Interesting Letters from Our
Boys at Home Camps
and Abroad.
From John Gamage.

April 10.-Everything is fine, Only
1T is cold out, a wind blowing, and ii
chills person to the bone, but this is
France and not our own country.
Major Clark is back with the COM
pany and we are all glad. He is like
a dad to the whole bunch.
Do you realize how long l have been
over here. / will get gold service
stripe in June or a V on the right
hand sleeve. They sure look classy.
Lots of the fellows have the wounded
stripe on the left sleeve, but I can't
wear any yet. They asked for 81
volunteers to go to the front last
week and before night they had them
out of our company. But something
happened and we are still here.
Kip Harrell has been transferred
to the Medical Detachment of the 10th
Engineers, Co. E. Say, Mary, how
would you like pair of wooden shoes
to wear? Hal You wanted some
thing from France that could be worn
all the time, so here's your chance.
You ought to see these old boys COM
ing down the street with pair of
these shoes on; sounds like bunch
of wild horses. Most of the young
girls wear leather shoes, but have
wooden ones to work in.

GEM RED CROSS QUOTA
is $4,000
Campaign to be Opened Sunday,
MAY 19, with Parade and
Big Meeting

The Red Cross drive for 100000
600 starts Monday, May 20, and ends
May 81. Gem and Valley counties
share of the million dollars asked Of
Idaho is $4,000.
May 10 is officially announced as
Red Cross Sunday Every minister
in both counties is requested to preach
a Red Cross sermon on that day. A
monster parade of the schools, all
lodges and fraternal organizations in
full regalia, carrying American flags,
Red Cross banners, and their lodge
banner is being planned for Sunday
followed by a rousing patri-
otic program at the Liberty theater
in which every man, woman and child
in the valley will take part. d. H.
VanDeusen, chairman of the former
War Fund drive last June, will be in
charge He together with J. W. Tyler
and G.. B. Mains were this week in
Boise getting plans and supplies for
the campaign.
The picture show will run special
reels for that week. Every man and
woman is expected TO do his duty and
no excuse short of death will be ac-
cepted. In fact, nothing short of that
is an excuse Too busy haven't !
time etc, won't go. You are not
too busy and you had better take the
time. Our boys have the time to die.
In the face of that sacrifice, the little
you are asked to do is not worth men
.ioning. Stacker is an ugly word.
While you may not be Stacker, nor
'eel like one, and would be terribly
nsulted if some one should call you
me, when you neglect to do your
part you are doing exactly like
ilacker does--and people may not be
Ible to tell the difference.

Have You Starine Power.

Once upon time q gun carriagf

our training camps The men tried
in vain to get it out OF the mire. They
hitehed one mule after another 10 It
Each mule made q frantic effort 70

stayed back
But bye and bye the men got an
ugly old army mule and hitched him
at the head OF the team and ne start

into a bit OF hard ground and he
hung on to it and ne pulled and pulled
and pulledand the gun and its car
rage were yanked out OF the swamp.
That ugly old mule had the right
quality in him. He was q good mule.
He had grit. He had the staying quail

his mustache and goatee. He is glad
to get back, and of course the boys
are glad to have him with them
again. Tom Eggleston was down Sun

ly looks good. There are Is or 20 bar
racks about 100 feet long and 20 feet
wide. The buildings are of wood and

Don Eagleson is now driving an
ambulance for the Foot School" The
Foot School is new institution for
Uncle Sam, and think the name is
used to fool US poor soldiers. But we
are wise. To this school all the men
who have bad feet and legs and fat
feet are sent for treatment. And for
exercise they farm the big ranch the
U. S. government has leased there,
raising spuds and other vegetables for
the army.
Uncle Sam has installed many diff
ferent things that were never heard
of in the army before, and all for the
good of the soldier. The one thing
that makes the French sit up and
take notice is the sanitation. You
know all the bad boys in the army are
punished severely and not let free like
they would be in civil life. So if any
take notion to get drunk or stay out
late at night or do not do what he is
told, he is thrown into the guardhouse
All the guard house men are given

slider it enough to clean up the sur
roundings of the camp, but the streets
of the town must be swept and the
canal, or what we could call the irriga- |
ting bitches, are cleaned regularly. 1t |
makes the French stand around with |
wide-open eyes to see the soldiers |
cleaning bitches that haven't been
cleaned for two hundred years or
more. One of the Frenchmen said the
other day that after the war, France
would have revolution and the up
to-date methods of the Americans
will take the place of the old-time
French methods, so l guess our meth
DDS meet with their approval.

From Jesse Meyer.

(Jesse Meyer, cook, writes the fol-
lowing letter to his brother-in-law,
Andy Wright. He also encloses a
photograph of himself in his cook S
uniform. He sure looks like a French
-chef.-Ed.)
Somewhere Else in France. l have
moved since writing last, April s.
This is great country, great
deal like the states, all but the people
and the buildings; they are so far be-
hind the times. They all wear wooden
shoes. Whenever you want to go out
with a girl she can be heard walking
for about half a mile. 1t is sure lots
of fun, but what do we care; they have
lots of fun with US. The streets are
laid solid with brick, just about the
same as paved. But the roads are cer-
tainly fine Today is Sunday and it
has been raining all morning, but it
looks as if it were going to clear up.
The French people are starting to do
their blowing. They only use one of
those little jackasses on plow; the
old man holds the plow and the boy
limit. They don't know what it is
to have team hitched up like we do
in the states. They only use one
horse to cart and walk and lead it,
so you see how slow they are.
We are in a new hospital now. r
can't tell you the size of it nor where
it is. Major Clark got back today
and we sure were glad to see him,
for he is the same old Doctor Clark
as when we left the state or the U.
S. A.-Oh, how big that soundsl
When you see Skinner tell him that
/ send my best regards to the Index
and tell him when Clarence wants a
piece of pie he always looks Jess up,
or if he does not get up in time for
breakfast where he is boarding he |
down to my kitchen and of |
course l would not turn a poor SOL
dier boy away hungry, and so l give
him big feed. He is as fat as pig; |
his girl would not know him. He has
a good job. John Gamage is mail boy
and we sure give him thunder when
he doesn't bring us a letter Kip
Harrell is not with us at the present
time, nor Harry Foster either. All
the rest of the boys are we'll and fat
I don't want you to think the boys
over here are not getting enough to
eat, for they are. We have no kick
at all on the grub; they feed as good
as we could expect. l will tell you
what am going to have for dinner:
Roast beef, mashed potatoes, brown
gravy, creamed onions, blackberry pie,
bread, butter, coffee and tomatoes. So
we will get by on that till the next
meal.
