Mr.. J. b. Legg:
Dear Friend-Received your letter

10 about the biggest treat US fellows
over here get.
am feeling fine and like this coun-
try whole lot better than l did at

1t was hard to feel at home, but after
I got In All American camp 1t was
different.
We have plenty to eat and . good
place to sleep and these are about the
main things.
was sorry to hear that you were
selling your place In town and In
tending to leave, but hope that you
are back again by the time that get

top" the other day and are still going.
Sure are moving the Germans down
and every body Is happy.
was somewhat surprised to hear
that Ray was married. He sure must
be stepping right out since he went
home from the army.
suppose everybody is busy now
putting up their hay. 1 sure would
like to be there to help as 1t would
feel kind Of natural. / am pretty
busy shooting horses right now. May
be that can get job when / get
back.
was glad to hear that Rio Blanco

because II 1t wasn't for them and the

fellows would do over here as they
keep US In tobacco and other things
which would be hard to get without
them.

1t Is a Disgrace

Under the above heading, last Mon
days Grand Junction Sentinel con-
tains the following editorial:
Absolutely discreditable to Grand
Junction audiences Is the lack of ap-
plause and enthusiasm. that marks
the greeting Of the pictures Of the
great English leaders when thrown
upon the movie screen.
We have noted this attitude of In.
difference several times, especially
since the Majestic has been showing
the omcial British war Aim once .
week. Last night there was = spien-
did and highly interesting reel show
ing King George and Queen Mary
visiting some Of the great army
camps, aviation fields and hospitals.
There were some fine views Of the
king and queen, and Of General Haig
and other British officers, and yet not
once during the entire showing of the
reel was there q single ripple of ap-
plAuse.
One would conclude that the dam
nable anti English propagandS Of the
German agents In this country, aided
by the Sim Feiners of Ireland and
their followers, is getting results.
1t is q shame and q disgrace. Every
true American should be glad to do
honor to and give applause for the
leaders of the great British nation.
The foulest lie concerning any Of
our allies that 10 told is the lie that
England hasn't done her part In the
war. The truth Is that no nation
HAS DONE QUITE so MUCH.
Statistics show that the English cas-
ualties alone In this war have totalled
almost 8, 600, 900. She has sent nearly
S,OOO,OOO men into the service, and
SIXTY per cent Of these CAME
FROM ENGLAND ALONE, not
from her colonies. One man In every
seven In the population Of England
is In the army. Englishmen have
fought on seventeen fronts during
this war.
These are just few Of the many
startling figures showing the mighty
war work England has done and is
doing that could be given.
Let Grand Junction people make it
plain that the anti English sentiment
has no foothold here. Let us delight
in greeting with applause the pictures
Of the soldiers, the rulers and the
ships Of our great and glorious ally.
England's cause is our cause and
England went to war just as unself-
ishly as the United States went to
war.
1t should be remembered that 1t
was England, of all the nations, that
first went to Belgium's aid aud went
to war with the German nation be-
cause Of the outrage Of Belgium. Fit
ting here lie the tribute Of Charlotte
Van de Water, which runs:
TO ENGLAND
You, first of nations reared startled
strength
To shield the weak from an unpity ing foe,
And Europe shuddered through her fear
rscked length
Before the white wrath of your flaming mol

Some 1918 Garden Needs.

Market gardens near large consum-
ing centers should be increased so as
to meet, as nearly as possible, the
reeds of the community, and in order
to obviate the necessity of transport
ing such products from distant points
The planting of home gardens, es-
Iecially for family needs and for pre-
serving food for future use, again
should be emphasized.
The commercial production of PEI
isbables generally should be increased
ahove normal wherever it is reason
ably clear that transportation ant
marketing facilities will be available
