 Dear Aunt Dot:-Your letter received, and was glad indeed to hear from you. + was in France when l got your letter and just now have chance to answer it.
 1 guess you are all feeling bet ter over the way things are go. ing now, at least 1 am anyway. l was among the first troops to go over the German frontier after the armistice.
 There sure was great rej joicing in France on that eventful day. We came up through Lorraine, which is very beautiful coun- try. We also travelled quite a distance alongside the famous Rhine river. whose valley IS beautiful to behold.
 We'll, Aunt, 1 went through a good many battles and thus far have received no wounds. 1 think l was q very lucky young man and you would have thought so too, # you could only have seen 1t. l do not know when we are coming home, but think 1t will be some tune yet, as things like this are slow processes.
 What has ever become of Un- cle Will? Also Mllliard Dutfin and family? Are Hugh and Ralph still in the training camp? I'll bet those big rascais make good soldiers. 1 expect Vie is about as large as they are now, is he not? Tell them I'll have great big story to tell them some of these days before long. 1 am glad, now that 1t Is over, that they did not have to be exposed to the dangers of warfare. 1 nave seen lives snutfed out in the twinkling of an eey. But they were given up cheerfuly in the true belief sthat it was the best cause ever fought for.
 am in good health and get ting along splendidly with the exception of getting kicked by a horse just above the left knee, but am about alright again. Il was out of the running tor few days though.
 Will close now hoping to hear from you soon. Give my love to every body. sTell Aunt Mary and Uncle George that 1 hope to be with them before very long. As ever your devoted nephew.

in quietude and peace. (4) In many
cases land for county park work pur-
poses may be Obtained without cost,
public spirited citizens being glad to
donate sufficient acreage for that
purpose. especially since there IS
much land in every county well

not adapted to agricultural pursuits.
Such land is sometimes better adapt

Great Good

Could be done to yourself and the CITY
of LUBBOCK, if the vacant property
owners would build some neat houses on
them. 1t would enable great many Of
mighty good people who are wanting to
come here to find homes. Also your
property is enhanced and the revenue
will be more than satisfactory
If you will investigate the plan
whereby lend money for such purposes
you will likely start that house before
long.
Nothing could be more convenient
than the plan of repayment which |
make.

Say Packing Houses
Use So Much Water
District Is Left Dry

The city council yesterday auth
orized Commissioner FOWL to con-
fer with the Metropolitna Water
board with a view of obtaining re-
lief for water consumers in the vi
cinity of Twenty-seventh and {
streets.
The complaint is that a main
serving the packing houses some
times leaves householders without
pressure, and also jeopardizes fire
protection.
"A man told me that he filled a
barrel with water for use in time
of need, leaving a hose in the bar
rel" said Mr.. FOWL. "He also said
that when the packing houses were
using water the suction was so
strong all of the water was drawn
out of his barrel back into the
main"

My HEART and
MY HUSBAND
Adele Garrison's New Phase of
Revelations
of O. Wife
The Way Madge Handled" Mr..
Prentiss

A fash of intuition warned me
what Alice Holcombe meant to say
to Mr.. Prentiss of the school board,
and made a desperate effort to
stop her for l knew what inca1cu-
liable harm she might do both her
self and the man whose cause she
was so zealously championing.
Alice" l exclaimed imperatively,
as if l had just remembered some
thing important, "the teachers must
be told of the closing of the schools
at once, for it is nearly time for the
pupils to come. Will you attend to
it please? And I will get whatever
instructions Mr.. Prentiss has for
u.s."
! was transgressing all the TN
written rules of seniority, to say
nothing of those surrounding COM
mon courtesy, in thus addressing my
colleague as if | were her superior
officer in the school. But I counted
upon my friends natural surprise
at my unprecedented manner to
turn her attention to me.
My ruse succeeded. She looked
up startled with resentment in her
eyes. But had stepped as if care
lessly to one side, and from a van
tage point nearly behind the broad
back of Mr.. Prentiss I gave her an
imperative signal for silence and
obedience. held my breath in the
uncertainty over what she meant to
do, was relieved indeed to see sud-
den assent, though sullen and un-
compromising in her eyes.
Every well,' she said quietly, and
Mr.. Prentiss looked after her with
puzzled eyes.
What ais Alice Holcombe?" he
asked testify. "She is always a
little" Mr.. Prentiss searched wildly
for the word he wanted, brought up
"offish" at last with an air of tri-
umph-"but she looked wild-tyed
just now, as if she would like to
scratch my eyes out"
He stopped to chuckle apprecia-
lively at his own quip and the pause
gave me time to gather my own
scattered wits.
You must remember, Mr.. Prem
tiss," l said in my most dignihed
manner, that Miss Holcombe was
perhaps the nearest friend Of both
MIR. and Mrs. Stockbridge. I under
stand she has known them both
since childhood, and this thing has
been a great shock to her. She is
hardly responsible for what she says
or does just now. But of she is
given little time she will soon be
her own poised self again"
The Instructions"
Mr.. Prentiss looked at me with a
glance which he evidently intended
to be the quintessence of shrewd-
ness.
II suppose 50, I suppose so" he
said. Eyes, yes. But it would be
very unfortunate for her, very un-
fortunate, if she should happen to
take the wrong attitude in this affair
What do you think about it all Mrs
Graham?'
I made my face as inscrutable as
possible, my voice crisp and matter
of-fact.
Il have no opinion whatever to
express in the matter" l replied
"And it certainly cannot matter to
anyone in Bayview what my views
are. Ny contract expires at the
end of this school year, less than a
month away. l have not the slight
est intention of renewing it, and l
should welcome any opportunity to
cancel it now. / am only staying
