The allied nations have made
further increased demands on
us for breadstuffs - demands
that Americans are obligated to
meet.
In the meantime Americas
meat supply has been greatly
increased for some months to
come by the unprecedented
shipping TO market Of hogs that
averaged 232 pounds each in
stead of 2O3 pounds-the nor
NAL.
The United States Food Ad-
ministratiOn, endeavoring to ad.
just the international food bal
ance, promptly removed certain
restrictions in this country on
the use Of meat and at the same
time asked for Il smaller con-
sumption Of breadstuffs.
We are asked to observe only
one meatleSS day each week
Tuesday. We will have larger
meat stocks for awhile. But
our bread ration must be held
to minimum.

food situation is Of necessity,
subject to radical changes,
caused by crop conditions at

precarious transportation prob

The Food Administration will

 Dear Folks at Home: We arrived here today at 2 p. m. We were all feeling fine and enjoyed our trip from Beauregard We are about 100 yards from the coast and a nice cool breeze comes in from the bay which we sure enjoy after the hot days in camp in Louisiana.
 This is my first sight of the ocean and it is a grand sight to us hill boys from Arkansas. The suppositions are that we sail for over there tomorrow, and this bunch sure are anxious to get over there and mix it with those Huns. The boys are all anxious for sight of France
 Poor Henderson Scott of our com pany got his foot hurt and guess we will have to leave him here in the hos ptal for few days Nothing serious, though.
 Now, do not want you folks to worry about me for l am coming back all O. K after this work IS finished, and, oh, such experience as we will have, and the duty we have to perform is worth the sacrifice.
 We see lots of big transports here now and Uncle Sam provides us the best of protection while going over. We saw some fine country and cities while coming up here and those Red Cross ladies served us with ice tea, cake and candy at all the principal points enroute from Beauregard.
 We boys are hoping to help Kaiser Bill eat his Thanksgiving dinner in Berlin. The streets in Berlin are the ones this bunch wants to walk. Us cooks will prepare the kaiser's dinner with a big fat American goose with plenty of pepper from Machine Gun Co.,, l53 Inf.

10 the Lakeland Chapter of the Rec

| wish to thank you for the sweater
that was sent to me. The sweater
itself is certainly beautiful piece Of
workmanship but the spirit that YOU
have displayed is far more beautiful
TO me than anything else. To boy
away from home and in cold coun
try where he knows no one, there Is
nothing more beautiful than to be re-
nembered by the folks back home.
You are certainly doing work
worthy OF the highest praise and the
boys in the service all appreciate it.
Here the sweater Is certainly use
full. We are still having cold weather
and we need warm clothes. Overcoats
are part of the daily uniform and al
ways under my overcoat can be found
the sweater.
Thanking you again most heartily,
! am,
Yours very truly,
L. WALLACE HIGGINS.
You will see by the above letter
how the boys appreciate sweaters, es.
pecially those coming from the old
home town. At the present we have
no funds to buy yarn with and many
needles are not being used. After you
have read the above letter IL you wish
to add to the joy and comfort OF some
one'of our fighters, make out checE
for $3.50, the cost of the yarn, and
hand same to Mr.. W. w. Chase, the
Lakeland Chapter treasurer, and it
will be used to buy yarn with. About
twelve hundred dollars has already
been spent on this line but we have
a stream of new men going into serv-
ice every month and IL you will fur
nish the money the good women of
our city will keep the sweaters COM
ing into the work rooms in a good
stream. Who will be the first to re-
spond? It is a fine chance for lodges,
