Somewhere in France,
Aug. 18th, 1918.
Dear Sister and All:
Well, Addie, / am dropping you a
few lines to let you know | am still
alive We have moved back a cou-
pie of klometers for little rest. ]
will send you a German helmet soon.
Did / tell you we were bombed two
nights in succession by German
planes? No one hurt and nothing
destroyed in our outfit, but they are
terrible thing. ! tell you, Addie, |
have seen things that the Germans
have done to American wounded you
would not believe. 1t is terrible. |
will tell you on my return.
If you could see how they were
entrenched here in the woods you
would wonder how they were driven
out. But if you knew how the Ameri-
can and French soldiers hate the d.
Germans you would not wonder eth
seven machine guns in one hill; they
use a Maxim with a belt which
handles $50 shells. One place here
the French charged a hill covered
with machine guns and were out
numbered 10 to l but they were
afraid the Americans would beat
them to it, so all they used was the
bayonet, and it was sight to see
the work they did. Germans lay in
piles neatly pierced through the body
or head by the bayonets. The French
have a long needle bayonet that is
a dandy. | will bring one home no
doubt. About the country, it is beau
tiful, slightly rolling, many rivers
and smaller streams, finest kind of
soil. Lots of oak, maple, beech, elm,
etc. in quiet patches of timber. Some
deer, many quail and doves, quite a
few rabbits and partridge.
4 The ground is grand and lots of it..
they've lost it. Boo hoo, hoo. We
have a saw bayonet the Germans
used. 1t sure is an awful weapon.
The towns are blown up. We blew
up quite a few full of Germans;
nothing is spared now to win the
war. Germans retreated so fast they
they. left millions of rifles and rounds
of ammunition and hundreds of GUNS.
Left two long range Berthas which
were firing on Paris.
P. S. Just got your letter of
July 16. Gee, wish l was home to
eat real butter and cream and drink
real milk and eat some of your
home-cooked peas, also some good
lettuce and radishes. i never will
roam again. Gee, how good that
fresh pork would seem.
Give Mrs. Hector Chisholm my
best regards. Tell her no Germans,
only dead ones for me, when / tell
her what awful things they do.
Well, Addie, if were there today
would be fishing When / come
back l am going to take month
! fishing and hunting with Everett
and Darrell. l sure have some rifle
my German Mauser, can hit dime
at 100 yards. i had high. score for a
long while. Well goodbye and good
luck IRVING.

II is the little things that count and

It is the little things that count and
this is true in politics. Far instance,
the police matron appointments have
caused more grief to many an alder
man than the annual budget, or even
handling the delinquent lien affairs OF
the city. About the time the average
alderman feels satisfied with his city
Job. comes along the police matron
muddle and then the political pot be-
gins to simmer and finally bell over.
Hence the chances are that with the
police matron question to come before
the city council about the first Of the
year. there win be the usual amount
of side stepping. The council feels able
TO only pay $50 a month for a police
matron while the woman trained for
this service generally gets twice as
much. Like BanquO's ghos., the police
matron proposition viii not down. The
situation is thus sized up BY local
politician.

IF WORLD MOVED FASTER
Greatly Upset by Increased Rota-
tation, az Shown Here.

Conjecture has often been made as
TO what would happen If the earth
were 10 rotate faster upon its axis
than II does. or course. If II went Is
times as fast as II does now, bodies
at the equator would weigh nothing
q person would jump up into the air
and fail to come down again. A man
might weigh 200 at the poles and
nothing at the equator, while his
weight, would vary for intermediate
points. II he approached the equator
he would get lighter and II he re
ceded from il he would get heavier.
A man could carry house on his
shoulders very near the equator, while
near either pole he could only carry
what one can now. On this account
labor would be very dear near the
poles and very cheap near the equa-
tor. 1t would certainly be interesting
TO know which section of the earth
would be more populous-whether
everyone would go north for good
wages or go south for cheap work
men. The railroad problem would be
momentous unless the railroads all
ran east and west when n uniform
rate would obtain on any particular
east-and-west line.
Journeys to the south would be even
more popular than they are now. for
they would make everyone feel better
and In buoyant spirits; more springy,
too. so that people could walk far
ther without getting tired. and could
jump over any obstacle that present
ed itself without coming down with
too hard thump.
There Is no planet now known that
has such IA rapid rotation as Is pic
tured here, but there are several
where man would weigh great deal
less than on earth. On the moon a
man would weigh only fifty or sixty
pounds and could jump as many feet
without suffering serious discomfort.
But this state of affairs obtains over
the whole planet, because 1t is due
to absence of gravitatlve force and
not to centrifugal, as would he the
c,se on the rapidly rotating earth.
