SURMISINGS OF JAKE


Our mutual friend, j. E. Leather
man, is down in Florida and "seein'
things, but he does not forget the
friends he left behind, and one of his
occasional letters reached our desk
the other day. Jake has way of ex-
pressing himself and an photography
that is refreshing taken in MOD
crate doses-and, unlike Horace
Greeley, his writing is legible, even
to the office cat-if there was one,
which on account of the necessity OF
Hooverizing in this office "there
ain't!" For the benefit of those whose
faces are not frozen or are beginning
to thaw out, we give some extracts
from Jake's latest letter sin the orig

LEARNING TO FIGHT IN THE AIR

In letters received from Darby
Kenyon since Christmas, he tells of
receiving packages from the Wauseon
Congregational church, Boosters club
and other Wauseon friends in time to
make his Christmas far away from
home folks a happy one, because he
knew that the home folks were think
ing of him.
That "lilling time" is no part Of
'the days program for a Flying Cadet
with the r. F. c. is attested by Dar-
by's testimony that he is up every
morning, shaved and polished before
daylight, and oftentimes has the priv
ilege of seeing the sun rise from sew
eral thousand feet up in the air.
Darby has completed his training
with the S3rd Squadron r. F. c., and
is now taking his final courses in the
School of Aerial Gunnery at Camp
Hicks, Fort Worth, Texas. In speak.
ing Of his final work with the 83rd
Squadron, he says: 81 was fairly for
tunate and got by my work pretty
good. Took 18 pictures of different
things from the air; did my bombing
and got two hits out of four; carried
on a shoot with the artillery anc
passed the first time and passed other
tests equally well. Here lin the
School of Aerial Gunnery) we frst
pass off eight tests in the armory
which | finished this morning; ther
AZ tests on the range, and then oul
air work, which consists Of fighting
with camera guns with another ma
chine, firing at a target towed by an
other machine, and diving at target
on the ground. It's probably the mos
sensational Of all ones training, fo
you have to stand up in a -turret ol
the plane when using the Lewis gun
With the Vickers gun you point tn
machine; the gun fires through tn
propeller. OF course | am getting n
flying during the ground work and
am Just as we'll satisfied, for it ha
been terribly cold lately.
I wish | could figure on leave som
time before / go overseas, but | hav
no idea when it would be. | am $
near a commission now that ! woul
rather wait and take leave, If tAul

Darby writes that he expects to fiji
ish his final course in the School {
Aerial Gunnery in about two or thre
weeks. He will then receive his con
mission and be ready for assignmer
TO active duty.

LETTERS FROM over THERE


The following extracts from letters
written by Ray Emerling, somewhere
in France" to his brother, George En-
erling, in Fulton county, Ohio, will
be of interest to Rays many friends
here, who are glad for every bit of
news they can get from the boys
Overseas"
Under date of December 4, he
writes:
Dear Brother:
l received your letters o. K.
There were some pictures, too. l
suppose you have received letters
l wrote just after we landed here
Well, how did you spend
Thanksgiving? l suppose you went
hunting, as usual. l spent it about
as good as could be expected; we
had a big turkey dinner, and also
goose. i We have Just got
our Y. NJ. C. A. tent set up. We
had our first snow the other day,
but it didn't last long; it was all
gone by night. You tell Hank that
l will write him a letter some of
these days when l get more time,
for | am not much afraid of him
coming over here and pulling my
ears; it is little too far for him
to reach. I am feeling good, and
you know that is all that can be
expected. You ought to see the
hills around here; some of them are
like mountains. I suppose the ole
town is just the same as usual; how
is Aunt Cora getting along? Al
this country lacks is tobacco; you
can hardly get it at all, and the
French tobacco you can't use, for il
is strong enough to knock bull
down. Viii have to cut this letter
for we are going to sign the pay
roll, SO good-by.
RAY.
Under date Of December 10, Ray
joshes his brother, George, on a pie
ture which he had sent, calling then
'rat scarers," as there has not beer
even rat in their barracks since
it was received, and he asks for {
few more to be sent over. Ray writes
l suppose you have done you
Christmas shopping; I have no
done mine yet, but expect to go tt
Paris to do it in a couple of days
There is only one thing I want an,
that is plenty of tobacco, which il
very scarce here. If I had plent!
Of tobacco l would feel right a
home. I was helping one of tn
farmers through the other day ant
when we got through he gave M
bushel Of big, rosy apples; yol
ought to have seen the boys in m,
squad dive into those apples! Well
I guess I will have to make thi
letter short and snappy, just lik
yours. Good-by.

HOOVER URGES
MORE SUGAR BEETS

Food Administrator Hoover urges
a greatly increased acreage of sugar
beets next year. This is very prof
table. crop to grow on land that is
suited. Sugar is one of the most
priced articles of food by soldiers un-
der arms. 1t will be both a profitable
and patriotic duty for all who have
sugar beet land in shipping distances
Of sugar factories to plant beets next
spring. The essentials to a profitable
crop of sugar beets area sweet, deep,
rich, fertile, well-drained soil, prop
erly balanced plant food, early plow-
ing, a fine well-ftted seed bed, early
planted seed of a heavy yielding va
riety analyzing high in sugar contents
together with proper thinning and suf-
fcient cultivation to keep down weeds
and preserve soil moisture.
i Beets do well on any fertile, loamy
soil, having deep suhsoil. A heavy
sod is not best for heets. Too much
fresh manure produces beets of low
sugar content. Well rotted manure
may be used if available, together
with commercial fertilizers. Beet
crops should be well fed for biggest

Of plans and methods The Woms rs
Council is the only organization
which sends the reports Of all the
other organizations TO the govern
ment and il works along definite
lines laid out by the authorities and
the church works among its own
members in its own way and the
work is coordinated and harmon
lied by the Council Of Defense.
The work in the county at large is
very important and it is hoped to ex-
tend the work to every woman in
the county who wishes to do war work
and find the work which each can
do to the best advantage. The few
who are not willing to sacrifice the
time or work can then be reached By
a public opinion which will compel
them TO sit up and take notice, for
that class are in a decided minority
and the willing ami patriotic can
compel more by creating public opin-
ion than in any other way. The
