June 6, 1918.
Dear Cousin: s...
1t seems a long time since have
heard from or seen you, although il
has only been couple of months.
l suppose that the summer work is
on full blast back there, isn't it?
/ had a letter from Stella saying
that you are having very dry spring.
The letter was month old of course,
which can hardly be avoided scOnsid.
ering the distance we are away from
home. Has Joe left for the training
camp yet? l suppose Iii see him
over here some day. ill.,. 49,. ~
We had a fine trip over the water,
spent few days in England and then
came on over here. England and
France both are very beautiful places
think. This army stuff is the same
old dope every day, nothing much
new. News here is scarcer than
hens teeth.
Well, l think I've said about all
there is to say so had better close be-
fore l say too much.
A letter addressed to me headquar.
tiers company, 325th infantry, will
reach me all right and sure do want
TO hear from you. Give my best re-
CARDS to your folks and answer soon.
As ever, your cousin, IT,.

FROM RAYMOND GARRISON.

The following is an extract from a
letter received by Mr.. and Mrs. T. ].
Garrison from their grandson, Ray
mond E. Garrison, member of the
Hospital Unit K, of Council Bluffs,
commanded by Major Macree. Ray
mond has been in France since last
January and is now, as will be seen
by his letter, on the extreme front
line.
Zone of Advance.
June 81, 1918.
"Well, am only a short distance
from the front at this writing and
can hear the guns booming almost
constantly. We travel here by truck
and in sc hours after we arrived, we
had everything in the hospital ar
ranged and we're receiving patients
and that certainly is quite record.
We only receive surgical cases and
after proper attention and all neces-
sary surgical operations are perform
ed, we send them farther back, so as
to give room for others who are need
ing immediate attention. We never
hold a patient here more than 4S hours
at the most We are supposed to &C
commodate 200 patients, but have had
more than that number many times,
and believe me, we have been working
day and night.
1--WE had little excitement here
the other night when some German
planes came over and our antiair
craft guns opened upon them. |
jumped out of bed in record time, and
donned my tin hat 1t was interesting
while it lasted but our guns quickly
drove the enemy planes away and not
a bomb was dropped on US. AS | un-
derstand it, quite a number Of Deni-
son boys are near me and have
been watching closely, but so far have
not been able to find any of them.
Next month l get my gold chevron
which 1 wear on my left sleeve and
each chevron indicates six months for
eign service. When one is wounded
he is entitled to the same kind only
wears it on his right sleeve and we
boys are not anxious to get to wear
one on that side, but we must take
what comes to us whether we like 1t
or not, and assure you we have no
time nor inclination to worry as our
work occupies our entire time and at.

IN DAYSOF old"
CIRCUSfEATURE.
Mammoth Spectacle of Romance and
ChivaIry Presented by Cast OF
1850 Characters.
ON WORLDS BIGGEST STAGE
Ringing Bros Circus, Which Comes
to Denison August 9th, Will Pres
sent Magnificent Spectacle.

Around the romance and chivalry
of the twelfth century Ringing Bros.
have this season built the most mag.
nificent spectacle ever travelled under
their management
"In the Days, of Old" is the name
given this tremendous production. IT
won the plaudits of Chicago during
the five weeks the circus exhibited in
that city and 1t is to be presented here
on Tuesday, August 9th without any
change or curtailment.
A cast Of 1850 characters, hundreds
of dancing girls, scores of splendid
horses, 80 musicians. many voices
and great cathedral organ are used
to tell the story of period which,
hundreds of years ago, was famed for
! it's brave knights and ladies' fair.
The presentation is historically COR
rect. All the trappings, costumes,
castles, drawbridges, meats, arms and
other paraphernalia have been pat
termed after originals. Il
The theme includes many of the
incidentA familiar to the reader who
recalls the daring deeds of such
heroes as King Arthur, Ivanhoe, Loch-s
jinvar and Robin Hood. The most thrill
ing and marvellous adventures are pic
|tured in brilliant settings. TOurna-
ments, with great companies OF
knights in full armour, furnish many
an exciting moment. A great ball Is,
pictured in great castle. 1t is here
that the two characters of the story
that is weaved throughout the panto-
mime thwart the royal command. The
Princess Rosalind is about to be be-
throthed to one she greatly dislikes
when in rides Sir Knight Valiant on
his favorite charger, swings the pritl
cess to his saddle and dashes through
the ballroom to liberty. This is but
lone Of the many thrilling incidents
that abound throughout In Days Of
Old" and which makes it the most
dramatic, picturesque and interesting
Iof the several that the Ringing Bros.
have produced during the past de-
cade.
The spectacle is but one feature of
the circus. At it's conclusion will
come scores upon scores of arenic
sensations; the most remarkable
trained animal acts ever travelled in
all the thrills and wonders that are
America, an army of 80 clowns and
always to be found with Ringing
Bros. mammoth show.

When you're speeding on the highway
Don't you hear it calling, calling
"Come and Gather"-want and hunger to a'Iay
Lest need becomes app alIng.
Hear the wheat fields they're pleading T~
Look at Natures heart a bleeding
Since she's it from the land.
We are slackers-(the "boys" will chde thee)
Mother Natures horn Of plenty
Filled from every flock and field
Up and doing, and brother,
Leave your business in the city
Merchant, banker, any other
Don't be ide-"lts pity"
Be sportsman show your mettIe,
Show the farmer that you care
Tie together-hep to settle
Friendly feelings, mutual In terest much too rare
Let's cut out suspicious feeling
In the country and the city,
All this cav|ins, all this squeaIins
Put instead pure teamwork pray thee.
Can't you see that you are getting -
From your country Cousins sweaatns
Let this in your noodle sink. :
Act your part both lad and lassie,
With less pomp or ehesty bearing
You ;"<id YOURSELF with clothes more classy
More Of front, more dash and daring.
Just because you travel faster -a~,
Is no sign they're slower, denser;
You are servant-they are maser,
In the end your sole dispenser. -.
Then let's give them. royal welcome,
Incorporation" the watchword be,
Work together-oh, how handsome
When dwell in harmony.
Be mindful of our khaki Iaddes. ~.
Can't you hear their loud appeal?
Bidding to be their caddies
Send them food apparel, steel
Heed these calls, pray you brother,
We can't co. but send them
All and the other, .. "
Reap this harvest, help to back them.
Can it be when they calling
And the harvest too says "Come,"
Can there yet be IoIIing.,a
Drifting, oafne like a "bum?"
Then when all this is ended,
When we're all at peace. . '..
You'll be praised and recommended
When the roars Of cannon cease.

SOFA CUSHION
 WILL BE SOLD

Have you taken a look at the silk sofa cushion in the window of the Northern? If not, do so. The cushion was donated to Seward by Mrs. Dairy Hallett through Leo MargIles for the purpose of raising fund for tobacco or something else for the Alaska boys m France.
 Now this is the idea-lOok at the cushion good and long and just think how nice it would be if it was yours. Next week possibly on Tuesday or Wednesday, men, women or children can drop into the Northern, If women, don't be afraid, because this is a gentlemen'S resort, go up to the coup- ter and purchase an enevelope. You won't know the price of that envelope until you open it and a little card drops out. The card may say one cents, seven cents, but the cards will not be for more than SIPS. Get the idea? When the tickets are all sold there will be a drawing. Remember the money raised is going into the fund for the Alaska soldier boys, our boys whom we all know.

LUCRETIA MOTT

Holding rank with Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan B. Anthony, and other pioneer suffragist saints and martyrs Lucretia Mott is revered by the pre- sent generation If advocates of wom- ems rights as one of the great figures in the movement. Born in Nantuck- ct, Mass, 125 years ago today, she early manifested her sympathies for the downtrodden and the under dogs'' of all classes. She became the wife of James Mott, a Philadelphia merchant and philanthroplst, and joined him in launching the American Anti-S1avery Society at Philadelphia in 1883. She entered the ministery of the Society of Friends in 1918, and earnestly defended the right of wom- en to speak in public and to take an active part in public affairs. She was one of the delegates to the first woman's rights convention, held in Seneca Falls, N. Y, in 1S4S. Like most of the other suffragist pioneers, she lived to a ripe old age, dying in Philadelphia in 1880.

PLAZA

At last the much heralded screen triumph, '"The Price of a Good Time" is here. In seven big acts, staged by Lois Weber, the Belasco of the screen, and starring Mildred Harris, the pro- duction should be the supreme draw ing card of the present season at the Plaza There's not much in the title. Not at first glance at any rate, but there's whole lot in the story that will keep your blood red hot and your eyes as big as saucers. It is a story of the great temptation that con- fronts every working woman, every woman of leisure and it brings its moral out so forcibly as to be almost startling.
 The usual big vaudeville billo has been booked, comprising for the latter half of the week the Down Home Ter with their singing, dancing and Jazz band entertainment; Arthur White law, '4The Irish Chatterbox"; LulJ Sutton and company in their comedy success entitled, 'MOlly's Idea" ant the Hazeltines with their dog in song and dance oddities.
