Dear Mother and All: Reed your
letter and Xmas box yesterday and
sure was glad to get them. The candy
is fine and is the best thing you could
have sent. It was in good shape and
the Judges and seafoam could't be bet
ter. Am glad you are getting my let
tiers now. / have written quite regu-
larly and hope you get all of them. |
have been getting the papers you sent
and it seems good to get the home pa
pers
Well, mother, just got back from a
four day visit to Paris. | have been
playing on the 18th Regt. football team
and we played a big game in Paris on
Xmas day. 1t certainly is some city.
There are some wonderful cathedrals
and buildings there and we saw most
of them. We visited Napoleon tomb.
His grave is covered with sand bags
Just at present. This was done to pro-
tect it against possible bombardment
when the Germans were SO close to
Paris. We saw many things he used
when living, including the chair he had
on his throne, the horse he used to
ride, which has been stuffed and pre-
served. The paintings in these build
ings are the most beautiful ! have ever
seen. We also saw the famous old
Noter Dame cathedral and were in
there on Xmas morn while mass was
being said. We saw so many different
noted buildings and things that it would
take book to tell it. Paris sure is a
beautiful city and has some wonderful
boulevards. There are hundreds of big
German guns, that we captured, in the
parks and along the boulevards. do
not wonder that the French fought SO
hard when the Germans got close to
Paris as it certainly is worth it.
We had great time while we were
there. There were two majors, two
captains and three lieutenants with US
and we couldn't have had better officers
with us. They certainly treated us
fine. Major Miller played with US and
was Just like one of the boys. He is
an old University of Wisconsin player
and he is some player.
Give my regards to all the neighbors.
Hope you had Merry Xmas. F.

F0REsAW RAPAcITY or HUNS
Many Years Ago Charles Dickens

number Of persons were endeavoring
to form in 1851. The words written
then by the great English author are
worth repeating:

this French character of his have a
peculiarly prophetic ring. Here they
are.

A Creed of Theorists.

Socialism is beautiful dream, but il
brings nothing to the table, no roofs
over the heads of laboring men. 1t is
pathetic, indeed, to think of men pour
ing over theories that have been tried
and convicted a thousand times of i'm
potence, torturing their brains over
civic puzzles more idle than the dilem-
ma of Buridan's donkey, while all the
time in the busy marts of commerce
noble examples of personal accomplish
ments beg an audience with reason in
order that they may show what prac-
tical man may do for his fellow men.
1t is no less pathetic to watch the
mobs who lend willing ears to the full
limitations of theorists who speculate
about such abstruse propositions as
creating conditions where every man
will be boss, going around with his
hands in his pockets, and the only fell
low who may be called upon once in a
while to do little work is the owner
of the enterprise And strangest of
all is the willingness man manifests in
parting with his hard earned dollars to
sustain an institution which reason tells
him is impotent to aid him in the slight
est degree. Socialism is a soulless,
heartless thing. It gives nothing to
those from whom it takes much. 1t
condemns the very men it ought to
praise, and praises those it should con-
denim.

THE prospective production of sugar
for the season of 1888 is about 1873,
600 short tons less than the annual
average for the five years just before
the. war which, as compared with a
total of 18, $50, 600 short tons, is not of
great significance, and the current crop
is regarded by the United States De-
partment of Agriculture as practically
sufficient to meet normal world con-
sumption even if present stocks did not
exist. Attention is called to the fact,
however, that the world sugar supply
is not normally distributed. There is a
shortage in the beet-sugar production
in Europe of so per cent of the pre-war
average, amounting to about a, $50, 900
tons, while in the same time the cane
sugar output has increased 3,842, 600
tons, and the beet sugar crop of the
United States is 131, 900 tons above the
pre-war average, though the smallest
since 1914. No considerable increase
in beet sugar production is expected
within the next IL months, though it is
expected ultimately to exceed that of
pre-war times.

THE happiest man in the world 10
the poor fellow who earns just enough
money to pay his debts. Such man
is possessed of the happiness which
causes him to whistle and sing as he
goes about his work, and when ne
meets you on the street pleasant
smile, speaking louder than words,
convinces you. of his sincerity. The
rich man, with a mortgage on every
other house in town and with a bank
account, may be happy, but his happi-
ness is not of the heart; neither does it
manifest itself as does the true happi-
ness that radiates from the counter
ance of ar honest working man.

CLAIMS CENTURY-0LD FUND
Chilean Government Asks Return Of
Unexpended Portion OF In.
deH,nity Paid in 1921.

The full bench Of the Massachusetts,
supreme court has been called upon
to determine the ownership of fund
nearly century old, which is claimed
by the commonwealth Of Massachu-
sets on one hand and the Chilean gov
eminent on the other.
In 1921 an American ship returning
from China to Boston was seized by
Chilean revolutionists and it's cargo
cOnfiscated. When normal conditions
prevailed I'm Chile the United States
demanded indemnity and Chile paid
SIC,
William FL. Gardiner Of Brookline,
Mass, was selected to distribute the
money among those entitled to IL. He
executed the trust except as to two
Chinese-known only as Paqua an3
Moqua, merchants-and Thomas Fur
Der Of Boston. Mr.. Gardiner failed to
locate these persons or their represen-
tatives. When he died the trust was
transmitted to his son, and upon the
latter's death to the grandson and
great-grandson, Robert H. Gardiner
and Robert 81. Gardiner, Jr., who are
now its custodians.
The present holders Of the fund
have searched through the records Of
the state department, through the
American consular service at Canton,
China, and through various other
sources, for the heirs Of Paqua, Moqua
and Thomas Furber, without success.

BREAD is selling today in the United
States at double its normal price. The
prices of all other foodstuffs are regu-
lated largely by the cost of bread, and
until there is reduction in the price
of the latter there will not be any ma
terial ptice decline of foods. But 80
long as wheat sells for g. Is per bushel
and until it is put on the market at a
fair price it is evident there can be no
cutting down of the cost of bread. II
the principal ingredient commands q
double price, the product must be sold
at figure to correspond. The wheat
situation is gr0viag one of great en-
barrassment to the government at
Washington, which appears completely
at fault as to what shall be done.

Prepare for Revenue Inventory.

Revenue Collector Williams requests
the following information be given the
public:
The revenue bill now pending in Con-
gress will doubtless become. law in
the course of the next ten days or two
weeks. The day after the President
signs this bill an increased tax becomes
effective on all stocks of cigars, cigar
cites and manufactured tobacco of all
kinds, as we'll as an increased tax upon
all distilled spirits, wines, etc. Every
dealer in any of these commodities is
required to file sworn return and in
ventory with the Collector of Internal
Revenue, and such inventory must be
taken on the morning of the day the
law becomes effective. This Office will
mail to the dealers a few days before
the law becomes effective, proper in
ventory forms. The law places upon
each dealer the responsibility of advis-
ing himself as to the effective date of
the bill, and, therefore, they should be
cautioned to watch newspaper, an
nouncements of the day the President
signs the bill and the following morn
ing take actual inventory of his stock.
The law provides severe penalties for
failure on the part of the dealers to
make inventory and return as required
by law. Therefore, / feel that the
newspapers of this district will be
pleased to serve their patrons as well
as their government by giving the wild.
est publicity to this information In or
der that dealers may not unintention-
ally involve themselves In the penal.

National Lutheran Council Campaign
In September, 1916, in Chicago the
National Lutheran Council was Or
ganized which permanently unites the
greater portion of the Lutheran
Church for common action in prob
lens that affect them all alike. The
first great call for the Lutheran Coun
ell to serve came with the close of the
war, in the many problems of recon-
struction and careful survey of the
situation showed that the sum of
$500, 100000 was necessary for use,
largely in international reconstruction
service among Lutherans who are VIC
TINS of the great war, and are locat-
ed in France, Finland, Poland, the
Balkan States and other parts of
Europe. Those people are in desti-
tuition and dire need with no promise
of an early condition which will en-
able them to help themselves. They
have been victims of circumstances
over which they have had absolutely
no control, and they need help.
The quota for the Norwegian Ln-
theran Church of this city is $215.00,
which will be raised by popular sub
scription among it's members and to
this end a campaign committee has
been created, who will make collec-
tons through personal solicitations,
