Dear Mother:-
! Just received your letter yesterday
morning the first for four or five
weeks. You can't imagine hoy glad
| was to hear from you. have never
heard about any tracer you or any
body else sent after me.
/ have written quite often and you
should have heard from me at least
three or four times a month. heard
from Albert once in base 27 and
wrote to him repeatedly but heard no
more from him. Although he stated
ne was feeling fine and expected he
would be on his way home before
received his letter
know the influenza is claiming its
enormous number of victims without
you mentioning the fact.
You may also tell Aunt Emma l
wrote to her twice without receiving
any answer Also tell her that l am
glad to hear she came out fine as to
her operation. You ask when l think
/ will get home. Well, that is not for
me to say; although hope in the near
future l will look upon the good old
U. S. A..
l believe we were in Kahlen, Lux
emburg the time you received the let
ter you wrote about. Well, since then
we have made our way to Gelsdorp,
Germany. l have made number of |
trips to- Coblentz and Cologne, also
one to Metz and Thevis.
My work was truck driver but now
| am repairman for all the trucks and
cars in the company.
Mother, tell Earnest to stay where
he is and go to school, that is the best
advice | can give him.
If | ever get home we will have so
much to talk about we won't want to
ever settle down to real work again
| can not complain, / am
busy all the time over here.
And l want to add this: you want
to write more often and tell Fay the
same. | am sure glai to. know that
you are all we'll and feeling fine for

OFFICES TO BE MOVED
TO LOUISVILLE.

Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Daniel G. Roper has refused to be
Influenced by Kentucky Senators and
Congressman who have undertaken
to retain at least two internal reve-
nue. combination districts In the
State, and has announced his ad-
herence to his original intention of
consolidating all of the State into a
district with headquarters at Lou
isville.
While no Official statement could
be obtained on the matter of the col
lectorship, it seems to be a pretty
we'll assured fact that Collector Ell
wood Hamilton, of the Lexington dis
trict, will be made collector of the
new district There is vacancy in
the Louisville office which was to
have been filled by the appointment
of Charles J. Cronan, who the SEN
ate failed to confirm at the last ses-
sion of Congress and who has not
been renominated.
1t is believed that in view of the
consolidation of districts the Presi-
dent will not make a new appoint
ment and let out four old officers al
ready in. If one of the four is Sc
lected for the new Office it is gener-
ally believed that it will be Mr.
Hamilton.
However, it was stated at the office
of the Commissioner of Internal Rev.
enue that the matter of a collector
for the new district had not been de-
termined.

GUARD WHEAT AGAINST RATS
AND MICE.

1.-The greatest wheat crop ever pro-
duced in America is being harvested.
Grain elevators will soon become
veritable treasures, which thieving
rats and mice wilLbreak into if they
can.
Don't feed $2.26 wheat to rats and
mice, says the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Traps, poison
and rat-proof construction will stop
their raids.
The arch enemies of stored grain
are dampness and rodent pests
rats and mice. An elevator with a
leaky roof is only a little worse than
one allowing free entry to rats and
mice. The present. price of wheat
makes telling appeal for rat proof
construction of wheat containers.
Now is the time to fill rat holes with
cement, or cover them with cement,
or cover them with sheet iron, and
to build new mouse-proof granaries
of either concrete or galvanized
sheet iron.
Where rats and mice have plenty
OF food and are unmolested, they
multiply overwhelmingly. For ex-
ample, in Australia during the great
war, sacks of wheat in high piles
awaiting shipment became infested
by mice, which riddled the sacks and
destroyed large part of the con-
tents before preventative steps were
taken. Under similar circumstances
like result would inevitably occur
In this country. Where it is imprac-
ticable to provide tight containers
for stored products, steps should be
taken Immediately to trap or poison
rats and mice in the general vicinity
of storage buildings, and should be
continued till the last rodent is dis
posed of. IS.
The United States Department of
Agriculture furnishes plans and bills
of materials for rat-proof granaries,
and in it's Farmers Bulletin 500 de-
scribed various methods of destroying
rats and mice. These publications
may be had free on application to the

The Agricultural Bill will be pass
ed with the repeal rider eliminated
and it was said that no effort would
be made TO pass the repeal measure
as a separate bill, as it undoubtedly
would be vetoed by the President,
Under the now defeated rider, the
law would have been repealed on
October 26.
Immediately after Speaker Gillett
announced the result amid the ap-
plause of supporters of the daylight
saving law, the bill was referred
back to the Agricultural Committee,
which will meet probably Tuesday to
report the measure with the repeal
rider eliminated.
Because of the House action the
Senate will not have the opportunity
to attempt passage of the bill over
the Presidents veto.
The House vote did not divide
along political lines, the proponents
of the repeal being those represent
ing agricultural districts. =

AN OBITUARY
duke McLuke, In Cincinnati En-
Quirer.)

quirer.)
Oswald Fish is dead. Oswald was
merely goldfish, but he was Luke's
friend and companion. For nine
years he swan around in a large
bowl and kept us in good humor by
his antics. He was the last of a
family Of ten. All of his brothers
and sisters died of some seven years
ago, and Oswald lived alone. He
wasn't fancy goldfish. He was
about half sucker minnow and half
a boon companion and faithful
friend. He never complained until
the last, and took things as they
came like a real optimist. Prohibit
ton killed Oswald. One day, some
six years ago, Luke accidently slop-
ped little beer out of a glass while
standing over Oswald's bowl. Os-
valid dashed up to the surface and
tasted the beer. He sucked up every
drop he could find and hunted for
more. We gave him a little more.
We gave him little more. Oswald
drank it. Then he pulled off three
ring circus all by himself. He loop
ed the loop, stood on his head, stood
on his tail and threw triple somer-
saults. Every day after that we saw
that Oswald received his daily ration
Of beer. And Oswald displayed his
gratitude by pulling off his three
ring circus. But Prohibition put an
end to beer, and two weeks ago we
gave Oswald his last drink. Every
day since he has tried to attract our
attention so that we would give him
his beer, but we had none to give
him. Poor Oswald sulked at the bot
tom of the bowl for days at time
and would not be comforted. He
would not eat, and he would not
drink water. Yesterday morning we
found him dead. The water in the
bowl had turned into salt and Oswald
was encased in the salt. He had
wept to much that his tears turned
the water into brine and this caused
his death. He died of thirst.
