BAUCHARD GOES ABROAD

Below is a letter received this week by Mrs. E. Hunter, from her son Amable Bauchard which will interest his many friends here.
 Dear Mother,
 Your letter gratefully re- ceived. 1 see by the papers the new Liberty Loan is meeting with great success, so I am not worrying as my old Uncle is quite an honorable old gent and is generally able to meet his financial obligations. Gee $8.6O for 30 days of trial, tramping, toll and torment. Say, back in the good old days when we us- ed to assemble around the table (not the dinner table) I have lost that much just to see wheth CT or not the City Marshal was bluffing. He generally packed home the bacon, unless Larry had one of his phenominal streaks of luck.
 l have turned over a new leaf. No more burning of the midnight oil" for me. Am in the hay every night at 9:3O and have stood off old "J.B." ever since I crossed the Kansas line, and never even broke over on St. Patricks Day.
 We'll, Mother, my Uucle gave me a free ticket for an extend ed tour, and I am billed for ov- sea duty immediately. I will soon be chasing or be being chased by the Germans. Some of these may out run me if I am after them, but they will sure have to show some speed if l am in the lead.
 Jimmy O'Brien is still with me and says to send his regards to all.
 Hope to be home in time for the spring roundup next year, and to help plant spuds. But listen here, if I am not back don't plant any spuds. I have been praying constantly that next years potato crop be a failure, as I have been peeling spuds until I can't look one in the eye any more. Gee, I don't see where they all come from.
 We'll, Goodbye,
 Your son Amable. P. s. Address all Christmas packages to A. O. Bauchard,

They were not disap- pointed for not only canteen ser vice workers were present, but also a representative gathering of town people. The enlisted men showed their appreciation of the spirit of hospitality offer ed them by singing and cheer ing.
 An unsual addition to the Canteen Service is the distribu- tion of post cards, furnished by Red Cross Headquarters. These were welcomed Thursday, and at least fifty were used. The customary apples, gum, maga- zines and smokes" were as acceptable as ever..

WRITES FROM FRANCE

Mrs. Harry. A. Boulin has re- ceived an interesting letter from her brother now in France
 This letter was read at the Red Lake Woman's Club this week, and brief portions are given below.
 Somewhere in France Dear Sis,
 *** We are having pret- ty fair weather in France, and am glad to hear you are having the same in Arizona.
 All the houses I have seen here are made of rock, in the villages. They are not very careful in getting the streets straight. Some streets would break a snakes back, trying to follow.
 The majority of the people in this locality wear wooden shoes and when they dance they re- move the shoes. I am glad 1 never learned to dance.
 We have a baseball game here occasionally. * *
 We'll, there is not much of anything for me to write about so will close * * *,

Aid Provided
Just When Needed

There were CHASTITY enough wounds
even among the walking cases, and
soon every one Of the four urand-thirty
little aid posts was blessed centre Of
bleeding humanity. with clothes and
flesh in shreds, with faces CORY and
haggard and twisted with pain. At
times no face whatever could be seen,
nothing but bloody bandages hastily
fixed by the stretcher bearers under
fire. But in most cases there was a
mouth somewhere, and if it could by
any means drink and eat, it felt 100
per cent happier for these things, thou
sands per cent better for the brotherly
love that had provided them right there
in the very thick of things and just at
the exact moment when they were most
needed.
A sense Of horror at the dread price
at which even an overwhelming success
has been purchased; the horror of
blood everywhere. 1t is horrible, hor-
ribe. A sense of amazed admiration
at the fortitude, courage and modesty
of our men. Not one groan or whine
did hear as l moved about amono
them, from in the morning till at
night and again from II at night till

The English who occupy sector

their methods of order and discipline.
In twinkling whole villages were
cleaned, provided with lavatories and
toilets and with meeting rooms for the
Iommles. On the roads khaki police
men regulate traffic, autos, wagons.
In france we regret that we are not
good organizers and that we are prone
TO leave things to individual initiative.
ana we say quite properly that in this
respect the English are our masters.

Latin allies might still be our pupils

and IN the distribution of labor.
And time passes. Christmas and New
Years far from France are somewhat
dreary.
But the little "Alpin." his cap worn

proudly raises his head as he marches
through the villages; he knows that

good work and that he is writing one
OF the most glorious pages of the war.
