John L. HoIson Writes from
Germany.
Dear Dad /:
Wertloch, Germany,
January 5, 1919.

Dear Dad:
l am fceling splendid to-day. Had
a real dinner. The people l am stay
ing with are good to me-, Sergeant
Taggart and myself room together
and yesterday the lady of the house
said she was going to cook us din-
ner for to-day, and we had just what
it takes to go with good dinner,
plenty of good wine, and after dinner
a U. S. cigar, and the best of all we
had a good looking girl to wait on us.
She is about sixteen.
Just before we started to eat, we
took a picture of the table and the
big four around it and Ghe pretty girl
also in the picture. This was the best
dinner | had since LETT home. She
fried chicken, and l will not mention
everything else, but it was everything
good you could think Of. We had a
nice table in our room. There were
only four of us at the table. Ser
geant Taggart, Cook Clarke, Phil
Bruer, two good friends of the Ser
geant and myself, of course l was
there. l will send you picture as
soon as we get them made. | know
they are going to be good, so you see
we are having a real good time, even
if we are in Germany. l enjoyed it all
so much I had to write to you about
it, and the good part was, the dinner
was free. The lady wouldn't take a
penny for it. We gave her twenty
marks anyway, $3.50.
l heard to-day the 3rd Ammunition
Train would soon come home. l dc
not know how true it is, but hope it
is so, as l want to see you all again
/ sent you my picture some time ago
How did you like it? l am also mail,
ing you to-day "The Stars and
Stripes" thinking you may find some
thing in them you woulc like to read
Write the old boy long letter
soon.
Your loving son,
John l.. Holson.

slop from the kitchen and table. Now
| don't mean all of it, but about half
for my brother and j both are in the
pig club, so Mother divided the slop,
waste and milk between us. At first
my "Queenie" wouldn't drink much
water, but I kept it in a clean trough
before her all the tirle. So gradually
she began to drink g good deal. My
little pigs would come to the trough
and drink when they were hardly a
week old.
We had, / suppose what you call
platform scales. I put Queenie in
crate and placed the crate upon the
scales, so in this way I weighed my
sow. My little pigs were very gentle,
so caught them one by one and put
them i'll sack and weighed them
l did not feed my sow very much
at farrowing time because most every
one cautioned me about having her
too fat. Nor, for the first week after
narrowing did l feed her much. But
after the first week added to the
warm milk and slop I had been feed
ing her, fine feed, corn and other
things substantial.
Before weaving, I fed my litter
warm milk and slop, but after wean-
ing | added wheat shorts, corn meal
and other foods of this kind. 1 fed
my sow and litter, morning, noon and
hight. gave my SOW about three
gallons of slop and milk with about
| pound of shorts (fne feed) and
,orn. gave my pigs about the same.
The time gave to my hog was
mostly spent in brushing, petting and
alking to her. At farrowing time she
vas very gentle. She always knew me
rom any of the other members of
# my family, and would come run
ling to meet me with all her little
'igs toddling behind. I have often
old my mother that "Queenie" had
ense. She seemed almost human.
Mr.. Stokes came to see me and 1
old me fl1ow to care for my sow and
-------atrs.sSEeWart- came also.

My dear cousin:
will write you few lines tonight
TO let you hear from ME.
George DeLaughter got your letter
to-day and he was glad to hear from
you. and to know that everybody is
doing all right. He and were sorry
to hear about John moving. Every
thing will change so it wont seem like
home when we get there, and you
don't know how bad we want to get
home once more and l think we will
stay there.
Say, how did Peck like the army?
Tell him 1 was glad to hear he had
been discharged. Tell him to get
France off his mind. We will tell him
about it when we get home.
You asked George if he had been
in battle. You should say he was if
you had been in the place we were.
The morning of November II, the
big shells falling around US, we were
on the Verdun front and we saw a
sight for about twenty-four hours,
but neither one of us got hurt, l am
proud to say.
Don't worry about us for we will
take care of ourselves. Tell Mother
to let me know about Jim. l sent the
allotment a few days ago.
Your loving cousin,
Tom Burnett.

Miss Florence Minis Gives Suf-
frage Views.
Z Boston, Mass,
February 9, 1919.

Dear AlVertiser:
On my way home from church this
morning II felt myself irresistibly
drawn AYard one side of the street.
I lookI up to ascertain the cause
and, saNfo my great pleasure-suf-
frage 5psters.. One had these words
"Indirede influence is a broom, but
the baIl!sTsis vacuum cleaner, which
every &Mnan should have" gazed
with delight. 1t rested my tired eyes,
and I laad between the lines great
possibilities for the future of Amer
lea.
History is repeating itself. Great
things :syer come bylgreat strides.
Slowly,saas though the universe had
ceased live, waiting for the result,
the great measures of the world have
come. Pfohibition, and even the right
of selfsgovernment, which no one
should know better than America,
have been ushered in, not with pomp
and glo4y, heralded by the joy of the
multitudes, but with SO much opposi-
tion that that very opposition caused
the ires5of duty to burn more bright
ly.
The three great attributes Of this
democracy, so called, patriotism, re-
ligion and education have been left
largely in the hands of the women
and especially the mothers of Amer
lea. Whynot place part of the run
ming of@this government, which is
but the result of years Of patriotism,
Of applied religion and learning in
,he hands of the women?
This government is not by the peo-
pie, for the people and of the people,
put government by half the people,
IF half the people for all the people.
Are we not blind?
Why should a man have the ballot

colored soldiers over here say us

We have been expecting to start
for the dear old U. S. A. for some
time but we are still here, for only a
short time now, | know.
Sis, when have you been over home
and how was everybody-also, how
is Stobo? You know l never did
write to him, wes up at the front a
bout the time you gave me his ad-
dress and we were so busy entertain
ing Fritz just about that time till l
really didn't have nluch time for any
thing else. Hope he went through all
right.
l have been in the Hospital since
! October IL, as the result Of trying to
stop some of Fritz's shrapnel, in fact
l did stop a couple of pieces, but it
was very unhealthy job, so l landed
in the Hospital just one month from
the day the big fun ceased. Have just
about recovered now, only little
lame in one of my "hind' legs which
/ hope will not last much longer. Am
sure having a soft time back here
all have to do is eat and sleep (some
lazy, eh?) and go to the movies.
The Red Cross gives us an enter.
tainment of some kind every day, be-
sides lots of other nice things. l don't
know what would have become of u:
had it not been for the Red Cross
and l shall always donate to hell

Well, there is no news much a
round here that would interest yol

home. He tried to phone, and no tele-
phone girl answered-she had gone
home. He started to the elevator. and
no girl was there. He walked down
six flights. His office was in a factory.
He called for his stenographer and
found that she also, had just gone
home. He changed his mind, needless
to say.
There are thousand and one big
questions that need to be settled in
