WHERE DO WE GET OFF?

Secretary of Commerce Redfield has
issued report saying that "The Far
East is rapidly coming into its own with
relation to our foreign trade" Just
what the Department of Commerce
means by Its own" is doubtful, but
the expression has little of encourage
ment for American industry in view of
the recent declaration of the Secretary
that we must be careful not to be hog
gish in going after foreign trade. Dur
ing the year 1918 we bought from the
Far East goods OF the value of $1,042,-
600, 10000, and sold to the Far East goods
OF the value OF $6O3, 900, 900, leaving the
balance against us to the amount OF
$439, 1000, 900, which the Department Of
Commerce evidently considers rightully
belongs to that section of the world.
That is 'its own"

REGISTERED CATTLE
in THIS SECTION
OF THE STATE

There will be livestock meeting in
Traverse City on April 9th at which
time there will be three men from
Lansing to help in the developing of a
movement for putting in registered
cattle into this section of the state SO
that we might become known as ship
pers of high class cattle. Livestock is
the back bone of the Northern Michi-
gan agriculture and the sooner we get
to raising registered cattle just that
much quicker will we become indepen-
dent farmers on profitable basis.
This will be an all day meeting and
in the evening the matter OF establish
ing sorting yard at Traverse City for
four counties to grade and sort the live
stock which is shipped by the associa-
tions of these counties will be taken
up. Great advantage on prices will be
the outcome of this plan, as straight
carsof cattle bring higher price on
the market than mixed cars.
All breeders should attend this
meeting.

Dear Mother and ALL
Received your letter today and cer-
tainly was glad to hear from you. You
wrote it Feb. 7th, and got it on the
25th OF Feb. haven't received any
old mail yet, that you wrote me last
summer. Hope get it because it al
ways cheers a fellow up when we hear
from home. One cannot explain how
one feels when he doesn't hear from
home. OF course he doesn't know what
the matter is and it makes him feel,
well, he don't care if he lives or dies.
We are here and it makes person feel
that he is in prison or some place worse.
| have wondered what have done to
be punished the way have been. 1t
seems like punishment and yet it is not.
And other fellows have wondered the
same thing. The thing is, why are
we being kept over here. We have
fought for our flag and our country,
and we can't see why we are being
kept over here. They give us passes
to Paris, and the Y. M. c. A. gives us
entertainments and we have movies
once in awhile, but that home longing
is still around. There is lot of boys
from Michigan in this division, and from
all over, even California. Well, will
change my subject now. That Harry
Simms that was in the clipping you
sent me, was a company runner for
Capt. Allen, he was made major on that
drive. Yes, mother, knew of him and
| was on that drive myself and made
that objective too. A fellow friend of
mine and l came very near getting ours
there. On that same objective the Ger
mans had flanks fire on us. was on
that drive for nine days.

when get home. don't like to write
things in letter. That officer, think
the one you spoke about is 1t. johnson

one that knew before came to the

see some one out of old Company E,

vision. This division is regular army
division and the way things look guess
| wont be home before next Christmas.
But | think we will be home before
then, at least hope so, don't see how
they can put drafted man in and make
him stay like a regular army man.
got my box of candy Tell Russell
to write and Rosetta also, will answer
all the letters get. It's just since
have been in Germany that have re-
ceived any letters from home. We are
bilited in the German houses here and
the boys have been treated with bowl
OF butter milk. The people have not
got food to eat here like they have in
the states. You walk into a store and
there is nothing there to buy, so there
is no use of going in.
Well, mother, guess will close for
tonight it is 7:10 p. m. There hasn't
been much snow here, about three
inches of snow, but it got awful cold.

three card monte, gold brick, green
goods, money changing and lemon
games, have given way to modern
methods, more complex and more pro-

What shall take the place of the

the Methoist Centenary that Commu-

may c~ongregate as they did in the sa-
loon but now in a decent atmosphere
that will not robe them of the'y
minds and manhood. Now is the tir|,.
for the church to provide such centcrs.
Men attracted to these centers would
be kept from the Blind Pigs" and the
beas IS would starve. The Metho list

nifty all the time, not only on Sundays.

AMERICAN ARTIFICIAL
LIMBS MADE FOR
CR|pPLESU GREECE

Athens, April Is; Correspondence
of The Associated Press.)-The Balk-
an Commission Of the American Red
Cross has brought to Athens an Amer
lean superintendent and assistants
with supplies in the rough for max
ing artificial legs. At a Greek work
shop in Athens. American workmen
are making American artificial limbs
and are i~nstructing Greek workmen in
the art.
The American workmen have taken
temporary charge of the school for
the mutilated Of the Greek army un-
til q Greek superintendent and Greek
workmen can be trained to take over
the plant. The artificial legs will be
fitted and given to Greek soldiers. It
is the intention of the Greek govern
ment to see that every soldier who
needs one is provided with an Ameri-
can artificial leg.
An artificial limb weighing onlv
four pounds are now being supplied
to hundreds of mutilated soldiers who
formerly had crude peg legs and
cumbersome twenty-pound artificial
limbs of another pattern. The Joy OF
these men at being able once more to
move around easily, is daily expressed
in the American Red Cross workshops
by dancing about on their new limbs
with expressions Of gratitude which
if it were not so pitiful, would BE-
amusing.
As a corollary part of this work
the American Red Cross also is sup.
porting a school for the reeducatior
of the mutilated. At this school tho
disabled are being taught usefu
trades of all kinds including tailor
ing, shoemaking, carpentering, meta
working, basketry, and stenograph.
and tipping. For this latter work, ,
large number Of American type
writer's with Greek characters ar,
needed.

INCIDENTS l|:l OF re-
WORK N SAL0NIlkA

Saloniki, March 20, Correspond
ence Of The Associated Press.)-Some
Of the more amusing 'human inter
est" incidents Of the activities Of the
American Red Cross nurses and field
workers during the repatriation of
Greeks 'deported into Bulgaria during
the war are related by Lieutenant A.
s. Bedell, in charge Of the American
Red Cross relief stations in Macedon-
Ia and Bulgaria.
I'VE came into Bulgaria on a Ger
man freight car" says Lieutenant
Bedell in his report. "This Red Cross
car was the first car of the first. train
that ran from Series to Salonik after
the armistice and it was with the Red
Cross from the time we entered Bull
garia until we returned to Greece.
ION the trip out of Bulgaria we had
one iron bed and two camp cots. One
Red Cross man slept on a crate of
biscuit tins, the bed being demount-
able to furnish five chairs by day.
The Red Cross man turned over fire.
quently in the night, bringing discord
from the tins but despite our protests
at his noisy mode of sleeping, he de-
clared he had a 'rattling good bed.
~"Firewood was obtainable along
the route and we were able to use
our woodstove after cutting hole in
the side of the car for the stove pipe.
Liquid food proved only difficulty.
It was impossible to boil even half an
inch Of water on the stove when the
car was in motion. We had a real
American coffee grinder. The coffee
beans were put in a clean sock and
one of the men to the tune of Yankee
Doodle would crush the beans with
a hammer.
"When chicken was wanted for din
ner one of the party would go out
with half a cup Of sugar in hand,
wander about the village until he saw
a likely chicken, which he would
thereupon seize. The native woman
who made the most outcry was pre-
sumed to be the owner and usually
was glad to accept the half cup Of
sugar in exchange. Our much mali
gned ration of bully beef proved to
be acceptable. also.
"Bartering was the order of the day
at all stations. A slice of bread would
obtain three shines, fill a large water
jar or attract a carriage of supplies.
During u last afternoon in Dede-
' Catch, on the Aegean Sea, we had the
use of a horse and wagon all after
noon, in order to return borrowed
furniture, for the payment of one tin
of. bully beef.
"The fame Of American Red Cross
relief stations spread throughout Bull
garia to such an extent that other
Red Cross workers and British and
French officers, including two French
generals, sought us out in passing to
secure a canteen Of hot tea or to re-
plenish depleted rations."
