Donnybrook, N. D.
Dear Old Friend:
The passing of the years, have
driven many of the old recollectons of
past happenings and events into the
background of my memory, but l
must say, and say in all sincerely
that one Of the Incidents of my past
life, has ever stood out clearly in my
thoughts, and that is, the time spNt
in Donnybrook. can remember quite
well, the morning l woke up in that
village for the first time. l was fresh
from the east, and l thought to my
self Just let me get out of this darn
country and I'll be satisfied. How
ever, that was first impressons
only; as the days went on, and
grew more acquainted with the people
and the life, | felt a keen satisfaction
in the fact, that I was there. Never
before, in my life, had I met people
who were so free of speech and so un-
conventional, in action. 1t was Ele true
free spirit of the west. Since then
! have wandered practically, ali over
the continent and in that time, l have
never lost the spirit of the people of
the west. 1t is only too true that the
people of the west, do not understand

Kissing is not misdemeanor at
Long Beach, Calf, according to the
courts. The city council there tried
to pass an ordinance making kissing
in public misdemeanor but Superior
Judge Willis says the ordinance is
void. We wondered why Gov" Bond,
Forest Rice and several other good
scouts spend pretty nearly every win
ter as Long Beach. The mystery is
now cleared up.

A WEEKo

M%inneapolis Journal: Perhaps no
easy an expedient would bring home
quite so forcibly to the American peo-
pie the gravity of the food situation
as the wheatless week that is now
proposed. We have our wheatless
meals and our wheatless days. But too
many of Us FORGET or neglect to OBJ
serve then We are too prone to
leave the making of sacrifices to the
neighbors We salye our consciences
with the sophistry that what we indi-
vidually may eat really makes little
vitingly at hand The cake and the pie
allure us. The breakfast toast, the
hot biscuit and griddle cake beckon
us to their enjoyment. We do not
stop to think of our allies who are
protecting our lives and our institu-
lions when we take from their mouths
the food they must have, if they are
TO stand fast until We can succor them
with our W soldiers. A whole week
of refraining from the purchase or eat
ing of wheat in any form might be a
wholesome experience for us. We
might thus acquire some faint under
standing of what our allies are going
through. somo new appreciation OF
what really easy sacrifices are re
CURED Of Us.
