Two Summers ago a girl could pack
all that she wore into q violin case.
And they tell us that this Summer she
will be able to pack her wardrobe into
a clarinet case.
Always try to remember that IL the
referee could see the fight better from
where you are sitting he would be sta
toned there, and that IL the umpire
could see the plays better from the
grand stand he would be located there.
A single man gets a lot of informa-
ton out OF a good newspaper. But
only a married man knows how
much that old cat across the street
owes the grocer, and how much that
old cat next door owes the laundry.
Some men go right ahead and break
their good resolutions so they can
make better ones.
When a fool man gets into trouble
he goes to q woman for sympathy.
And he merely acquires more trouble.
A mar may have sense enough to
select a good canteloupe, a good auto
mobile n a good egg. But that won't
keep him from falling down when he
tries to select a good wife.
OF course, men are all afraid of
their wives. But here is a tip in case
you want to try Matrimony a second
time. They tell us hat a man hasn't
much to fear from a woman who has
a jelly wobble effect when she laughs.
A man may be so weak that he can't
break anything else. But the weaker
he Is. the easier he finds IL TO break
a promise.
Any married man a tell o that

And the reaso why a girl feels hurt

From Floyd Thompson.

Grenoble, France, Feb. u, 1919.
Dear Folks: Am here on my sew
en- day leave, am among the Alps
mountains. stopping at the Hotel
Mormet, sleeping in honest-to-good-
ness bed and can you imagine an
American soldier being served in
courses?-well we are. Have a
splendid "Y" theatre every night,
orchestra and dance every after
noon. Started on trip yesterday,
but got to While too late to make
connections, SO went through the
silk mill and fish hatchery; expect
to make the trip tomorrow. Went
up to the castle this morning; twas
great sight; it is 1900 years old;
saw all kinds of stuffed birds and
animals, also saw all species of but
terflies, bugs and insects, a gun
mounted on four small wooden
wheels that was thirteen hundred
years old, also a piano 600 years old,
and an Italian bureau the same age.
This afternoon we climbed the
mountain and took fort, pretty
good for half day, is it not? Be-
lieve me. we had some climb, the
Precipitation was running off my face
like it used to drilling at Dodge.
Gee! mountain climbing is great
sport. Well, about the fort-'twas
so high up we got very good view.
A French soldier brought his tele-
scope out and focused it on another
fort % kiIOs away, and we could see
it fine, also looked through it and
saw across 3S kilos on top of a snow
clad mountain; they can keep a
million prisoners there at a time.

Bywaters came down yesterday and
stayed all night with us, first time

month. Yes, mamma, I got nice
letter from Ruth Lee, haven't had
time to- answer it yet. That picture
of Uncle Lewis was fine, sure would
like to see him. Altha sent me one
of mamma and papa and several of
mamma, you both look fine, If you

today. was. sure glad to hear from
you. ] am well and hope you are
the same. Well, Annie, am having
since have got rested up from our
hike up here from France, but you
know we had pretty good time on
the hike We were on the way al
most 80 days and we made about
$50 miles, that isn't so bad is it?
And ] think we saw some Of the
toughest country over here and We
try since we have been here. We
crossed the Mosel river into Ger
many on Sunday, the first day of
December, and wound up our hike
on Tuesday, December 18th. We
are having about four hours drill
we have to ourselves: OF course,
we get out early in the morning but
that isn't bad as have always been
used to that. can tell you quite a
lot about this country but there is
too much to tell to put in a letter,
so ! guess you folks will have to
wait till I get home to get the whole e
Andernack for the day and took a
about 80 miles and / saw some Of
the noted scenery of Germany and
want to tell you there is some Of
the greatest sceneries in the world
along the Rhine. I wish you could
see them. There is a town about
every or miles, then there is the
river bluffs which are so steep In
places that they have to shoe the
goats before they can climb the hills
and there are great Lodges Of rocks
that are several hundred feet high
and just as straight as If they were
laid that way and have great vine
yards on the side of these bluffs
and I-guess they have to shoot the
grapes off and let them roll to the
bottom to get them or have some
mud hooks to climb the hills with.
The Dutch people are sure treating
the American soldiers fine, but
guess it is because they know they
have to. Well, Annie, am sure
glad that the boys are all right and
hope they come home soon, for
know how anxious they are to get
there for If the sun would shine for
one day the people would celebrate
the occasion, for I don't think we
have seen tWenty-four hours with
out rain and sure would like to get
back to the good old U. S. A. again
but you know we can't all come
home at once, so guess that will
leave me among some of the last to

A Rockies Life in the Army.


And started through the mill,
The boys insisted singing,
This army life is hell.
1t was ten o'clock next morning
When the boys were gathered there
And the sergeant came to greet,
Gee! he sounded like bear.
He says 'Since you're in the army
You'll have to do things quick,
And when l calltattention
You must snap up with CLICK.
From now you are soldier
THIS xoH IS g4t y 70 n %x n 1oe l grt
At least you cannot quit.
They called us out that afternoon
We fell in one by one.
And marched to the inIirmary
Where aching soon begun.
The doctor said Haul off your buds
It's time you're going through,
And then he showed the needle
! l thought foot or two.
Some of the boys then tainted
And fell upon the floor,
| But we grabbed them up like dish
rags,
And carried them to the door.
And then we were marked quarters
A day or two l think.
Until our shoulders limbered up
! And we got off the blink.
We then marched to the driH-field,
The step was strange to me,
| The captain shouted as he walked
Zone! Two! Three!"
They marched US round that drill
field
Five hundred times that day,
And came back to the barricks
Each time different way.
The next thing was inspection,
r W eapa ma ssd We ss on f% ha gun
It isn't clean at all.
We soon got through inspections,
] bundled up my pack,
And left for embarkation
With the burden on my back.
About the first of August,
l think the seventh day,
We got aboard those Pullmans,
And soon were on our way.
We reached Camp Mills one evening
And landed in tent,
And had to tell the corporal
Everywhere we went.
We did not stay there very long
Until we were afloat,
And sailed for bloody England.
Upon a British boat.
The day before we landed,
wi oh
Twelve days upon the ocean,
1t seemed year or more.
We landed there in Liverpool
And took the evening train,
Which went to Stony Castle,
The camp that gave me pain.
From there we crossed the channel,
And lit in Sunny France,
The land of God Forgotten
Where life is but a chance.
They packed us there in box cars
And went to Pouillenay.
We slept in barns and COW sheds,
Without a bit Of hay.
Again we started moving
Upon that crowded train,
From there we went to Champey
And drilled out in the rains
We. lived on beans and bareback,
Sometimes the army stew,
And Is. there any wondering,
What made us have the flu?
From there we went to the trenches
Z That gave us fearful pain,
And kept the Huns from coning n
Through old Alsaco IoeFoine.
