A Letter From

The following is a letter from
Thomas Estes, written to his parents
Mr.. and Mrs. J. B. Estes:
England. April 16. 1918.
Dear FoIks:-
Just came back from mess so will
try and write few lines.
| This has been a very bad day. driz-
zling rain all day and snow on the
ground when we got up, but this is
the first day of real bad and disagree
able weather we have had although
il has been worse than II could have
been several times, but they say the
best year for a number OF years.
We played the Canadians base ball
Saturday at their camp. They came
after us in two large trucks. 1t being
about five miles, and We sure had
some time, the best / have had over
here: honest to goodness U. S. music
and the game was fine although we
lost to o. They had some leaguers
playing on the team and we had two
of our lieutenants playing with us,
one pitching and the other first base
and they sure played good.
1t seemed awful good to be with
them as most of them are from the
states. we had supper with them and
lutu out II thtiC
was anyone asleep on the road we
sure would have awakened them.
One of the fellows had a little silk
American flag and he put 1t on
stick and held it in the air all the
way in and we sang and hollered ev-
erything we knew and 1t sure made
a fellow feel proud to be under the
old stars and stripes as we always are
foe curse, and are glad to show 1t ev-
cry chance we get.
We have been treated very good
since we have been here by the Tom
mics and have made good many
friends as we have to work side by
side with them in the shops and 9TH
er places of training we have.
Well, wonder how every little
thing is over in the states as we don't
get to hear very much except the let
ters and haven treceived any papers
for over a month and sure would like
to get them.
Things sure are scarce over here.
You can't go into a grocery store and
huy what YOU want to eat as every
thing is rationed out and whoever
gets eats has to have a card showing
what they are entitled to, but we can
get tea and cookies or cake and such
stuff as that at the canteen and we
sure keep 1t busy when 1t is open and
that is one reason a soldier can't save
any money and all the chocolates
YOU can buy is two ounces for cd or
l &c. so YOU see chocolates are not so
easy to get either: when you go in a
tea room and get a cup of tea. choco-
late or coffee 1t is "sugarless" and
that is worse than your sugarless
days.

WOMAN IN CROSS

San Francisco, May 2.--Those who

cross country runner would compare
with her brother athlete in the matter
of time over a given, identical course
have had their curiosity satisfied. The
annual modified marathon over the
Dipsea trail, a distance of approx
mately seven miles, has been negoti-

at something between so and 55 min
utes. The winner. of woman's race
over the same course which was held
recently completed the distance in one
hour, eighteen minutes and 4S seconds.
This womans race, which is an in

14h were officially recorded as finish
ing. The Dipsea thail leads over a
mountainous country and is consider
ed one of the hardest courses of it's
length in the country. The fact that
every girl that finished
was in good shape and could have con-

SOV|ETS To RULE
THROUGH RUSSIA
(BY Associated Pressl

New York, May 2--There is no
of foreign aid has the last chance of
overthrowing the Soviet or Bolshevik
governmtnt, declared Professor E. A.
Ross of the University of Wisconsin
in a report which he has just made
to the American Institute of Social
Service. The institute sent Professor
Ross to Russia last year TO study So
cial conditions in that country and
to try to establish relations between
Russian and American social institu-
tions. e t4 70 u,
'The Cossacks have ceased to exist
and the bourgeoise are impotent to
do anything for themselves" wrote
Professor Ross. "The estates, no
doubt, have been divided among the
peasant communes and nothing but
foreign conquest can tear them from
the moujiks.
with the masses so ignorant and
inexpert in organization, and the state
corroded with graft and inefficiency
inherited from the old regime, one
cannot imagine public capitalism sue
ceeding in Russia. Such an expert
ment should be tried only by more
developed people. If low productivity
and waste cause the things produced
by the factories to be very scarce
and dear, the disgusted peasants may
in time lose faith in the Trotzky-Le-
nine program and throw their support
to a party that believes in private
capital and individual enterprise.
"Russia will never be able to free
herself from mass poverty, unrest
and explosion till she adopts, with en-
pie safeguards of course, the system
of individual property in the soil.
81 am often asked the question
whether Lenine and Trotzky are not
agents of Germany. I have no means
of knowing, but / found no one who
in private conversation avowed such
belief. The bourgeois newspapers
were full of such charges, but the in
itiated paid no attention to them. Let
me observe, furthermore, that these
leaders are responsible for everything
Eey do to a delegate body of $50

OTHER COUNTIES
PREPA AIRING FOR
LABOR SHORTAGE
Communities in Central and Northern
California Have Laid Plans for
Getting Men for the Harvest, but
Imperial Seems Oblivious to the
Acute lack of Farm Labor.

That California must make stren-
uous effort to recruit farm labor to
meet the harvest needs from every
available source is an absolute GER
tainty in the opinion of State Farm
Labor Agent R. l.. Adams of the Uni
versity of California. AS result
of a carefully conducted inquiry into
probable needs and available supplies
for the 1918 season in estimated ad-
dition to available labor now in sight
must be forthcoming to the equiva-
lent of $4,000 men for the "peak load"
harvest needs.
To meet this need, according to
Adams, will require the services Of
every man, woman and child able to
assist in the harvest fields. He points
out that "full utilization Of all avail
liable supplies or importation offer the
only remedies. Importation of cer-
tain amount Of labor able to work in
crops requiring hard work of 'stoop
nature and in the less favored To-
calities may be necessary. Under
present conditions this must be Mex
lean labor.
importation Of this labor strictly
for agricultural purposes is possible to
those able to undertake the moral and
financial obligations imposed by the
Department Of Labor This can be
done, however, through cooperation
with an association formed by the six
Southern California sugar beet com
panies, with whom my office is CO.
operating.
Fully as important as importation
is the necessity of using every avail
able home supply-high school boys,
women, city dwellers, retired farmers
for such work as they can do.
Farmers cannot be too forehanded in
making arrangements for their help
and those whose work will permit the
employment of our people will per-
form patriotic service by using them
to release regular hands for works and
IN sections not able to profitably en-
ploy emergency labor of this sort"
Napa county feels that her own la
Dor problem has been largely solved
by arranging to close her schools in
May. They will open early in July
and continue until farmers commit
tee sends out word that the school
children are needed. Six weeks va
cation will then be declared. In adj
dition, one hundred and fifty busi
ness men Of Napa and one hundred
of st. Helena, with promises of fully
as many more, have volunteered to 90
into the fields for a weeks time on
days notice. The Valley Fruit
Growers Association of Fresno is ar
ranging to recruit several thousand
people from Los Angeles and vicinity
and to transport them to the vine
yards for the harvest period. Vaca
vile, at recent meeting, took the
necessary preliminary steps to inves-
tigate the possibilities of utilizing the
patriotic offers of certain wonen's
organizations to go into the fields.
