DEATH OF RAY LOVE.

There was a general expression OF
regret and sympathy for the family
last Thursday when it was learned
that Ray, the 15-year old son of Mr.
and Mrs c. E. Love, had passed away
and especially was his loss keen'y
felt among the pupils of the public
school where the deceased was a great
favorite. Weeks ago young Love was
taken down with the prevailing epi-
demic, influenza and the ailment de-
veloped into pneumonia. For days the
patient was very low and his life was
dispared of. He made gallant fight
and was showing signs of improvement
and the hope was held out that he
would eventually recover. Unfortu-
nately quick consumption developed.
which was the cause Of death. Out of
respect for the deceased the flag at the
after the funeral. which took place
from the Methodist church Sunday
afternoon. That building was not
large enough to accommodate the vast
number of friends and acqua'ntances
who attended to pay their last respects
to the dead Almost all the school chill
dren were in attendance besides a
large gathering Of adults. The services
as conducted by Rev. Martin were
very touching and impressive. The fu-
neral cortage to the cemetery was enc
of the largest ever seen in Orovi,ie.
Ray Love was born at Langdon,
North Dakota, in October, 1908, and
hence was few months over Is years
of age at the time of his death. He was
an exceptionally bright and likeable
lad, and was very popular among the
young people of the town. He was a
favorite with teachers and pupils, and
all who knew him liked him for his
worthy traits of character. A boy with
ambition to learn, Industrious,
thoughtful and loving in his home had
he been spared he would have made g
name for himself in any walk of life
upon which he might have entered. He
was the only son of devoted parents
and the sympathy of the community
goes out to the father and mother in
the hour of their great bereavement.

IN GAY PAREE.

Since the armistice. which ended ac-
tive service for the soldier and there
remained no incentive to keep up the
general morale of the army letters
from the boys in France have been
brief and the. contents almost wholly
confined to expressions of hope for an
early return home. Hence those let
ters have been of little general inter-
est. In late letter from Lieut.. Frank
M, Dallam, Jr., while most of it is de-
voted to repeating his anxiety to get
back to Washington, he gives the fol-
lowing brief account of being in Paris
on leave:
II am with Fred (Dr. Fred Whit
taker, formerly of Republic, former
school mateO again for several days.
! asked for a there days pass to Paris
and was lucky enough to draw a IA
days leave. At first | intended to go
on to Nice, but the weather there is
not good now and there is too much
to see here to miss this chance. A part
of the Louvre Musee is open for the
first time since the war. The picture
gallaries are still closed but there is
a great deal to see in wonderful stat
uary and historical collections. The
building itself is marvel of beauty.
At last l have seen the original Venus
de Milo and the famous Winged Vic
tory. The latter has the most wonder
full setting in it's placement that could
be conceived. In one salon devoted to
mosiats and marble statues and orna-
ments and furniture of Roman make
found an immense old marble bath
tub, and when l saw that it occurred
to me that probably the Louvre was
particularly designed to house this
greatest suriosity in Europe-the only
known bath tub in France. Even that
Is disappointing from the standpoint of
utility, however, as the plumbing is
incomplete.
Yesterday l visited the church St.
Gervais, which was struck by shell
(Big Bertha) on Good Friday last year.
when so many women and children
were murdered. The hole in the roof is
visible where the shell entered, but
the interior where 1t exploded is board
ed up. However, there are many marks
where the fragments struck candles,
pictures and walls. Also visited the
famous st. Chapelle church adjoin-
ing the Palace of Justice, the most
perfect piece of Gothic architecture in
Paris, built in the 18th century by
Louis TX: Its great rose window of
18th century stained glass is alone
worth coming to France to see."

Do we think the war is over? Are
we doing he best we can for our
country, or are we sitting back and
taking things easy? .
Uncle Sam has great expense to
meet, not only in bringing our boys
home, but in keeping contented and
comfortable those who must remain
until everything is settled. By buy
ing and selling War Savings and
Thrift Stamps we are able to help
meet this large sum and at the same
to bring home happy those OF our
boys who are free to come.
The quota for school this year, be-
ginning January 1, 1919, and ending
January 1, 1920, is $40 per pupil.
There are now 200 enrolled, which
makes the total amount $4,000. Are
we going over the top? We can 90
it if we work and buy.
Our government needs our support.
Bolshevism in Russia has brought
terrorism, murder and treachery to
that country. We in America are not
exempt from it's horrors, for already
our nation is feeling it's influence. In
at least two states in the west it has
strong foothold.
The question is, are we giong to
stand by our government and answer
it's calls, or are we going to leave
our homesick boys in France, and give
over our country to Bolshevism!

same spirit I find ] am experiencing
here, and it seems already that !
can tell the difference in the days
length. 1t showed just little last
week, but melted as it fell and the
ground was frozen a little once or
twice, but the dampness chills you so
and makes me feel my rheumatism a
little sometimes, but hardly as much
as at home. This does not seem like
winter, although we must be farther
north than you are. The children still
wear their short stockings, and bare
legs, as suppose they do all the year.
/ am sitting behind the stove and
supporting this paper on an empty
cigar box. Most of the boys have
gone for walk, so it is real quiet

camp and have it pretty well fixed

are more contented than if they were
idle. But, of course, "going home" is
the chief topic of conversation, as |
suppose it is what one thinks about
most, and wants most. But they say
that everything comes to him who
waits, SO wait we will as wait we
must.
was thinking today, while eating
my mess of roast beef, spuds, bread,
cake, jello, tapioca pudding and cocoa,
that it would be more pleasant to be
eating it at home off of China dishes,
than away over here off an aluminium
mess kit. But we never think OF
those things long at time, because
YOU know we have to pack up our
troubles in our old kit bag and smile,

such a bunch of fellows as we are to-

have lots of good times.
