Up to the Women of Havs

The regulations of the postoffice de-
partment require that at least 70 per
cent. of the residences on the route
of the letter carriers have the street
numbers plainly visible from the
street and also that a receptical for
mail be placed on the door casing be-
fore free delivery can be established.
The plan Of the city Office, and
which has been approved by the post
office department, IS to have two de-
iveries each day, one in the forenoon
and one IL the afternoon to both
the residence and business districts,
and will require the services Of two
carriers
There viii be sixteen street boxes
for mailing letters so placed that the
fartherest viii be but two blocks from
YOUR door. The outgoing mail placed
IN these boxes viii be collected twice
daily.
The mail box on the house is re-
quired so that the carrier viii not be
compelled to wait for you to come to
the door to get the mail. The cost of
these boxes Is but twenty-five cents
which with the cost OF the street num-
bers Is all the expense you viii be re-
quired to defray as all the other ex-
pense is paid by the department
The city Office with the co-opera-
ton Of the Chamber of Comerce is
endeavoring to get this service es-
tablsihed by the first of September
and their success IN this undertaking
depends on the promptness with
which the street numbers and boxes
are placed on the houses. These are
on sale at a number of the stores and
the women of the city are requested
and urgd to see that they are imme-
diately placed and this great eonven-
ience to the business man and house
holder established. It depends en-
tirely on US how soon we get the ser
vice. Let's show them what we can do.
Telephone 271 viii be glad to answer
any question concerning this matter
that they can.

Ny Dear. Mrs Philip:
Received your most welcome and
encouraging letter two days ago, but
haven't had any time until now, but
Pm here at last.
It certainly is wonderful how the
people are backing up the boys In the
service and yet we all feel that they
viii have to do more as time passes
I haven't heard from any Of the
lads Of our bunch but Hicks. have
tried to transfer twice into outgoing
regiments but Is unusually hard to
get away from this post Tis the most
important post near Frisco, and
those who are stationed here are
here for quite a while unless order
come in for replacements. But Pm
expecting a move any day now as the
boys are being taken away very fast
Forty leave for a certain camp in
Virginia Ny name was on the list at
first but was taken off at the last mo-
ment- I went to the company com
mander about it and he said there
was a greater opportunity awaiting
me here and so II goes But 1 guess
there will be plenty of time for me to
go across yet Anyway III never be
satisfied until I get into France that
1 may help make the Kaiser pay.
California certainly is doing her bit
to help good old Uncle Sam, ard so
is Kansas you bet
New buildings are being construct
ed fast for new men here. One is
fine Y NJ. G. A
Yes, there are quite few of the
Hays lads IN the trenches now We
can look for the worst. This is what
makes it all the harder for US lads to
STAY at home Maybe we viii get in
to France just IN time to walk into
Berlin.
Oh yes, we were given a fine musi-
cal entertainment last eve by Captain
Brawley, q fine fellow. These officers
are nearly all from West Point and
they seem to get greater efficiency out
of their men, for they treat US all
like brothers Fine spirit and deter
mination prevails among the men and
we are going to win, for right is the
victor IN the end.
Will close now as there isn't any
news which is new and it is school
time. Wishing you much luck and
happiness, / remain
Your friend always,

tions were in evidence, the larger
ones forming a curtain above the pull
pit. At the cfose of his address Dr..

flags representing countries not
friends to the allies said "Old Glory.

shall never be taken from the Eur
Opean continent until these countries,
represented by these flags are willing
to accept the spirit of democracy as
their guide in all of their dealings

gave US thousands of men in our own
day cf struggle Today we send you
millions. You gave US thousands of
