is as smooth as any paved street in Marianna. We made the 5S0 mile drive without a speck of mud getting on our cars. So you can imagine what kind of roads they have in the north and east.
 We passed through some of the prettiest country l ever saw blg, fine, well kept farms, all wheat, oats and hay. We would drive for miles and miles just like in a town, fine farm houses so close together with street cars or interurban lines pass ing right at their door. There IS not as many little towns her as at home, but when you do find a town it is a big one. Don't think we passed through more than three towns smaller than Marianna. This is because the big towns are connect ed by car line.
 The most enjoyable of all was in crossing the Alleghaney and Blue Ridge mountains. These were my first real mountains to see and they don't look anything like Crowley's Ridge. Some of the road went near ly straight up and again nearly straight down At two or three pla' ces we got so high that some of the boys noses bled. My ears stop ped up little but that's about the only way it affected me.
 We had pretty bad luck with the cars in the mountains. Tore up three of the small Dodge trucks and one big seven passenger Cadillas touring car. One like M. H. Ford has. One boy was hurt in the big car wreck and we had to leave him at hos pital somewhere in Pennsylvania
 We passed through parts of four states on our trip-Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Maryland Ohio l think is the best state we have been in, although the people all along can't do enough for us when we stop. They seem to enjoy listening to us southerners talk more than any, thing, and anything we want Is ours.
 Baltimore is the cleanest town we have been in. The women get out on the streets on their knees and scrub. Pittsburg is a big place but is so dirty, on account of so much soal smoke.
 We got in here yesterday p. m, and will go back to Detroit Monday night foI another bunch of trucks. Your letter was sent from Detroit here. Address all my mail there and I will get it o. K. I don't have time to write letter very often but will drop a card often to let you know where am. Don't worry about me. I know l am up where they are doing big things, but be- lieve I am equal to the occasion, and the trip has sure been worth lot to me.

Mrs. Elder is such a capable woman. such sweet disposition, 1t seems wherever she takes hold 1t always means success.

The Red Cross at the Troop Train
 Dear friends, just how much is the Red Cross Canteen Service worth? This is the question that is agitating our Red Cross organization more or less. The Canteen Service meets troop trains, gives the soldiers greeting, a warm hand shake and a smile, a flower as a guarantee of good faith, light luncheon, which costs perhaps five or ten cents. As our own dear boys are leaving home and are on their way to join the thousands who are offering up their lives in order that liberty may not perish from the earth, we go with them to the train, resolved to make their going as happy and comfortable as we possibly can. and to bid them good bye with a hand shake and God bless you, boys, which they will remember in the gray dawns. How much is all this worth?. To hear the soldier talk about 1t, the service can hardly be measured. It is in many instances the last home greet ! ing and the final farewell before the transport, the convoy and the trench es. It is merely human nature If in the soldiers memory the cordial, sympathetic greeting, from women. representing what home sacrifices, mother, sister, love and understand ing, endures and remains cherish
 
 How does this work of the Red Cross compare in value with provid- ing the necessaries of clothing and medical supplies? It lifts them up, warns their hearts and raises their spirits. because near the last moment it gives them glimpse of what is nearest and dearest among those possessions and ideals for which they are going forth to offer their lives
 There is no discount on this work. In a physical sense 1t is not neces- sary, because the boys would go through without it. They may not need the ice cold drinks or the to- bacco, the hot coffee and the sand wiches, which are inseparably con- nected with women's service for men. to keep hunger from gnawing. but that is not the point. They need the whole program A ministry of the highest spiritual value, and as long as Lee County Chapter exists, and our boys are coming and going. they will continue to get 1t up to the full standard.
 What sacrifices have we of Mari anna and Lee county made? We haven't suffered for anything. Buy ing war savings stamps and liberty bonds is not sacrifice. That is an investment. giving a few dollars now and then Sewing an hour or so once in while is not sacrifice. There has been no sacrifice made. except those made by the mothers, fathers and wives. as they clasped their loved ones to their hearts. and bid them farewell, and sent them away to offer up their lives to make victory secure. and America a safe place to live in. It is they who have made the sacrifice.
