columns OF the News, therefore I take
the liberty OF sending n few lines.
thinking perhaps that some OF our
many friends OF old days would be In
terested to know OF our whereabouts.
We are two miles north OF Sioux City
on a 400 acre farm; II Is a new place
just completed for n dairy farm. The
buildings are all modern and strictly
up-to-date in every way. My husband
Is manager. We have from four TO
six hired men regular. and often ex-
ira help. They have their own bunk
house to live In. We are doing our
part toward farming. having under
cultivation $50 acres OF corn. 80 acres
of oats. with plenty OF hay. war garden
and potatoes The crops are looking
fine. The rainfall has been plentiful:
all day today for the 9Th which has
been very disappointing TO our young
sters.

find better opportunities open for US
here. although we love old Kentucky
in the same old way.
We receive the News regularly ev-
cry week and We greatly appreciate
the news from home. although We Of
ten read something that Is sad TO hear
and brings tears. yet we can only ex-
pect sadness in these trying days IL
was through the columns OF the News
that we first learned OF our brother,
J. y. Compton being called into tie
service OF our country. This certain
ly is a time when we should all stand
together and help win the war BY do
ing our part over here. We have two
girls. Shirley. age 10. and Freda, age
seven They are very patriotic. Both
are Junior members OF the Red Cross
and each owns n s1o9 Liberty bond.
and 500 worth OF W. s. 8
| think that those people who refuse
to help the Red Cross must be ignor-
ant OF its cause. for who could refuse
to give si.00 when so many are Civ
ing their lives.
We had a scene in Sioux City last
Saturday afternoon that we thought
the worst disaster we ever Witnessed.
yet it Is only a suggestion of whatlo our
boys are facing every day on the bat
tlefield- The scene Of which I speak
was the collapse OF three buildings
a drug store, a grocery and a meat
market An explosion followed set
ting fire to the ruins. The loss was
estimated at $4,000. The loss OF life
was 40 including men. women and
children. A number was rescued after
being entombed for seven hours

extend our welcome hospitality to

Plainly MFR. Cobb brought back evil

the Allies and even the Hun clearly
recognize the part which the President.
as the leader OF the Allied nations. Is
playing and will play in the war.
The difference between the spirit
OF our men ana the Splits OF the Tight
ing men OF France and England Is that
the American boys, as l stated. are
fresh. They are younger and have not
gone through the most terrible strains
which could be visited upon humanity.
The men OF France and England are
war weary. They are not tired OF
fighting. When fighting is the thing
to be done. they fight like heroes. But
they are weary OF the crush and bur-
den OF war. the seemingly never end
ing hustle and jostle OF the grim game
In which they are engaged. They are
as men who seek rest. but who go back
to the fray with renewed vigor and UNI
selfish sacrifice because that is their
supreme duty. II this is true OF the
Allies. how much more true must IL
be OF the enemy troops.
