There IS quite large stream near

Ever since we have been here I have
had a longing TO see what was on the
other side Of the hill. SO this morning

so in our traveE we kept our eyes open
and we found one-a nule-a very small

Miss Stimson is some flyer Ii she
had plane like the good ones over

Some Of the little planes over here can
do anything-a bird isn't In it at all but
of course the smaller planes can't so
as high as the larger ones because they
haven't the wing surface to hold them
up ia tho thin air. but they are good.
When our airmen are Owes the front
they are right there" ard can't be beat
they are Eood-thats all there is to
1t I would like TO so 10 the front, but
as we can't all DO that we are working
all the harder to make up for it. They
can't set along without these planes
and they have to be taken care OF right.
so We arc hghting every day TO get our
fighters ia good shape to do what we
would like TO do The trip I told YOU
about was TO Tours but I went in 9
roundabout way and took in several hne
places, but can't tell you their names
now as they are places we can't tell
about but I have IL all down il my
diary and can tell YOU sometime.
The people jump az the Liberty Loan.

 Several other letters found in the little desk, some of them covered with brownish stains. indicating that Miss Lusk had handled them after she had killed Mrs. Roberts and shot herself, also were read. One headed "explana- tion," declared:
 "Oh, am sorry, sorry that all this has happened. Yet I had rather have had this experience, painful as it has been, than to have gone through life without knowing what love can mean. I can't honestly believe I have been sinful. The only treason has been in not telling Mrs. R. I always wanted to but he was afraid Oh, well, it soon will be over"

A. Gavin, an Eng fish player. with view to arranging series of Red Cross golf contests in both eastern and middle west cities for midsummer.

dress, he remarked on the feeling of home which he had when he arrived in a mining camp; formerly, he said he had been a miner, and he felt a spirit of friendship when he toured the mines Of the district this afternoon and talked with the men underground. The clothes he was wearing. he said, except for shoes, rifle and side arms, were the clothes of the trench. Then he removed his steel helmet, placing it on the floor beside him. His face was for the first time fully visible.
 His was an agreeable face; just the face one would expect an American soldier to have Little wrinkles caused by smiles radiated from the eyes. The chin bespoke fighting spirit. The eyes were black and they sparkled with enthusiasm which told of a will to dare and do. The forehead was high, and above it was black. army-cut hair. And withal, his expression was friendly, frank. open and clean-but with a cer- tain determination which fairly shout ed a warning to the Hun who might oppose his advance or seek his de- strucion.
 Life in Trenches.
 Corporal Whited opened his ad- dress with a brief story of the laading in France, and subsequent trip to The front, of the the hardships endured before starting for the trenches and of the arrival by a night hike of five miles with full pack in the trenches. Of the first few days in the frnn+ lines he told vividly, and of his first trips into No Mans Land, of his first excur sion to the German barbed wires of falling into shell craters, of days and nights in bitter cold, and of the first fire through which he passed with his companions.
 Toward the end of his first ten days in the trenches, the corporal told his audience, he was called on by hin ser geant to accompany him on dutY.,1aey went ont on laison patrol, between strong points. Coming suddenly around a bend in the trenches, his party of five met eleven Teutons. A 1 battle at close range ensued; the ser geant accounted for four of the {. Hun; Corporal Whited took one pris- | oner and killed two of the enemy; and ] the others accounted for the remain l ing four Prussian patrols In this man. ner, the corporl said he won the Croix de Guerre, which he wore proudly on | his breast.
 Goodrich Speaks.
 Roy Goodrich, state chairman of the Red Cross in this drive, who came to the district with Corporal Whited, pre- ceded the ambassador from France to the platform. He spoke briefly of the work of the Red Cross, of the cam 1aign in the United States and Arizona md of the many goods which are be- ng accomplished by the organization. He called attention to the constcuc- i've endeavors of the Red Cross, and o the manner in which 1t accom- Jlishes it's ends.
 In the last campaign, said NIT. Good -ich, the slogan for the workers and he population was Give until it lurts." In this campaign, declared the , peaker, this slogan is all right.
