He was a young man OF splendid
ability and no doubt would have been
of great service to his country if he
had lived.
Today millions of American youths
are giving their lives to save other
nillions that are to live after them.
This was his portion. We who live
because of his death feel grateful
that he and all such men have been
willing to die. The nation is also
grateful to his parents and wife that
they were willing for him to give
this service, theirs is also great
gift.
Owing TO the recent ruling of the
state board of health an immediate
funeral was necessary which made it
impossible for his father to reach
home n time to attend the services.

q REAL LAID RARoAIh

We haev recently got in touch
with and inspected the greatest
land proposition in America. Re
claimed Mississippi delta prairie
lands, the most fertile soil from
over thirty states, which has been
washed down and been in process
of deposit there for centuries.
Located right in the dooryard
of the great market city, New Or
leans, La, with 100000 popula-
ton.
We can sell this land plowed,
ready for crop at 800 to 1925
|per acre, also un-reclaimed land
in wholesale tracts.
The richest soil and the great
est corn land in the world, crops
grow every month in the year, al
SO wonderful stock country in a
fine healthy climate. When re-
claimed the moisture is absolute
ly regulated and controlled.
The incest trip Imaginable, by
way of Chicago, from there we
take fast Panama Limited the fin
est train in the country, less than
90 hours run, two nights and one
day make the trip from here
there, or each way.
Very low rates, stay as long as
you wish, investigate all you like
in your own way, all the privife-
ges you want, stop in the city ev-
cry night, do just as you please
nothing to hide or cover up. The
incest cleaniest proposition thai
lyou have ever seen.
We absolutely have no compe-
tition. The only trouble as a sell
ing proposition, the land that is
Reclaimed and ready for a CROP
this spring is limited and going
fast, but we will have more ready
for next season.
| This is just the opposite from
irrigation, plenty of rain fall ant
the water is pumped off instead o.
on the land, except during a dr.!
time it is pumped back and sub
Irrigated.
i We leave March 25th. Write OF
see us at once for rates and more
particulars. You can't afford Il

Somewhere in France
Dear Mother
We have not had any mail for
two weeks, but they say there is
some at headquarters. l know
there will be some for me when
lit does come down.
Now do not worry about me for
| am feeling fine, just as good as
though l had my right mind. Do
not think about the starting OF
this war just think about the fin
ish. Look at it from the good side.
The ending will be so good, that
we can nearly forget what the
starting cost.
suppose when those wooden
shoed, .wooden-headed Huns lay
down to sleep with an empty
stomach, they utter a prayer
something like this:
Our Kaiser who art in Berlin,
He will make all Nations hail
thy name.
Thy Kingdom will come with
our saher and gun.
On earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us, not our daily bread,
But we will not trespass against
thee.
Lead us into temptation and,
We will do thine evils.
For thine is the Kinkdom and
the full power Of sin.
Do you think this is the way
they have been taught to pray ?
Or do you think they know what
the word prayer means? That is
one word the French people un-
derstand, though in their own
language. Ii we wish to say some
thing they will understand all we
have to say is President Wilson,
they all understand that.
Does it look like the Russians
are through? They may make the
Kaiser lot of trouble yet.
The wind is blowing a perfect
gale that will dry up the mud
and that will be a help as it takes
twenty horses to move one rs
land that is not considered a
large gun. If you could see the
one we move around on the cars
|you would not think the IS were
much of gun. With big one
setting on 4th hill, they could hit
Council Bluffs. There is not much
for me to write about. just so
know you are o. K. that is all ]
worry about. If knew you We're
all we'll, would worry but little
about anything else.
Do not worry about me. Have
not had sick day since the day
