LETTER FROM
Roy ADAMS
Somewhere in France,
Sunday, Nov. "a, 1918.

Ny Dear Dad:
Thanksgiving, 1917, found you with
one SON enrolled as member of
Uncle Sans fighting forces, and
now 1918 finds you with two sons
wearing the Khaki-a fact that l
know makes you feel very proud, for
Dad ! am proud that | am serving
my country and | know that my dear
old Dad is proud of me, too, and to-
day being Fathers Day" and now
miles apart, still it has been a Won
derful day for me, and the greatest
part OF it all is that | have such a
wonderful country and such a gram ,
dear old dad, such a dear sweet mo-
ther to be in France for, and | am
proud because | could come to France
for you.
| have had lots OF wonderful expert
ences since Dec. 9, 1917, when tasted
first Of army life and no doubt | will
have lots more before again don a
suit of civilian clothes but Dad | don't
regret one of them for have tried to
profit by all of them instead of try
ing to find the blue" side of them.
You know most of the history of
my army life in the state, so | want
burden you with that part but I'll
try to give you start one OF the time
since | stepped on the gang-plank at
Newport News on June 5th Coming
over was easy for we took our good
easy time and landed in just 10 days,
for we took in lots of the ocean COM
ing over, in fact, | think we saw about
all of it.
We landed on the 18th day of June
and marched about 4 miles to a camp.
one of Napoleon's old camps OF
course we found lots of interesting
things there in the form of the old
barracks which were made of stone
and although we were in tents we
were inside one of the old walls that
were built in Napoleon's time.
I We rested few days then boarded
a train for Bordeaux. We hit res;
camp and rested about five days then
were moved in barracks and now We
are snugly fixed for the winter.
At first we were in tents but later
came on to our present location.
We are camped close to the river
bank and of course right close to tht
heart of Bordeaux, and all we have tc
do is to walk right out and get in the
car, pay 5 confines and ride to town
have been very fortunate in al
ways being in good company anc

General Pershing made an address
a coupel OF months ago and he said
it was Hell, Heaven or Hoboken by
Christmas" and so he knew what he
was talking about
Dad when you sit down TO that
good Christmas dinner, don't feel sad
because | am not there, for we haven
any vacant chairs" for some of these
old days Roy is going to come march
ing home and then, believe me, I'll
fill my place at mothers table" for
long, long time, SO Christmas you
just wade" into that good old Tur-
key just like | would if | was there.
Dad, | wish for you and that dear
sweet, wonderful mother of mine, and
Jim all the joy and happiness i'll the
world and which you so richly de-
serve, and may the new year bring
you only health, happiness and sue
cess and may there be nothing to
mar the sunshine of your days for
even though | am many miles away |
am with you every moment in my
thoughts. My heart, my love, and
the greatest part of it all is that |
can always feel mothers and your
love and prayers with me every mo-
ment of the time.

M EN- as well as officers of the high
est type. Then all the members of the
company are MEN as we'll as soldiers
and it is really a pleasure to be as
sociated with a bunch of men such
as compose Supply Co. 81, as we'll
as there being lots of honor in it.
The Top Sergeant, in addition to his
regular duties, furnishes us with pass
es, runs a canteen for our benefit
and does thousands of other things
for us. Then the mess sergeant"
gives us three square meals each day
and i'll addition to that furnishes us
with lots OF ammunition or in other
words is just an allround good fellow.
Then the supply sergeant keeps us
looking spic and span, even down to
supplying us safety razor blades. SO
you see our wants are we'll looked
after III every respect.
We have piano in the mess hall'
and tonight we are going to have ser
vices by "Y" man, so Dad you see
we are not rejecting the religious side
OF life by any means.
We have been spared most of the
hardships of war although we have
seen lots of it and | have seen more
than enough to make me glad that |
came to France-that | could come
to France.
When we came over in June no one
thought that the war would be over
now, for the spirit of the French peo-
pie was not any too high, and then
we saw the tide of battle turn our
way until victory was ours, and there
fore we feel that we have been repaid
a thousand fold for coming over.
We have Just had mighty fine SER
mon by "Y" man from Boston.
We are going to have a big feed
thanksgiving, and we are having a
Company Roster fixed up for that
day. We are going to have Holiday

be thankful for that day. don know

Removing a Hill to VentiIate a City.
The location of the city of Rio de
Janeiro, Brazil, is such that it is cut
off from cool winds by an elevation
known as Costello hill. For a hun
bred years or more it has been pro-
posed that this obstruction be re-
moved, and now syndicate has been
formed which has applied to the gov
eminent for permission to level the
hill, using the material removed to
reclaim large area of submerged
land. The work will involve the re-
moval of 100000 cubic yards and
it is estimated that the cost will be

Welcome Supply of Potash,

According to the experts of the geo.
logical survey and the bureau of mines,
the waters of Searles lake, in Califor-
mia, hold in solution 20,000,000 tons Of
potash. That is enough to supply the
needs of the country for commercial
fertilizer for half Il century or more
We used to import half a million tons
or more of potash year from Ger
many, and as we produce little our
-
selves the loss of the German supply
has been a serious matter for our farm
ers.-Youth's Companion.

Not Originally Military Title.

General, Ne noun, and the adjective
general, the ~ntonyn of particular, go
back to the Latin generals, meaning
belonging to race or kind, and itself
tracing to genus genera, from gigners,
to beget. Generals in Caesars and
Pompey's day had nothing to do with
the army; the Roman general was an
imperator. The title general prima-
rily means in officer holding a gen.
eral commend.

Burn SaWdust,

In some portions of France where
coal is so scarce and consequently so
expensive that it is altogether unob-
tainable by the poorer class of people,
sawdust is being used as a substitute,
according to the Popular Science
Monthly. The sawdust is rammed
G1own tightly in cylindrical metal
boxes and few drops of petroleum
are poured over it. The fire thus made
can be used for cooking and all do
nestle purposes and will burn for sew
eral hours.

AMERICA AS A MORAL FACTOR.

While Americans fighting strength,
undoubtedly, is regarded " all of the
combatants as the one element certain
of insuring the success of the Allied
armies, in Europe, not the least salts
faction the Allied belligereBts have de-
rived from the entry of the United
States into the war is FOUND ia the
fact that since the arrival of American
troops on the various fronts there has
resulted a decided improvement in so
cial conditions surrounding the fight
ing troops in Europe Appreciation of
this element of moral uplift is espec-
tally noteworthy among the Canadian
units along the British front in Bel
GUM and France
No subject has formed the basis
for greater exaggeration or for more
pro- German whisperings than the
drink and social evils in England and
France. One reason for this is proba-
bly, to be found in the action of Canad-
ian authorities suppressing books and
pamphlets printed in England describ-
ing and condemning these conditions
and urging their amendment. These
, publications circulated in England by
the hundred thousand, but in Canada
they were not allowed to be read. Not
! only was this regarded as a slight OF
the sanity and intelligence Of the Can
adam public, but it wrapped the whole
| question in an atmosphere of mystery
in which rumor and exaggeration con
sequently thrived
Nevertheless, in the earlier days of
