Your Loving Son.

Dear Sister Nellie:
As I have been sitting here by the
candle light q q. nj I have been
thinking Of all my loved ones back
In "Old Beaver Co." and Wishing my
self there. From the report of yes
terday's paper I am thinking II will
not be long I'll I realize my wish
with about q dozen other boys OF
u company were made M. P.'s (mil-
itary policemcn) for this camp and
two nearby towns. At this time I am
keeping guard over three boys that
were arrested the other night. We
work ia shifts OF six hours each; this
afternoon I will be on duty in one Of
the towns. I cannot say that ] par
ticularly like the Job as I do not feel
at home with a big revolver swinging
at my side striving to correct the mis-
conduct of others when I know my
own 10 none too good.
The most fun we have is In keeping
the boys out of town during the day
that do not have passes and out Of
the restricted districts at night for
they sure will try to dodge us. es-
pecially the boys Of u company just
to torment us. Considerable drunk
ennes here.
We have not done any hospital
work yet over here. don't know Just
when VIZ will be called out.
How Is school teaching progress
ing? How many kids have you lick
ed. how many "'pets' have you, how
many problems have you been unable
to solve and how is. Well. everything
that goes with school teaching?
We buried one Of our officers. 1t,
Evans, yesterday, the first fellow we
have lost. he was sick but a couple OF
days. a fine husky young fellow he
was. too.
Week ago yesterday ten Of us boys
accompanied by two officers took
stroll through a nearby park. Sure
q beautiful place. with flower beds
play ground, beautifully kept paths
meandering through meadows ant
woods. Some wild animals are keep
there but we saw only q small deer
In the park is also an old dilapidatet
castle which we visited.
The electric lights are off and my
candle Is nearly burned out SO hat
better close before darkness prevails
Love to all. EZRA.

Is BEHIND

Oklahoma Is behind in it's sales of
War Savings Stamps. The quota for
1918 is forty-seven million dollars
but SO far less than half Of this
amount have found ready demand.
Only q short time remains for this
state to redeem itself and maintain
its reputation for having fulfilled ev-
cry obligation placed upon It by the
government. II every person who Is
able, in the state will buy q War Saw
ings Stamp between now and January
LIST It will 30 a long ways toward
helping to make up the difference be-
tween the quota and the amount sold,
The War Savings Committee urges
every person to do the utmost SO that
this state may go lover the top" Let
us get busy and help put the finish
ing touches tothe War Stamps cam

LETTERS FROM EZRA EVANS

LETTERS FROM EZRA EVANS
Oct. 10, 1918
I am off duty this morning so will
write you that you may know I am
still we'll an enjoying life with God
as a pal. We had q fine mid-week
meeting last evening. The boys are
showing better interest, more coming
out and taking part. These meetings
are such a help-makes the days seem
shorter. and the knowledge Of our
greater duties, from growing less
keen to us. The same lieutenant
that conducts the services. gives a
lecture nee q week on business prin-
cipals and methods to q class of us
that wished II. He also gives us out
side work to do and I think Il is q
profitable thing for us.
j have been receiving a good bit of
mail lately which makes me feel
like a different boy. Received letters
from Harry. from Anna and from
Fred, also from Dewey In the last few
days.
/ am wondering II they had town
cyphers" In Wales when you were
young. Here an old man goes about
town with q little drum, stops in
front of thebusiest places or where
there are several persons near by,
beats on this drum and when the peo-
pie gather around he reads to them
some special news. It may be war
news. some town order, change In
ration allowance or any news Of pub
lie interest. I like to watch him for
when he begins beating his drum peo-
pie come running from house. barns.
gardens, drop their wheel barrows,
jump from their carts, poke heads out
of windows. etc. In general It re-
minds me of "Pipe the Piper"
Several nurses arrived here . few
days ago. Some few that were al
Custer when we were there. II sure
seems glad to Q some real Ameri-
can girls again; one would not think
that there would be such great differ.
