From Harold Clark.
A Bord de "Rochambeau,"
Ie March 4, 1913.

Dear Mother and Father:-There is
no telling.how much of my last letter
you will receive as some Of the infor-
nation may not be approved Of by
the Censor" so I will make another
attempt.
Biscay, and II all goes well, we shall
be at Bordeaux tomorrow noon. In
order to get to Bordeaux we have to
sail up the La Geionde river, and that
takes about seven hours. OF course
we have to figure on the tide also, but
still every one Is Of the opinion that
we shall land tomorrow noon. To
tell the truth, I have had just about
enough Of the ocean and am ready to
land any minute. We have had abso-
lutely wonderful weather and the sea
has been as calm as a lake. I have
certainly enjoyed myself on the trip
and have had lots Of fun, and in fact,
I guess all have. The nearest thing
SO far, that resembled a submarine
was a whale that we saw Saturday.
They are keeping tho strictest watch
on board. Four sailors are always
standing by each gun and there is a
watch In each of the crows nests.
Ever since we left New York. the por-
ters, or rather stewards, come around
about $3.50 p. m. and close all the port
holes
When you go out on deck at night,
everything Is as black as coal unless
the moon is up, and we have had four
beautiful moonlight nights.
Saturday night we had quite an
entertainment given for the benefit
of some institution (for childrer) In
France and they made about $500.
Small boxes Of candy were selling for
SO cents and in general everything
a 40 Off n
value.
Don't mind the paragraphing In
this letter, as this is the last piece of
paper that I can get.
Love to all,
HAROLD.

Typhoid Prevention

1t is a well known fact, shown
each year in the health reports
from all the Southern states, that
mortality rates for typhoid fever
are higher during the summer
months.
"A report from Alabama states
that the average death rate from
typhoid fever in June, July,
August and September is three
times that of the other months of
the year, and that there were nine
hundred deaths from typhoid fe-
yer during the year 1917. Of
these, five hundred and thirty
eight occurred in the months
named above. The average was
one hundred and thirty-fve per
month. The average for the 9TH
er eight months was forty-fve per
month. The months of June, Ju-
iy, August and September are
known as fly months in Alabama.
In Florida, we have a longer

father agreed to number their let

boy, No. l, 2, ETC., the boy doing
likewise. They have done this
Systematically, and the result has
been that each one knows how
many letters the other has writ
ten, whether they have all been
received or not. In fact, Mr.. Alex
ander has received No. IA, but
Nos. II and 13 have never arrived.
He, therefore, believes that the

him went down on one of the re-

Some of the Bits Your Liberty
Bond Will Do

If you buy a 800 bond Of the
Fourth Liberty Loan, you are
lending the United States govern
ment enough money to feed sol
dier in France a little more than
seven months. Or you have fur
nished enough money to give him
a complete outfit of winter and
summer clothing, including shoes
and stockings, and slicker and
overcoat and blankets, with e.
nough left over to arm him with
a good revolver. You have done
that much to beat back the Hun.
1t takes $35 more to arm him
with rifle with a bayonet on it,
and if you buy a second 800 bond
you furnish him this rifle and
1000 cartridges for it; and there
will still be enough of your money
left to purchase a good-sized bomb
to throw in dugout, or demolish
a machine gun together with the
Huns operating it.

summer season than in Alabama.
hence more fly months. During
the year 1917, Florida had two
hundred and ten deaths from ty-
phoid fever. In the six months.
May, June, July, August, Septem-
Der and October, there were one
hundred and thirty-nine deaths,
making an average Of twenty
three per summer month, and DUR
ing the other six months the aver
age was thirteen per month. Thus
it is shown that during the fly
months typhoid fever is nearly
double in Florida what it is in the
cool or non-fy months.
There are many ways to show
that flies carry the germs of ty-
phoid fever, and the State Board
of Health wishes to emphasize to
the people the Importance of
screening against flies and pre-
venting their breeding places. The
State Board Of Health has been
advocating for the last twelve
months the different ways of com
batting typhoid fever, namely the
protection against flies, the pre-
vention of soil pollution, and the
incubation with the Typho-Bac-
term. To do this properly and
successfully, the State Board Of
Health must have the co-opera-
ton of the people. There is no
doubt, if these measures are car
ried out as they should be, that
the death rate from typhoid fever
will be greatly lowered. The plea
of economy alone, to say nothing
of the patriotic duties of the peo-
pie towards eliminating dangers
to health, should be sufficient to-
arouse the interest of ALL
STATE BOARD OF HEALTH.

knows the boy thought of him and
wrote the letters. Some of Mr..
Alexander's communications have
failed to reach the boy for one
cause or another.
What a splendid ideal Others
who have relatives or friends dear
to them overseas. might adopt the
numbering system to advantage.

ten that her prediction that the war will be over by February 21, 1881, must be taken seriously"
 Others, who speak with more or less authority, have ended the war variously on July 4, 1923, Thanks giving Day, 1918; Easter Sunday, 1946, and March 2, 1851.
 If every person takes his choice of these predictions and sticks to 1t, there is no reason why everybody should not be satisfied.
 One of the predictions which is at tracting considerable attention on account of it's apparent plausibility was made recently by an eminent Dutch diplomat who stated in an interview that: "The war will end when the peace protocol is signed"
 Those who desire that it shall end sooner will doubtless be disap- pointed.

OPEN 2 VOTING PLACES
 TO ELECT lEvEE DIRECTORS

The official call for an election to be held in the townships in Lee county within the St. Francis Levee District, on the second Tuesday in June. for the purpose of electing three members of the board of di- rectors, states an. election will be held in each of the townships. Since the publication of the call land own CTS have conferred with the members of the board of election commission CTS and have urged that the polls be opened at only two places, be- cause of the heavy expense incl dent to holding the election and be- cause there is very little interest in the election. and consequently the vote will be exceedingly light. The election commissioners have agreed to the suggestion that the polls be opened in Marianna for the conven- fence of the land owners residing in the hill section and at Brickeys for the convenience of those residing in the bottoms. All land owners who are interested in the election are requested to make note of the fact that the polls will be opened at only these two places.

Candidate for Railroad Commis- sioner.
 Solicits the vote of the people on his record and qualifications to fill the office.
 He has been honored by the peo- pie of his home county, serving them as both Circuit and County Clerk.
 He has served as Railroad Agent and Cashier for twelve years, giving him practical knowledge of railroad work and it's needs.
 My opponent, Mir. T. E. Woods, who is my neighbor and nice man has been honored with the office for two terms and now asks for a third term. Is it not just that he should be satisfied with two terms, and give somebody else a chance? He has done nothing as the records show to merit third term.
 He undertakes to tell you that on account of war conditions there should be no change in the office of Railroad Commissioner.
 The office of Railroad Commission CT would no more effect the country than CndIlSc III tlC VlliSC VI "o'o.S~ of the Peace. He is making this plea in order to make an excuse for ask ing for a third term, and is trying to put this kind of hobby over the peo- ple. q have no serious objection to a third term provided man does something to merit it.)
 If I am elected and at the end of two years I can't accomplish more for the state than has been done in the past, I will recommend to the Legislature the abolishment of the Arkansas Railroad Commission. It whould be cheaper for the state to build these little depots than to pay the expense of the Commission.
