A FORMER BELFAST BOY IN Y M.
C A. WORK.

Charles S. Bickford, city clerk, has re-
ceiyed from Ralph Gillian OF Medford
Mass, formerly of Belfast, the following
bright and breezy note OF his service tt
the boys over there:
Somewhere in France, Sept. %, 1913
Mr.. Charles S. Bickford.
Dear Sir: This is Sunday and have
lust returned from the engineers, bar
racks, where | have been preaching to
the boys There are several thousand OF
them here as it is replacement camp
and because of that they are going and
coming all the time. They are landing
in France at great rate now much to the
discomfort of Kaiser Bill and the Crown
Prince. Our boys gave them II + the
other dav. that is sure; and simply took
the courage out of them l guess. am
located "Somewhere in France" one OF
the most beautiful towns you ever saw.
France is a very beautiful country and
one cannot help liking it. But, Charles,
if anyone asks you, just remember you
are living in the greatest country under
the skies. None of these countries over
here stand any show with old America.
| am so glad | was born in the United
States and am not sorry 1T happened IN
old Maine.
The habits and customs are so different
here also. The French are very polite,
courteous race and they like the Amerl-
cans very much, indeed America is the
salvation of them all over here; that is
sure. What has been done by America
in this short time amaZes the world.
Germany has destroyed part OF North
ern France and has literally blown things
to pieces. Time and space will not per
nit me to tell of the crimes committed
by her soldiers with the sanction of their
officers. | have seen Belgian girls with
an ear off, and one with her right hand
cut off and one boy blinded in both eyes
with a hot iron. The Germans are now
getting what they deserve, only we are
hoping to give it to them stronger yet.
/ preach almost every night some where
and usually three times every Sunday. l
am IN charge of twelve stations miles
apart. Sometimes 60 by machine and
at other times walk. like it all very
much. 1t is privilege to help these fel-
lows over here. Yes, they are noble
lot of boys. We have 800 in one of our
camps who have taken the pledge not to
swear. Can you do as well in Belfast?
hope to live to see this through to
clean Hun finish. After the last 4ank
has left for home then we will be per-
mitted to sail back to Goods Country. -
Love to all my friends in Belfast,
Yours sincerely;
Ralph Gillian.

P. S. There has been plenty of excite
ment the last month or so over here and
with General Pershing it means Heaven,

grant that we may be able to bring that
nation to her knees pleading for mercy

NY dear Grandmother: 1t is long
time since wrote you last but | have
had pretty good excuse, have been at
the front where it is impossible to write
but | have not been in the trenches all
the time. The rest of the time l have
been on the road hiking, and chances of
writing are pretty slim when your outfit
is on the move and you hike all night and
sleep all day. don't know whether or
not you have been notified that | have
been wounded. The Hun got me pretty
bad this time, both legs between the
knees and thigh and my left shoulder.
Now, don't start a fretting for l am i'm
proving rapidly, my wounds are healing
and am getting the best Of treatment. l
have two very nice nurses and doctor,
who is professor of surgery, SO you see
l have the best of care. If you could
have seen me on Sept. 18th at 8 80 p. m,
you would have lost all hope, for I was
lying in an old trench with three holes in
me. Another fellow there with me got
hit with the same shell that did. The
piece of shell that went into his stomach
passed between my left arm and body
and the poor fellow died two hours later,
SO you see L all luChv. IL Will UC iii &C VI
four months beforeI will be able to walk
alone, but don't worry about that for
am very lucky to be alive at the present
moment after going through what l have.
l never lost hope for single moment,
for my motto is "my days are numbered
and God knows" Today has been the
first day that have had strength enough
to write and l will try to write oftener in
the future. Give my love to all the folks,
and will close with these words don't
worry. Good bye.

SANITARY R UMBLNG is
ESSENTIAL in THE
MODERN HOME

The necessity for modern, thoroughly sanitary
plumbing IN the homes of n community like Albu-
querque 10 not open to argument. The very fact that
we are seeking and securing a population OF health
seekers is enough to make imperative the most thor
ough sanitation IN our homes, both those that we own
and live in and those that we own and rent to Others.
The condition of the plumbing and bathroom equip
mcnt in many houses in Albuquerque would amaze
YOU if you knew about il. Probably no one but those
actively engaged in plumbing work know just how
bad this condition is.
This is bad not only from a health standpoint. but
from that of the rent returns. The owner of rental
property cannot hope to get as much for Il house with
lcaky plumbing and a tin bathtub, as can be asked
and will he willingly paid for u house with a modern
plumbing equipment.
Plumbers are in a position 10 know abou. the value
of good plumbing IN renting property. Hardly n day
passes but that some of the leading plumbing firms
of Albuquerque get an order from an owner of rcn.
tai property who says must have this work done
quick. Otherwise cannot rent the house.
Good plumbing IN your rental property is the hest
form of investment. Study into the causes behind
your vacant house, or your house that will not pro
ducc a good rental and you u be sure To find high up
in the list of troubles the presence of bad plumbing.

Shall We Inuite Them to
Sleep in the Park?

II Is too hate now 10 stop the healthscekrrs who are com
ing 10 Albuquerque this winter. They are coming. Their plans
are complete. We have two courses open. One is to provide
homes for. thesc people. The ether is To invite hem to sleep in
the open air. They will refuse this latter invitation.
The result will be that they will go on to Phoenix, to Den
yer and Colorado Springs to III Paso, where houses are album
dant or to Los Angeles. This city will lose in a single season
the results of years 0f advertising: and more than that, we
will receive u positive set back. Each Of these people we turn
away will write back home. The word will be that there is
no place to sleep in Albuquerque; that it is crowded to the
guard rails and no comfortable houses to be had.
DO not thinl this an exaggerated statement. II Is not. There
are practically no desirable houses vacant in Albuquerque now.
There are very few desirable furnished apartments and fur
nNhcd rooms. \ number of very desirable people have left this
city during the past three. summer months because no real
estate man in town could find IA his lists a desirable house for
them. One man who represents large investments in New Mex.
leo, and who was willing 10 pay any rent in reason, finally gave
mp IN despair and took his family 10 Denver. There are other
similar instances.
We invite the attention of property owners, aud hose able
10 finance repairs and small building operations to these facts.
II this situation is not met all proprrt, here will suffer an un.
necessary loss. The good repair, comfortable house will rent
quickly in Albuquerque AT a good return ON the investment.
II is our duty to care for the new people coming to MS and It
will be to our profit 10 do il.

WHY WOMEN WANT TO VOTE

Just as someone ;s always taking
the Joy out Of life," there is always
someone who is trying to take the
heart out OF women by asking why
they want TO vote.
When these people are men, they
say:e Women in America have
everything they want now. Why
should they voter"
when they are women. they say:
Women can get anything they want
by indirect influence. They do not
need the ballot"
Obstructionists of both sexes have
often pointed to Massachusetts,.
where women have never voted on
anything more important than school
questions. to stress their contention
that laws can be the best In the
world and yet be all made by men,
thus proving that government does
not need any assistance from the
feminine half OF the population.
IL Is Just exactly Massachusetts,
itself which has recently demon
strated that II women do not want
to vote. they ought to. And II is
more shame to them II they don't.
This year the women of Massa-
chusetts asked their alleged repre-
sentatives at Springfield to protect
them and their children by passing
laws:
| I. To limit the hours Of work
for women and children under IS
years to IS week SO that they
would have the same protection that
men In public service and on the
railroads are now given.
., To restrict the n!ght work of
women and girls In subway stations
for the safeguarding OF their health
and morals.
3. To permit the Minimum Wage
Commission to perform Its work OF
improving wage conditions for poor
ly paid girls and women.
4. To raise the age of working
children from u to 16 years. (The
government Is asking that children
be kept in school as long as possible
that they may be better prepared In
serve their country.
s. To provide education for all
children at work that they may be.
come better workers and better citi.
zens.
6. To grant aid to mothers with
dependent children under 16 years
OF age so that they may be kept In
school instead of being forced into
the mills and factories before they
have had sufficient training to make
them Of real value to their country
Z. To provide for separate ses
sion OF the Municipal court to help II
settling family difficulties so that in
nocent women and children may b'
protected from the publicity of the
public sessions.
s. To let women vote on th'
question Of granting cities and towns
license to sell intoxicating liquor.
10. The raise pay Of state hous,
scrub women to 80 cents an hour as {
means of aiding them to meet tn,
increasing cost of living. CA larg,
number of bills were enacted increas
ing the salaries of highly paid mer
officials from one to two Thousand
