Sundays SIeet and Today's
Snow Threatens To Do
Damage

st. Paul, February 3.-Sunday's
sleet ard ice storm, which continued
today threatens the root crops of Min
nesota seriously, according to the
statement of ID. w. Thatcher of the
state agricultural college today. Unless
the ice is broken up within few days
Thatcher states that the alfalfa winter
wheat and clover crops will be
seriously menaced. He stated that the
danger to fruit trees was not serious,
save in some localities where the
buds had swelled to unusual size.
If the ice continues to remain on
the trees and grows heavier with
snow it is very probable that many
trees will suffer serious damage from
limbs breaking off. The danger to
the root crops is not from freezing but
from the fact that covering of ice
keeps the air from reaching the plants
and they smother.

This Work Is Being Done BY
Parties Living On Madison
Lake Road

The Standard Oil company yester-
day afternoon donated the use of its
truck for good roads work and with a
driver, accompanied by Otto Lamm,
member of the good roads committee
of the Commercial club went out over
the Madison Lake road. At George
W. Allyn's store in Madison Lake vii
lage they hitched to one of Mr.. Allyn's
heavy steel drags, and started back
toward Mankato, dragging, the road
as they came. The ropes, being old,
broke frequently, which delayed the
work of dragging, and they were
obliged to leave the drag this side of
the school house, and arrived home
about supper time. They found that
other parties were dragging part of
the road and were doing the work so
well that it will not need attention for
some time.
The Cedar Rapids Oil company
donated the use of one of its trucks
and driver, which was accompanied
by George Atchison, member of the
good roads committee of the Com
mercial club. They drove to the other
side of the LIE Sueur river and hitched
onto one of the county's heavy steel
drags. Then they dragged the road
the entire distance to Highland park.
The road was well dragged and will
not need any more dragging for the
present.
Reports coming in from other roads
show that on number of them work
is being done and they are showing
the good results. The clear weather
of the past few days has resulted in
drying the roads and making the work
easier.

81. Peter Newspaper Man Back
In BaiIiwick After His
War Service

Major o. J. Duane arrived home
Tuesday morning, and although he
was expected some time this week,
his appearance on that particular
morning was in the nature of a suT-
prise to his family and friends, as no
advance message announced his dis
charge from the service. Major Duane
arrived in New York January IL, in
charge of an Anti Aircraft battalion
of 164S officers and men, says The
st. Peter Herald. The command
spent five days in New York, and
on the 18th 107 men and two officers
were sent to Camp Upton to be
mustered out and Major Duane in
came on to Camp Dodge, where the
command was mustered out on the
25th and the major on the 9th. At
ter his discharge Major Duane lost
no time in getting back to the old
town, as lie arrived here the next
morning. He appears to be in the
best of health and spirits and de-
clares that he is delighted to get
back home although he would not
for any thing forego the experiences
he has had in the service.
While disinclined to talk of him.
self or just what took place at the
front those last days of the war,
Major Duane is unreserved in praise
of his men. "They were splendid
soldiers" he said 81 was exceedingly
fortunate in getting fine bunch of
Minnesota fellows in my battalion.
They were good soldiers ard now
that they have been mustered out of
the service ! know they will make
good citizens"
Next to his pride in the splendid
soldierly qualities of his men, he
takes the greatest satisfaction in the
excellent physical condition of his
command. Throughout the six months
they were in the service the general
health of the men was very good,
and all are now returning to civil life
in perfect health.

LETTERS FROM BOYS
IN THE ARMY CAMPS

= The following letter was written
by Mechanic Elmer J.. Borneke:
Bordeaux, France. December 26,
1918. Dear Bruder Clarence: Well
this is the day after Christmas and
really intended to write yesterday
but didn't get around to it as / am
getting so lazy that | don't even feel
like writing any more, and further
more don't get any so should worry
about writing.
Am not worrying any about the
mail as am fine and dandy and con :
slider that everything else is, so it's
all right with me if it is with you
folks back in the u. S. A. Sees du?
But did get your letter that you wrote
the eleventh of November and was
the oEly mail got for two months
now. Well, / will tell you how l cele-
brated Christmas here in France. To
start in, was down town in the af-
ternoon and evening of the twenty
fourth and stayed in bed Christmas
morning until after nine and got up
and ate about ten and then got big
Christmas dinner about 1880 which
consider a pretty good dinner in
Guiding apples, oranges, nuts and
candy. Ate SO much that ] couldn't
hardly wiggle and besides got box
of Christmas candy and another box
with some cigarettes, two bars of
chocolates, some gum and can of
smoking tobacco. After dinner went
to town again and returned about
$3.50 in the evening as this is as late
as we dare stay out providing one
doesn't want to go in the guard house
as this is the place where they keep
all prisoners that don't know how to
take care of themselves. The weather
doesn't seem much like Christmas.
Last night was the first time that it
froze here. While down town yester-
day you could see the kids running
around bare footed so you can imag-
inc how cold it is. Today was a fine
day, the sun was shining all day,
about the only real decent day that
we have had since we've been here
and tomorrow will be just four weeks
that We are here. The barracks in
which we are quartered have floors
which are composed of the real
French soil and they answer for the
same purpose as the hard maple
flooring we have at home. Am sleep
ing beside the stove which is only
about five feet away from my bunk
ard am at present sitting on my bunk
writing on board so you see every
thing is fire and real handy.
Well, l told you all about Christ
mas now but will wait and explain
how / spent Thanksgivirg in the
French box cars as couldn't very
well explain in writing, sees du?
Have been making portable sidewalks
for the last few days and have more
of a snap than work as there are five
of us ard we are our own boss There
is rumor around that we may leave
here after the first of the year and if
this is the case may get home soon
er than expected but can't tell any
thing about it at all as there is so
much talk going around that you
can't depend on it one bit. Well
think l will just have to close as this
is all the paper / have and here's
hoping that you all had a Merry
Christmas and Happy New Year.
Good night, Bf6tder E E2SSief:. Miechanfe
