Interesting Letter to His Parents.

Nh. and Mrs. George W. Biggs have
received from their son, Corp. G.. W.
Biggs. Co. A, 303d Sp. Tn, the follow
ing interesting letter.
Lemur, France, Dec. %, 1918.
Dear Mother and Father
This is the first Christmas that l
ever spent away from home. But it
did not mean much more than any
other day, as | was on the road most
all day, but managed to get in in time
for the big dinner and it was some
dinner. Turkey and all the filings. l
just finished n of the most wonder
full trips l ever made, from Lemur to
Neyers, about n hundred and forty
miles each way, passing through Avail
Ion and Corbingy and Premery, all
good-sized towns. Starting shortly af-
ter dinner l left Lemur and reached
Avalon just at dusk and decided to
stop over night as it was raining hard
and | did not care to travel in the
dark. After locating an hotel l found
there was a Theatre in town, so my
helper and / brushed up a bit and
went to the show, paying five francs,
about one dollar. for seats. The play
was all French, so l did not get much

After a good nights sleep in a French
bed W. started on our way at Eve
thirty Monday morning and reached
Nevers at five in the evening. We
placed our order for the material we
wanted and were told that il would not
be ready until two o'clock next day, so
we hunted up a hotel to spend the
night and had supper. I think we had
| eaxron IiffOranf nIo+nr ac aoah an11rcn
is served on a new plate and only n
thing at a time. But | did not care
as the Hotel furnished the K. P.,s to
wash the dishes. We did not get up
until eight-thirty Tuesday morning and
spent the morning in the Red Cross
Hut, where we had dinner. After din
ner we went back to the warehouse,
and after waiting a short time, receiv-
ed our supplies and started back to Lee
muir. We reached Arbingy at six o.
clock Tuesday evening and stopped
for the night. The Hotel and supper
were about the same as at the other
places. We left C%orbingy at six o.
clock and by driving hard managed TO
reach Lemur in time for a late dinner.
On this trip l had the experience of
driving up a mountain and through
the clouds. 1t was much colder on
top of the mountain than down in the
low places and the rain was mixed
with hail. While on the trip l heard
several rumors that w were going
home shortly, but l don't know if there
is any truth in them or not. But
things look much brighter than they
did, and | think we will be home short
". But l cannot say how shortly. l
had a good line of talk when I started
this letter. but the boys have started
an argument and I will have to stop
writing and join the argument. Am
enclosing a few postals of the places |
passed through. One of the boys just
came in and said it was showing hard
so I guess we will have a Christmas
after all, as it would not be Christmas
without snow. But the French people
do not make much time over Christ
mas. So you do not miss it much.
Well. l will close now, hoping this
finds you in the best of health, I re-
main,
Your loving son.

GREY MAC LAUGHLlN is SAFE.

His many friends in this vicinity
will be glad to learn that word has
finally been received of the safety of
Sergeant Grey D. Mclaughlin, about
whom there has been quite some anx-
iety owing to the fact that no news
from or of him had been received here
for nearly six months. In a letter
just received by his wife he makes no
reference to any break in his letters
and it is presumed hat the mails have
been at fault in some way. He is at
tached to Aero Division, No. Sc, of the
American EXpeditionary Forces and
the cheyrons which he is wearing show
that he has been doing good work.

FOR BETTER EXPRESS SERVICE

The American Railways Express Co.
has inaugurated a campaign for better
service, and is arousing the enthus1-
asm of its employees. The local agent,
George w. Hams, is very much inter-
ested, and is bending every effort to
give the people here proper service.
The public is also requested to CO.
operate, especially in the packing and
addressing of packages, for it is found
that hundreds of thousands of pack
ages are annually undelivered from
these causes

The Fighting 3o3, ONO.
Mother take down your service flag,
Your son is in the ONO;
He shouldn't be classed with the boys
at the front,
The boys in the Infantry.
For he doesn't need a service flag
To let them know that he
Does as much as any man
Outside of the ONO.
When the men are in the front line
trenches.
And haven't a thing to eat;
Then it is up to the boys in the ONO
To perform their little feat.
So eff they go with their three ton
trucks.
Which are loaded with fresh meat,
Straight on there to the very front
lines.
In spite of the battles heat.
The NJ. P. yeIls as they go by,
There is gas up in Section Three,
So they stop the train to adjust their
mask
For that is compulsory.
Then Truck No. 4 is blown to hell,
As d smell AEdlo nlOhSA GCCs
Mother take down yo-- service flag,
He was in the ONO.
Another goes at Dead Mans Bend, q.
And that leaves only three;
Out of the five trucks that started out,
One from each Company.
The three pull in and unload their
grub,
While Jerry's guns you see
Make things as hot as possible,
For the boys in the ONO.
They work out in the open
Where the willy Fritz can see,
And they sure have no protection
From his Artillery.
Go ask the boys in the trenches
Where they would rather be.
And they will tell you it's rather any
where
Than the Fighting ONO.
And when the War is over
And we are back in the Z. S. A.
Telling stories of the battles

FARMERS FORUM 7'R E::::: ';; 6:


was the actual price at the time of
the hearing.
Another very interesting fact was
brought out by Mr.. Stevenson in his
closing argument in behalf of the
wheat growers. He pointed out that
in the past the northwestern wheat
has commanded a premium of about
20 cents over soft wheat, for the rea-
son that it was generally so rich in
gluten that it could be mixed with
soft wheat so as to make a high
grade patent -four from the mixtures:
that soft wheat alone contained so
much starch that the loaf made from
it was small and heavy and lacked
palatability that makes the hard
wheat bread so valuable, and for this
reason the light weight hard wheat
raised this year had an additional
value for mixing purposes, over and
above it's intrinsic value, especially
because the winter wheat this year is
unusually weak in gluten and needs
this mixture more than in any or
binary year.
The correctness of Mr.. Steenerson's
argument was admitted by the ex-
perts present, and was further prov
en- by the fact that the government
is offering to sell from it's store of
flour in New York, made from soft
wheat, at 1885 per barrel, with no
takers, because the people demand
flour made in whole or in part from
the hard wheat of the northwest.
The Minnesota grain inspection,
through Mr.. Jacobson, O'Niel and
Holmberg, produced more than a
dozen samples of wheat weighing
from 48 to 60 pounds test weight,
with samples of -four made from
each, showing that the lighter wheat
made about as good bread as that
made from No. 1.
May we suggest that farmers in
tersted in wheat save the above
figures for future reference, as the
percentage of flour and feed in a
bushel of each grade of wheat being
available, he can at any time figure
out the difference between the selling
price of his wheat and the cost of his
flour and feed.

You, too, are entitled to this service and
