Estancia, N, Mex, 8-14-1918.
I My Dear Mr.. Constant:
Is there a health officer in Es
tancia? If so is he interested in
tombstone factory or a mar
BILE quarry, or is he engaged in
the undertaking business, or
producing poultry for profit that
instead Of beef scraps he may
use the myriads of maggots that
he may be able to Hooverize on a
flesh diet, thus saving the beef
for the soldiers in France? If
this is his idea of patriotism is
there not danger that as well as
conserving food for his poultry
he may cause a wave of typhoid
fever to sweep our little city that
would cause old Kaiser Bill to re-
joice. If the gentleman is one
hundred per cent American and
not a Stacker Gas it might SEEM
or if it is only a matter of neglect
or carelessness on his part, |
would suggest that right now he
get busy. AT least somebody
should get busy if a calamity is
to be avoided. Zone who sees

HELP THE K. C. FUND

1t is in subscribing to war re.
lief agencies, such as the Knights
of Columbus and the Red Cross,
that the civilian really touches
the hem of the garment of sacri-
| flee. But a nervous, faltering
touch, a delicate dip in the pocket
spells a mighty poor sense of
public and patriotic duty. The
civilian has to dig deep in order
to do anything approximating
worthy sacrifice in behalf of the
nations cause, civilians must
give readily, cheerfully, and de-
ny themselves in order to give.
The men at the front are per-
severing, and perseverance is
the most valuable patriotic vir-
tue which those at home can
practice. Let the Knights of
Columbus War Fund be a chan
mel for the exercise of patriotic
perseverance. 1t is your agent
in ministering to the soldiers
needs.
In a cablegram to Chairman
Callahan of the K. of C. Com
mittee on War Activities, the |

Magnitude of operations of

Force increases constantly the

This is a very beautiful coun.
try, seems to be just one big gar
den. Everything here is so differ
ent from the states. Go out and
can't talk to these people, just
only make signs and point to
! anything you want and lay your
money on the counter and let
them take what they want, or
rather need. Three of we boys
went out over the country Sun
day last and walked all day,
visited several small villages in
the immediate vicinity of the
camp. The towns are so differ
ent in form and structure from
the American towns. There
seems to have always been a
shortage of lumber in this coun-
try, as there is nothing built of
wood. Everything is of stone
and seems to be real old. Was
over to a small village last even
ing, was going down the street
and saw a real Singer sewing
machine in a house, and two1
houses on down the street saw
woman weaving cloth on a hand |

foot loom as she was running it |
with her foot. When we get a |
pay day think l will get a pass to |
the great city of Paris and see
the things | have read of in his
tory. From seeing the people
and their ways within radius
of fifty or seventy-fve miles of
Paris, you could not believe it to
be one of the greatest cities of
the world. Everything here
seems a curiosity. The wagons
have just two wheels, the cars
On trains have four and the en-
gines run backward. All the
