LOR|NG BRACKEN
WRITES FROM
lover There"

st. Maixent, France, Aug. 26. 1918.
Dearest Folks: Haven't written or
heard from any of you in some time,
but it is mainly, due to the fact that
I have been on the go for the past
few weeks.
After leaving Montrose, Scotland,
we spent little over week in Eng
land (Winchester), from there we
went to our sailing port for France.
We landed in France something over
week ago. Can't express myself on
how I like France yet, for haven't
seen enough to say. You should see
me trying to talk to some of these
Frenchmen. I remind myself of
Jew, for sure in my case If 1t was not
for my hands I couldn't get by at
all. We are in a wonderful old place
now. Our barracks happen to be an
old, old monastery, which was an old
building. when Napoleon used II.
There is a room here that he used to
live in many years ago. There is
quite bit of history and romance
connected with the old building and
ii doesn't deceive its looks. It is
wonderful piece of architecture; wish
Miss May, especially, could see it, for
l know how she would enjoy its age
and beauty.
In writing me, do not mention the
names on the envelope that l have
mentioned in my letter, for, by the
time you receive this l will have
changed my address again. Simply
use the following for an address:
13Sth Aero Squadron, American
Elk. Forces, France.
Say, but we had a royal send-off
from Montrose, Scotland, by the
whole town. I've never seen a bunch
get better treatment than did our
bunch while there. AS for leaving /,
friends, rather hated to pull out but
for getting on this side | was highly
pleased.
1t takes some work and time to
equip squadron for real duty and
believe me we have had our hands
full ever since our arrival in France
1t has been good to get to work again
though and and l really enjoyed the
rush. Things have rather quieted
down for while, but couldn't say as
to how long they will stay that way,
We don't know how long we shall be
here, but not long, I guess.
Must cut this out and go to "chow."
We are having some good eats at this
station. Seems that the nearer tn.
front the better the rations that be,
ing the case, put me in the front line
trenches.
I suppose by the time this reaches
you, Erma will be back home. Much
love to all Of you. Don't forget to
send me some Of the snaps of Kath-
rine II they are good. I had some
pictures taken the day I left Mon
trose, and all of them are to be sent
to sister. I have asked her to send
one Of them to you folks. I couldn't
say what they will look like for
left town a couple Of hours after sit
ting.
Write whenever you have the time.
Don't worry about me II you don't
hear as often as you think I should
write for there are times when
can't spare the time. I am still In
the supply department.
Feeling fine and getting good eats.
More love.

CONSUMPTION OF FARMS NEXT.

Saturdays press dispatches told of
complaint being made in congress
before a senate committee, bv man
from Oklahoma who said that wheat
had been fixed at so low price that
Oklahoma farmers were feeding it to
hogs in preference to corn. He was
pleading for So wheat instead of
dominant crop in Oklahoma may
have colored his story as to its use
in feeding hogs.
However, in the same column of
the same newspaper appeared a DIS
patch from Rome which contained q
prophecy of the ultimate solution of
the problem of which the Oklahoma
man complained. The Italian parli-
ament had enacted law comforting
upon the minister of agriculture
power to control everything grown,
to organize labor for farming. to de-
termine what should be sown and to
direct the cultivation of the land.
And why not?
We have approved the CONSUMPTION
of the sons from our homes. At the
command of their government their
parents have given them up for the
war; We have applauded the con-
scription of incomes until we have
taken over half of all very rich
man can make. We have conscripted
the railroads and the ships OF the
country because, they were needed In
the war. 1t is but an easy step and
logical one to conscript from the
farm what we need in this war.
1t would be no more drastic to tell
farmer how much Of his land must
be sown to wheat and how many
sows should be bred for increased
production of pork than to command
nation not to burn coal on a Mon
day or to eat meat on a Tuesday.
The time has arrived for our govern
ment to take what it needs to win
this war. 1t it needs mechanics to
build ships it should call for volun-
teers and then take the rest 1t it
needs wheat and pork it should as
sign a fair allotment to each state
and command the states to appor-
ton their quotas among their farms.
If it needs agricultural labor for its
farms it should call for volunteers
and take the rest.
All these things involve .respon-
little but sacrifice and loss. Prices
and guaranteed but nothing can be
done now that can be more-drastic
or more revolutionary than what has
should be the winning Of the war.
If we lose that we lose all we have.
Until it is won the government
should take by law everything that
it needs by which to win. Then we
will go back to our private business
again and the devil can then take
the hind-mOst but not while we are
at war .-Marshalltown Times-ReDub-
