Dear Mother and Dad: I am sure
the happiest kid in California for |
passed the examination and was the
highest in the class, my grade was
ninety. 1t sure was hard examina-
ton. They say the machine gun ex-
animation was the hardest ever given
in the school. It's no wonder some
of the boys flunked and was sure
scared stiff for fear. / might, but l
tell you it paid to study like 1 have
and the extra studying did during
Christmas vacation helped too. We
get up at six and do not have an idle
moment till ten at night when lights
are out. We are either drilling or
studying but 1 am feeling fine and like
the service and the country. It's a
beautiful place here and the people
are just fine to us so free and hospit-
able. We have the finest bunch of
fellows, all clean, bright men and all
so interested in the work and anxi-
GUS to make good and learn to fly
so they can go over to France.
You know our barracks are situat-
ed just above the bay and look out
over 1t, and in the evening the fog
creeps up from the bay and it gets
pretty chilly. Then the big fog
horns on the big ships begin their
booming. 1t sure made me pretty
lonesome when first came out here.
especially when / was out on guard
duty in the middle of the night, but
don't mind it now was invited

in the price az corn resulted today
from low temperatures and from
prospects OF snow. Besides, recelpls

moderate setbacks, chiefly in the act

"A jazz band with a trombone man
who could blow slur yard long
struck town last week and his pres
ence served most poi@nantly to recall
the defeats of life. Your first ambi-
ton was to be slide trombone play
err in a circus band, and after that a
bareback rider. You tried both and
failed, and in the end cast covetous
eyes on the job of the high-wire man
and failed again-also fell. There
was a shift with the years and finally
the presidency of the United States
seemed satisfactory enough in way of
compensation. At 25 you aspired to
write the great American novel, knew
the precise girl, or thought you did,
who would fit into it, and now, in adj
dition to the vain wish that you might
be able 10 smoke as much as you would
like to without taking the thumps,
care only to live long enough to be
able to pay back the money you bor-
rowed to buy War Savings Certili-
Gates and get hold of some yellow to-
mato preserves that will taste like
those yon used to cat when boy.
Others laundering for the job can ilIn
the blooming world and mess it if
they want to. There is an occasional
regret, purely sentimental, about the
girl, but the cry of a passing baby
quickly dispels it. The descending
curve has its compcnsations, some-
times even its inspirations" The

There were something like fifteen
amazed and chagrined men in police
court Tuesday morning paying fines
for speeding and running cars with
out proper lights. Some of them were
never in police court before and new.
or will be again for they intend obey
ing the law hereafter. Some Of them
were leading men of the town who
knowing the police were care ess had
become careless, too, and were unning
without tail lights or impropr" head
lights. Others were speed laniacs
whose idea of a paved street i place
to burn up the earth. Chief S 1T de-
cided TO take hand and try , regu-
late matters so he stationed T. ee men
out on the upper end of Ward Avenue
one block apart. As an offend would
roll by the first one he sign led tie
next one and the driver was rested.
They all appeared in police { urt the
following morning where witt one eN-
ception they were fined $50 ard
costs, amounting in all to $ll OF this
sum, SO was rcmitted and each Of
few such sudden surprises and car
drivers may obey the law Caruth-
ersville Republican.
A few such amazed" and "chag-
rined" men in the police court OF
Pennington would "help some" in
causing them to pay more heed TO the
law against reckless and unsafe driY-
ing on the public highways, and bring
them to at least slight realization
that other folks have as much right
to the use of the thoroughfares as
have the auto hogs.
