Dear jeff: Guess you will be sur
prised to get letter from me. Hope
you and your family are all doing fine.
I have been doing fine over here. God
has blessed me with good health and
certainly am thankful for it. How is
Mama and all of them getting along?
Hope they are all we'll.
Well, I guess you were glad to know
when the armistice was signed. I'm
certainly thankful to God for it, but
Il had been looking for it for some time
I was on the Verdun front from the
18th of October until the war was
over. We knew the day before when
they were going to quit firing, but we
doubted it. 1 will tell you all about it
when 1 get back and hope that won't
be long but expect it will be longer
than think, =.
How did your crop turn out? Hope
it was good though. Are you still
staying where you were. last year!
Guess you had some nice hogs to kill
this winter Know Papa and those had
some fine ones; didn't they? Hope
will get home for Easter anyway. And
you can't imagine how glad will be.
l will be the happiest boy that ever
lived when get home for it seems as
if had been away from home couple
years.
Did you all have big Christmas?
Hope you did 1t seemed a little like
Christmas over here to me. How is

Dear Pat: Received a nice letter
from you today and as YOU know was
mighty glad to hear from you and to
know that everybody was getting along
o. K.
have been almost sick for several
days with very severe cold. Think
I almost had the, flu, but am some bet
ter now. Have been taking some
medicine for day or two. Think l
shall be all right in few days.
Well, thought when the war ended
that we would have been home be-
FORE now. It has been few days over
two months, and I don't have the least
idea when we will start home, but do
hope it won't be long for l am very
anxious to get home since its all over
"over here" Will have some expe-
riences to relate when l get there,
some that will sound almost unbeliev-
able.
Am sorry that you all have not
heard from me before now for l have
written lots since the war ended for [
knew you all would feel better after
having heard from me. Am glad that
you heard from Rob, after it was all
over. Don't suppose he was in battle,
was he? I sincerely hope that he
wasn't for it was something more than
a thought. Also got letter from
Jimmie too, today along with yours,
and one from - and one from
. So you see 1 got four today.
That was the first mail I had gotten
in long time. Something is wrong
with the mail both ways, going and
coming. / just wrote Jimmie letter
about week ago, also wrote you one
not long ago Wrote and mailed Annie
a long one yesterday. Hope she will
get it before long.
I How was it you didn't have good
time Christmas? We had very good
dinner and that was about all, besides
a day off to walk about and that's
something we hardly ever have. l
mailed you all copy Of the menu for
the Christmas dinner.
! Guess you think we are having a
good time since the war is over. Well,
we are drilling again and we will al
ways do that until We are mustered
out, which l hope will be soon.
Am awful glad you ard Clarence
were lucky enough to miss what [
have gone through, with. Wish Rob
could have missed it too.
Well, guess 1 had better stop and go

who threw our hats into the air and
cheered on that November day when
the armistice was signed viii be call
ed upon to prove that we are as ready
to lend as to cheer.
A soldier returning from France to
his home city, remarked to a citizen
who met him with hald-shake:
This welcome and flowers are all
very nice. But how about job?"
Uncle Sam can well say to his peo-
pie:
THAT cheering for peace was ine.
But how about paying the bills for
bringing it about?"
The war bills must be paid. Any.
body can see that. There are two
ways to pay them.
One is to borrow the money from the
people. The other is to tax it out OF
the people.
Our war taxes-most of them on
luxuries-are heavy enough now. But
unless the Victory Loan is literally
subscribed they will seem small be-
sides the taxes to come.
Uncle sam had rather sell securities
than put on new taxes.
He must do one or the other.
It's up to the public.

CHURCHES TO AID
VICTORY LOAN BY
SERMONS ON MAY 4
lt viii Be a Thanksgiving Loan" In
Recognition OF This country's
Happiness And The Re
turn Of Peace

Sunday, May 4. has been designated
all over the United States as Victory
Loan Sunday, when every pastor OF
every denomination is asked to dis
cuss from the pulpit the Victory Loan
campaign and urge upon their hearers
such investments in the Victory Loan
as they can undertake.
1t has been the observation of those
prominent in former Liberty Loan
campaigns that the churches have had
enormous influence in furthering sub
scriptions. And there is every reason
why this should be So Lending to
ones country is something more than
a business investment. 1t is a patri-
otto obligation and surely patriotism
a deep regard for ones homeland-is
form of religion.
The Victory Loan is also being call
ed the Thanksgiving Lean and sure.
ly it is a fitting designation Think
of the boys who have come back home,
alive and well, with the enemy van
pushed, the battles over! Think of
peaceful America, its people prosper
Gus, its children happy and well nour-
ished, it's lands safe from the inva-
sion of foe; and compare our situa-
ton with that Of starving Russia and
Poland, with Germany torn by Red
revolution; with victorious France still
bleeding from the scars of horrible
war. Think of the heavy taxation
which must for years burden the peo-
pie of Europe, victors and vanquished
alike. And then compare our situation
herewith our government asking
only that we lend what we can spare,
with gi1t-edged security and liberal in
terest. Certainly, we can afford to
cali this a Thanksgiving Loan, and
prove our thankfulness by liberal in
vestments. There is not a father who
has seen his boy come home, or who
has learned that he is safe overseas,
who can afford to cheat himself of his
share in this-the last of the govern
mcnt loans-which will pay the war
bill and finish the job"

"FAIR AND SQUARE,

The individual quota system, recog-
nized everywhere as the Fair and

serve district in the approaching VIC
tory Loan campaign.
Under this plan. a definite quota
based on property and income is as
signed every resident of the county,
and he is asked to invest that sum
in the Victory Loan. 1t is intended ia
this way to see that every man bears
his share of the load and knows his

more patriotic who are willing to take

"BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD"

"There are hermit souls that live
withdrawn
In the peace of their self content;
There are souls, ike stars, that dwell
apart
In fellowless armament;
There are pioneer souls that blaze
their paths
Where highways never ran
But let me live by the side Of the
road
And be friend to man.
Let me live in house by the side
Of the road,
Where the race of men go by
The men who are good and the men
who are bad,
AS good and as bad as |.
/ would not sit in the scorner's seat
Or hurl the cynic's ban
Let me live in a house by the side Of
the road
And be a friend to man.
I see from my house by the side of
the road,
By the side Of the highway Of life,
The men who press with the ardor Of
hope,
The men who are faint with the
strife.
But | turn not away from their
smiles nor their tears
Both parts of an infinite plan
Let me live in house by the side Of
the road
And be friend TO man.
l know there are brook-gladdened
meadows ahead
And mountains of wearisome
height,
And the road passes on through the
long afternoon
And stretches away to the night
But still / rejoice when the travellers
rejoice,
And weep with the strangers that
moan,
Nor live. in my house by the side Of
the road
Like man who dwelIs alone.
Let me live in my house by the side
of the road,
Where the race of men go by
They are good, they are bad, they are
weak, they are strong,
Wise, foolish-so am /.
Then why should I sit in the scorn-
er's seat
Or hurl the cynic's ban?
Let me live in the house by the side
of the road
And be friend to man.

HERBERT KAUFMAN
ON THE Y. M C. A

The Y. M. G. A. is not a civic in.
stitution in the sense that it is sup
ported by municipal or national tax-
alton. But it is a civic body in that
it is accomplishing a civic duty and
fulfilling a civic need It & as nee
essary in its field of endeavor as the
public school and the state univer-
sity, because its mission is identical
with theirs-the betterneut Of Amer
lean citizenship. It is educating
boys to be strong in brain, strong
in body and strong in soul. It is
giving them culture in its cducation-
al classes; thew, sinew ond good red
blood in its gymnasiurns; morality
in its ethical courses. It is helping
them not only to DC brighter men,
but also to be Better men and might
Ter men. It has grown to BE- a pow
erful factor in city life, because the
reason for its existence is powerful.
The Y. M. G. A. has broader aim
than creed and wider ambition tl-an
sect. 1t breaches self respect; it
weaves an ethical and moral wool
into the warp of life. 1t is building
stronger bodies to hold saner and
cleaner minds. 1t is bringing educa-
ton to those whose premature re-
sponsibiilties forced them to forego
its earlier requirement. It's latch
string fits into the hand Of all men,
irrespective Of race, religion or line
age. It's Christianity strikes the clear
note of humanitarinism. What
preachments are made in its halls are
those Of brotherhood. With one hand
it is striving to help the struggling
up the slope and with the other it is
steadying the laggard and the dis
heartened. 1t has done more to inn
pregnate young men with betterment
than any single force ever brought to
bear upon youth,

Baptists inDrive
for $2,5OO,OOO.OO

Southern Baptists are now IN
great mission drive for $2,5OO,OOO
for Home and FoEeign Missions.
These funds are for the purpose Of
covering the expenses of the mission
work of these two departments for
the past year, and for the enlarge
ment for the future. Southern Bap-
fists do their home and foreign mis-
sion work through two mission
boards. The Foreign Mission Board
is located at Richmond, Va, and the
Home Mission Board is located at
Atlanta, Ga. These boards are COM
posed of representative men from
the various states, who give their
time and effort, without~cost, to the
denomination. The Foreign Mission
Board is doing work in different
countries, including China, Japan,
Africa, Italy, Panama, Brazil, Argen-
tina and New Mexico. The work Of
the Home Mission Board is in the
destitute sections Of the South,
among the foreigners Of our great
cities and in Cuba.
The Southern Baptist Convention,
in session last year at Hot Springs,
Ark, instructed the Foreign Mission
Board to lay out its work on basis
of $1,500,O00 this year. In compli-
ance with this instruction, the board
is charging its mission work into all
foreign countries and total amount
will be necessary to meet the current
expenses of the past year and pro-
vide for future enlargement, such as
tn fields demand. Perhaps there has
never been a tim in the history of
the work when the call Of foreign
missions presented greater chal-
lenge to the Christians of America
than today The world is looking to
America for political freedom and re-
ligious light. American ideals are
to become the ideals of the world and
American Christian principles viii
solve problems of the present world
chaos The work Of home missions
is especially necessary that the ,''home
fires be kept burning, and that the
base of supplies for worldwide. evan
gelism may be maintained. The
Home Mission Board is doing a very
important work among the foreign
ers and in destitute sections Of the
South.
The apportionment for Louisiana
Baptists in this drive is $4,000, to
be equally divided between the two
mission boards. Louisiana Baptists
have just wrought a wonderful
achievement in putting over the top
their campaign for the Baptist Bible
Institute of New Orleans for S125,-
COO. Certainly they shall not faIter
in the present drive for $4,000.
There are more than $4,000 white
Baptists in the state and if the task
is equally distributed, victory is GER
tain.
The apportionment for the associa-
ton covered by this parish is as fol-
lows: Washington Parish, $1,000.
The managers of these associations
have thoroughly organized the cam
paign for ohurch-to-church and
member-to-member canvas. It. is
fully expected that the quota as
signed will be raised.

PAN TO CONNECT CHINCOTEAGUE
WITH MAINLAND

Connecting the island of Chlnco-
league with the Virginia mainland
is the plan Of Captain John Wheal-
ton. which. if successful, will bring
the isolated island with it's popula-
tion of 5000 people within easy
touch Of the peninsula. The bridge,
which is contemplated, will be
seven miles long and will be built
over a series of marshes and small
islands at a heavy cost. With the
large amount Of freight which IS
now brought to the mainland by
boats. but which could then De
brought by trucks, it is thought
that a charge Of 81 toll for each
truck would make the bridge pay

sends out hundreds Of carloads OF
fish and oysters every year, ana tne
income from that one source Wouio
be considerable, not taking lhte
account the freight to be sent III 0, o.
the hundreds of tourists who woulc
probably visit this quaint old IS
land. The money to bulld I'M

by people who live in that section
and bids for the construction Wofi
will bc asked for in a few days.
