Dear Father and Mother:
Well, it is pretty close to 1913
now. The Xmas celebrations are
Jail over and we are settled down
to RI ltinc once more. I am send
ing an Xmas day menu and COM

we weren't starved Christmas

My Christmas box came in nice
time. l want to thank everyone
for their nice presents. They are
all appreciated, because I can use
them all. Believe me, certainly
needed that pen Oscars folks
sent. 1t sure is beauty and
shall use il lot. Tell Effie that
her stationery saved the day, as
you can hardly get any at all
here.
Oh, yes, and you should have
seen our dining room. Great big
palm leaves were made into arch

walls. They look like big feath-

LETTER FROM
FRANCIS HsopERbnorr
SOmawhora in Franco

Dear Father:
l received your partnership let
ter. Has Hoover told the people
to cut down on stamps also? Do
you know what we heard over
here? Well, we heard when the
price of stamps was raised one
cent, the railroad men struck for
more pay. They were asked why
they asked for more pay, and
they said on account of the high
cost of living. That is shame
the way the poor railroad men of
the United states are treated.
just look how good the French
railroad men are treated. They
do not know what a sixteen-hour
day means, and when they get in
Off their run, they find two blan-
kets on bunch of straw covered
with the soft white snowflakes.
or course they have the best Of
feed. Each man get a half loaf
OF bread and canteen of wine,
and a little sausage. If he is
lucky to get in on time for sup
per, he gets few potatoes with
the sausage. From AZ a. m. to ~
a. IN. he gets seven cents per day.
Now the high cost of living is
nothing like it is in the States.
Coal is only s85 a ton; eggs 90
cents dozen: butter 85 cents a
pound, and everything else in
proportion. TWo-thirds of these
men have families. The families
live on what the families can
make. It is an everyday occur
renee to see the girls coming in
with armfuls of wood. How many
railroad men in the United States
can make more than any family
i'm France9 There are three wo-
men not far from here who have
been doing our washing. Last
week two of them we're drafted to
go TO work in the ammunition
factories. They told us they could
wash for few, just enough to
keep one. You see they are strik-
ing here. But it is for France,
and against the kaiser, and this
is their fourth year Of war.
This is the worst winter in the
history of France. The snow is
six inches deep and still showing.
Yours with love,
FRANCIS.

Master Bill Gamble,
Missouri Valley, la.
Dear Billie and All:
received. the most welcome
.Christmas box yesterday, and to
say the least, l was delighted to
receive same. Everything was in
fine shape and all comes in han
dy. To begin with, the pocket
knife was just what l had been
wanting for some time. The razor
is also a much needed equipment
which certainly appreciate.
Something seems to be the matter
with the sweets, as they have a
very great tendency to disappear
as soon as exposed to view. /
don think it necessary to waste
perfectly good paper in trying to
express my thanks, as | can't.
One doesn't really appreciate
anything until they are taken
away from it. So it is with the
many friends at home. Many of
us did not realize how much our
friends thought of us, but are
realizing it more fully every time
the mail arrives.
All of the Valley boys spent a
very nice Christmas day and a
much better New Years day, as we
received our Xmas packages one
week late. But it is better late
than never, but never late.
The newspaper today looks
very favorable that Germany is
now kicking her last kick and
subbing her last sub.
Well, Billie boy, how many
resolutions did you make on this
day? can't say that l made very
many, but think it o. X. TO say
that / resolved to get as many
Germans as possibly can. T
guess it would be a good thing to
swear off on drinking water, as I
have an iron constitution and it
might rust by drinking H2O.
Well, l will close for now, as
am getting sleepy and the fire is
getting low. Thanking you all
for your kind presents, | remain
as ever, Your friend,
BRENNAN DOUGLASS.

LOGAN.

Logan, Feb. Especial meet
ings conducted by the Rev. l.. T..
Ripley, assisted by the Rev. w. n.
Graves, have closed at the Meth
odist church here. The six
converts will be given reception
Thursday evening.
Special meeting, with the Rev
w. N. Graves in charge, assisted
by the Rev. Mr.. Ripley, will begin
at Magnolia next Sunday evenin8
and continue for several weeks.
The presentation of a flag, OF
flag services, will be the CHEZ
feature of the morning meeting
at Magnolia next Sunday.
Fire of unknown origin almost
destroyed the S. f. Cochran ten
ant house occupied by the j. A.
Morris family here yesterday aft
ernoon. A purse of $40, together
with some house furniture in the
upper story were burned, also a
certain amount of clothing. The
loss is estimated from 81 900 to
$1,000. No insurance on the
household goods, light insurance
on the residence. The frozen con-
dition of the hydrants made it i'm
possible for he local company to
|extinguish the fire when first dis
covered.
According to information re-
ccived here The Persia public
schools have closed for this week
because of intense cold weather
land shortage OF coal. In the
event that coal arrives this week.
The Persia school will begin next
Monday morning.

LETTER FROM JOE RILEY.

Dear Mother:

., al q.
Dear Mother:
Well, l will write you and let
you know all about my army DAYS
and what kind of work we have to
do through the day. The day
starts with first call, 5:15 a. M,
outside reveille, put rifles back
in our tents, feed horses, then
back and stand chow call, which
is probably some hash, spuds.
bread and coffee. Then police up
inside and outside tents; then
fall out for mounted drill. which
lasts all morning, and we sure
nave to ride our horses-over
hurdles and jumping bitches.
Sometimes our horse won't lump
a ditch and the Captain gets i'm
back with quirl; then he sure
jumps and don't hesitate for a
minute. Once i'm while some bird
falls off and breaks an arm. then
he is on sick report and stands
no calls until he is marked for
duty.
After mounted drill we groom
our horses for about an hour.
then feed.
Then we have a few minutes
left to eat our dinner. After din
ner we fall out for dismounted
drill. First comes first aid, to
show us how to take care of our
comrades when we get into real
action. After that we have an
hour or SO rifle drill on foot, in
which we double quick and right
shoulder arms all at the same
time. After that comes an in
fantry drill with bayonets on our
guns. After bayonet exercise it is
8 O'Clock. Then we come back,
feed and water our horses. Then
at $3.50 we clean our rifles and
police up on ourselves to stand
retreat. After retreat we don't
have anything more to do until
l.5:f5 in the morning.
That's the way we are passing
our days. Some day, EN-? Tell
Chris that when he first gets his
recruit drills he will have to step
