
class In regard to advertising be-
ing frs, class business builder. the
Avalanche knows what Il is talking
about because the business people Of
Lubbock are unusually liberal adver-
tisers. Not only is this the case in
few Of the leading lines of business,
but it is true in every line, il makes
no difference how small the business
the lubbock man knows that adver-
Using is the channel by which to
reach the people Gazette.
1t is largely matter of education
after all. The merchants here have
been educated to the necessity Of adj
vertising, and the people likewise have
become accustomed to looking in the
paper for the advertisements each
week, so that is becomes necessary
for the merchant to place his ad there,
for the information of his customers,
and the merchants finds that the
newspaper advertisement is the best
advertising there is, the cheapest and
most effectual. hence he continues
each week to give the readers his
best offerings and they appreciate it.
and subscribe for The paper that they
may have before them each week
complete directory Of the business in
stitutions in the city and what they
are doing. The people Of this section
of the country expect the merchants
to advertise, and If they do not they
are not in the swim. and that kind
of merchant does not stay in Lubbock
very long. He would feel like drone
in a beehive. The merchants have
the goods. the prices, and the Ava
lanche furnishes a large congregation
for them TO talk TO each week, and
the readers watch the ads in the Ava
lanche. A great combination, and
it works good in progressive Lubbock.

Nothing matters just now except
to win the war And In order to
