over Central, Eastern, West ern and Northern France and l haven't seen anything that would keep me over here after this war is over. I must say they have some pretty gardens and farms but that is about all I can see.
 The American people at home have no conception of this war, as much as they read and hear. I know I read as much as any one about France and every bat tie, but as soon as it was finished, it had no farther effect on my mind. But to see what we see and have seen is quite different. All they write in the papers is true, but it doesn't appeal to the minds of people at home. But I am going to make the best out of 1t 1 can. We get plenty to eat all of the time and that is the main thing over here. They say war is Hell, but it is double that when you are in war and go hungry too. People at home kicked because they had to eat corn bread for breakfast. I wish I could see some any time, it would serve as a desert to me.
 Well I hope you people have made good crops and can save them, for it helps to win the war. I think we will win next spring, if the winter isn't too bad so we can't travel.
 Must close, hoping to hear from some of you people some time.

HOUSING PATRIOTIC MEETING
 PUTNAM GRANGE
War Savings Committee Formed
 Good Program.

Putnam Grange observed it's first war anniversary Monday night with whole-hearted patriotism
 Mrs. W. J. Bartlett, lecturer, in welcoming the audience, alluded to it's being the anniversary of the Unit ed States entering the war. The an niversary also sees the third Liberty Loan launched. She touched on the Thrift Stamp campaign and said that Putnam Grange was expected to do itself proud in coming to the aid of the country.
 The Junior Chautauqua Alumni chorus was present. For the benefit of these children she said Then to the boys and girls between IS and r believe the year 1918 will go down in history as the year offering the greatest opportunity for thrift ever known. The government has taken the future of our children in hand with a system of thrift all worked out for them, so we have invited the very best speaker to be present and speak on The Thrift Stamps in Every Home.
 Judge L. H. Fuller was then intro duced and held the close attention of the audience, especially the children, upon whom he made a profound im- pression. He gave clear heart to heart talk and illustrated many of his points with stories. He thought the thrift stamp system the most wonder 1 ful thing ever tried and he urged the children to save their quarters and go to the post office and buy. He told them that no one could withdraw the money but themselves and he explain ed how to convert the stamps. He said that the sale of stamps in Put nam already amounts to S1,768.80, and he predicted that $l0,000 would be sold this month.
 Miss Helen Sharpe gave out liter ature on War Savings Societies, what they have to do, and how to organize l them.
 Miss Katherine Byrne was appoint ed temporary chairman and Mrs. FL sic Johnson secretary, and the War 1 Savings Society of Putnam Grange was formed with members as follows Howard c.

JOHN WEARY CUT TO PIECES BY
 TRAIN
Dayville Grade Crossing Claims An
 other Victim

John Neary, 50, an operative in the mills in this section, was instantly killed and his body cut to pieces when he was struck by the south bound boat train at the grade cross ing in Dayville, last Saturday night. So badly was the body mangled l1at pieces of it were scattered from the Dayville railroad station for an eighth of a mile to the bridge over which the troIleys cross the steam roadway. It was with difficulty that the identity of the man was discovered on account of the horrible mutilation of his feat ures The face was entirely torn away. arms and legs were cut off, head crushed to pulp and he was otherwise mangled and torn to bits.
 Coroner Bill of Danielson, who made an investigation, said Sunday afternoon that there was little doubt that the man walked in front of the train while in an intoxicated condi- tion.
