DEAR BILL KIZER.

Dear Skazizer Bill: Glad to note in your last letter that you were well and all your boys helped to keep you out of war. Owing to divers condi- tions, also subs, would suggest that you take up any little matters you may have on your mind with that fel- low Foch. Some people call him General" but you know me-Ill bet keg of horse shoes he ain't got an "iron cross" to show; he wouldn't play the game. He ain't got any kul- ture or he would have known that it was impossible to defeat your gal lant armies. Some folks--including Foch, are so rude that they don't have any idea of our methods. 1 am sorry, Bill, that our boys treated you so rough, but you couldn't educate them in a thousand years to kill a baby or mistreat women.
 Some day, Bill, when you have time to slow down some, we will have a quiet talk about it and I'll tell you where you made your mistake some forty years ago-also later; it won't be any use writing me now, about all l could suggest is for you to see that fellow Foch--he seems to have car ried about every precinct in his sec tion of the country. but don't know the polls are closed.
 I am sorry about strich-Hungry too, but they did not seem to be able to cut the macaroni. They will prob ably have to speak their "peace" standing up and if I were you I'd save few of them reversible breast protectors before they are all gone, so you will avoid becoming one of them mantle munchers" also.
 Otherwise 1 hope you get all your luggage packed up in time to move before our "rough-necks" gallop around on your prize moustasches with their dirty feet. You know me, Bill; don't take any chances-go as far as you can, but the way things are mussed up now, durned if l know just where I would head for. This is an awful small lump of earth sometimes.
 GEORGE.

MERCY MUNITIONS
 NEEDED IN TRENCHES
Lieut.. Conlngsby Dawson, Fight ing Author, Makes Stirring
 Appeal for '. w. c. 4.

Lieut.. Coningsby Dawson, who wrote Garry On" says of the war work which the Y. w. c. A. is doing: "You at home cannot fight with your lives, but you can fight with your mercy. The Y. w. c. A. is offering you just, this chance. It garrisons the womens support trenches, which lie behind the mems. It asks you to supply them with munitions of mercy that they may be passed on to us. We need such supplies badly. Give generously that we may the sooner defeat the Hun"
 What Lieut.. Dawson says of the r. W. c. A. he might have said of all the national organizations which are com ing together for the biggest financial campaign that organizations have ever headed. All the $l70,5O0,0O0 to be raised by the seven great national or ganizations the week of November II will be used to garrison and supply the support trenches behind the lines They are the Y. M. O. A.. the Y. W. c. A., the National Catholic War Coun. ell. Jewish Welfare Board, American Library Association, War Camps Con- munity Service and Salvation Army.
 American girls in various uniforms mingle strangely with picturesque Brittany costumes in France. The American Y. W. c. A. has a hostess house ln Brittany where the Signal Corps women live and hut where the nurses spend their free time Both these centers are fitted with many of the comforts and conveniences of home.
 At tea given at the nurses hut one Saturday afternoon" writes Miss Mabel Warner, of Salina, Kansaa '. W. c. A. worker there, there was an odd gathering-one admiral, 6 bishop, Presbyterian minister. Roman Catholic priest. a doctor. an ensign. one civilian and myself"

ALWAYS A HELPING HAND.

Editor Braxton of the Holbrook News had a real hard luck story to tell last week. He had the influenza, no printers and lots of work pressing. A couple of printers 'flew" on him just when he needed them most, but his contemporary people-The' Hol- brook Tribune-offered him all as- sistance. While it did not happen to be necessary at the last moment, it made the world look heap brighter to Editor Braxton. If all Grades folks" were as fair as the printer people, they might not have quite so much money, but be a heap happier. It is well settled custom that one printer man has perfect right to fuss at another, but it is his bounden duty to go and help the other fellow out when he is in real trouble.

SERVICE THAT WINS
 THE SOLDIER HEART
Fred LockIey, Y. M. C. A., Tells of the Gratitude of the Boys
 at the Front.

"One of the discoveries men are making overshere." Fred Lockley, of the Y. Nj. c. A. and of Portland. Ore gon, writes from London, Ifs that more pleasure can be had out of giv- ing than getting, Many a man who has spent money freely In the old days to buy pleasure is finding that he gets more pleasure over here by the spend- ing of ones self In the service of others.
 "A few months ago l went out with . fellow Y. M. 0. A. secretary to hunt up out-of-the-way attachments of troops A stable guard here, a ma chine gun company there, platoon somewhere else. We carried our goods in an automobile We had plenty of writing paper and envelopes for free distribution, and chocolate, cookies, chewing tobacco and smoking tobacco, cigarettes, razor blades. tooth paste and things of that kind for sale. American war service workers were busy everywhere. We found Sal vation Army lassies making doughnuts for the boys and K. of c. secretaries giving help. Books furnished by the American Library Association were to be seen on all sides.
 s"Hearing firing at . distance, we drove down the road and found score or so of men at machine gun practice. The officer gave the men half an hour recess to buy goods.
 "At another place we came in sight of lieutenant drilling platoon. said to the lieutenant: How soon be- fore you dismiss the company We have Y. M. c. A. goods for sale.'
 He said: Right now. Sergeant, dismiss the companyr
 And ten seconds later the company was in line waiting to buy goods from our travelling 'Y.' Grateful is no name for It The men can't do enough to show their gratitude"
