LETTER OF APPRECIATION

So. San Antonio. Texas.
American Red Cross,
Audubon County Chapter
Audubon, Iowa:
Dear Friends:
| take this means of thanking you
for the Comfort Kit which | received
from you on the 18th inst. 1t surely
was a welcome present and to say
that | greatly appreciate it is putting
it mildly. Indeed it is simply great
and | owe you many thanks for the
same. Not only |, but all of the sol
der boys owe the Red Cross more
than they can ever repay and l for
one will carry sweet memories OF
the Red Cross through this life and
to the Great Beyond.
| am in the best of health at pres
ent and among fine associates. | am
very well satisfied with army life as
far as l have seen of it. We boys
at the camp here are always ready
to do our bit for the Stars and
Stripes.
We have been doing some hard
drilling. but | like it as it is fine for
the body, both physically and men,
tally. 1t teaches one to think and
act quickly and that is the essential
thing if we are to win this cause of
freedom for the U. S. A. and human
ity.
Again thanking you from the bot
tom of my heart, / am a hearty Red
Cross admirer and supporter.
Very sincerely yours

GARDENING

Now is the time to start that
garden. DO you have or know of a
vacant lot or parcel OF ground that
would raise considerable garden pro-
ducts, and that ordinarily goes to
waste? If you do, get busy at once
and see that arrangements are made
to have that ground usually growing
up in weeds or going to waste, seed
ed to some useful purpose.
Allow no space that can be read
lily be utilized for the production of
foodstuffs TO go unattended this
summer. There are many such plots
in the city of Audubon and there is
no reason why they should be allow
ed to exist. These are war times.
There has been and will be food
shortages and market stringencies.
Help yourself and your country by
cultivating the vacant plot and pro-
ducing foodstuffs. Provide for
yourself by raising vegetables. Do
not be a consumer only. Produce
some of the things you eat.

ITEMS ABOUT THE
ARMY Y. NJ. C.. A. WORK

Since the regiment Of colored SOL
diers was brought TO Camp Dodge
last fall. over 1900 of them have
been taught to write so that they
can now sign their names and iden-
tify themselves in a satisfactory
manner. says Rev Proctor, who
spent two weeks among the soldiers.
The work of instructing the colored
soldiers is part OF the educational
program carried on by the Y. M. c.
A. in every army camp. At the pres
ent time over $500 men are en-
rolled in the evening educational
classes conducted in the eight stand
ard Y. NJ. c. A. buildings at the
camp.
The most popular studies are
French for the American soldiers,
English for the foreign speaking
men that have come mainly from
Minnesota and North Dakota, also
typewriting and automobiling. Most
of the classes meet two evenings a
week. The whole educational work
is under the direction OF Prof.
Trowbridge of the State University,
who has associated with him eight
other experienced teachers who are
members of the army Y. M. c. A.
staff in the camp. For the colored
soldiers classes run five nights in
the week--in these classes reading,
writing, arithmetic and other of the
common branches are taught.
For the month of March the Y.
NJ. C. A. is putting on a series OF
historical addresses with the aid of
professors from the University of
Minnesota. Iowa State Teachers Col.
Cedar Falls, Grinnell. Iowa Univers-
ity and Ames The lecturers go from
building to building, thus giving nle
soldiers in every part of the camp
an opportunity to hear the high
class speakers who are giving their
services for the benefit Of the sol
diers. Thee lectures are a part of
nationwide program which the Y.
NJ. c. A. is putting on covering every
large cantonement and many of the
smaller army camps.
On all incoming trains bringing
soldiers to Camp Dodge on the last
call for men, Y. M. c. A. secretar-
les were along giving help to the
men in various ways. Games, read
ing matter, etc, leaflets with pop
ular songs and hymns were passed
out on every train. The hearty
singing of the men showed their APP
probation. This work on the troop
trains was made possible by the CO.
operation of all the city Y. M. G. AS
of the state. The secretaries made
talks to the men on the troop trains
giving them in advance something
of the story of the Y. M. c. A. in
the army camps. Passenger con-
ductors and officials in charge of
the trains attribute the fine conduct
and good nature of the men in a
large measure to the kindly service
OF the Y. M. c. A. secretaries.
On Sunday. March 3rd, lab relig-
ious meetings were staged at Camp
Dodge by the Y. M. c. A. II of the
services were held in the Y. NJ. C. A.
buildings and the other 126 in the
barracks occupied by the $4,000 new
soldiers that had just come to the
camp.
All this work goes far toward
making a happy and well disposed
company of men for Uncle Sans
army. What is being done at Camp
Dodge is being done at all the other
army cantonements and at the sew
enty or more smaller camps in the
country.

There has not been much comment
on the defeat of John T. Adams.
National Republican Committeeman
from this state, in his candidacy for
the National Craftsmanship, but two
very important positions in the party
leadership still remain in Iowa.
Frank Woods. congressman from the
10th District, was reelected as
Chairman of the National Congress
sional Committee and Judge Green
retains his position as member OF
the Committee on Committee, which
fixes in the House the places of Re-
publican Congressman on Commit
tees. Iowa is well looked after on
the Republican side, after all.

CITY WATER SUPPLY
IS SATISFACTORY

The regular monthly meeting Of the
water and light commission was held
last night at the city hall and the reg
ular routine business transacted. 1t
may be we'll to note in this connection,
that the new filter is giving excellent
results, and the condition Of the city
water supply is very satisfactory as is
shown by the following letter:
Louis F. Borchers, Supt.
East Grand Forks Waterworks,
East Grand Forks. MINI.
My dear Mr.. Borchers:
During the month of October, 1918,
samples Of East~Grand Forks water
were collected and examined with the
following results: october II, 1918,
bacteria in | c. c. of tap water-12.
October 20, 1918, bacteria in c. c. of
top water-2. The sample of October
20 was collected from a City Hall tap
where samples will be taken hereaft-
er. In each case the water supplied
to the citizens Of East Grand Forks
conformed to theShigh standard set by
the United States Public Health Serv-
ice.
Very truly yours,

deformity of his left arm. a disfigure-

six sons and n daughter of whom
the Crown Prince Frederick is the

and restored him to favor.
