Hauled Ammunition In Chateau
Thierry Sector.
The following letter is from
Clinton S. Ryan, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
w. Louis Ryan of this town, who is
attached to an ammunition truck
train and has been seeing some ex-
citing times along the battle front
in France, notably in the Chateau
Thierry sector where the German
got his first real taste of American
lead, and has not since been able
to digest the steady diet dealt out to
him by Uncle Sans boys.
Sept "a, 1915
Somewhere in France
Dear Mother:-
l received your letter today dated
Aug. 4th, also one from Pearl and
father dated Aug. 18th, and one
from Mrs. McNamee and Miss Mary
Haines and do not understand why
you do not receive more of mine as
I have been writing every week,
except once it was two weeks that 1
did not write on account of being so
busy. The last letter l wrote was
dated Sept 10th, two days before we
moved from the Chateau Thierry
sector. l was there during the
Marine drive hauling ammunition to
the Infantry and Artillery and saw
some awful exciting times.
When we moved we were four
days on the road and passed through
some large and beautiful cities on
our way, and are again as busy as
ever hauling ammunition, so you can
see that is why l have not had a
chance to write sooner. l can not
tell you where we are located, only
chat 1 am UP at the front somewhere.
The way things are going and the
number Of Germans taken prisoners,
l do not think it will last but very
few months because they have begun
20 realize that they are up against it.
1t is beginning to get more like
winter now. Have had lots of rain
the past two weeks and the roads
are pretty sloppy in places and gets
pretty chilly at nights, but We have
plenty of clothes, also boots and
arctics, so 1 think 1 am fitted up
pretty we'll for wet and cold weather.
Well will close hoping this finds
everybody we'll, as it leaves ME the
same. With love to all.

Give Nut s!1s.is
For the Front

''Shell out!" That phrase usually
means that the Red Cross or the z.
M. c. A. or some other worthy or
ganization Ia after funds wherewith
to carry on. 1t is the Food Admin
istration which uses 1t now-but this
time it isn't a slang term for give
money" It means exactly what 1t
says: "Shell out"
A drive is on to collect nut shells
and fruit pits to make charcoal for
the manufacture of gas masks. A nut
shell used to be considered whole
lot less useful than the shell of an
egg The war has revealed a whole
lot of things, and today the humble
nut shell stands forth as saver of
lives. 1t is the Sammy's defense
against the poison of the Hun.
Hotels and restaurants are collect
ing them in their own kitchens, while
many have installed contribution
boxes for the public to drop an odd
she'll or fruit pit into.
All persons are therefore requested
to save the pits of peaches, plums,
prunes, olives, dates and apricots and
the shells of hickory nuts, walnuts,
and Brazil nuts. While the saving
Of pits and shells may seem trivial,
1t is an important contribution to the
war which can be made without sacri-
fee or expense.
All pits should be thoroughly dried,
and the meat in the nut shells re-
moved. 1t is suggested that in the
home pits and shells be laid aside in
box until there is an accumulation,
and then turned in at those hotels
and restaurants, which will have re-
ceptacles for them.

Save Waste Paper.


Waste paper of all kinds can be
used in making new paper or paper
boards. All the chip board from
which ordinary pasteboard boxes are
made is manufactured out of mixed
waste paper scraps gathered up in
the stores and other places. News
papers make better grade Of board
known as news board. Strong wrap
ping paper mixed with sulphate pulp
are used in making test or strong
chip board from which shipping con-
tainers of all kinds are made These
are taking the place of wooden
boxes, thereby conserving the
forests.
The fewer grades of waste paper
such as old magazines, books, sta
tionery, etc., are sorted out, deinked,
and used again in making books,
writing and other grades of paper.
In making bonds and ledgers, ETC.,
considerable quantity of rags is
necessary, the supply of which is be-
coming very scarce. 1t is imper
alive, therefore, that all rags be
saved Every household should
save all of it's paper and rags as we'll
as old rubber, leather, etc., and dis
pose of them to the school children,
Red Cross, Salvation Army, junk
men, or other collectors, so that the
supply may be kept adequate to
meet the demands of the Govern
ment and other essential uses.

Chemical Fertilizers And Live Stock.
Strange as it may seem to some
of our Western readers, the use of
chemical fertilizer has started many
farmers into live stock. We have
number of cases where farmers
took poor, WORKOUT land without
grass enough on 100 acres to FEED
six cows. There are many such
pieces of land right near town where
dairying would pay fairly we'll. A
fair share of the land was broken up
and planted to potatoes, millet, soy
beans, corn and oats and peas, all
being well fertilizcd with a complete
mixture. The potatoes helped ray
the cost, and the fodder crops filled
the barn and the silo. The next
year and the following years the
manure from this fodder, with phos-
phorus and some nitrogen added as
chemicals, took care of the soil. The
crops increased and the soil grew
darker and richer. We also know
of cases where hay and straw are
sold year after year from farms
where practically no stock is kept
Cover crops are plowed under and
lime and chemicals used freely.
Such things are quite possible. They
are being done. 1t is not always
the best practice, but during this
war and afterwards many of us will
have to change the habits and
methods which have become a part
of life.-Rural New Yorker.

Are you sure the chimneys are
safe from cellar to garrett?
See whether any mortar has be-

Examine stove pipes to see
whether they are free from rust.
Where there is rust there may
