We have been much amused at re-
suits obtained by some enthusiasts IN
their efforts TO respond to every APP
peal OF the agricultural department
for an increase In food production.
These requests have been made usual
~ in such q general manner that they
lave lead those with patriotic tenden-
cies into great deal OF trouble.
For example an appeal was issued
last spring to raise pig The lit
erature that was issued with this
appeal was such that anyone would be
lead TO believe that unless he pur-
chased and raised pig he was a
Stacker. One gentleman in Crystal
Fails in his EFFORT TO be patriotic pur-
chased two pigs and set out TO raise
them. He had To buy feed and con-
tinued 10 invest in pig feed until his
expense account mounted TO a figure
that induced him to take stock. The
result OF his inquiry was that he i'm
mediately got rid OF his pigs at loss
OF :is.e0. This is but one of nnmer-
Gus instances where lack OF good
Judgment on the part OF our agricul-
tural agitators have brought about
actual loss to worthy people.
Raise Pig" was a very timely
and necessary appeal had ii been APP
piled with wisdom. So are many 9th
er OF the appeals that come out from
the agricultural department Some
qualification should be placed upon
those so that actual loss and discour-
agement will not result to those who
respond. Some who didn't raise q
pig ought to have done SO and could
have done so with profit, while many
who did raise pigs ought to have
spent their efforts in other directions.
Let's have more common sense In our
agricultural appeals and not 80 much
over-enthusiasm.

Somewhere in France,
August 18th, 1918.
Dearest Mother and All:
Well, Mother, this is the first letter
have written to you since my ar
rival over here. and really don't
think II will be much OF letter, as
we are not allowed to say great
many things.
am feeling fine ana certainly en-
joyed the trip over here, so now you
mustn't worry about me. for, cheer
up Mother, the time is not far distant
when We shall get KAISER Bill" in
the place where he belongs.
have not had a letter from home
as yet, but hope to be getting one
soon, for / am anxious TO know il you
are all well.
Now, to tell you a few OF the things
have seen since / am over here:
You have often heard people speak OF
the "Old Country" Web, / want to
tell you that it is, indeed, an old
country, and not bit like our own
United States We saw, while pass
ing through England, some old build
ings and homes which were from
300 to 900 hundred years old Can you
imagine that? One thing / noticed
was the streets were very clean, and
nearly all OF the houses were hidden
with flowers and vines. They are
surely beautiful, and ] can't tell you
how much enjoy my trip.
| have to laugh at the railroads
here, they look very much like toys TO
me, after working with those large
engines we had on the Chicago &
North Western And the engines are
built very much different too They
are not bit like ours, so all my ex-
perience would be useless 10 me here
The engineer sits on the left side OF
the cab instead OF the right, although
| think the principle upon which their
locomotive works is similar TO ours,
and with a few hours study | would
be able to run one alright.
All the street car conductors here
are women and l saw girls about l6
or Is years working on the section
II Is sad TO see girls so young doing
a mans work. Oh, yes, | think will
be able to talk some French, Mother,
when / come home. heard some
French people talking today and
could understand nearly everything
they said 1t won't take me long to
be speaking 1t now
will close for tonight. Mother. but
i will write often from now on.
hope you are we'll and please don't
worry about me. as / will be alright
Much love to you and all.
Lovingly.
