 France MT. F. E. Wells,
 Dear Friend: Arrived over here in good shape, after rather tiresome, and unexciting journey.
 However, the scenery all along the line was pretty, espe- cially in England. France is beautiful in spots but the coun- try seems to be run down. Per haps it is on account of short age of man labor. l do not know when we will go to the front, but it will not be for a few weeks at least. I am in hopes of meeting some of my relatives over here, and also my brother who is with an en- glneer outfit. I will probably see some of the Williams boys before long. I know it will be quite awhile before we return. but you can rely on us to do our best here.
 Kindly extend my best re- i gards to all my old friends in Williams and tell them I shall always remember them.
 You can address your paper to Pvt. James A. Foley"

BOY ON
 HUN TRAIL IN FRANCE

Harvey Camel. formerly Of Williams, has written to hls mother. who is now in Prescott, of his work in France. Part of his letter is given below.
 Dearest Mother:
 This is the first opportunity have had to write to you. I ani feeling fine and in excellent spirits. Have a good idea now what shell fire really means, and have just returned from the front where we were in it. The regiment I am with Is now back of the lines resting up. The Huns have an awful care less way of handling high ex plosives and they make more misses than hits. 1 don't know for sure whether the Kaiser and God have dissolved part nership, but anyway Bills big offensive is turning into a re- treat. So it would seem the Sa- vior and the Prussian don't jibe after all from the way thing are turning out for the latter. We'll the Americans drove the Ger mans back quite a bit-only 15 miles-ad we are still on his trail to go some more. I ex- pect to return to the firing line in about another week, so it may be quite awhile before I will again be able to write. Af- ter we left England all the Prescott boys were split up into diff commands. Am with the 30th Infantry Go. E, France Post Office TAO, A. E. F.

THE KAISER WANTS YOU
 TO SPEND

Make your old suit do for awhile yet.
 This is addressed to you, MT. A. M. Citizen. It is also address ed to your family. It is up to you whether the war is won or lost.
 Some will tell you that ships will win the war. Some will tell you that food will do it. Some will tell you that coal is the thing that is going to save the day. But it is neither of these. nor is it all of them taken together, although each and everyone will contribute it's bit to the cause of democracy. There is only one factor in the struggle that counts, in my op- inion, YOU. You count just as much as the boys at the front, but you have to make yourself count by practicing the closest economy. Take for instance, the matter of clothing. We all know that clothing is necessary to civilized man, but during these war days it is not neces- sary to expend the same. am- ount of money for them as in the past. Think what it would mean, if every man. woman and child in the United States today should buy heavily of clothing. It would mean depriving neces- sary war industries of much needed labor.
 Battlefront indications are that the war is to come to an end within the coming year. when our boys get into full stride over there. Now we can win this war for the side of jus tice just as we'll as not, provid- ing, of course, we do just one thing, practice economy. There fore, I say to you, don't buy un- necessary clothing this year. Send your old garments to the best cleaning shop in town and put the difference between the cost of polishing up old cloth ing and the cost of new into w. s. s. and l.. B..
 Periodically yours,
 Mike--The Tailor and Cleaner

 Sept. 9, 1918*%
 My garden is coming fine and I have only about 4 feet yet to plant, but it is late to plant it. I was going to plant it in rradishes and lettuce. I have sold a great deal of radishes, peas and lettuce. I am going to sell my onions. My beets are big enough to can, my rutaba- gas are more tops than any thing. I hoed the wees out of my garden it took me twenty five minutes. I had to hoe the weeds out of the beets.'
 Joyce Frances Mclean Garden Report
 My garden is looking fine. I sold fifteen radishes and gave 13 turnips away. The best look ing things are my gardens beans and turnips. I had sever al messes of peas. My radishes are nearly all gone and what are left are pithy. My turnips are not very large.
 H. Gerald Boulin, Sec.-Treas. R. L. Garden Club Sept. 9, 1918.
 I hoedmy garden and it took me thirty minutes but there are very few weeds. I have gather ed about two dozen beets and 1 pickled them. I have picked a mess of peas and owed 100 radishes and they are still thick, and I got some potatoes out of my garden.
 Callie Lucille. Carpenter,
 Vice-President My garden is doing very we'll. My onions are ready for market and my lettuce is nearly big enough to sell. My peas are late in bloom, my corn and car rots are not doing very we'll, but all other things are excellent.
