call for bricklayers. In 1t he says

Pershing wants 1000 bricklayers at

by Section lao will be promulgated

every member of them to give us the

Here Is the course 1t takes as yisua-
liked by Secretary OF the Treasury
McAdoo In his annual report to Con-
gress.
First, 1t goes to the Government
as loan for the war
Second, 1t is expended by the
Government for food, clothing and
ammunition, which so directly to a
gallant soldier or sailor whose fight
ing strength is kept warm by the
clothing, and whose enemy is hit by
the ammunition.
1T has not been expended in the
purchase of needless food and cloth
ing for the man at home, and is
therefore released for the use of
the soldier, 1t Is SAVED wealth to
the man at home and can be loaned
TO his government at interest with
resulting benefit to himself and to
his Government"

My dear friend. l don't know how
TO express my thanks to you for the
nice Xmas package, and | don't be-
lieve 1t could have fallen into any
ones hands who would be more
thankful, for my company is under
quarantine for measles and it Is
raining here most of the time, SO you
see my Xmas was spent inside.
Well, | will try and tell you a
little about myself. | am % years
old. My home where ! was raised is
In Missouri. | left there In 1910,
and went to Caldwell, Idaho, and
went to work for the U. s. r. s.
was In Mountain Home once. ]
stayed there one night and day. My
last home was In Montana. | rode
horses for two years there. Was
called for the National Army the
18th of September. The army life
isn't as bad as some of the boys
picture 1t. For my part am proud
that | am able to go and fight for my
country, and 1t sure makes a fellow
feel good to know there are people
all over the U. s. who are thinking
about you. | don't know as you
will be able to read this, never
had much schooling. | left home
too young, but maybe you will know
what mean all right. / will send
you a picture of myself, so you can
see who received your package. The
boys all received one, but lots OF
them was from some big association
and it seems lots nicer to get some
thing from some one person. This
may tire you so | will quit for this
time, SO thanking you again and
again and wishing the best of luck
to you and yours and hoping we may
meet some time, | am your most
thankful friend.

BEST THEATRE TO-DAY.

As Billy Holiday, "the champion drink-mixer," George M. Cohan, the famous actor-manager, breaches tenn perance in his latest photoplay "Hit- the Trail Holiday" MT. Conan imi- tates the celebrated evangelist, Billy Sunday, whose remarkable pulpit ut terances are we'll known.
 "I regard Billy Sunday as one of the greatest men of the day." said MT. Conan recently. Ut was his en- thusiasm, logic, ginger and magnet ism that prompted me to write Hit the Trail Holiday which was pro- duced at the Astor Theatre in New York in September, 1915. I initiate him in reverent spirit, for believe that this Aircraft picture in which l appear will be of as much service to the cause of temperance as the play itself. All right thinking persons must realize that the curtailment of liquor manufacture, if not it's abolish ment, during the remainder of the war, it is an absolute necessity" also showing the official U. s.
