| Clarence Bailey writes his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. G. G. Bailey from
where he is located in Germany as
follows:
Heilbercheid, Germany, March Is.
Dear Dad and All:
have plenty time now to write
home SO you will hear from me often.
We are having it pretty easy now.
The forenoon is drill and machine
gun practice and the afternoon we
have ball game and we have some
good games.
Tomorrow we have a big review
and go on ten mile hike but that's
not bad. We are getting plenty of
everything and would have no kick
coming if we only could hear We're
going home"
The First division is net booked
for anything only Germany and SO
guess they intend to make Dutch
men of US.
II showed some this morning but
good here and the farmers are sure
busy getting their land ready for the
seed. They do not work with horses
very much for they haven't got them
to work. All of their farm work
such as blowing and the like is done
with cows. You may think this
strange but they use their milk cows
to do the work.
All the farmers around here have
about four cows and they work them
the same as we do horses or oxen. If
they have a heavy lead they get a
horse somewhere and put at the
wheels and two wheels and two cows
in front, some system 4 tell you,
about a century behind.
Another sergeant and myself are
staying with a German family and
will tell you how they live. They
have a dozen kids and they live, sleep
and eat all in the same room. When
they get ready to eat they gather in
circle and have large dish of POI
tatoes, some bread, coffee or milk
and that is all. Each one has a
spoon and they all eat from one dish.
Say, they sound like a machine gun
in action. 1t is not right for me to
talk about these people but l want
you to know what kind of a place
am in, but we move soon and my next
place may be in 4 palace. These
people have had to give up their best
rooms to US SO we fare good. My
pal and just look wise and take it
all in while he plays the mandolin. A
few months ago we were paid for
killing these people and now we are
paid for living with them. What
next?
They are having not times in Berlin
but l hope they will net move US
there. We are just like dog look
ing for trouble but this dog has had
all the trouble he wants and is willing
to quit any old time they say ego
home"
You say Don has get in the service.
Well, the navy took us over and the
navy brings US back and he got in
just in time to do his bit. He will
have a bed and. that is more than
/ had. ! will see him when | come
home if / have to go to the coast.
He is in a good branch of the service.
The weather here is getting warm
er and the people say the winter is
over. Well, here's hoping it is.

Frank f, Conant, who accepted the
position as local manager of the
Cleaners Cooperative Co. local branch
when it was established here some
months ago, on Saturday terminated
his connection with that concern. Mr..
Conant has for the past five years
held the office Of city clerk in this
city and gave up this position for the
new one, which after few months
tryout proved unsatisfactory. Mr..
Conant would give no reason for sew
ering his connection with the concern
nor were we able to get any informa-
ton at the offices of the company as
to who would be the next manager
here.

Mr.. Limbaugh has been very successful in every

If it is not better to have man to superintend the

schools and help them with the difficulties in their work.
Isn't that part Of the duties of the Commissioner of

Washington, Aug. 6.-At the con-
lusion of a days activity by the
President, the subcommittee of the
cabinet appointed by Attorney Gen.
eral Palmer, and by the attorney gen.
aral himself, announcements were
made of immediate steps to be taken
to reduce the cost of living and of the
governments wheat policy. Decisions
reached were:
President Wilson decided to address
q message to congress recommending
additional legislation to aid in reduc-
ing the cost Of living.
Agents of the Department of JUS
tice were ordered to ferret out all
hoarders of necessaries and profiteers
throughout the country. They are to
be prosecuted under the food control
act.
The high cost of living was not dis
| cussed at the regular cabinet meet
ing, but Attorney General Palmer re-
NAMED after the meeting to confer
with the President and presented
memoranda prepared by the subcom-
mittee stating what the government
was doing and what it proposes doing
under existing laws and possible addi-
tional laws to cope with the situation.
The Department of Justice agents
throughout the country, the attorney
general said, have been ordered to in
stitute special Investigations to find
evidence of boarding and profiteer-
ing as prohibited under the Lever food
control act and prosecutions will be
Instituted without delay.
! Attorney General Palmer declined
to disclose >~&at remedial laws were
suggested to the President or to go
into detail as to hoV the department
would proceed under the existing
laws beyond saying that operating
under the Lever act did not mean the
function of the food administration
would be assumed by the Department
of Justice.
