LETTER FROM FRANCE.
A. E. F., Oct. 18th, 1918.

A. Z. F., Oct. I1th, 1918.
Dear Homefolks -
Will try to write you a few lines
tonight. have finally received
some mail from you ALL Got five
the other night, all at once. Sure
was glad to get them and to know
that you all were well. One was
written in August and the other four
in September.
Well, we have been having some
more action on the front, and as you
already know there is some sad news
to write. 1t sure was a shock Err
nests death. / never saw him after
he was killed, but the boys that were
with him said that he was doing his
duty. / am sure it will be great
shock to his parents.
Guess you have heard all kinds Of
rumors, but don't believe anything
till you know for sure. When any
body is wounded severely or killed,
a telegram is sent to his relatives by
the government. So, if you hear
anything don't believe it until you
know for sure whether there is any
thing to it or not.
The Lord has seen fit to spare me
through this, and if / am spared to
come back to the United States,
want to make something out of myself
and be of some use to the Lord Of
course | don't live like ] ought to, and
! perhaps do many things that l
should not do, but | am trying to live
right and ! know that | have the
prayers of loved ones and others as
well, that are praying for my safe
return.
Five months ago today we set sail
for France. 1t seems.1ike long time
since / left, and then sometimes it
doesn't seem so long.
Myrtle, you wanted to know what
had become of Sylvia. / got let
ter from her also, and she is still in
Middlesboro, KY, also hear from
Addie about once each week. She
has gone back home from school; said
in her last letter she thought she
would stay at home this winter.
The letters that you sent me CON
tanned, think, the most news that
you have written for a long time.
What does Dewey think of having
to register? Well, l don't think he
will have to come to France. What
lis he working at in Johnson City?
l think have written just about
all that can. hope that this finds
all WE'LL and getting along all 0. X.
| am well and am getting along first
rate.
viii close for this time. Think
perhaps we will get to take rest
now, and ! win try to write you more
often.
Crack sold Jim'sD cOcoanut for
me, and tell daddy not to work too
hard, and mamma to quit writing
me about the last mess Of tomatoes,
but just wait until / get a chance at
them.
Lots Of love to all,
ROBERT HIcE.

The boys went on their first spring
hike last Saturday morning, to the
elbow outs" east of town. Many
games and stunts occupied the the
time. Probably the most interesting
game was going over the top of the
cuts into "No Mans Land. A little
war game that was quite interesting.
One troop was able to camouflage on
the open prairie, within 100 feet Of
the enmey.
A scout should not feel disappoint-
ed or. "sore" if he is needed at home
to work while the troop is on hike.
There is nothing quite so dignified
as productive labor, so if you have a
steady job these Saturdays, feel good
that you are doing something to help
out.
Frank Highland and Chalmer
Moore are sick with the Liberty
measles.
We boys noticed that among the
$4,000 rabbits sold in Liberal this
winter there wasn't male rabbit in
the bunch. It must be alarming the
scarcity of bass voices there are in
rabbit heaven.
Some Of the boys are getting new
uniforms. Boy Scout clothes are the
cheapest you can buy now. Why not
wear them altogether?
The National Headquarters have
asked our troop for SIS to help carry
on the war work and to help bring
the advantage of Scouting to the 8
million boys that would like to be
scouts but cannot. More scoutmas-
tiers are needed. So per cent of the
scoutmasters are in the government
service.
The Boy Scout that isn't beginning
to plan his garden for this summer is
liable to be Stacker.

G.. w. Edison Family
Leave for Colorado
They Will Take Up Life on Their
Ranch in That
Country.

Mr.. and Mrs. C. W. Edison and
sons left this morning for Grand
Junction, Colorado, this morning
where they expect to establish resi-
.dence. Mr.. and Mrs. Edison have
made Liberal their home for many
years and have many friends in the
city who regret to have them leave
but hope they will enjoy their new
home and make many good friends
there. Mr.. Edison save he will not
say that he will never come back, for
if they are not satisfied with their
new location they may return as they
like Liberal and her people. The
Eidsons are moving to Colorado that
they may be nearer their ranch and
look after its interests.

Christian Church
People Do Honor to
Departing Members
Gave Dinner for c. L. Edison, G. E.
Matkin and J. L. Bridges Families
Who Leave Soon.

The members of the Christian
church entertained at 6 o'clock din
ner Friday evening, honoring Mr.. and
Mrs. G. E. Matkin Jr. and family, Mr..
and Mrs. G. W. Edison and family
and Mr.. and Mrs. ]. L. Bridges and
family who are leaving the city soon.
After enjoying the excellent din
+ner which the United Workers had
prepared, Mesdames Salley and
Pysher rendered vocal duet, after
which came the sad part of the event.
Rev. Taylor gave a short talk ex-
pressing the regret of the congrega-
ton at giving up so faithful men,
bers as these good people have been,
and giving them good wishes for hap
piness and prosperity in their new
homes. 1t was with much difficulty
that Mr. Matkin, Mr.. Edison and Mr..
Bridges responded with a word of
parting, as they have made many
friendships that are very dear to
them.
Evangelist Rayburn was asked to
give short talk, which he very gra-
ciously did, speaking a few appro-
pirate words and offered prayer ask
ing Gods blessing to continue with
the departing members and to be
with the remaining ones that they
might be ever faithful.
The church indeed suffers great
loss ing living up Mr.. Matkin and.
daughter, Miss Helen, Mr.. Matkin
having been an ever faithful and an
efficient choi Header and Miss Helen
his accompanist for about two years.
The Watkins have all been instru-
mental in making the music at the
Christian church the very best to be
secured.
The Matkin family is moving to
Saltwater, Oklahoma, where Mr.. Mat
kin has accepted a position as assist
ant cashier of the First National
Bank at that place. The Edison fam
lily leave for Grand Junction, Colo

CAME NEAR LOSING A
FINE BARN BY FIRE

Last Saturday night as Mr.. and
Mrs. B. E. Lyle of near Lorena ar
rived home from the Rayburn meet
ing about 10 o'clock, the feed rack
near their fine barn, worth $1,000 to
$500, was in flames and but for
their timely arrival and the hearty
response Of kind neighbors there
there would have been very dis
astrous fire.
Mr.. Lyle says there was something
like twenty-five neighbors assisting
Great care should be exercised in
regard to file while everything is SO
dry.

Now, along with the meatless,
wheatless and sweetless days the wo-
men are inaugurating, wouldn't it be
famous idea for the men to put on
smokeless day? The price of four
cigars burned in one day will keep
Belgian or French baby in food for
nearly week. Also it will buy
enough corn meal to last the average
family week in the form of mush
once daily. The money for one good
cigar will buy one loaf of bread from
which family can make one meal.

nal.

ROY MATKIN HAD GOOD SALE

Roy Matkin was a visitor at this
office Monday morning and informs
us he had dandy good sale Thurs
day. The independence Ladies Aid

over $4,000. Mr.. Matkin then made
them a present of SIS which helped
their treasury considerably. The

have some of the best country in

LITTLE THINGS WE'VE
BEEN THINKING

-
1t takes mighty good man to tell
people lot Of things about them
selves that they don't like to believe,
and do it in such manner that they
will come back for more--but Evan
gelist Rayburn is doing it right along.
Prof. Wickland is winning the peo-
pie of Liberal with his singing-one
can't help but like it. And he is
handling the monster chorus in a
very pleasing manner.
Rev. Rayburn's definition of choir
leader in the average church-"Sec-
rotary of War"
If it becomes necessary to enlarge
the tabernacle many more times there
is going to be shortage of lumber
in Liberal. No one imagined it was
going to require so much material to
house an audience in this old town.
Get your song book as you enter
the door-don't forget this as you
might feel like singing after you have
been inside a while.
Rev. Rayburn in announcing the
cemetery meeting tonight said:
Don't let the city of the dead be a
disgrace while the city of the living
is well kept. You have nice site for
your cemetery; but it needs cleaning
up. 1t is small job. Everyone
should be interested" At 1880 to-
night at the Tabernacle.
We "fess up" we don't know the
reason. In a mixed audience it seems
that the ladies do most of the singing,
but at the mems meeting yesterday
afternoon at the Tabernacle there
were no ladies present, and there was
some mighty good music, too. In
fact the music was very enjoyable
part of the service.
