 Dear Margie:-I see by the tag on my paper that the seventh of next month my time is up for another pay mcnt. We couldn't get along without The Tribune for about all the news we get from home is in your paper.
 We have had very dry year and feed and grain is scarce, Can't be | bought for love nor money
 We had fair wheat crop last year. The wheat brought a good price. It also brought land up some. 1 have sold the quarter section farm bought last spring and bought the half sec tion farm that rented when 1 came to Oklahoma. have lived there ever since and I guess will live here the rest of my days, let it be long or short. To show you the advance of land this farm we are living on sold for $12,000 nine years ago when we came here. We thought it to be good price. paid S1s,o00 for it this fall and l think got bargain. I would not take $20,0 ,000 for it now.
 This is fine wheat country. We generally get fair wheat crop most every year even if it is dry year. We threshed 5,476 bushels of wheat last year. A man doesn't lay under the shade while he does this.
 had TO head of cattle to see after at play time. Pasture is scarce. People sold off their stock this fall. The amount l shipped was three cars of cattle, one car of hogs and thought l would quit the stock business but when 1 begun to round up my stock for winter found had plenty left to feed. 1 had 56 head of cattle, 22 head of horses and mules and about 30 hogs and not much feed so you know it keeps fellow wondering how it may be yet.
 Well, 1 must not take up too much space but will say if any of my old Arkansas friends ever chance to get out this way we would be glad to have them drop in and see where we live and have good Arkansas chat. We are always glad to read the soldiers letters and hear how they are getting along.
 Enclosed you will find a check to renew our paper another year.
 Give my best regards to all my old friends.
 Your cousin,
 Ira C. Goforth.
 Following is an extract from let ter that friend received from Os Fry who is in an aviation corps in France
 'I will tell you d little experience l had about a month ago. It occurred in Paris. We were leaving that place and eight of us hired taxi to haul our baggage and all of them, but me, to the electric cars. 1 went with the driver. When we got to the suburbs a little something went wrong with the car and he got out to fix it. got out to watch him and had not more than got out when six or seven young ladies came along and said 'Ameri- can?' I nodded my head and stepped over to shake hands with them but no. that was not enough. They gath cred around me and of all the hugs and kisses wei! 1 guess 1 got my share. They let me go only when the driver motioned for me to get into the car. '-Alpena correspondence Green Forest Tribune.
 Just what effect the general dis semination of this kind of information at the various cantonments and army camps would have is matter of con- lecture, of course, but the probabilities are the grand rush for France would be on. -Springdale News.
