FROM
RANCE

Our Rudolph correspondent sends US
a letter written from Somewhere in
France by a former school teacher in
that town by the name of Frank Chill
rud. We reproduce part of the letter
as follows:
The people of this village, as
would be expected of a country at war
for four years, are old men, women
and children, and soldiers-a few
French but more Americans. They
appear to be in good spirits although
the war has exacted a heavy toll and
must certainly have affected each and
everyone of them to a great extent.
One old fellow, who they say is the
Mayor Of the place, has some announce
ments to make every now and then,
and to get the peoples attention he
beats drum and unburdens himself,
and he sure has no impeachment in his
speech. He rattles things off in great
shape and then goes to some other
part of the village to repeat the per-
Torrance until he has given what he
considers due notice to all concerned.
We have great time here trying to
make the people understand what we
try to say and they have the same
trouble when they want to talk to US.
We have French books and fine
words and phrases that convey what
we wish to say, but when we receive
an answer we are in trouble. Conse-
| quently, we don't talk much French
| having given it up as a bad job. The
people of this village seem to be will
| ing to talk to us and we sure would
like to talk to them, but we can't talk
it. There are two or three of the
company who are more fortunate.
AS far as machinery and modern
inventions are concerned, this country
cannot compare with our own. Their
wagons are two wheeled affairs the
body of the wagon being balanced on
the shaft connecting the wheels. One
horse usually is attached to this con-
veyance, but if more horses are used
they are strung out in front of each
other, instead of side by side as we
are used to seeing them I have seen
them thresh by hand and by horse
power. Many of them cut their grail
;nthe old fashioned manner. Don't be-
lieve there is an automobile in this
village No electric lights and no tele-
phone. Wooden shoes are worn to a
large extent. So you see there is
1uite a difference between this village
md our American village But in
spite of this difference | believe | like
this place better than any | have
struck since May /. This village con-
tains two things which are very inter
esting-a church and a cemetery.
The church is said to be 200 years old,
built when America was a wilderness
of Indians except for a strip along
the eastern coast < *"

SCHOOL BOARD
MEETING

At the last School Board meeting
which convened Monday night Rev. c.
A. Meilicke rendered his resignation
His reason for so doing was the fact
that he had so many other things to
look after that he could not do his
official duty justice The usual num-
Der OF bills were allowed and the gen.
eral business of the Board transacted.
Supt. Doudna made a report to the
Board explaining matters in detail
that he felt was necessary for the
Board to know and understand There
IS shortage of men teachers which
they have been unable to fill, up to
the present time. Their work has
been distributed in such a way that
everything is being well cared for.
The city Supt.'s office is being rear
ranged and organized for the convent
ence and efficiency of the new super
lntendent. The manual training de-
partment is being reorganized and per
feeted so that excellent work can be
accomplished. Thus far all depart
ments Of the public school system of
the city are in excellent working order
ana getting down to business.

The shining sword Of knighthood-

United States Marines Have supersti-

in Ii.

Port Royal, s. C.-Instead Of "toss-
Ing their hats In the ring" the q. s.
marines cow toss 'em In the water.
Tossing their hats In the ocean for
luck was adopted as one Of the marine
customs when gust Of wind snatched
the chapeau Of recruit while be was
crossing the bay off Paris Island, S.
O., the marines training camp. The
lid sailed gracefully out into space
and was soon bobbing merrily on the
dancing waves.
Taking the accident as a cue "just
for luck" the remainder Of the re-
cruits Immediately sailed their hats
out into the deep, and the bay was
soon dotted with hundreds OF straw
hats.
The boys passed the word" and
now no recruit can expect to have
good luck unless he has cast his hat
upon the receding tide.
