FROM CAMP SHEFFIELD.

Well, dear friends, 1 will pick up
 my pen once more and drop you all
 a few items from this camp. Though
 the items may not be very interesting
 reading, yet they will serve to noti-
 fy you all that I am not dead yet. nor
 have I forgotten the good old Pu- laskian, though 1 haven't had the pleasure of reading the dear old paper since l left my 4ome in Arkansas last July. I hope. however you are all en- ioying life to the fullest extent Or in other words, to the extent that these trying times will permit I am on the job for Uncle Sam, though 1 am not on the firing line over in France. Our work is more or less dangerous, for when we start to work in the morning we do not know that there will enough of us left by night to tell what happened, as one little mistake by any one of us at certain time would cause all of our lines to be snuffed out in the twinkling of an ey. However, we as a company ask no sympathy from any ole; we are only doing our duty to the best of our ability as every true American should do. But we do ask as a company of co-workers that you all not only ex- tend your sympathy to the boys over on the firing line, but do all in your power to assist them, for they are the boys that are doing the real sacrific- ing. They are bearing the burden of this war, and we ask you as a Chris tian people to pray to the God of the Universe, and to pray with a sincerity of your whole heart and mind Pray that the God of wars may protect the boys over there and that it be His will that those of them that may be permitted to come back home again will be permitted to enjoy the rest of their days in happiness and prosperity in world of peace and liberty. And we hope it won't be long until peace comes. So everybody put your shoul- der to the wheel and push forward lo hasten the days of world peace and happiness. I can not tell much about camp here for I am not permitted to do SO There are two hundred and fifty of us here. We are living in Pull man cars located on a switch not far from Kansas City, Mo Our camp is healthy, not a case of sickness in the company, and there have been but two cases of sickness since I came, and they were more home sickness than anything else. We are getting plenty of good grub to eat and nice beds to sleep on and we are not l crowded, for there are only three boys

 Dear Mother: It has been four months today since left you. Have been wondering what you were doing today Don't think I'll be away from dear old home" SC very much longer.

SAVE THE LIFE O. A COLDER.

Miss Minnie T. Allen wishes to re- mind all the boys and girls in the county that seven pound of nut shells will make enough carbon for one gas mask, which may save the life of a soldier.

IN TIE FIRE-SWEPT
 FOREST OF ARCONNE
Pulaski Heights Doctor Falls Victim
 to Bursting Shell of Hun.


 Dr. s. c. Boyce, whose residence is on Pulaski Heights, after six months of warfare in the front line trenches on one of the bloodiest battlefields of the present war, is now in a hospital, where it is reported it will take at least two months for him to sufficient ly recover to get out again.
 In letter to his wife, Mrs. s. c. Boyce, 512 Palm street, Dr. Boyce gave a hint of the horrors of the dreadful field of carnage where men are moved down as scythe mows grass, where cats creep out at night to prey upon the dead and the stench of unburied Huns is almost unbearable at times. He mentioned the continuous boom of artillery and the shriek of shrapnel that goes on uneeasingly night and day until it would seem every human being must soon be dead
 But the American soldiers who are in this battle do not think of it's hor- TOTS, nor do they feel they have lived or fought in vain even though they know the wooden box and unknown grave is to be theirs, as Dr. Boyce says the women and children of the Homeland, as well as those of Eng land, France and Italy will be saved from the unspoken fate of womankind in the hands of Huns, and justice and decency shall at last prevail.
 In letter of later date, Dr. Boyce has taken his photographs from his dugout wall and with a roll of French bank notes, handful of hardtack and some cigarettes, was ready to move at momen's notice. He was sleeping in hob-nailed boots and with a gas mask tied under his nose. He said, If 1 were in some unimportant place 1 might be permitted to tell my loca- tion. Our division has never been al lowed to tell it's location Just look up the places where it is hotter than Hades, where the earth trembies all the time and where you look death in the face night and day, you will be sure to find us there in the thick of it.
 The next letter received was written in a strange hand. It came from a base hospital and said, Have been in the big "doings" and got shell wound in my right leg and in my left forearm that are mean and will keep me here two months. Have small wounds and bruises over my entire body I was wounded the morning of the 29th at 8 o'clock Was operated on that evening and arrived in the base hospital this morning. The op- orator was a first lieutenant, Yale man. Thanks to his good sense and good training he left both wounds wide open, so there is very little danger of gangrene. Had tetanus antitoxin on the 29th. This base hospital unit is as good as they get in the known world. The surgeon who attends me is splendid. I have well-trained nurse-will have the best attention
