The Committee on Public In
formation has made the follow
ing translation of a story appear
ing in the October Is, 1917, issue
of the Leipziger Volkszeitung:.
"A sample of the fashion after
which bloated landlords treat the
wives of soldiers has been
brought to our ottention from
Upper Langenau in Silesia, One
of the hired men of DR.. Mueller's
agricultural estate has been for a
long time at the front. His wife
who had worked alongside her
husband before the war after the
usual custom, remained in the
ranks of the field hands and ac-
cordingly retained her farm cot
tage. October 1st this woman
got the following letter:
"The undersigned baliff of the
estate hereby gives you notice as
of this date to the field service
for January |, 1918. On that
day you are to give up your house
The work which you are doing on
the farm does not compensate
the farm for the loss which ac-
crues to it through the continued
of your. family. Look
out for yourself away from this
farm, your house is needed for
other use".
The woman communicated
the notice to her husband with /
these words : 4 must tell you

able to see the paper for my tears
What shall | do? Winter is at the

The Roy Garage has installed
a complete lighting system
which makes the place the bright
est place in town at night.
It's a "Delco" system and
has one Of the finest little gene

battery is sufficient to carry the
necessary lights for several
hours. 1t is noiseless, conven-
lent, efficient and economical and
the Davenport Bros. are to be

Red River Bridge

The S-A. family accepted the
invitation of DR.. o. A. Sale and
wife to drive to Red River Bridge
Sunday afternoon. 1t was a
dandy trip, we stopped the car at
the top of the hill, as it is still a
stiff climb and the new road is A,
inches deep in dust all the way
down and it would be some car
that could pull it. The road will
be fine when itsettles but oil or
Concrete will be- necessary to
make it an auto road.
We walked tothe bridge and
got a better idea Of the job IT has
been to build the piers than we
prlviously had from looking down
ON them from the top of the can \
yon thousand feet above. We
would advise anyone starting
down to know that their breaks
are working right. 1t is an inter
esting walk to the bridge and a
climb that tests your lungs as
we'll as your legs coming back up
out it is a sight worth seeing.
The snow storm that gathered in
,he afternoon made home and a
warm fire seem mighty good on

states mean. Last Friday morn

winter weather. Compared with
every place east of us according
to the papers, we are getting off
easy as usual. A finer winter no
one ever Saw except the lack of

produce the more poultry and

that food we eat the less beef

leaving that much more to 20 to

By poultry production we get
