LETTER FROM TOM coYLE

/ letUerS aJ once. OOme were SIX
weeks old but you bet your. letters
never get too old for me to enjoy
getting them. | got a little home
sick when | heard Of the bunch GO
ing fishing and 1 had to laugh when
you wrote that you hoped they
would catch a whole lot. The idea
of that bunch catching lots of fish
is joke. | hope Mr.. Trip didn't
catch pneumonia or la grippe. 1
know they had a good time and !
also know they didn't catch any
thing worth cooking We have gone
fishing once but we just threw in a
few hand grenades and up came the
fish. Big ones too.
II has not gotten cold here yet
and don't think it will be near as
cold here as in the States, but / am
figuring on coming back before
long, but of course / can't tell as
the Germans are hard to beat. We
have them on the go now and we
will never stop unless the boches
give in.
am in a quiet place now except
Fritz throws over a few at night.
He came very near getting us the
other night, so we shut off the en-
CINE and flew the works. A few
'iron rations" came over tonight
but they did not hit close to us.
About half the shells of small cali
bre g inches) failed to go off. 1t
may be that Fritz is short of high
explosives but he has quite few
yet so l am going to be careful and
keep an eye peeled. Tell those girls
down at Sharpsburg that I'll be in
soon to see them. l forgot to tell
you l was growing me little mus
tache. 1t looks just like some one
had hit me in the lip with fever
worm but it is real handy for strain
ing soup. work with a fellow
from Kentucky and we have been
trying to figure out how we are 60
ing to make living when we get
back. l think l will take in wash
ing as that is about all 1 have learn
ed in the army except to keep my
mouth shut when things don't suit
me. A lot of us have learned our
lesson all right and if I am not
mistaken boys will be cured of all
their bad habits and learn a few
good ones. There are lots of fine
boys in the army and a crook has
no chance in most outfits. When ]
get back and if you catch me out of
the city limits you can break my
noodle. I've Travelled enough for
the whole family and will have lots
to tell you when l get back.
Those old men you heard talking
had better stay at home and let
"George" do the scrapping as this
life over here is sure rough on old
clothes. By the way l forgot to tell
you l had feas. Something had
been biting me so I took a look to-
day and aired my clothes. / found
one that would run a dog into fits
1t was one l got out of a German
dug out and he had a big sign on his
back, "made in Germany" so just
pinched him a little and he followed
'Kamerad." / just frightened up on
him the same way our boys are DO
ing old Fritz. My head is itching
and 1 am afraid to look at the
comb. If the weather stays pretty
I think l will take a bath in the
Spring. Get me?
Well, had better ring off for the
present so here's hoping you are
still well and that it wont be long
before / can come back TO the good
old Kentucky home.

Senator Kendrick has been advised
by the Navy department that he will
be authorized to nominate one princi-
pal and three alternates for the naval
academy at Annapolis, to take the ex-
animation in February or April, 1919.
Any Wyoming boy who is DESTROYS of
becoming a candidate for these exam
nations should write Immediately to
Senator Kendrick, giving his full name,
the date of his birth and his height and
weight.
Candidates must be between the ages
of 16 and 20 in the year of the exam
nation. Full information concerning
all the requirements will be forwarded
by the senator upon request.
Candidates who pass the examina-
ton will be appointed midshipman and
admitted to the naval academy. The
pay of a midshipman is 5000 per year
and is sufficient to meet all his ex-
penses while at the academy.

candidates whom he had nominated for

MULE DRIVERS WANTED.

The mule is such a peculiar animal
that it requires al especial kind of
man to manage him. The wal depart
ment hat there has been no
trouble in getting men who can manage
horses, but there is a great deficiency
of men who can manage mules. There
are three classes of these men needed,
those who care for the mules, the mule
packers, who are expert in. packing
mule trains, and the pack masters, who
boss the job. All three have been ur-
gently needed for the mule trains of
the engineers.
The mule experts are natives of the
region west of the Rocky mountains,
and before all future needs are met a
recruiting campaign may be necessary
in the western states.
Any man who has raveled over the
plains in the early days knows hat
putting a pack on a mule so that it
will stay, Is a scientific job, and that it
takes about as long to become expert as
it does to go through a college course.
The mule trains are an absolute ne
cessity in the engineer corps. There is
nothing that will take the place of the
mule. A great many have been pur-
chased in Spain, but it is universally
agreed that there are none hat will
equal the species known as the Mis-
souri, mule. They are not only used
for pack animals, but they have no
equal in hauling trains.-Omaha

My Dearest Mother:

today. They are all mother letters
with me, but this is Mothers Day.
There are sur a good many mothers
wondering about their boys today, and
every day for that matter, but we all
hope to be back with ours before very
much longer, or anyway before another
Mothers Day, for 1 think we will have
the kaiser trimmed down to where he
belongs before a great while. Then he
will find out what terrible things he
has done to ali the world and to his
own poor people.
We had some more rain today. We
were going to have a baseball game,
but it was too wet, 80 we will have 1t
some other afternoon.
The fall grain here is up about like
ours is when we cut it, but 1t is not
ripe yet. The clover here is pretty-I
never saw so much of it before. The
fields, of course, are much smaller than
ours.
1 am sending you a little bcok-a
mother. book given out by the Y. NJ.
C. A. There is good reading in it and
it sure is the truth. No matter what
happens, it is always mother that is
with us, in trouble or out. She is al
ways helping a fellow out.
1 have always tried to do my best,
and am doing the same here, mother,
even if we are a long ways off. We
are doing our best to show the world
and these people here that we have
mothers at home and have been raised
right-that we are here to help them
and to see that our mothers and wives
don't have to suffer in the future. At
home they are doing a great deal for
US, giving and sending to us all the
time. When we get home we will have
the grand times, dear mother we will
just visit and eat all the time, won't
we?
l am smoking a real American cigar.
1t sure tastes good-one of my favorite
kind.
Guess 1 have written about all there
is for this time. Will likely get a let
ter from you tonight when the mail
comes in. Will close for this time, with
lots of love from your soldier boy in
France, ANGUS.

GETTING READY TO
COUNT HIS PEOPLE.

Uncle San is getting ready for the
fourteenth census. In 1920, besides
electing a president and vice president,
the entire house of representatives and
30 senator's, we are going to count the
people of the United States, and also
the people in our various possessions,
which include Alaska, Porto Rico, the
Canal Zone, Hawaii, the Philippines
and Guam. And it may that the CEN
sus will also include a large number of
soldiers still in France, or let us hope a
long way into Germany, If they are to
be abroad two years from nov.
The taking of the census has become
much more than simply counting the
people. In addition to securing the ex-
act population, we now gather every
ten years all kinds of statistics relat-
ing to production of all that can be of
use in h way Of information as to the
growth and conditions of the country.
