other Certificate to be Obtained

Postmaster j. T. Carey has received
a supply of Thrift and War Savings
stamps for the year 1919 so the Thrift
and War Savings stamp campaign Is
assured for another year. The new
series of War Savings stamps will
be sold at the same prices as the III us
series, starting with $4.12 in January
and increasing one cent per month,
but will mature on Jan. /, 1894, max
ing them exactly the same kind Of
an investment for the purchaser.
The new stamp is rather smaller
than the one sold during the past
year. and is further distinguished
from the first issue by being printed
in .blue ink and bearing the likeness
of Benjamin Franklin. The 1918
stamps bore the picture of Washing
ton and were printed in a blush
green ink. Thus it is apparent that
a line of 1.-The fathers is to be recog-
nized in these issues. Every condi-
tion governing the sale of the old
stamps will prevail with refernce to
the new.
/, The Thrift stamps for the new
series will be the same as those which
have heretofore been sold, so IL You
have "a card partly filled with the
twenty-five cent stamps you can keep
right on until it gets big enough to
buy one OF the $500 variety. The

too much from the time they were

to Fromerville to be nearer the line.

Dear Father:
This letter was supposed to have
been written couple of days ago, but
we have been moving again and
things were SO unsettled | couldn't

Now that the war is over can tell
you of my travels. We left New York
January 18th and arrived at Halifax
two days later. We were there daJ
and half and then sailed on to Glas-
gov, where we arrived on January
Both. No summaries were even sight
led. The trip up the Clyde river was
simply wonderful. both banks are
thick with shipyards. We saw ships,
submarines and tanks in all stages of
construction. On the evening Of Jan.
uary 31st the nurses disembarked af-
ter watching the troops leave the ship
during the day. AbQAt 10 p. m. We
boarded a train for London. Their
trains here have no sleepers. We
were, on a car similar to our parlor
cars only not so large. Slept the
best we could and reached our desti-
nation about "a. M, tired, stiff and
cold and the fog was awful A U. s..
officer and an American nurse met
us and tooksus to the American nurses
club where we had a nice breakfast.
After that we all piled into two large
automobiles and went to the Portland

buy enough to eat or get fuel enough
to keep lis warm while there. We left
London early one morning and cross
ed the English channel from Folkstone
to Bpulogne. There we stayed over
might and went to Paris the next day.
The Y. w. G. A. hostess house was our
stopping place for two days and
nights and there surely was a lineup
the first night for the bath tub as we
had not had real bath since leaving
New York. The first day we rested
and the second day we saw few
sights and places Of interest, such as
Notre Dame and the latin quarter, al
|so the bastile. Again we took the
train in the morning and this time we
went to Augers, where we joined base

there only a few days and on the 9th

we stayed until June when we were

we proceeded to Coulomiers. The

FORMERLY AGENT AT DELolT
Mrs. J. 3. Ketterer, One Time Station
Agent at Deioit, Dies at Home
Of Brother at Odebolt.

The following account Of the death
Of Mrs. ]. B. Ketterer, taken from the
Odebolt Chronicle, will be of interest
to our readers in Deloit and vicinity,
inasmuch as Mrs. Ketterer was sta
ton agent at that place since last
spring until recently when she went
to Odebolt to make her home with
her brother until her husband return
ed from France where he is in the
service Of his country.
One OF the extremely sad deaths IN
this community was that of Mrs. j. b.
Ketterer, which occurred at the home
of her brother, Leo P. Beck, at ten
minutes past O'clock on the morning
Of December 23d. Death was due to
pneumonia, which followed influenza.
The funeral was held Tuesday
morning at $3.50 o'clock, a short SER
vice being held at the Catholic GENE
terry with Rev. Father Schaefer In
charge.
Anna N. Beck was born at Perry,
this state, Aug. 10, 1883. She has re-
sided at different places in the state,
coming here from Ute when her broth
er Leo came here to take the station.
Her home has been here since that
time until her marriage Aug. IA, 1917,
to Joseph B. Ketterer Since that
time she has lived in Deloit.
Her husband was station agent at
Deloit and when he vas called to the
colOrs last spring, Mrs. Ketterer was
appointed agent in his place, and has
acceptably filled the position.
The fact that the husband is in the
service of his country. and still in
France, makes this death seem sad,
indeed.
Mrs. Ketterer leaves her mother,
Mrs. Della Beck; two sisters, Mrs.
T. E. Shanahan of Ute, and Mrs. 1rvil
Jones of Sac City; and three brothers.
Leo of Odebolt; Frank p. OF Ft. Sill,
Okla, and Henry p. recently return.
ed from service. Her father died
about seventeen years ago. All were
present for the funeral except Frank.
