Letter From brennan Douglas.

Headquarters Troop,is Division
April 10, 1918.
Mr.. Fred Evans,
Missouri Valley, Iowa,
Dear Friend, Fred:
received your very welcome
letter of January goth, about a
week ago, and sure was glad to
hear from you. | would have
answered sooner but we have
been unable to write, ON account
of a move, and that in itself is
sufficient.
am getting along just fine
and dandy, and hope you can say
the same or better. Why should
MT a Teller feel fine when its
spring time, and everything is
full of life and blooming.
The season here in France
seems at least a month in advance
of that at home. AT present
wheat is about six inches high,
Ii sure looks fine to see miles
and miles of wheat and oats,
while still so small. Hedges ard
vines are in full plumage, and
even all the men are in the bud
of trim and ability.
haven't seen a newspaper for
nearly three weeks, so maybe you
can imagine how much | know oil
the very recent events and doings.
Therefore, you must not expect

Logan Youngsters Take a Hike.

Last evening a telephone mes
sage was received by Fred Brown
from his brother in Logan to
head off two youngsters who
were on their way from Logan to
Missouri Valley. Mr.. Brown i'm
mediately started out in his car
and met the children a short dis
lance out on the Lincoln high
way, the 5 year old boy being his
nephew. When he stopped to
pick them up the little 40 year old
Purcell girl ran out into a field
and after chasing her for some
time Mr.. Brown gave up the
chase and took the lad back to
Logan. About midnight the little
girl was found in the passenger
station, bare footed and soaking
wet, having. been caught in the
rain. She was taken to the Lin
coin highway and cared for until
her parents, could reach here.
