Depth of Snow

During the storm Of the latter part
Of last week a heavy covering of snow
fell from central Illinois northeastward
over portions of Wisconsin and the
lower Michigan peninsula The fall
near the southern end of Lake Michi-
gan ranging from y to Is inches.
High winds and much drifting result
ed greatly interfering with traffic. O.
yer other portions of the lakes region
and Ohio valley northeastward the fall
was much lighter.
Some increases occurred during the
week in northern New England and
at few points in the mountain dis
tricts from Colorado to southern Ida
no, but elsewhere the depth Of snow
on the ground showed some reduction.
A good snow covering now prevails
over the winter wheat districts from
Missouri and central Iowa eastward
over Illinois and portions of Indians
and Ohio, but to westward of the Miss
issippi the ground continues bare over
the great winter wheat sections and
the condition of the crop continues I'M
satisfactory except in the north Pa
cifc states, where favorable weather
has greatly benefited the crop and
the outlook is much improved.
The weather has been generally ia.
vorable for cutting and storing ice
and a plentiful supply IS now being ga.
thered in all districts east of the Rocky
Mountains where ice is usually stored

Editor Leader got fool notion
today that / would write another lit
tie thing for publication in Upton
eounty's best paper, the Leader. l
guess the reason that ] have written
lis, | am a little Of what is called
homesick. You know, it is little
tough on fellow to have to live
in a dry country where there is more
dust than anything else. Well. that
lis Camp Pike, and you can't imagine
what it is unless you have marched
a few days through clouds of dust.
But that is not what / want my
friends back there to know. Here
is the idea: If some of them can
see my name in the paper again
they might take fool notion and
write me a letter And, by the bye,
a few letters won't hurt any soldier.
II "The Sunny Hills of Tennessee"
will cause someone to think of me,
1 shall forget the dust, and 90 on
down the Pike.
Sir, this is the only excuse | have
to make to you for offering another
one of my little poems for publica-
ton. / realize it is a weak one,
but you know lots of good is some
times accomplished through the
weak. Very truly yours,

Dear Editor-If you have space in
your paper for a short note from
the boys who left for camp on July
g, we will appreciate it very much.
We had a fine trip to Fort Thorn
as, but only stayed there two days,
when we left for Camp Sheridan,
Ala, and like this place fine. We
were treated very nice by the Red
Cross of Chattanooga and Birming-
ham. They gave us cold drinks, post
cards and cigarettes, which we all
appreciated very much. And now we
have been placed in the different com
panies Of the machine gun battalion,
which we think we will like fine.
All of US are in fine spirits and
health, and are eager to 60 across
to get whack at the Huns.
We have received several Of your
papers, and enjoy reading them very
much.
Wishing for the folks at home
health and happiness, we remain,
your friends and kindred,
