ceived by Mrs. Barton from her son
Clyde:
American Expeditionary Forces,
February %, 1918.
Dear mamma: Your letter just re-
ceived and as usual was awful glad
to hear from you and to know you
are all well. Glad the pictures
reached you o. X. Was afraid they
would get lost. There is no news OF
any interest, only nearly all Of this
week has been holidays. II is not SO
cold now as 1t has been, but it's quite
rainy. No; have not been to Paris
or Berlin, but was within IA miles
of Paris. Have seen all of this coun-
try I care to now. The next place /
want to go is hom e. made an al
lotment of 500 per month. These
Dutchmen can find so many ways of
getting, decided that was the only
way to save it. All I keep here is
just enough to pay for my washing
and tobacco. You can put it away
for me-, Don't know when it will
reach you,
Mamma, you certainly tickled me
when you said what you did about
the bugs. almost laughed out
aloud. You asked il all the soldiers
have them. They say you are not q
soldier until you have them and
know there is not a soldier that
fought any length of time that did
not get them. You ask how they got
them. That is easily explained. They
are in dugouts and trenches and In
fact all over the whole country. No
matter how cold a day would be the
first thing after a drive or hike you
could see them taking off shirts b.
the hundreds just as far up the line
as could be seen. The poor fellows
could be seen setting in the mud or
the edge of the trench or dugout
working faithfully killing them. i
your clothes ever got dry and 20,
were not moving they were simply
unbearable. Didn't you ever read o
| them in all the magazines you take
They are called coolies. They dit
their part in winning the warm ou
spare time they kept us busy so w
could not think of home. AY. M. G
A.. man said corned Bill Salmons
coolies and the allies are the one
that won the war. So don't think !
is a disgrace for soldier TO hav
them. But, understands we are ri
of them now. Our clothes were no
changed in 30 days and always we
and muddy. My face was not washes
for 10 days. MY shoes were on TO
is days. One night some Of us de
cided to take them of and next morn
ing my feet we're swollen so 1t wa
nearly noon before I could get then
on again. Lots more were in tn
same fix. Mamma, you have no ide
of how a soldier who has been fight
ing looks No matter how much yo'
read of it you can't, draw the slight
est imagination Of how he looks.
The morning the armistice wa
signed I was almost naked. M
clothes were torn from one end to tn
other from going through the barbe
wire entanglements and thick wood
of the Argonne forest. They wer
covered nearly one inch thick in mu'
leggins nearly off and feet frozen, an
was in mud half leg deep all that day
But was so glad of the armistice.

Mr.. A. G.. Mum, who donated the
Park was far-seeing enough to real
lie that some time the people Of
Lakeland would want to put up a
building in it. He therefore desig-
mated a spot 1OOx1OO feet in the north
west corner of the Park as the site
for such a building. The proposed
community building would not take
up all the space set apart for & build
ing by Mr.. Mum, and it would not
interfere in the slightest with the
present uses of the Park But 1t
would provide an invaluable asset for
the city. something that would adver-
tise it all over the country.

New Maps Offered Schools

What school wants ,colored map
of The New Europe?
Uncle Sam offers one free to schools
that have the pep to go after 1t.
Distribution has been arranged by
the War Savings Organization in the
Ninth Federal District and M. 3.
Harrison, director, explains the plan
in this way:
"The government has printed in
colors map showing, as accurately
as is possible, the war made bound
aries of the old world. Every teacher
will recognize the value of such a
map. The government hasn't enough
to supply every school room, but our
organization can supply them at the.
ratio of one for every seven school
rooms. We suggest that each room
have prize writing contest, the es-
says dealing with thrift subject
and being limited to 100.
"The teacher of each room should
select the most promising essays and
the essays thus selected from each
building should be sent to the city
or county superintendent, who will
cause the final award to be made" :"
AS the contest will be brought to
close on November 1 it is imper-
ative that every school that wishes
to obtain one of these government
maps, act at once.

Roosevelt Day in the Schools

James M. Mcconnell, State Com
missioner of Education, has mailed
the following letter to each school
superintendent and principal in the
state.
Theodore Roosevelt's work is
done, and his name is written with
the galaxy of great men who have
made the history of the United
States.
'It has been well said of him that
he was a great statesman, histor-
ian, a journalist, big game hunter,
a naturalist, an explorer, but in and
above all, he was an American, whose
ruling passion was his country
.sRoosevelt's tremendous energy;
his dauntless courage; and his fine
patriotism should be an inspiration
to every boy and girl in our scohols.
Throughout the country, a cam
paign is under way to raise fund
for the purpose of erecting a MEM
orial to commemorate the life and
work of Colonel Roosevelt. In the
schools, the prime purpose is not to
raise money, but to teach patriotism
and good citizenship. To this end
we recommend that every school in
Minnesota provide for an appropriate
observance of Roosevelt's birthday on
October twenty-seventh.
"The program should teach Theo-
lore Roosevelt as great American.
"On this occasion, children should
be given an opportunity to have
some part, however small, in the
memorial. On the other hand, CIV
ing should be entirely voluntary. It
is especially the wish of those in
charge of this movement that no one
should be urged to give. Especially
in the schools, no child should give
contrary to the wishes Of his parents.
"Such funds as are given in the
schools will, of course, be placed in
the hands of the local chairman Of
the Memorial Committee"

TURN CLOCKS BACK
SUNDAY, OCTOBER 26
Last Time People Of America Will
Be Asked to Disregard Sun
Time

The time to tinker the family
clock and get it back on the old
schedule is Sunday, October rs, at
/ o'clock in the morning.
Official information from Washing
ton received today is as follows:
Because of general uncertainty as
to when the clocks of the nation are
to be turned back and daylight saw
ing abolished in accordance with the
recent repeal of the act, it is an
nounced that clocks will be turned
back on the last Sunday of the
month, Oct. 26, at a. m.
Of course, if you feel unable to sit
UP till a. m. and hold the hands
of the clock there will probably be
no complaint from the government If
you perform the act little earlier in
the evening and crawl in to rest up
during the extra hour of sleep that
the change will make possible.

Beet Sugar Equals Cane

Now that the new crop Of western
beet sugar is becoming available,
housekeepers are asking many ques-
tions as to its value compared with
cane sugar. These queries are answ-
cred by Miss Hildred Weigley, head
of the home economics division of the
state agricultural college, who says:
''Beet sugar has chemical compost
tion identical with cane sugar. Pound
for pound the two sugars have equal
food value and equal sweetness.
There is no reason why beet sugar
should not be used in place of cane
sugar in any kind Of cooking includ-
ing the making Of preserves and
jellies."

AnAround Town
Cherry Season Ends With
Returns AT Record Mark

The cherry season Of 1919 practical
" came TO an end saturday night af-
ter making a record-finaneially
has probably never been surpassed,
notwithstanding the fact that the crop
generally was a little short Of last
year. There is no possibility Of getting
even an approximate of the tonnage
coming into Salem, but it was some
thing enormous when to the thousands
.of boxes consumed locally is added the
box shipments TO other markets and
the carloads consumed by half a doz.
en- packing plants. A slight Indication
lof the scope Of the industry is given in
the record of shipments made to the
California Glaee Fruit company thru
the Saem Fruit Union. The eonsign.
mentsr to this one company amounted
to about 230O barrels of 240 pounds
each. Probably they would have made
a record of $500 barrels had il not been
for the fact that number of big con.
tracts were cancelled on account of
wOrmy fruit. One fact seems to have
been demonstrated this season-there
is no possibility of an over supply OF
cherries of any description. And there
is no likelihood that the market price
will ever drop to point where the
growers viii not make a profit.

ial work that is something different
from the average job.

California doctor.
The doctor by the name of Grant
Selfridge is cndeavoring in his research.
es to find an anti-toxin for hay fever,
which is supposed to be caused by in.
haling the pollen of certain plants.
This California doctor is sending
throughout she coast especially equipped
men to secure the pollen from almost
all grasses in the valley and has select
ed Mr.. Clark to search this part of tbs
Willamette valley Having discovered
just what pollen causes hay fever, it il
understood the doctor will then proceed
TO bend his researches in finding an an
ti.toxin.
