Here Is a good story true to life: A
man went to health resort, and in
each letter he wrote to friends at
home he stated that he was constant
ly improving and felt 10 years young
er than when he wrote the last let
ter. Finally he quit writing letters,
and the friends at home became
alarmed, and started an investigation,
and discovered that their old neigh
Dor had lied at the health resort with
cholera ;nfantum.
A little girl was asked by her
teacher 20 write a composition of 500
words about an automobile trip. So
she wrote about her papa buying a
new car, taking the family out for a
ride, and running into a tree and
tearing off wheel. She had used up
about 800 words when she reached
that part CT her composition that told
about tearing off the wheel. The
other 200 words are what papa said,
and l don't like to write them down
here" was her concluding sentence.

OUR BOYS
OUR CQUN7RY'S SERVICE

The following letter in part Will be
of interest to the many friends Oh
Pvt. Erantz G. Hook of East VIM,
who enlisted in the service carry last
spring. He is the eldest son or Mr..
and Mrs. Charles Hook and hved
most of his boyhood days In East
Winn and was a general favorite
with all.
Somewhere in France,
March 8, 1918.
Dear Mother and Father:
Our Company F has been in the
trenches, got lousy, three Of our men
were wounded, one killed and then we
came out again. The man killed was
Joseph Chassin, a good friend to me.
suppose his death has been in the
papers.
You know, Mother, am not scared
of a gun but the Germans have some
bad ones. We captured about 20
Germans the other day. They were
clothed very badly, not one of them
had on a full uniform. Some had on
boots and some slippers. One night
we gave them some of our gas, and
the French said that we got about so
of them. have two gas masks so l
am pretty well supplied.
l saw a great aeroplane fight the
other day. The French had a bal
loon Up and the Germans shot it
down with their airplanes. That
makes two l have seen shot down.
When we were in the trenches we
had 20 be very careful Of the water
we drank on account Of the Germans
poisoning it. But we are now back
where the water is good. I have a
good gun and plenty of ammunition,
SO I should worry.
When we were in the trenches in
February. we had a turkey dinner for
George Washington and believe me it
tasted some good. Four of us came
out of the trenches one day ahead of
the company. We started walking
about o'clock in the morning and
got to our stopping place about 4 in
the afternoon. We joined Co. X and
had some hot bread and butter and
last of all four large doughnuts. We
were some hungry. l think l would
like some American bean soup
though. | haven't been sick a day
since l joined the army so | haven't
had to so near a hospital.
Write every day. With love to all,
Your loving son,

That people worldwide over shall be

The warriors for liberty to feed.

And grind his power beneath my rusty
