Dear Aunt Jimmie:
Your letter and card of July
24th reached me on August 18th,
so you see it takes quite awhile
for a letter to get over here dur
ing times like these.
| was in Paris three weeks and
have been in Toul about three
months. Day before yesterday
we were ordered to evacuate this
hospital in five days. Not that
we are in any greater danger
than we have ever bean, but be-
cause it is necessary to use this
place for something else the pur-
pose and details of which am
not permitted to discuss. | rath-
er think we are going to Nancy
about thirty kilometers from
here.
1t is not very safe to send pack
ages from here at this time for |
know so many people who have
tried to send things back home
and they were lost. so l am not
going to start any packages. |
am not in a good place to buy a
waist for | am really out in the
country at present, Everything
is very high here and l am not
buying anything. tried to get
everything | needed before | left
the States, hope to be able to
make some purchases before re-
turning home.
The war goes on. the American
boys are wonderful and every.
body is proud of them. Nobody
has any idea when it will all end
and haven't the slightest when
/ shall return to America. Per-
|sanally, / do not see how the war
can end very soon and it is my
intention now to stay till its over.
1 understand Bro. Bell was called
July 25th, presume that he will
be sent to a training camp for
some time before he will come
over here. / have heard from the
boys and they are real well,
This mornings mail brought a
letter from Florine, she and Hat
tie are in Durango now.
The weather here this summer
has been delightful, we have
had only a few warm days and
have slept under blankets every
night. l imagine we will get
good and cold this winter because
the houses are not heated as well
as they are in America. but |
brought plenty of warm clothing
along and think can manage to
be comfortable. / have been
real well and like the work very
much. Have had some experience
which l shall never forget.
Please remember me with love
and good wishes to all the rela-
tives and inquiring friends. With
love for yourself.

Farm Bureau Notes
BY Sam Jordan
Round. Up

r. i L. .
Preparations are still under
way on the program for the Coun-
ty Round Up to be held on Oct.
81 and November l and 2. The
features will be special programs
for the schools of the county
which will be dismissed for that
time, a program for the Home
Economies Department and one
for the Farm Bureau Department
and these programs will be carri-
ed on perhaps until three o'clock
in the afternoon when a popular
lecture will be given in the cir
cult court room and another pop
ular lecture will be given each
evening. We are endeavoring to
make these programs as good as
they were last year and if we do
nobody will be disappointed. We
are more than anxious for the
county to put on big corn show.
The premium list is being made
up and the premiums will be very
liberal. We want the poultry
growers to put on their show at
that time and we have thought
that on this occasion our baby
show should be a beauty show.
Due announcements will be made
of all the features in the coming
Farm Bureau News in its first
issue. We expect to publish it
each month hereafter. tits hoped
that everybody will make ar
rangements to attend this event
as it is one Of the biggest features
of the year. We are expecting
in addition to the corn show to
have a seed corn sale. 1t is safe
to say at this time that one per-
son will be allowed to sell as much
as 10 bushels. This seed should
be carefully gathered and select
ed and thoroughly dried out, and
if it is in good condition there is
no doubt but what it will bring a
good price. Seed Corn is going
to be a great object again or at
least things point that way now.
Persons who have some good corn
can undoubtly realize nice money
out Of it and the fellow that does
not have good seed will be anxi-
GUS to secure it. A few bushels
brought to the sale will be the
best possible advertisement. It
has been proposed that the entire
corn show be sold and all the
seed corn that is sold as seed, al
small commission will be charged
and after premiums and expens-
es are paid, should any money be
left it will be turned over to the
Red Cross of the comfy, This
event can be as big as people
make it. We are depending on
every one in the county to do his
full share. We are looking at
this again as another demonstra-
ton Of the patriotic devotion. |
Every feature will be clean and
no questionable events viii be al
lowed.
The other day a man told me
that he wanted 100 head of feed
er cattle. In a short time S5 head
were located for him. The Office |
has inquiries about feeder hogs. |
Let us know what you have.
Good buyers can be brought here
If they know they can get the
stuff. / cannot give out the in
formation that / do not have.
Two or three lots of good timothy
seed have been reported for sale.
Much breeding stock should also
be wanted and for sale. Let the
Bureau help you.
