Gentlemen: %
Well how's everything in the good
old Red River Valley? Sorry could
not get back for a visit, before going
east from Camp Dodge, Iowa, but my
travel orders were over direct route,
so it was not possible to make any side
trips.
Sometimes it seems like I've never
done anything all my life but Soldier
and again it seems but yesterday that
I was in Warren following the peace
full persuits Of the Valley. However
military life has been very agreeable
to me and very interesting. ~.
was at Camp Dodge, Iowa, for five
months after leaving Warren with the
Feb. 23rd, 1913. contingent Of the draft.
Had all the "ups and downs of buck
private, which you soon get use to, I'M
til in June I was made a Sergeant in
the Medical Department and drilled in
the art Of caring for wounded and dead
in mo mans" land, first aid stations
and field hospitals. =
Then on July 22nd, 1918, received
my commission from Washington, D.
c., as Second Lieutenant in the SAM
tary Corp, with the Office of Personnel
Adjutant in a Sanitary Train. Orders
followed, transferring me to this camp
to await overseas duty.
This is very nice camp, occupying
the old Fair Ground site here. It's not
far from Philadelphia or New York
and we go over to the former place to
do our shopping at the Government
store 49,.
While at Camp Dodge, Clarence
Bake and I were together very much
on leisure hours and it sure seemed
good to have a friend from your home
town, in camp. -
Every soldier is always anxious to
get to France as that's the only place
we can be of real service as soldiers.
The ROCKIES soon get the same spirit
about it, so you can readily see what
the old Kaiser has got in store for him.
What I started out to write is that
the Sheaf is sure a welcome number
to all "Yanks" from Marshall county
I always look forward to "Sheaf" day.

France, June 80, 1918.

Ny Dear Cousin:
Today has been a rather strenuous
one, and I for one am very tired-but
don't think that am too tired to
write to you, for I really think that a
very important matter and one that
should not be neglected. You quite
agree with me, do you not?
For some time now we have been
battling and things have been quite
lively, but you know we joined the
army to fight-and we are not kicking
now that we have the chance.
Everything is really very fine with
us. Of course, a few shells fall around
us now and then, but that is to be ex-
pected, we would rather have a few of
them land near us so we can feel at
home. You know we are quite the
blase' veterans now-if we were back
and out Of range we would be quite
lost without the familiar drag of our
gas masks, and the comforting pressure
of our helmets. In fact a chap feels
quite naked if he leaves off the mask
for moment. Now and then a lad
starts off without his mask-he stops,
a startled look in his eyes, then beats
| it back pronto-or "tout de suite'' as
the frogs would say. I imagine his
feelings are those of man who dreams
he is walking down Broadway in broad
daylight, clad only in modesty and a
| wrist watch. -
| It will be long past the Fourth by
the time this reaches you. You have
had your picnic, burned your fingers
/ with frecrackers and all that sort OF
thing. The country hereabouts would
be very fine for picnic just now
Everything is green and growing and a
riot of flowers everywhere You would
like the poppies best, believe the
brilliant red is very effective wher
scattered through a green field. As fol
fireworks, we may have something
special on the Fourth, then again The
usual events may be enough for us
The noise is with us always, but al
night the lines are really beautiful
Rockets of every color flares constantly
lighting up the ground and throwing
fantastic shadows, you forget the SIM
ster side for moment and then a big
one comes in and you s'duck".
You may be sure that I am feeling
fine, have an appetite like youns
1 gorilla. And perhaps the events of til,
next few months will settle this Sigh

HARVESTING NOW
IN FULL BLAST

Harvesting has now commenced in
this vicinity and music Of the smoothly
running binder is heard all over. All
grain crops have filled very nicely and
a good yield is now assured. The grain
is ripening very rapidly and harvest
work will have to be rushed until all
is safely gathered in. The weather
during the past week has been ideal.
Quite a number of harvest hands
have arrived during the week, but not
enough to meet the demands. and it ap-
pears as tho it will be necessary for
Warren business men to make good
their promise to get out and shock it
the necessary outside labor can not be
secured.
At a number Of places in the south
ern part Of the state, business men
have closed their business places early
in the afternoon and organized shock
ing squads. Several automobiles carry
ing shockers would go in each direc-
ton from town and upon reaching a
field that was unshocked, all would get
out and do the job in a short time. It
is possible that this plan will have to
be used in Warren.
No grain will be allowed to go to
waste this year and all must do their
bit to save the crop.
Farm Girls Do Their Bit.
The country girls are playing an i'm
portant part in the harvesting Of the
grain crop this year. On many of the
can be seen driving binders and even
shocking.

~ @--.. SATURDAY, July ., 1oIC'
I intended to mail this letter last
night but something turned up and l
forgot all about it.
We decided to stay for the concert
last night so bought a loaf Of bread,
3 cans of sardines, a can of jam and a
can Of pineapples. Just as we went
by the Y. NJ c.. A. I happened to see
Albert Golden coming out. I never was
so surprised in my life. It certainly
seemed fine to meet someone from
Warren over here. We had long talk
and then the four Of us had supper to-
gether. We ate in a small grove and
had a fine time. We went to the con.
cert afterwards and then we had to
beat it home. He is a truck driver. As
he is in this division I'll probably see
him often-e every time I come back
from the line.

Hendersonville men with the Sixth

While no official information has
been received to this effect it is under
stood that Capt. R. v. Ladd has been
promoted to the Office of major of the
Seventh Anti-Aircraft Battalion and
will soon embark for France.
While Captain Ladd made no refer
ence to this, others have referred indie
rectly to their Kew captain" in their
letters home. An extract from letter
from Captain Ladd to friend of his in
Hendersonville contains the following
interesting information:
"The men are all fairly well and I
have been ordered 70 duty overseas and
will take some of them with me.
wish l could take them all so that II
would know that they would be given
a square deal, but the colonel made me
take an coral number from each COM
pany here"
