Plenty Of Sugar for Canning, Says
Food Board ~-.-.
Housewives can get sugar in 20
pound lots if they have certificates.
A statement was issued by the Fed
eral Food Board Saturday assuring
housewives that though sugar is
scarce there is plenty for canning
and preserving, which may be Sc
cured in 25-pound lots, and more
whenever necessary, upon the pre-
sentation of certificate stating
that the sugar is to be used solely
for such purposes.
Reports have reached the board
that some housewives are ultra-con-
servative this season in the matter
of home canning because they know
that sugar is scarce" says the state
ment. 1T would be unfortunate If
any fruits or vegetables were per-
mitted to 60 to waste for lack of su-
gar. Housewives are therefore ad-
vised that sugar is available for all
requirements for canning and pre-
serving fruits and vegetables. Mel
ther fruits nor vegetables should be
allowed to go to waste. journal

1t is doubtful if Rock Island will
be represented at the annual re-
union of the Thirteenth Illinois vol
unteer infantry to celebrate the an
niversary of muster in. 1t will be
held at Dixon, May "a. Many Rock
Islanders were members of Com
pany d, of which but six men are
now known to be living. Anton
Deisenroth, 1908 Fourth avenue,
and former Senator William Payne,
are the Rock Island men among the
six. Our ranks" says the notices
of the meeting, ARE getting thinner
as the years go by, and while we
cannot expect a large attendance, it
is hoped that as many as can will
be present with US this year"
The program includes roll call
and registering at 10 a. m, business
meeting at p. m. and banquet and
camp fire at p. m.

Flags in Rock Island are to be

died in action in France while

In accordance with a proclama-

is to be lowered in fitting recogni-
ton of the supreme sacrifice which
he has made.
Mr.. Brown was the second Rock

case of Fred Charles SchaffneT,
when a day Of mourning was set

an opportunity is to be afforded
for this community to pay tribute
to the bravery and heroism of this
soldier who gave his all for dem

probably now on his way to
France. He describes his trip from
Camp Dodge, Ia, to Camp Mills,
L. l., and tells of some Of the in
t~eresting sights to be seer en-.
route.
Camp Mills, N. Y, Aug. IA, 1918
Dear Wife and All:
We left Camp Dodge on Sun
day about 1913 and got here at
Camp Mills on Tuesday at 6
O'Clock in the evening.
Gee the trip was fine, we had
Pullman cars to sleep in. There
were IA coaches on our train and
$40 men on it
On our trip we went through
Des Moines, Iowa, Davenport,
Rock Island and Moline from there
we went to Toledo and Cleveland,
Ohio. We stopped off at Cleve-
land and all Of us took a swim in
Lake Erie.
We also went through Chicago
but it was at midnight. We also
went across the state of Indiana.
After leaving Cleveland we went
to Buffalo, N. Y. There I saw the
big steel mills and blasts fur
naces. We could see the melted
steel running from them. From
there we went to Albany, N. Y,
and then down to Scranton, Pa,
and clear across the state into
New Jersey. We followed the
Hudson river for quite a ways
and cross the Catskill mountains.
We left our train at Hoboken, N.
j. and crossed the Hudson river
by steam boat. While crossing I
saw the Statue Of Liberty, the
famous Brooklyn bridge and also
the Manhattan and Williamsburg
bridges. I also saw the big Wool
worth and Singer buildings of
New York. We could also see the
big navy yards at Brooklyn.
After going up the river a ways
we got off at Long Island City,
Long Island. There we took a
train to Camp Mills.
| wish you had been along for
it was certainly a fine trip.
Now l don't want you to worry
over me as I told you before I am
coming back.

LETTERS FROM FRANCE

The following is a letter from
Ray L. Catlin, a former Hope boy
and a brother of Mrs. F. G..
Meader. The Fargo Forum, a
short time ago, contained the fol-
lowing news item regarding him:
Ray L. Catlin, known to Co. B.
men as "Bronch Buster' of Berg,
was severely wounded and is now
in a hospital in France Private
Catlin came to Fargo and enlisted
on July 31st, 1917 after trying
to enlist in the cavalry at Minot.
He is "a years Of age and a town
in Mckenzie county near his post
office, Berg, is known by his
family name.
France, July 31st, 1918.
My dear folks at home.
As it is a year ago today 1 join
ed old Co. B, Lam going to write a
letter, as I did that day. Altho l
have seen a lot Of country in this
short time I am none the worse for
wear. I have seen a lot Of good old
France and some Of England too
as pretty a country as you would
want to lay your eyes on. Every
place you go you can see flowers
OF all colors and shapes.
The people are all glad to wei.
come American soldiers, every old
lady treats you like she were your
mother, where ever you go. There
are sure some wonderful buildings
here. They are all built out OF
a white chalk stone and you won
der how they can be built. A
church steeple a hundred feet
high, and all stone, no wood what,
ever to support them. One place ]
was in looked like Donaldson's
Glass Block in Minneapolis. AL
glass and white stone and the
hospitals are the same thing.
o surely get treated gOOC
here. The nurses are like sisters
to us boys and they will do any
thing in their power for us, anc
that sure helps some.
Well, I am going to say some
thing of myself. I am feeling goot
as far as can be expected. Ny
hand is in good shape and dom
hurt much, and the beauty Of it is
it is my left hand. It will CONF
out better than Jim McKirchen's
and I can get along with it in goot
shape.-Well, I guess I'll have t.
close for this time, hoping to hea:
from you soon.
