LADS LEG BROKEN
WHEN HIT BY AUTO

When little Michael Parlato, aged
seven years, of 68 Clarence street, ran
from a grocery store near his home
with a package for his mother, he ran

driven by Joseph Dewhirst, of E. w.

down and his left leg fractured. Dew
hirst rushed the lad to the Emergency

ment Dewhirst sounded his horn
frantically, and at considerable risk
to himself turned his car into the

Whal About the Gross State

Wheatley, Ark, Jan, 26, 1918. Editor ARGUS:
 noticed in last weeks ARGUS your splendid article to the farm CTS of your county in regard to the building of permanent roads. have been watching the ARGUS for some weeks hoping to see something about the Monroe county part of the great Cross State Highway. 1 can't find out anything about this from any, one and Pm writing this to ask if you will not tell us the exact situation.
 We of St. Francis county, llv- ing near your little city, are get ting real anxious to know if it is fact that Brinkley has really fallen down on the Highway proposition. We have gone in- to this project with the expecta- tion and the promise that the road from Brinkley would be built and ready when we got the road built thro' St. Francis coun- ty. Our road is now being built and if you don't believe it, come and see the splendid work being done by those having the con- tract. The Cotton Plant people who began work on thier dis trict a long time after Brinkley got her district formed, have been at work several months on their road. Now will you please be kind enough to publish the real situation in regard to the Brinkley or Monroe county sec- tion of this great Cross State Highway.
 A BRINKLEY FRIEND. [NOTE:-I'm going to refer this matter to the gentlemen forming the Commission, which is composed of Elmo Clancy, Jack Doyle and R. J. Torry. I shall ask these gentlemen to make a statement along the line suggested as it will be news to all of us. < ED.

are doing their share. We are not
where there is a 'Y" now, and I tell
you we notice it a great deal. When
we were little further back we sure
appreciated it. Well, will finish this
now I had to stop for a few minutes
to go and fill up Y. NJ. c. A. mans

me kind of funny that [ was just writ

up and wanted gas and OIL We have
a filling station here for all the tour
ing cars and motorcycles in the 32d
division. We use some six hundred
gallons of gas a day, but | have to
keep the figures on it. We take the
number of the car and keep track of
the amount they get. You see that
gives a fellow all he wants to do to
handle that much day. l have it
down pretty fine now, so it makes it a
little easier for me. The man with the
"Y' Ford was travelling around to

is all they will let you buy at one

age of stuff here. If a fellow could
get all the stuff he could sell he would
be millionaire in a couple Of weeks,

any price for candy and cigarettes and
any kind Of things to eat. l will thank
you for the razor blades. That was
a very good way to send them. They

following letter from their nephew,
Private Russell McGilvra, who is
somewhere in France:
Dear Aunt and Uncle:
Will drop you line to let you know
l am well. Have been looking for a
letter from you, but have not yet re-
ceived it; but got package of home
papers today and have been rather
busy reading them. By the way the
papers state there must be a great
hurry and skurry in the states.
guess the home folks are doing their
bit, all right. / see they are drafting
a lot of boys again. Certainly they
must be getting most all of the young
men.
We had nice rain the other day.
The land needed it all right, for it
had not rained for nearly month.
The farmers are busy haying. They
cut with a scythe and rake by hand.
I don't see how they ever get done,
as they have so much to make. But
they stick to it until they are finished.
Well, I got out of the trenches all
safe. Did not mind it after | got used
to it, I was in a pretty safe place,
as there was a strong dugOut right
near by my post and | spent most OF
MY time in there when not on duty.
I have got cleaned up, ready to go
again. I would just as soon be up
there as back of the lines. shall go
again in a few days. News is rather
scarce, so will close for this time.
Hoping to hear from you soon, | re-
main the same. Your nephew.

Miss Alma Riggert of Chicago, who,
with her parents and brother, is visit
ing relatives in Reedsburg and Bara-
boo, has received the following letter
from her cousin, Herbert Stecken-
bauer, of this city:
Somewhere in France.
June 2, 1918.
Dear Cousin:
Received your letter and l assure
you | was very glad to get it. l am
feeling fine and we are having some
very fine weather just now. 1t sure
is time for it, because it rained most
every day since we landed until about
a week or so ago.
Tell Henry* I hope he will never
have any trouble like we had on the
Tuscania. The land is sure the best
place to fight on for me. Tell him
that he never will know what war is
if he doesn't get over before long, be-
cause l don't hear very much about
what our navy is doing.
Please send me a picture of your
self and also keep on writing, because
it makes one feel good to get letter
when he is so far from home. Hope
the day will soon come when we will
all be together again.
They have brought down three Ger
man planes right near me here. A
German plane just went over us, but
believe me they are sure making it
pretty warm for him right now. The
shells are bursting all around him,
and he might get back and he might
not With love to all.
Corp. Herbert E. Steckenbauer.
*The young man referred to above
is a brother of Miss Riggert and has
been at the Great Lakes Naval Train
ing station for the past year.

Letters Much Appreciated in
France

The following is taken from a letter
to James Madden from James O'Neill
in France:
It makes a fellow feel fine to know
his friends remember him. You would
not know how good it feels to get let
ters, and fellow feels for those who
don't get many. They are the best
things we get For example, if we
all get shore leave, as we call passes
to leave camp, and just then the dis
patch rider comes in with the mail,
very few would go ashore that night.
We ought to appreciate letters, and
do. Understand Ed Coughlin is in
line for commission. He will prob
ably get it. Fine fellow, Ed is.
You are right after the liberty
bonds Everybody is doing pretty
we'll, in fact. That is as good way to
help win as to be here. l tell you
the states have done great things in a
year We are great people compared
to what you see here-old slow meth
DDS of doing everything. Can you
imagine five horses strung out tan
dem on one plow? A place here with
100 acres of tillable land takes about
20 horses and II men. Raise good
crops though of small grain, hay, al
falfa, sugar beets, etc. Nights are too
cold for corn. Oh, yes, forgot the
grapes. There are lots of Grapes.
France is noted for champagne and
horses. This is the original home Of
the Percheron.
