when there are more children they
will be prepared to take care of thei:
education. They now have a good

the land is located. People who may
buy this land will have the assurance
that they can have good school II
they have the children and want
school. !:
We ere sorry that this deal will

soon on my way back, 1t was a
Journey never to be forgotten.
I turned my prisoner over 10
stretcher bearers with orders to nave
his wounds dressed and then bring
him to headquarters. Being unable
to sleep I roamed for the remainder
of that day and the next.
Late on the afternoon of March :.
received orders to report to a Ger
tain place the next morning at :
o'clock. I was little late, arriving
and found the battalion OF infantry
that I was serving with during the
raid in the field. AS 1 came to the
front in answer to my name the pat
talon came to present arms and the
prime minister of France, in the pres
ence of the French commanding gen.
eral of the First Army, and his staff
and of our commanding general with
his staff, came up to me and decorated
me with the famous "Croix de GueT-
re" with palm, the palm being the
highest order of the Crois de Guerre.
I know that no one has ever been so
surprised.
In the midst Of all this embarrass-
ment were seven moving picture ma
chimes clicking in my face assisted by
countless cameras. Then I had to tell
my life history a thousand times 10
newspaper reporters. I was glad,
tickled and oh! so tired. I could sleep
then and I did.
Please. excuse the different paper
Aunt Frank and write to me as soon
as you can. Give my love to all and
send this letter to Papa Watts to read.
if YOU want to. kiss the girls for me
and lots Of love to you.
Sincerely,

over to rose garden which would

bronze fountain and a pond Of lilies

on two sides from the street is one OF
the finest hedges of evergreen to be
found in the whole South
Nearly all the park furnishings are
rustic in style Three bridges of un-
trimmed cedar span the willow bord-

it's name. Rustic seats and swings
are scattered over all the place, and
springing literally from bed Of
flowers is the band stand which also
