seemed like home and | am telling the
world that part of my address will al
ways be u. S. A.-Paris for Parisians
France for Frenchmen but Americs
Tor Americans. Whenever saw a
big Camel Back engine coming down
the track with U. S. A. on the side
it made me feel proud. They sure
look like monsters of strength along
side the French locomotives In fact
the American railway systems which
have been put in over here within the
last eight months are being studied in
detail by the French engineers. These
French have been too self-content and
maybe some day they will wake up to
the fact that there is a real country
across the Atlantic. For SO many
years the American have been travel
ing thousands of miles to see Paris
and France merely because of its his
torie and artistic beauty that the
French have become to believe that
they have the only country in the
world that is worth while.
Well, mother, I could ramble on for
hours this way but don't ',ppose you
folks are interested il oF e things.

Our soldier boys from across the

that they are unable to all return al

From Doughboy over There.

Do you recall those happy days
We sat before the log fires blaze,
Within our little parlor snug,
With Shep asleep upon the rug,
And heard the clock tick on TIE
shelf
Except when Shep would scratch
himself?
And there were times with sudden
rip,
He'd bite himself upon the nip,
Then turn his head in manner queer
To scratch himself behind the ear;
Then, like the whirling of a gale,
Get up and madly chase his tail.
Well, dad, l do not want to brag,
But since in France I've served
the flag,
ri say, in running down a flea,
Shep never had thing on me.
In fact I think I've learned to do
Some twists our dog never knew.
We used to scold and put him cut,
We would not let him stay about
When he began to thump the floor;
But, oh, when I get home once more
III let Shep scratch the evening thru
Because, you see, I've had 'em too.

4 Mr.. Del Christian and Brothers.
Payette, Idaho.
Dear friends:
| have your welcome letter Ex
pressing your sympathy to us il the
death d uor beloved son Orlo.
| Sorrow in spirit as we are over the
loss of one so dear to us. We are
looking forward to the time when we
are in hopes that that the intervening
Of years will ameliorate our grief
that We can begin to feel that his
life was given Tor a cause so beni-
ficent to mankind, that of making
this beloved country of ours a better
pplace to live in. And that such is
the price that We pay for our homes
our county and liberty.
Orlo was particularly close to us as
he was SO unassnuming, willing all
ways to toll on without mumur and
always resented anything We wanted
to do for him.
When he came home last spring
presumably ON a visit to US it soon
developed that he had resigned his
position in the Payette mill for the
purpose of enlisting. | said to him
that his health not being good, II
feared that he would not be equal to-
the emergency. His reply was, that
his two brothers, Earl and Rex was
both married he was single and he
Ten that it was his duty to go and
serve his country. MY COUNTRY
CALLS, and l must go
The sacrifice has been made, his
STAR has tnurned to Gold" he has
made the supreme sacrifice. His body
now lies in the cold cold ground of
Southern France.
Give my regards to all the boys In
the Mill and our friends in Payette.
am yours sincerely
