a L x, French Girls Letter

Mrs. Flora E. Frazier, whose
young son, Claude, is in the
band Of the 158th Infantry
the First Arizona-in France
has received the following mis-
sive written on a picture postal
card and enclosed in an envelop !:
Madam, your son Claude, is in
very good health he has been in
my mothers house during few
days he leaves (lives) in the
cathedral and play music in the
yard near. He his (is) now
leaving Qiving) near us. A
little French girl. Yours re.
spectfully. Suzanne Paultre. :"
Claude writes that the little
girl is very fond of her knowl-
edge of his language and asked
his mothers address so that she
could "write her one letter in
English" She is particular to
give her address," hoping no
doubt, to receive a letter from
The far away mother of the boy
who "play music in the yard, :"
meaning, perhaps, the yard of
the old cathedral shown on the
card.
In his letter Claude tells his
mother that the band plays
every evening and after the con-
cert the French girls gather
around and they spend the re-
mainder of the time dancing.
Few of the boys know a word of
French and the girls, of course
speak no English but they all
manage to have a good time.
Claude says they talk with their
hands, mark out diagrams in
technical converse. He adds
that should any one Of the boys
have an arm shot off "his
French would be but a memo
ry."

Eyes Of the World Centered on the Balkan
A BIG APPLE CROP.
Orchardists Selling the Fruit to
Tighten Weight on Trees.

Pat McCarty, the Camille or
chardist and rancher, was in
the city yesterday taking orders
for apples and succeeded in sell
ing large number Of boxes
He was selling them at SITS q
box delivered on board at Elgi7,
the boxes weighing about forty
pounds. He was compelled to
dispose of the apples at this
time in order TO tighten the
trees which are producing so
prolifically this year that thare
is great danger of tree damage
if not relieved Of a portion OF
the fruit.
1t appears that the apple and
peach crop of Santa Cruz coun-
ty is this year unusually large
and the fruit is of excellent
flavor and free from defects
James Brash, the "apple king"
Patagonia, who has an orchard
of six acres near that town, also
has a fine crop of both peaches
and apples. He has paid some
attention of these crops for sew
eral years and states that his
crop this year is an extraordi-
narily large one.

Would-be Builders in Dilemma

The government restrictions
in regard to building operations
will destroy the calculations Of
a great many Nogales people
who had planned to build houses
for various purposes. A num-
Der of large business buildings
which had been projected will
probably not be built and many
pieces of uni,nproved town
property will of necessity re-
main as at present, calling for
the payment of taxes without
any income as an offset. Noga-
les has had steady progress in
the building for some years
and the restrictions ordered will
be severely felt.

Moving Out Cattle.

Today or tomorrow cattle
shipments from the Babocoma-
ri grant will begin with the
sEiDment of Al cars to distant
pfsturage. The long dry sea-
son in that section has materi-
ally shortened the grass supply
on that range which has been
for some time overcrowded
with cattle even for favorable
season.
1t is stated that a large num-
ber of cattle will also be shipped
from the Babocomari range to
the Baca Float grant, in the vi.
cinity of Calabasas and Tubac.

three sons with the American expe-

days ago he received newspaper

sons, whose home is in New York

SAILORS LETTERS.
IN UNCLE SANS NAVY.

To the Readers of The News: |
have seen from time to time in the
columns Of The News interesting de-
scriptions Of army life and accounts
of the many and varied experiences
which the men from around town have
passed Il ROUGH. have always taken
the greatcst.pleasure in reading them.
| hope you will find the same amount
of pleasure in reading the following
lines describing few of my naval
experiences.
The first question sailor Is asked
is. We'll, how do you like the navy"
My reply is always an enthusiastic
"Splendidi' Indeed | think the navy
is very much better than either the
army or the marine corps. I'll give
you few of my reasons for think
inc so, and then when | am through
see if you won't agree with me.
In the first place it is the best paid
branch of military service. This fact
alone would no doubt appeal to many
Then, too, the chances for a young
man to advance himself are limited
only by his own ability and enthus-
iasm. He can learn and learn thor
oughly any trade which would be OPP
en- to him in civil life. There is cleo
tricity which | myself took up; tele-
graphy, copper, silver and gold smith
ing; stenography and accounting
printing; machinery; engineering
and even medicine and pharmacy
If you become skilled in any trade
your salary is increased accordingly
Our comforts, too, are more numerous
than soldiers enjoy, For instance we
always have nice warm place &c
sleep no matter how fierce a storm be
raging without Isn't this much bet
ter than sleeping in tents close to the
damp, muddy ground? We never
have to wait for the eommissary
trains to come up. Our food We car
ry along with US and it is always tas-
tily prepared We eat at tables like
gentlemen with real china plates
knives and forks and spoons almost
like what we are used to at home. We
have no sixty pound pack to carry
about on our back All cur belong
ings we keep in sea bag which is
nothing more or less than large can
vas bag.
Aboard ship we have every eonven
fence to be found in a large city
There IS a post office, tailor ant
barber shop, and a general store call
cd a canteen at which candy, cookies
magazines, toilet articles and man,
other articles may be obtained Clean
illness is absolutely essential. Their
are plenty of good shower baths fo'
the Csc of the crew.

papers, ink, typewriters and files
thrashed about the deck in utter con-
fusion: waves dashed over he highest
deck. Indeed a storm Of such proper
tions is rare thing even in winter
time on the Atlantic.
To make matters worse our supply
of fresh water gave out and we were
four long days without drinking
water. Our flour, too, was nearly
gone and we had to eat bareback. We
finally reached port after thrilling

But we do not always have such
hardships to endure. On one of my
other trips across while still engaged
in transport service we had excellent
weather in all respects. How nice II
is to sit up on the boat deck in nice
balmv weataer which the gulf stream
produces and feel the engines throb-
bing far below in the bowels of the

can see a shark or whale and very Of
ten playful porpoises follow the snip

the warm waters. Curious punches
of tropical sea weed abound. Then
the excitement and expectancy when
smoke or sail is sighted on the hor-
lion to find out what kind of a yes
sci it can be and to what country 1t
belongs. | think one of the prettlest
sights | have ever witnessed was that
of the fleet steaming out IN single file
from the harbor of Guantanamo Bay,
Cuba. There as far as eye could
reach was ship after ship with the
black smoke pouring from their fun

morning sun standing N reli4f AGAINST
the blue of a cloudless sky. 1t is at
such times as these that you are glad
to be alive.

tages Of this branch Of service to that
of the army; | have tried to be fair III
every respect ard not blind yoE to the
duties and hardships involved but on

them. If any of you VINO read this

ion it is a grand life and if the var
is still going on when am paid off |
