San Antonio, Texas.
Friends:-I have enjoyed the
letters published in the Gazette,
from the young men of Kendrick
who are scattered about the world
looking for trouble. 1t is as good
as receiving letter from each one
personally, so l will put in my let
ter in return.
am out with pick and shovel
in Texas looking for the Kaiser too,
and our energies with the pick and
shovel are not all wasted, for when
the time comes we will not only be
willing but prepared to dig Will
helm a nice little grave.
have had only day and half
of drill in the three months that
I've been here. We are only re-
quired to learn a little of the close
order drills, enough to enable us to
march. am in an aero repair
squadron, which is not a fighting
outfit-they pick out the good men
for that. All we do is to help keep
them in fighting order. We are
out of luck about going across soon,
according to the latest unofficial
news, which is that we are to 60
to Indianapolis, Ind, and work in
the shops there for at least three
months before going across, and by
that time kendrick may be repre-
sented in Berlin, at least we hope
so, whether all Of us get there or
not.
This is an interesting branch of
the service to be in. There were
fortv-two aeroplanes flying in cir
Gle the other day. 1t was sight
worth seeing. would have liked
to have gotten 4 photograph of it,
but the regulations don't allow it.
Kelly Field holds the record for the
hours of flight in a day.
On account of sickness and dis
ease here the men in squadrons are
kept in camp, without they have a
very good reason for going to town,
also every man is inspected every
day by the doctor, and at that there
are 20 in the quarantine camp and
6 in the hospital with mumps or
measles.
l must close now thanking the
Kendrick Red Cross for their work.

Great London Thorouahfare.

Cheapside, the central, east-and-
west thoroughfare OF the city Of Lon
don, was originally a large open COM
mon in the course OF Waiting street,
where the marke,s and public assem-
blies We're held. Different kinds Of
ware were sold separately, and the
names were perpetuated III the streets
which were built up where the old
booths had stood. In the Middle Ages
Chepe was the great street of the re-
tail trade. 1t was built with the finest
houses in the city, and well supplied
with churches, the principal one being
st. Mary lie Bow, so called from its
great vault or bow, on the south side.
On the south side also was the stone
gallery from which royalty reviewed
the tournaments which were held here.
There were two crosses in Chepe, the
principal one erected by Edward to
mark the resting place Of his queen,
Eleanor Of CASTLE. The highway ran
through the more southern portion of
the marketplace, and became known
as Cheapside. Before the fire in 1860
II was twice as wide as the present
street, and was ined with houses five
stories high, each story projecting over
the one below, and with high gables.
Cheapside is 80 feet above tide-water.

RoIIs Were Not Like Getting Your

Under an Auto.

Speaking at a dinner, William II.
Thompson of Kansas referred, to the
beauty of patience and contributed AZ
anecdote along that line.
Some time since Smith and his wife
went out for spin in their new auto
mobile, but before they had gone many
miles something went amiss with the
machinery. Crawling beneath the
car, Smith began to twist and turn
things, and finally there came sundry
words that sounded like breaking one
Of the blue laws.
"John, joint" expostulated the good
woman In the car. "You should not use
such dreadful languagew
"Of course I shouldn't, Mrs. Smith r
irritably responded hubby. "Of course
shouldn't I suppose that if you
were down under here you would
sweetly sfngi"
"You should have more patience"
returned Mrs. Smith. "Why don't you
try to be like Job?"
''Don't quote Job, madam" shouted
the old man. "Never In all his life did
Job ever get his nose caught in cog

Even this program means self-dental
by the Allies next year. They are
making this sacrifice in the common
cause We must maintain the health
and strength Of every human being
among them or they will be unable to
put their full strength alongside our
own In the supreme effort.
At the Presidents direction, Mr.
Hoover has promised them that "in this
common cause, we eat at a common
table" upon entering these
conferences in Europe We promised
them that whatever their war-food pro-
gram called for from us we should
fulfill
At best the Allied table VIII be less
than ours, for the Allied people are
denying themselves moro in order to
transport our soldiers. To provide
ships for our army, we have not only
to build all that we can, but we must
have the help of the Allied shipping.
In order that the Allies may provide
this, they must take food ships from
the more distant markets and place
United States We can do no less than
fill the ships they send us. We must
decrease our imports of sugar, coffee
and tropical fruits.
A survey Of our ability 20 meet qul
definite promises 70 the Allies shows
that while our wheat production is bet
ter than last year, our production Of
other cereals is less. On balance, oui
resources are no greater than last year
We find, however, that we can give THU
increase Of 5.730,000 tons of food ovel
last year and still have margin ovel
the amount necessary to maintain oul
own health and strength.
