To Mr.. Thos. F. Curtis:

Mayschoss, Germany.
received your card yesterday and
was indeed glad to hear from you and
to know you are all we'll. / am we'll
and having good time.
Evan is off on fourteen-day leave.
He left Sunday. hope he will have
q good time and from the reports of
other boys returning from leave, l
don't see how he can avoid a good
time. don't know whether l will
get leave or not. l have been on
several short passes up and down the
Rhine. I have been from Coblenz to
Coin and you may bet your life it
was some trip. wish you could have
been with me. Believe me, boy, there
Is something to be seen on the River
Rhine.
I first took trip from Remargen
10 Coblenz on the train. We went
up the banks of the Rhine all the
way. enjoyed that trip fine, but
nothing like the one down the river.
got q round trip from Remargen
to Coin on a sightseeing boat. You
may talk about your sightseeing trip,
but that one beat any have ever
taken.
It 10 hard to tell when we will sail
for they change orders SO often,
but we hope to be home by the Fourth
of July. We are now scheduled to
sail in April, and here is hoping that
order wont be changed unless it is
changed to an earlier date.
You spoke of having lots of chick
ems. Old boy, must say you have
the right idea, unless have forgotten
the taste of them. But to tell the
truth q soldier doesn't know what he
wants to eat. He is not very choosy
about his eats, nor little does he care
about where he sleeps. I have slept
in all kinds of places and have seen
the time would refuse no kind of
eats. Give my love to Bessie and all
the children.
Your brother-in-law,
Frank P. Vaughn

THE ELECTION IN MT. cRoGHAN

Indications point to complete vic
tory for good roads in the forthcom-
ing bond election in Mt. Croghan
Township. to be held Friday, April
11th. The good-roads spirit is NOV
ing the people everywhere, but we
congratulate Mt. Croghan on taking
the lead in this business-like manner.
1t is believed that an increase in
the taxes of only ten per cent. will
take care of the interest on these
bonds and retire same in due course.
The good people of that township
do not need to be told that property
values will rise for above the cost of
the good roads.

What About Electric Service? :?

There has been a great deal of discussion lately, about the manner in which our municipa! utilities are being conducted: and as to what can be done tc make them pay a larger per cent of profit. "Do you know a way out?" is frequently asked, one of another.
 The water system is making a neat profit and is piling up a sinking fund that will be avail able later, to pay off the bonds voted for a water system. It is a paying proposition. and it on- ly remains for the Council to solve the problem of improving the quality of the water-es- pecially in the summer time and there will no longer be any room for a kick regarding the municipal water system. The Council is now working on the problem of improving the quality of the water. The job can be done and it is up to the Council to do it. Let us have patience a little longer and give the council time .to work out a solution.
 In the matter of electrical service, the Council is confront ed by a much more difficult un- derta king. In a town the size of Williams it is not an easy matter to make an electric light plant pay we'll. The present plant is not paying, when the annual depreciation is estimat- ed at ten per cent. Many sug. gestions have been made as to. how the expense of operation might be cut in order to make the service pay. Cutting off the day current has been sug- gested, but that would be out. of harmony with a progressive town and therefore cannot be seriously considered in Will Hams. Changing the present plant for one propelled by steam has also been suggested but it is generally felt that the expense would be prohibative at the present time.
 There is just about one way

BOLSHEVISM- CURE

President Wilson has asked for food to stop the wave of Bolshevism roll ing westward out of Russia. No jn- te11igent person doubts the value of food as a first aid, but at bottom the security of our institutions rests upon the working interest the people take in those institutions.
 Citizens having no interest in government, no economic interest in the success of that government, are apt to be the first victims of vicious propaganda CT unbalanced political theorists On the other hand men and women who have invested in their government either by way of conduct ing private enterprise under it's pro- lection or through direct purchase of government securities have something at stake and desire to maintain stable institutions. Such persons are not necessarily reactionists. They may be quite progressive and anxious for reform where reform is needed.
 Consequently the effective barrier to Bolshevism in America today Is thrift and investment. The philosophy must reach into the workshops of the nation. It is reaching into those work shops and into the schoolhouses of the nation in the form of the Thrift Stamp and the War Savings Stamp, interest paying engagements of the United States government which can be bought for as low as 25 cents.
 When everybody in America is buy ing Thrift and War Savings Stamps as a habit, one won't hear much about the I. w w. in America
 It is the financial and patriotic duty of every American who loves real liberty to get the Thrift Stamp habit NOW.

KAHN POINTS WAY TO ESCAPE
 HEAVY TAXES
California Congressman Says People Must Cooperate
 With Government

Congressman Julius Kahn of Cali fornfa, senior member of the Military Affairs Committee of the House, in signed statement given out at Wash ington, reviews briefly some of the problems confronting the government in postwar finance and urges the country to help congress hold down taxes. He said:
 How is the United States going to pay her war debts which are now be- ginning to flood the nations treasury? The outflow of public funds today is al most on par with the expenditures made while the war was raging AL though there are no more munitions or implements of war to be purchased, the engines of destruction which Amer ican factories created ito bring about the downfall of the imperial govern ment. of Germany have not all been paid for. Then there are the heavy expenditures incident to readjusting the world from a war to a peace basis.
 Reconstruction Cost Heavy.
 Tt is no news to students of history to be told that the expenses of post war reconstruction have always been as great and many times greater than the actual war outlay. Food must be shipped to our boys who are still on foreign soil. Money must be raised to further projects having to do with fitting these noble heroes of ours with suitable occupations. Those who have been maimed must not be made to come into competition with the sound
 Where is the money to come from The people themselves. although they lent patriotic and wholehearted sup port to the governments war program and made unprecedented sacrifices keenly felt the effect of the taxes i'm posed in the revenue bill such as they had never faced before and would have not submitted to except in view of ex traordfnary circumstances. Now that ;; the war is over we must find some way, of raising money to finance the various necessary projects confronting the nation.
 People Must Cooperate.
 The people must cooperate, and they can cooperate without paying heavy taxes. They can continue to invest iI War, Savings Stamps, Liberty Bonds and other government securities, ane help the government by helping them selves.
 The government offers it's citizens two-fold proposition, mutually helpful -FuDds can be raised to help the gov eernment meet it's obligations, by ths patriotic cooperation of the people who are at the same time making al safe an investment as can be made in securities, backed by the most stabl' ] business on earth, that of Uncle Sam.

out of the difficulty and that is the one the council is now working on. That is to hold expenses down the best possi' ble while giving good service, and at the same time contrive to sell more "juice." If enough current could be sold to keep the plant running at capacity, the plant would make good profit. If the Council can make the presents plant pay the tax payers will feel like raising funds for a steam plant at a later date.
