ARMENIAN AND SYRIAN
DRIVE IS NOW CLOSED
Morris District Fell a Little Short,
But Did Well Under
Circumstances

The drive for funds to help the
starving people of Armenia and Syr-
ia closed last week and the people
of Stevens county have done fairly
we'll, altho they have not come up to
their allotment.
The entire nation was asked to
raise $30,000,000 in this drive, but
so far that amount has not been met.
The share allotted to the people of
this county was $4,000, a smaller
sum than was asked of any other
county in this part of the state. The
county was divided into districts,
each district to include one of the
towns and the surrounding town
ships. The Norris district included
the city of Morris and the townships
of Darnen, Morris, Framnas and
Swan Lake. This district was asked
to raise $1,000, but when the drive
closed last Saturday night the
amount paid in was only $858.5O. At
the present time the committee has
not figured up what each township
sent in, but this will be done soon.
The city of Morris was asked to raise
$500 of the amount and the town
ships 800 each. The city just made
up it's share but some of the town
ships have not come up to their allot-
ment of $1OO.
There are no excuses to offer for
not having raised the full amount
and it is felt that the farmers did
very we'll, considering that they we're
not solicited personally, but only ap-
pealed to by mail. If the committee
could have called on them to explain
the urgent need of the money and
tell of the conditions as they exist
in the countries Of Armenia and Syr-
| ia, there is not doubt but that twice
the amount asked would have been
raised. If there are any who feel
they still want to contribute to this
worthy cause they can sent their
money to E. W. Nobbs, chairman, at
once and it will be sent in and credit
ed to this district.
Other parts of the county are doing
quite we'll. The Hancock district
was asked for $500 and the last re-
port made was that they had raised
$425 but intended to go over the
top as soon as the committee could
get on the job. The village of Han
cock subscribed it's full amount The
last report was that Alberta had sent
in 1928 and the Chokio district
$338.75. The Donnelly district had
not taken the matter up at all when
the last report was made.
A complete report of the county
will be made by the county chairman
Rev. F. Stowe, sometime in the near
| future.

REAL GOOSE FEATHER
PILLOWS FOR HIS BED
Robert Stenger Reports that He Now
Gets Up Fifteen Minutes Earlier
So as to Dress

Many interesting side lights on life
in the army of Occupation are shed
by the following letter from Private
Robert Stenger, son of Judge and
Mrs. A. L. Stenger:
Heimbach, Germany,
January 21, 1919.
Dear Folks:
'Wie Gehts,' am up here where
we have to, "Sprechen Deutsch." in
stead of, "ParIey Vous Francias." We
have been up here three or four days
now.
1--WE went thru some very pretty
country on the way up, that is after
we went thru the section where they
did all the fighting. We followed
the Moselle river nearly all of the
way and as there are mountains on
both sides of the river, the scenery
is very picturesque.
eve saw some real old castles, way
up in the mountains, which looked
very nice also. They have great large
vineyards, along the mountain Sides
which at some places look almost i'm
possible to climb, still they grow
grapes there.
1--WE are billeted in houses here and
nave some pretty nice places. There
are four of us where I am staying
We have stove in the room and elec-
trio lights, so that makes it pretty
nice for us. We sleep on the floor
but we have thick straw ticks, SO il
isn't so bad. The old lady with whom
we stay gave us some real goose

feather pillows. That is the first real
pillow that T. have seen since I have
been in the army. The bed looked
so good the first night, that took all
my clothes off, and have been doing
so ever since. This is the first time
have taken off my clothes since I've
been in France. Whenever we went
to bed, we would just take off our
coat and shoes. We now have to get
up Is minutes earlier, to get dressed
in time for reveille.
''The lady we stay with is a real
old lady, and maybe you think she
can't talk. She is jabbering away all
of the time, and the worst of it is, no
one of us know what she is talking
about. I'm the only one that can un-
derstand little German, so the rest
of the fellows make me listen to her,
and you can imagine about how much
German know. They are having a
great old time now. There are three
of them jabbering away to beat the
cars. I never would be able to un-
, derstand them at all if they talked
that fast all of the time.
''Heimbach is a town of about
1000. There are two towns together,
Heimbach and Weis. One thing about
the towns here, they are very close
together, so if fellow has to go to
another town he does not have far to
walk. There is a street car line, so
it kind of makes fellow feel that he
is in large city.
1--WE are about 20 kilometers
! across the Rhine from CoblenZ. I
sure would like to get to Coblenz, as
from what hear it is quite a city.
"Well, folks, don't look too hard
for the 10th Ammunition Train to
be home, because I believe it will be
some time before we will sail, as we
are now in the army of occupation.
I hardly look to be home before the
4th of July, maybe we will be lucky
to be home by then.
"Tell Helen that she can't have
any trained cooties, as I haven't any
more. I've kept away from them
pretty we'll of late.
"Well folks, as want to write an
other letter tonight, will have to close
on this one.
"Lovingly,
"Private Robert R. Stenger,

Chas. Loeffler Tells of Prices in Lux

Thru the courtesy of Mrs. Richard
CARNEY, we are permitted to print
the following interesting and infor-
native letter from her brother, Chas.
Loeffler, who is with the American
Forces in France:
Dear Sister:
Well this is day Of rest. We have
been hikeing every day for nine days
and made about twelve miles a day
with our pack and rifle.

cember Is. We only stayed there ov-
er night and come back across the
river into Luxembourg. The river di-
vides the two.
'FThe reason you haven't heard
from me before is, we were up in the
lines for so days straight, before
peace was signed, and didn't have a
chance to write. We don't know
when we are going to start for the
States. There is some fellows betting
we will be on the water by January
II. don't know where they get the
information, but they have a lot Of
money to put up. There sure won't
be much chance of leaving before
that, because the peace conference is
not over until thirty days from De-
cember Is, and there won't be many
troops leave before then unless 1t is
some from the hospitals.

the part of Mr. and Mrs. John Brown
and their makeup alone got plenty
of applause from the audience. Mrs.
Stebbins took the cake and furnished
an abundance of humor and amuse-
ment for the audience every time that
She appeared. The climax was reach
ed when Mr.. Nobbs appeared as
hairdressers assistant. The applause
continued for several minutes and
he captured the audience from the
start. His makeup was perfect and
from the way he carried on the flirt-
alton with Mrs. Voss, he must have
been an old hand at the business.
The cast was exceedingly we'll chos-
en- for the play and all in all the per-
formance was a notably worthy one
and the individual players are to be
heartily congratulated upon their sue
cess.
Much of the success of the play and
we'll training of the cast is attributed
to the committee consisting of Mrs.
P. L. Spooner, Mrs. Chas. Lee and
Miss Catherine Griffith, under whose
able direction it was produced.
The orchestra music was furnished
by the West Central School of Agri-
culture and this part of the program
was donated free. Every piece rend-
cred by the orchestra was we'll played
and greatly enjoyed.
The Orpheum was packed and all
seats were sold out before the doors
were opened. Many could not get in,
while others stood up in the gallery.
The proceeds from the sale of tick
cts amounted to S2O2.3O. After the
expenses are paid the balance will
go to support four Frnech war or
phans. This play was given for the
benefit of the Fatherless Children OF
France Society.

Letter From Carl Opheim

Carl Opheim, whose untimely death
was mentioned last week, looked for
ward to his return to America soon,
according, to letter recently received
by Mrs. L. H. Schuman. The letter
was dated at st. Afghan, France, and
he speaks interestingly of his work
there. He said in part:
II was transferred to a Specialist
company in this district as a clerk
and from there came here to the
prison camp. I have been stationed
here now for almost five months and
like the place and work very much.
We have both German prisoners of
war here and a. Disciplinary Barracks
for Americans, and is one of the pref
tiest and cleanest camps of the divi-
sion. There are many skilled work.
men among the German prisoners and
they built their own barracks as we'll
as ours. They like themselves here
and were glad to get out of the fight
ing and rejoiced as much as we did
when news of the armistice reached
us. They receive the same ration we
do and have the same kind of bar
racks as the Americans and are given
the best of treatment, so they WILL
have nothing on us.
''The town we are stationed in is
called st. Afghan and is situated in
the central part of France, east of
Tours and south of Orleans. 1t is
not a very big town and I0have been
here so long now that I am getting
tired of it and hope that before long
I will get my seven day leave of alb
sence when I will have chance to
see little more of France before I
leave for home. @.~
'Herbert has been over here longer
than I have and has been up at the
front and his division is now in the
Army of Occupation so it might be
some time yet before we get to go to
the States and not until the Peace
Terms have been signed Altho not
in the service as long as I have been
Herbert has seen more of war then I
have and his experiences at the front
have been many and interesting. Last
summer he was at this station but
neither of us knew of the other, so
we did not meet I heard from Ed
win not so long ago and he was called
to go but was returned home from
Glenwood, as it was after the 18th
of last month.
'T did not hear of Testers death
until a couple of weeks ago in a let
ter from Edwin and did not even
know that he had entered the service
1t surprised me very much and I
could hardly realize it as he looked
so good the last time I saw him but
such things come sudden when they
come and camp life is quite change.
I feel for your loss and know that
altho some of us will come back
others will not and the home coming
will not be so joyful for many, but
such is life and the only way is to
take it as it comes" -
