ON A QUIET SECTOR
ED EVANS TELLS OF COMPANY
H DOiNGS LAST MONTH.

Frank j. Evans, republican candi-
date for county recorder of Mahaska,
received letter from his son Edwin
today, telling of Company H life and
affairs in France about month ago,
that will be read with increased in
terest in the light of things happen
ing on the front today.
Somewhere in France.
June IL, 1918.
Dear Folks:-I suppose you are
worrying now on account of the
German drive" Thus far we have
not been in it and it has been excep-
tionally quiet on this sector, most
likely because they have moved
most of their reserves to the big
front But as long as it stays this
quiet | am satisfied.
You remember Walter Clark? /
just received a letter from him. He
is in France with an ammunition
train. l was certainly glad to hear
from him as this is the first | had
heard from him for about three years.
At present we are resting. We are
located in a large woods or forest.
The French have been here before
us and have built the camp from logs
and such material as they could gath
Ell. They have built little huts on
the style of Swiss chalets. There is
some wonderful work in them.
They have also built chapel out
of poles and evergreens. There is
an altar, pulpit and baptismal fount
and everything necessary for the rit
ual of the church.
We have band concerts here every
day and we certainly enjoy them
They are talking of increasing the
band to fifty pieces and if so | am go
ingto get transfer as band leader
| Fiesier says he will take me. sure
would be glad to get back once more
| We have to walk about three miles
from here to get bath. We hike
over, get our clothes sterilized and
remove few of the coolies. We al
so get new clothes in place of those
worn out. They have just installed
this place and this is our second trip
We would think it heaven if we
could rid ourselves of the coolies
permanently, but it is impossible un
der conditions.
We had a fine lecture last night by
a "Y." man who has been all over
France. He told us of conditions all
over the land and about the work
that the U. S. is doing
We enjoyed his talk immensely and
would like to have heard more.
Am feeling fine. Never better in
my life. Write often and tell all the
news.-ED EVANS, Co. H, 1853 Inf.

Soap Kills leafhoppers.

A tiny, active greenish insect,
known as the apple leaf hopper has
been troublesome pest of beans and
potatoes in Iowa this summer. 1t is
sucking insect which drives its beak
into the leaf tissues and extracts the
plant juices.
Spraying infested plants with a
simple soap solution has been found
an effective measure for this insect,
says r. L. Webster, state entomoligist.
One bar (about 10 ounces) of any
good quality soap is cut into small
pieces in boiling water This is then
diluted with s gallons of water, and
applied to the infested plants. Care
must be taken to strike the under
sides of the leaves, for the young
"hoppers" work there
