 We are leaving St. Augustine in the morning for Jacksonville, Fla, and from there will head in for "dear old Brinkley."
 LATER:-Well we enjoyed our visit to Jacksonville very much. It is unlike any other Florida city. It is a gateway city and Uncle Sam has a small army of Railway Passenger Agents located there to assist ill handling the hundreds of thou sands of tourists who pass thro. While we were there we enjoyed meeting and being shown many courtesies from several Railroad Officials we had done business with during the several years O1 running the Arkansas on Wheels" train. While in Florida met quite a few tourists from various parts of the United States who, afCe asking what state I was from, and being told from Arkansas" would say Arkansas, why I saw a train 8 few years ago called Arkansas on Wheels, etc" One Virginian at Palatka told me he saw it al Richmond, Va, and that it was the greatest advertisement he ever saw and that it had literal ly opened the eyes of the world 10 the greatness of Arkansas and her wonderful resources and wide awake people" He asked me if 1 had seen the train and knew about it, and told  bim that I did and was aboard at Richmond, Va.
 But back to Jacksonville We were out by the ship yards Uncle Sam has four of these ship yards there and it is next to impossible to give you ar idea of the immensity Of this great work.

SHILOH ITEMS

Sunday School Sunday at Z D. m. and preaching at 3 ?. m. | Let everybody come out to both services. Let's do somthing at old Shiloh for our dear Savior who is so merciful to us. MT. Beck, our County Agent, delivered an interesting address to people of Shiloh last Friday, March z, and the people or Shiloh are going to stand by MT. Beck, for they know it is time to wake up to save the South. Every small farmer is willing to cut cotton acrage and plant plenty to eat and feed stuff but Mir. Big Farmer, how about you, are you willing to stand by your country and et'your share croppers plant plenty of feed stuff to eat?
 Parents, if your children must play marblesy see that they don't play during the hour of Sunday School. I am afraid some of us fathers and mothers will have to answer for some of our children at the judgment bar for how we train them.
 J. T. Nalley and Mrs. Lucy Belle Harding were elected rep resentatives of Shiloh commit nity to represent 'the people at various meetings, to assist MT. Beck in getting ready for our county fair. We hope that all communities will wake up. Let's live at home and not have to depend on the north and west for a living. Let's raise more feed stuff and have better hogs and cattle. Let's stand by the Sunny South but we must all put our shoulder to the wheel.
 Our country roads are so bad that people can't get any where. Many a person stays away from church and Sunday School on account of the roads. What if we need a doctor in the night? It would be impossible to get one. We hope that our Road Commissioners will see that our roads are filled in the near fu- ture.
 Bro. Wm. Bryant filled his regular appointment at Park Grove Sunday and delivered an interesting sermon on Mission ary work.
 If somebody asks you if we are going to have a high school, tell them yes, and if somebody tells you we won't, tell him that he is behind the excitement, for we have a school board that be- Ieves in education and in put ting up a building that genera tions to come will be proud of.
 Bro. Oberg and Bro. Green made a three minute talk Sun day on Missionary work, after Sunday School. A large crowd was present and good attention.
 Everybody remember prayer meeting Saturday night and we hope to see everybody out, es- recially those that believe in the upbuilding of our Saviour, at old Shiloh.
 Shiloh grave yard assocatiOn will meet Saturday night after services. Let's keep the good work up.

SNOWDRIFTS
FOUR FEET DEEP
IN WALDEN
Rural Mail Service Hit and
Telephone Wires Still
Down

Wednesdays snowstorm bids fair
to be one of the severest of the COM
ing winter in its disastrous effect up
on the telephone service, while rural
mail carriers in this section can tell
stories OF decidedly Arctic tinge.
One of the rural mail carriers whose
route from st. JohnsDury takes him
through North Dalville found snow
in the highway l 5inches leep and
in the highway Is inches deep
where it had never drifted before in
the heaviest storms. In several plac-
es the road was abandoned and the
carrier made his way as best he could
through fields. Even then it was i'm
possible to deliver all his mail as
he could not get around.
The telegraph company had less
trouble than the telephone company,
though c. H. Ward, the lineman for
the Vermont international Telegraph
Co., found drifts four feet deep in
Walden. This line was in trouble
Wednesday but soon put in order.
The lines south were repaired Thurs
day and all are in working order Fri
day.
Wire Chief Nichols of The New
England Tel. {, Tel. Co. informed
representative of the Caledonian
Friday morning that the trunk lines
were working, but that the linemen
were still working in half a dozen
towns in this immediate vicinity
mending the wires. 1t was one of the
severest storms the company has
ever experienced and coming so cary
in ~seasea-took them completely
by surprise.
At Hardwick the electric plant was
out of commission and in attempting
to plug in at the central station

ed enough electricity to melt all the
copper fixtures and turn solid met
al into liquid in fraction of
second.
Those who happened to be caught
out in automobiles had some stren-
uous experiences, but the worst that
has been reported was in the case of
a travelling man who was trying to
come from Hardwick to st. Johns
bury He arrived at the home of
Mrs. P. (. Hale in Walden late in
the evening and asked if he. could
spend the night there. He said he
started from Hardwick that after
noon and expected to make st.
Johnsbury that night, but he was SO
nearly exhausted that he begged to
be kept over night with the Hales,
and of course they took him in. He
told them he had dug his way
snowdrifts all the way to
Walden, that he had finally found a
barn where he could store his car
and that he wanter shelter for the
night. The drifts were over four
feet deep in some places and he had
been many hours on the road be-
tween the two towns.

To Put 1t Over
Red Cross Drive
November 2 to IL

The response to the third Red
Cross Roll Call has not been as
prompt as was hoped for.
This drive is being conducted in st.
Johnsbuly by the local post of the
American Legion. These ex-service
men have a very thorough apprecia-
ton of the work of the Red Cross
both in peace and in war and are
gladly giving their time to assist this
great organization. Everybody
should consider it a privilege to be
a member.
This campaign began last Sunday
and will continue through this
week. Tuesday. Remember these
men are all busy. Don't waste their
time and your own. st. Johnsbury
has responded to every previous Red
Cross call with more than 100 per
cent. Possibly the fact that we are
all engrossed with our own business
has caused some of US to overlook
the third Red Cross Roll Call.
st. Johnsbury will respond to this
call as it has to all others. The
home service work of the Red Cross
is still much needed as is also its
work with our army and navy and
also the great service which it is still
performing among the stricken peo-
pie in the war area.
