THROUGH WAR
 WITHOUT SCRATCH

 "Bcndorf-on-the-RhInc, Jan. Q. Dear friend Steve.
 Just a line to lct you know how much l appreciate the X. J. and D. l. News. The first number was de- lightful surprise, and the delight. if not surprise. has been repeated with each subsequent number
 "As you see by the headline. am over here in Deutschland seeing that Heinc doesn't pull off any queer stunts while we've got him on pro- bation. or course, it was very nice of Gen Pershing to send us over here, but we felt that we had seen enough of the world while the fight ing was going on. We would have been glad Co let some of Che fellows who are lamcnting the fact that they didn't get Co see any action have the honor of doing "Dic Wacht Am Rhcin."
 Sorry didn't keep up my cor respondence with my Gastincau Channel friends during the war but it was a pretty busy summer for us and writing material was generally about as scarce as pie. That makes me think I'd like to be putting my feet under the table at the r. B. IT, right now The only thing in France of which there is plenty is cootics.
 Haven't run across any or the boys over here, but it isn't strange as there is quite a crowd here.
 Well, I'm very thankful to say that came through without scratch though there were a good many times that | wouldn't have given much for my chances of doing SO. Give my best regards to all thc old crowd that are left. Hope to see an again some day. Sincerely.
 LEO J. TILL.

ENTITLED TO EXEMPTION.
Spanish American War Veterans
Should Claim Tax Relief Allowed.

Veterans of the Spanish American
war who are taxpayers should claim
the exemption from taxes allowed them
by the state law, which was passed
by the general assembly two years ago
and that went into effect July !. 1918.
The exemption allowed these veterans
is $500 actual value. or s125 of taxable
value of either real or personal prop
erty. II the veteran has no real prop
erty he can claim the exemption on
personal property.
The law did not become effective
until after the assessment of prop
erty was made last spring, which ac
counts for the reason why the exemp
ton will not be shown on the tax re-
cords. Those entitled to the exemp-
ton can, however. have the exemption
noted on the tax books by making ap-
plication to the office of county au-
ditor. In taxes on real estate the eX-
emption amounts to about SIS under
the millage levy on which taxes are
being paid this year.

Contracts for reinforced concrete
bridges and culverts. estimated by
County Engineer Hickok to cost
siS,sls, probably will be let by
the board Of supervisors Saturday
afternoon. Bids are to be received up
to O'Clock and opened at that time.
The list on which bids are being asked
includes forty-four structures, most of
them being culverts scattered all
over the county. Only three good
sized bridges are included.
The number Of bridges in the list
this year is the smallest for several
years. The board of supervisors pur-
posely kept down the number because
OF the cost of material and labor. The
work has been divided into two groups
one in the northern township and the
other in the southern and the work
will probably be divided into two con-
tracts. The proposed contracts will
amount to only about one-third of the
cost of bridges built last year.
Three Large Bridges
The three large bridges are in Min
erva and Logan townships. The lar
gest OF these is a siSty-foot truss de-
signed TO span Minerva creek in Min
erva township and estimated to cost
s5.371. Another, but smaller bridge,
thirty-two feet long. is also designed
for Minerva township TO span a
branch of Linn creek. It is estimated
to cost sass. The largest bridge
specified for the southern half Of the
county is an eighteen-foot span de-
signed to be placed across branch
of the North Skunk river in Logan
township. II Is estimated TO cost 1851.
Distribution Of Work.
The work specified for the northern
half of the county includes twenty
three culverts and bridges that are
placed in one group for the purpose Of
the letting. The estimate cost of this
group has been placed at s21,l6I by the
county engineer
In it is included jobs in Vienna.
Marion, Liscomb, Bangor. Iowa, Mar
ietta and Minerva townships.
Twenty one jobs are listed for the
southern half OF the county and make
up group No. g These jobs have been
estimated to cost s21.752. They in
clude work in Eden, Logan, Washing
ton. Timber Creek. Jefferson, Green
castle and LeGrand townships.
