! am glad to hear that you are
all well and that father has received

airy and that it will amount to 40
per cent, which will mean quite lit
tie sum and should help wonderfully.

A Record to be Proud OF.

Mrs. Susie Faith completed her
term as County Superintendent of
Schools, on September 1, 1918. The
period in which she served is noted
for it's educational progress, as all
her time and energy were devoted to
the schools Of the county, especially
the rural schools. Owing to the in
terest promoted, five consolidated
schools were organized in the coun-
ty in less than five years thus CIV
ing to the rural pupils greater facili-
ties for advanced work and be under
the influence of the home.
Four normal training schools were
established in connection with the
high schools and only three other
counties in the state have that num-
Der. The graduation of the rural
schools was completed last year, thus
enabling rural pupils to move to
town or other districts without disad-
vantage.
The office work, which is no small
feature as all county books are hand
led through this office, involving an
immense amount of record keeping
Mrs. Faith has proved herself
equal to the task. In fact, according
to the reports Of the state checkers,
her records are one of the best kept
in the state and she has been asked
by State Auditor Shaw to give her
methods for the benefit of other Co
Superintendent.
Mrs. Faith has been ably assisted
in her office work by her deputy
Miss Audrey Cronk, who has served
four years with her.
At the coming November election
Mrs. Faith will be candidate fol-
the office of county recorder, having
received the nomination from the
| Democrats Of this county, and il
elected will undoubtedly make as
fine record in that office as she
has done in the office Of County
Superintendent.

we were out in the great Atlantic.
We were 81 days on the boat and

on solid land at Liverpool, England
Many things have happened since
then, but that voyage will always

Aug. ZnQ., 1918
Dear Wife:
Here little Girl, how is my steno-
grapher today? Received a letter
from you today dated July 10. We
got paid yesterday for two months.
Still have month due. / have been
spending most of my time eating
candy, etc. Got it at Y. M. C. A. Can
teen. and Comissery. Bet it would be
interesting if you could hear us talk
ing abount the battle we went thru.
There is not one of us but what had
a hundred or more narrow escapes,
but now all we are afraid Of is Aero
plane bombs at night. It is quite a
scene. Would make good Comedy
picture to see us break up a game,
and make race for acellar and a
hole when we hear them bombing
planes coming our way. Some time
when you look at map of France,
look for Chateau Thiery, Crizancy
Chartienes and several towns along
the Marine River in that vicinity and
you will know where we battled. Look
at the Battle Front line and see where
we drove them, Do you know believe
that battle was something that I do
not believe could be explained or de-
scribed in writing. The preachers will
have to find something besides hell
to preach about to the bunch that
went thru this battle for hell as it
has been described has no horrors for
but no one will ever have to remind
us of the Lord for one who wen thru
without scratch knows without a
doubt that the Lord was with him,
and brought him safely through.
There were many a fellow that
prayed on several different occasions
who had not prayed for long time.
Must close now. Love to all. Kisses
and hugs and oceans of love for you.
Jones and Bunch send their best 73
to you.
