OUR BOYS AT
PURDUE UNIVERSITY
By Strange Coincidence Bert Swan.
son Gets Into Training with
Willmar Boys.


A letter to the editor from Bert
Swanson at West Lafayette, Indiana
dated July 7. 1918, gives the following
information: l was sent to Purdue
University, Lafayette, Ind, where
there were five hundred auto mechan.
les. Two hundred fifty men from Indi.
ana came in the 2Sth of June for the
some purpose, but they were divided
into four classes, so we have Radio
school, Auto school, concrete and Tele-
phone school.
The five Willmar boys, who were
shipped to Valparaiso, Ind, came to
this place just week before did, and
it was marvellous coincidence that
we should happen to meet; they were
boys that were we'll known to me and
therefore it made me so happy to
meet them and be with them.
Mr. Youngquist, my former history
teacher, is in my company and our
hunks are only six feet apart. He and
| are both studying radio. Otto Tai
| lakson and Robert Johnson are in the
Concrete Work; William Johnson and
| Arthur Holm are in the Auto Mechan-
les. The work is very interesting; we
have to cover lot ground in the short
space of two months, consequently
we work fast and spend long hours
at it. Besides being mechanic, we
must also learn to be soldier, so the
days work is crowded with a varied
program.
We have a "Y" here and they are
doing all in their power for the boys
In our spare time, we make the "Y'
building our headquarters. To be sure
the man who supports the Y. M. c. A
is supporting the boys: Our "Y" sec
rotary preached to $50 men this morn
ing and the boys listened eagerly, as
they seemed to be hungry for the wort
of God. Mr.. Youngquist and sans
a duet at services and they immediate
" wanted Mr.. Youngquist to organ
ize choir.
Last night we were playing ant
singing gospel songs at the "Y" build
ing and soon a large group gathered
around and sang with us. We cOnt1n
ued for over an hour, the crowd con
tinued to grow. It goes to prove tina
the boys hunger for this kind of music
The University Campus is grea
place. The boys are allowed on tn
campus and during these hot days
they make good use Of the shady tree
when they have the opportunity.
We will be glad to hear from VIII
mar friends. A soldiers delight /

With greetings from us all, l am,
Yours respectfully,

Was Not Mentioned
Youthful French Orator Seemed to Think Lafayette Was
Really the Father Of This Country. >.
By DIR. ESTHER LOVEJOY. .

What is the attitude of the French
French are very polite people, and,
no matter what their Utmost thoughts
may be, they are not likely to express
an opinion to an American other than
complimentary. But the children of
all the world are guileless. They can
be depended upon to express in public
the private opinions of their parents.
The children of France are crazy about
Americans in uniform, so we guess
what their parents feel for u.s.
On one occasion l was passing pub
lie school with another Red Cross wo-
man physician in uniform and a
French visiting nurse. The school had
just been dismissed, and a group of
young boys came trooping out. In
stantly we were surrounded, and after
seconds parley young MTabeau Of
about twelve years, the spokesman of
the group, stepped forward, bowed
formally and delivered an address on
Lafayette and America, which was
punctuated by the applause of his ad-
miring cOmpatriOts. The American
Eaglet could not possibly have scream
ed louder in; the United States on the
Fourth of July than it did on that back
street of munition town in France.
Washington Not Mentioned.
There: seems to be some difference
of opinion on the relative Importance
of certain historic characters connect
ed with the American Revolution.
