Just out Of the trenches on the bat

Clay county man, wrote to the folks
at home on March Q, that he is
still busy training to "get Fritz. Al
though the letters were written on
March 8 and 16, they were post

Following are extracts from the
letters that show plainly that he has
suffered more from the attacks of the
"Cooties" than the other Huns.
Il received your letter, written last
September, about a. week ago, but
couldn't write then, as we were in
the trenches and there was no chance.
We are back In camp now. don't
know for how long. A fellow gets so
erummy" out there in the trenches
he can hardly keep his clothes on.
We are in the rest camp now after
two hard months at the front.
THE farmers are in the fields here
blowing and seeding. They have lit
tie strips Of fields here and there; and
use two horse drags. The seeding is
done by hand. The weather is fine
here and everything is getting green.
Suppose by the time you get this let
ter you will be getting ready for
spring work. Wish / was there to

There is not much to write about
except the trenches, and they are so

writing about them. Take = from
me though, we have got the Germans
bluffed. They don't want to get into

about a rumored American offensive

'T don't know anything about that"
the American replied natvely. 'but I
saw Lieut.. Blank of the BlAnkteenth
Division. which had moved up behind
us yesterday. and heard that We had
another division coming on Thurs-
day"
The Germans believed. They kent
one of their drst-line divisions In the

We do not use the third degrees

From prisoner captured recently
II has been learned how an American

allies q greater service than he prob-
ably was capable of as soldier In

New Coins Asked For.

THE demand is growing for more
fractional currency and for new
denominations in coins to meet condi-
tions that have arisen because of the
changed economic situation. 1t is
said on high authority that many per-
sons and some publications have given
their approval to the suggestion, sew
eral times brought forward into pub
lie view, that the government proceed
to mint coins of 6 cents, z cents and
perhaps upward In odd sums for the
general business of the people, but
more particularly in anticiation of a
large increase in the number Of street
railway companies whose fares will be
advanced to 6 cents and in some cases
perhaps to Z.
The pressure on the penny has be-
come intense, and also the pressure on
the patience Of buyers and sellers.
Every man must have a plentiful sup
ply of pennies in his pockets to sup
plement nickels, dimes and quarters.
Time of cashiers and customers is
taken up needlessly in making change.
So many common articles the current
price of which used to be cents, now
coat 6 or cents that coins of those
denominations would fill public
need, is the claim. If, as Is projected,
carfare Is to be generally increased to
9 cents. and in some places II already
has been increased, the need for a six
cent piece will become more urgent A
writer on that subject has said that
"the fractions of minute used UP in
making change multiplied by the mill
lions of people who are paying their
fares every hour work into an i'm
mense amount Of time"
Two or three years ago there was q
widespread public discussion of the
need for a ~ -cent piece. and the gen.
eral voice seemed to be that 1t would
prove great convenience to the peo-
pie Of the United States. There was
also much discussion as to what would
be an appropriate name for such a
coin. The need Is not felt now as 1t
was then for bit Of money of that
denomination. because SO few articles
sell at the rate OF two for q nickle.
A strong opinion has developed in
favor of the government mtnting a
three-cent piece because that is the
price Of a postage stamp. When a per-
son buys a stamp Of the usual kind he
must find three pennies In his pocket or
hand over a nickel and wait for two
cents in change. Old flve-cent cigars
and five-cent packages Of tobacco are
now generally 6 or 7 cents and when
a man takes two "five-cent cigars" he
usually needs a dime and two pennies;
if he takes three. he needs a dime, a
nickel and three pennies, and II he
takes four he probably lays down a
quarter and waits for the penny
change. Such situation can be null
tiplied many times. The person Of
middle age, or perhaps q little past
that age, can remember when two and
three cent pieces were in everyday
circulation.
