 My Dear Mother:
 Received your letter of last Monday and will answer it as this afternoon we are on our "our own". I have not gone to San Diego yet but one of the boys from my battery went and he saw Wade Jeffries but did not tell him I was here as he is in the Naval Training Station in Balboa Park which is in the heart of the city and we are l| miles from the city.
 Yes, the artillery uses horses and they are all big ones and as wild as can be, the least one will not weigh less than 1900 pounds and there are several Which have not benn ridden vet, but 1 am not getting on a horse for no one and so far l nave managed to get out of Tldlng since coming here. les, I'm still a wind jammer" am pretty good at itnow. Say before 1 forget it, tell Raney my address for I don't want to mss a copy of the News.
 am certainly glad to know mat George arrived safely over seas and would like to be With him and that wont be very long, l think, but I am alrald when we leave t h e states that we'll go to Siberia.
 l received the papers you

sent me and when I had fin lshed reading them I went up the Battery street yelling "Arkansas Gazette" and you should have seen the Arkan- sas boys coming for them as soon as one finishes they are passed from one to another until there is not much reading matter on them when it is all done.
 l have solved your puzzle and will send it back to you. It is an elephant. I have not seen much since coming here so can not tell you much as yet, though the climate here is entirely different than that ac Douglass. The place I mailed your letter (Yuma, Arizona) it was 127 in the shade when we passed through, and here we have a cooler day and at night we get pretty chilly.
 We'll, it is nearing time for guard-mount and I must close for this time as all buglers ln the regiment (12 in number) have to blow 5 marches for the guard as we have no band in our regiment for when the 308th. arrived it was made in- to two regiments the 65th and 66th and the 65th got the band. A battery consists of 2O7 men but at present we have only 75 men in a battery but there are 5000 recruits here awaiting to be assigned to the different regiments and batteries and we will get 125 of them. It is time for me to go. Will write more next time so Bye-Bye. With love, Your Son,

HOW LIBERTY LOAN
SUBSCRIPTIONS WERE HAN
DIED IN MIDDLE WEST

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 19.-"Assuming
that there io no good reason why one
loyal American should chase other
equally loyal citizens through corn
fields, cellars, attics, and silos to get
them to do their duty as they ex-
pressed it, several county committees
in the Middle West have adopted
system of obtaining Liberty Loan sub.
scriptions which has attracted wide
comment from members of commit
tees in the Southern states. In the
Third Loan campaign 1t worked so
well that il is expected to spread over
the whole country in the Fourth loan
campaign, which opens on September
% and continues three weeks.
The plan was simply to prepare a
mailing list containing the name Oh
every man in the county. First, the
campaign was thoroughly explained
to every citizen. Then, later on, a
registration notice was sent him, re-
uuesting him to report for registra
ton at q certain place on a certain
day. Three days we're taken for reg
istration, and some of the counties re-
ported that every man was listed and
his subscription taken on those three
days, instead of in a long campaign
of solicitation.
In registering, each man was given
a property statement card, with
blanks for entering his financial state
ment, listing his property in land
live stock, money, household goods
and every other item, just as though
he were making tax return, though
actual value was required. The com
mitee assessed him for an investment
of two per cent of his wealth, so tina
a man worth $4,000 was expected :
invest in 5000 worth Of bonds.
While registration and investmen
was by no means compulsory, it ha
been found that hardly citizel
failed to meet all the expectations o
the campaign committee, and com
through" with his fair share, as every
body felt that his neighbors were be
ing called upon for an equally fai
loan to the government.

Youth and Old Age.

Between youth and old age there is
a n~ever-ending conflict. Vitality is
continually pitted against experience
and victory NAV fall to either one or
the other.
Among the greatest names of his
tory We find, side by side those of
youth and old age. Men who have
lived temperate lives and who have es-
capped the aggravating infrmities of
age are often more than the match
for youth in mental endurance.
The health and efficiency of an elder
ly man depends largely upon his men,
tai attitude. The men who begins
to look W his shoulder at fifty will
be stumbling through life at sixty;
while zone who is continually looking
ahead and seeking intellectual adj
vancement will continue to increase in
mental capacity. The brains power
continues to grow after the maximum
physically strength has been reached.
For the man Of advanced years SIM
pie diet and regularity of habits are
essential. The physiologic processes
are less active and many structures
lack the elasticity of youth and should
not be subject to undue strain.
Tolerant age IS more than a match
for i~ntolerant youth and the mental
poise which should come with advanc-

Whether or not the f~ranternized with
his cousins the wolves and the coyotes
can not be known certainly. No doubt
