ATKINS LIKES
ARMY LIFE

Private S. A. d. Atkins, one of the
first draft boys of this county, is with
the American Expeditionary Forces,
Co. d., 4th Battalion, Goth Engineers
in active service in France and writes
the following letter to the Herald this
week:
well, l have been in foreign SER
vice for five months. This country
is very pretty at the present time; it
is practically level-in some places it
is rolling-and looks very much like
my native state of Iowa.
"a person can see some queer things
here; the people are away behind the
times; | have seen very few four
wheeled vehicles as the natives use
two-wheeled carts and draw them with
three horses in a string, single file; it
sure made them open their eyes when
Co. ID came and began work with four
horses and one man driving them.
Their harness sure takes the cake (;
it would take a Philadelphia lawyer
to describe it.
I'VE had a holiday on the 30th of
May. Our company is divided into
two camps and we have organized a
baseball team in each. We marched
about three miles as soldiers and then
we had ball game, boxing contests,
racing, wrestling, jumping and many
other sports. 1t was a real 4th of
July without the fireworks and the
boys certainly enjoyed it. 1t was the
first celebration for me since l became
a soldier. l thought it was a hard
life at first but it is getting easier ev-
cry day.
And you cannot imagine what joy it
was to me to look at the old home pa
per and l want to express my thanks
to the person or persons that sent it
to me. 1t is getting late so ! will
close for this time by asking my
friends to kindly drop me a line once
in a while as it gives us fellows new
spirit to get the letters from home. y

Z. l.. Graves VIII Tell of War Work
In France

Ernest L. Graves, representing the
Salvation army in the war fund cam
paign to be inaugurated in Boundary
county in the near future, arrived here
yesterday and met last evening with
the defense council which will coop
crate with him in whatever plans he
may take up.
A patriotic meeting is to be held at
Liberty hall (Kent's halD next Monday
evening at which time Mr.. Graves will
give a patriotic address and explain
just what part the Salvation army has
been taking in the war in Europe and
in the aiding and relieving of soldiers
and the dependents of soldiers.
The campaign of the Salvation army
for funds with which to carry on war
work in France has been approved by
President Wilson, Secretary of War
Baker, the national defense council
and practically all of the state and
most of the county defense councils
The Salvation army has been in the
war from the BEGINNING. It's men are
fighting in the trenches, manning am
balances, working in the hospitals.
preaching in the hutments, attending
the sick and dying and doing every
thing that is required of a soldier or a
civilian in these perilous times. Mil
itary authorities tell us that the huts
are well managed and that those who
manage them do much to preserve the
morale of the soldiers.
The Salvation army women are as
near the firing line as the military
authorities will permit. These de-
voted women are big sisters to the
men in the trenches. They sew, cook
knit, write letters to their friends in
America, and i'll many other ways
serve the American boys at the front
The main point to be emphasized is
that this work does not overlap any
other agency that from the experience
of the Salvation army workers they
can often do things of a certain char
acter and do them more efficiently
than any other body of workers and
the United States government has
recognized the essential and unique
services which these workers can rem
der and commends their support and
encouragement to the people of this
nation.

chautauqua, was held Friday evening
and an organization was effected with

season shall be successful. These
citizens are pledged to sell in this
county 400 tickets, each good for all
the chautauqua numbers during the
six days the chautauqua is here, at
$3.50 each. This means that the peo-
pie of this district will have the oppor-
tunity of hearing the best musicians,
lecturers and speakers of the United
States at cost of around 20 cent. for
each number. Those who have heard
the concert given by the New York

day with the chautauqua, claim that
this number alone is worth the price
of season ticket.
Every citizen of the district will be
given chance to buy a season ticket
at the $3.50 rate and the chautauqua
association of the city is working on
a plan whereby it will secure the CO.
operation of the local Red Cross and
may offer the Red Cross a donation
of 500 if the 400 tickets are sold, re-
CARELESS of who sells the tickets.

SAVE AND HELP
GOVERNMENT

T. j. Jones, director of the W. S. S
sales in, this county, reports that re-
turns n ve been received from all the
school districts of the county but have
made but little change in the figures
published last week, some of which
were based on estimates which are
now substantiated by the pledges re-
ceived
With the exception of the few dis
tricts mentioned last week as having
exceeded their quota, the country dis
tricts average about the same as the
two Boomers Ferry districts, No.
and IA, with practically half of the
quota pledged.
The county executive committee is
very much pleased with the work of
all the soliciting committees and feel
that everything was done that could
be done to get a thorough canvass of
the whole county, Notwithstanding
the fact that the figures show that far
too small percent of the population
have so far signed the pledge cards.
For instance, in District No. 4, there
are only 515 pledges and 1S1 in Dis
trict No. IA. The pledges will be tab
ulated and listed alphabetically as
soon as possible when a special effort
will be made to secure pledges from
those whose names do not appear on
the list. 1t is urged by the national
and state committee that this is a
proposition in which every individual
can do something and they are insist
ing that the county organizations get
practically every name on a pledge
card. the idea being to force upon all
citizens the actual necessity of getting
the habit of saving as we'll as helping
the government in the time of need

no trouble will be experienced keep ing the fire. Even with a very small fire box, pea coal can be successfully burned.
 There is another argument in fav- or of burning pea coal besides the patriotic motive of helping out the coal situation. That is, that pea coal is considerably cheaper than nut coal, and although a little more must be burned to give the same amount of heat in the range, nevertheless the total cost over a period of six months will be considerably less with pea coal than with nut coal
 Last winter a good many people had to learn how to burn soft coal in their furnaces. They found that when soft coal was the only thing they could get, by careful study of it they could find out a way to burn it. The same thing is true of small sizes of hard coal.
 At my home for several years we have had no coal for the kitchen stove except pea coal, and during the late fall and early spring when only a small amount of heat is called for from the furnace, I have used pea coal in the furnace to save the egg coal. This gives a slower fire, and pro obably could not be burned by peo- pie during the very coldest weather in the middle of the winter, but when the weather is milder it could be used very successfully in a furnace, because you can keep a low fire in a furnace, keep it over night more cas- fly with pea coal than with stove or egg.
 T believe that a great many peo- pie who will try this pea coal this year because Of necessity, will never change back to the use of nut coal"
