Letters From

Alfred Wittncbert.

Well, Ted, how goes it? / suppose
you hin / have forgotten all about
my old friends, but really Ted such is
not the case, as l surely do think of
has been very often so limited that
sometimes 1t is several weeks before I
get a chance to write to my folks. 1
sure have done some travelling since /
left the States. 1 IA been through
a very interesting part of England.
/ have also done considerable travel
ing through France. 1 had the pleas
ure of going through three old cha
teaus hat were built in the early part
of the fifteenth century. They were
swell places in their time. A short
time ago ! was billeted in a very nice
town where they had a natural hot
sulphur spring. Even though France
has some very interesting places. 1t Is
not as nice as ! thought / was going to
see. In the first place, 1 thought
France had the most beautiful girls in
the world. Why, I haven't seen any
that you could compare with our
American girls. and / haven't seer a
town over here that you could COM
pare with any of our American towns.
Give me the dear old ". S. A. every
time.
I think the way this whole situation
looks now, that 1 will be able to get
pack 10 the ola JoD Sometlme In lSl9.
OF course, you can never tell, but il
does not do any harm to think. We
certainly are doing some great fighting
now. 1 have been up to the front on
two different sectors. Here of late l
have been going up to the front most
every other day. There surely r e
some great sights to see out in mo
mans land" such as the German dug
cuts. mo mans land is just full of
large shell holes, trenches, and large
plots of barbed wire. Some of the
trees are cut off by the terrific she'll
fire. There are several villages that
are completely demolished, not even a
wall &C standing. The Yanks are also
taking several thousand prisoners I
saw about three thousand prisoners
march past the place where 1 was bill
leted, and believe me, they were some
sad looking bunch.
l would have liked very much to
nave seen you before / left. but my
time was too short.

Of Interest 10 Farmers.

The Cottonwood Milling & Ele-
vator Co. has been notified by the
New York Office of the Food Adj
ministration Grain Corporation
that the time limit for selling seed
grain for the State of Idaho is set
for May 18th, and after that date
no licensed dealer can sell any
wheat or rye to the trade. If you
are in need of any grain to put in
your crop, you had better get
busy, as absolutely no grain will
be sold after that date.
The pressing needs for export
and domestic trade require the
putting into market channels at
once any surplus stocks of wheat,
rye or other grain suitable for
bread purposes and all farmers
are advised to bring in any sur
plus they have on hand.
The Cottonwood Milling Co.
will be busy the full season, grind
ing out the allotment of wheat,
owing to the fact that they have
been grinding wheat substitutes
in such large amounts as to re-
duce the ability to take care of

cooperation of all concerned is
expected in the present crisis to
