FROM THE WEST

Clark Horton of Markham, Wash,
writes to this office as follows:
mo doubt you are enjoying in your
section of the country the prosperity
that the west is having. While we
all deplore the terrible war that is
now raging, there is much left us
here in this part OF the country for
which we are profoundly thankful.
Our pro-war activities here are
probably along lines similar to those
in your community. One exception
probably is the gathering of spagh-
mum moss which the Red Corss uses
as a substitute for absorbent cotton
and in some respects it is better than
the cotton as it will absorb some six
teen times its own weight of mois-
ture."
