Camp Kearney. Calf. July 25.-
Dear Friends: Will write you a sew

over there before it is over. We are
thinking that it will be over before
we get there.
Well. we are going to do our part
anyhow If we get there or not. We
all are doing fine so far. We like It
here. We have nice. cool nights to
sleep. but through the day it gets

Every day for the past week. or
more. the merchants, retired farmers
and professional men of Bookings
have been going out to the harvest
fields and helping shock grain. Other
tasks have been undertaken when the
need has been made known and the
Register believes that there need be
no loss OF any crops on account Of the
scarcity OF help. OF course the hard,
est time will come when 1t comes time
for threshing. as regular crews must
be maintained to do this work. 1t
would seem as IL there should be more
changing Of work by the farmers. and

THE CROW'S-NEST


Gradually the habit Of joy-riding is
going into disuse either from necessi,
ty or because Of the sentiment against
1t. In one county, at least, the Coun-
ell of Defence is d~iscOuraging it as
much as possible. The money that Is
uselessly spent in riding about for
the mere purpose of seeing or being
can be put to better use in these
times of stress. The owner Of a car.
If he uses il for business or necessary
travel. can do so with a clear consci-
ence. but the use of any auto for the
mere pleasure OF gading about with no
purpose in view except having a good
time ought not to be tolerated. A lit.
tie joy-walkng would be more consis-
tent just now.

A writer in one Of our metropolitan
dailies suggests that many men above
the draft age could do more than they
are now doing in helping along in the
great war and advocates knitting as a
useful pastime. While busy with
their needles they would have less
time or occasion to accuse others of
being slack In their duties IL they hes
itate to answer the call for service.
Men often boast of having learned u
knit when they were young and there
is no more reason why they should
not take it up again than 10 leave IL
all to the women to Engage In such
necessary work. a governor OF one Of
our western states is setting a good
example In engaging in knitting when
he is holding audiences with his call
ers, Why not follow his example and
busy our idle hands either in knittlng
or doing surgical dressing work? The
Red Cross workers would welcome any
assistance.
