suppose you will be IL little sur
priScd to get Il letter from me. but |
feel 1T my duty to write you and your
family concerning your son William $
death.
Now, let me say at the first who
am. If you remember, when you
came to Camp Jackson to see Will
nam, you rode with me in an automo
bile from near the car line to my
company. Then you started over to
the base hospital to see William, but
he was at the company. DO you not
remember mc--.Ioseph Powell:
William and came to Camp Jack
son the same day, together, and we
were together ever since until his
unfortunate death. We we're i'm the
same company.
Now. about his death and burial.
IN explain as best | can. William
was helping to carry back the
woundcd--four men carrying the
Strctchcr.-w when a shell made Il di-
rect hit and killed the wounded man
and the four Strctchcrbcarers. vii
liam was one of these lie was not
manglcd, but died Immediately.
Now. about the place OF his burial.
| do not know. but if you have not
;lr"ady gotten his service record. you
will get it, and that will show the
place whore his body rests.
William was Il splendid friend of
mine. lie and chummcd together.
He died a free soldier. and for good
cause. so we cannot question God s
providence. God knows best for His
childrcn---and may lie, in Ills Al
mighty wisdom. console all Of you. |
truly thank Him for what He has
done for ne.
If you would like for ne TO do so,
when get home, will try to come
mp and have Il good, long talk with
you concerning my friend William. |
would be delighted to hear from you
or any OF your family at any time.
My mothers address Is Mrs. Jacob
| Powell, Alcolu. S. c.
With best wishes to you and your
family. Sincerely yours.

Letter from C.. f. Beck, i'm Kansas.

Abikence, Kansas, June %, 1919
"Since / wrote to you before we
have travelled quite distance. Iowa
is not much of a wheat country, but
more Tor corn and oats. The wet
weather held the farmers back IN
planting so the corn was very snort
when we were there June 10. Weeds
are growing faster than the corn
The roads were something awful, had
no bottom to them. saw autos
stuck in the mud. You could not go
ont after a rain with machine
where there was low place or
where water crossed the road you
would sink in to the axle. Then IL
was not only soft in the bottom but
all of the mud tried to stick to the
wheels like snow does in winter and
if you stepped in the mud it tried to
claim your shoes, especially rubbers.
We left Ottumwa for Kansas ~lty
over the Milwaukee r. R., ESQ ml10s
and passed quite number of coal
mines. This country is mostly pas
ture lands, plenty of pasture OF 32O
acres, some as much as a whole sec
ton. GAO acres. Saw large herds OF
cattle and nearly every place we
stopped were cattle pens and loading
places. Whole wheat fields drowned
out from excessive rain and some flood
ed crossed the Missouri River, Lear
Kansas City. 1t was nearly bank
full. Kansas City is a fine city OF
100000 inhabitants On the Missouri
side and 10000 on the Kansas side.
I spent several days with friends
there then took the Union Pacific for
Abilene, 1913 miles west. There is
where you see the wheat fields.
There are thousands of acres but
there will not be the crop that was
expected. l saw field after field that
will not make two bushels to the
acre, in fact, there is quite lot that
will not be cut at all. My cousin, OF
Garon, has 40 acres he will not cut.
He will burn it off later. One man
offered me 100 acres if I would cut it
and give the landlord his share. The
cause of the failure is the hot weather,
which followed the excessive rains.
The mercury has been SO to 1O6 in
the shade for several days. All fiat
ground wheat was very rank and
promised to be bumper crop had
the conditions been favorable, but ow-
ing to so much rain lots of it went
down and did not fill. Higher ground
did not suffer so much. People tell
me here the average crop will be
about y or IS bushels. Saw fields
which had from so to 800 acres Of
wheat in corn and looks pretty good
now. They had big crop of alfalfa.

REDUCE GOVERNMENT EXPENSES

Thrift, like charity, begins at home.
Many of the federal publications are
filled with cautions against waste.
The people are told that Americans
constitute the most extravagant ma
ton on earth. They are warned that
they must save if they would be
saved. Both political parties are Eiy-
ing out sound advice Of this kind
sufficiently far in advance of Novem-
Der, 1920, to allay any suspicion OF
purely political motive. The Republi-
cans controlling Congress are saying
q great deal about the reforms <aey
purpose to establish to soon reduce
the expenditures which have been
necessary in carrying on the war
The Democrats in charge of the ex'
ecutive departments promise curtail-
ment of their disbursements. The
people who pay the bills, pinched by
taxes, want the federal expenses cut
to the bone and are watchfully wait
ing for some evidence of good faith
on the part of at least one of the hik
controlling parties.
This assurance should be given at
once. There should be early adjust
ment of appropriations to changed
conditions and immediate reduction OF
the swollen stats of the several de-
partments still carried on the pay
rolls. The published reductions OF
the army of civilian assistants are
misleading. In almost every case as
many new names are added as are
reported dropped. A visit to the de-
partments at Washington will dis
close an evident surplus of help.
There is surplusage of idle clerks
and messengers and other employees.
This applies to all departments whose
forces were increased by war demands
to which the people cheerfully agreed.
To name any particular department
as SO offending in measure would
be to excu1pate others equally over
manned. Practically all those that
make pretense to an effort to return
to peace footing are hanging onto
their emergency quota of help. The
favorite method is the fiamboyant dis
bandment of war bureau or division
for which excuse has totally disap-
peared, only to continue it in the de-
partment with "a few additional
clerks Abandonment or true ANAL
gamation Of these now unnecessary
activities is exceedingly rare
On the whole, the alleged reduction
of the force of war workers" is a
joke in Washington 1t bids fair to
become scandal in the nation. rhe
place for governmental thrift and re
form to begin is at the national capt.
tai. 1t is badly needed there.-New

In sad but loving remembrance of my dear HUI
band Isaiah Stair. who departed this life July
1916, years ago. am ever thinking OF you.
cannot forget you dear husband.
Though long may seem the years.
And often in the lonely hours
wipe away the tears.
often sit and think of you
When am all alone;
cannot understand why we must part
From those we love so dear.
But God who doeth all things well,
Will some day make it clear.
Home is sad; Oh. God how sad.
Lonesome and lonely nobody knows,
Sometimes | think hear his sweet voice
Saying, come and go with me.
Death has robbed me of my dear husband,
Whom is loved so dear;
Lonesome and lonely nobody knows
God knows that cannot help but shed tear.
By his Wife S. c. Stair.
/ never shall forget him
While in this world / stay;
know that he will meet me,
When God calls me away.
Heaven retaineth now my treasure.
Earth alone his Casket keeps,
And the sunbeams love to linger
Where my dearest father sleeps.

LETTER FROM FRANCE.

The following letter was received
by Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Haifiey, of
Frizellburg, from their son, Raymond,
in France:
st. Sulpice, France,
June Is, 1919.
Dear Father, Mother and All:-This
is letter | hate to write, but it is
no use keeping anything from you.
| just got through Sunday inspection
and after inspection the Captain OF
rather the Sergeant read off Iii
names of my company who have been
transferred to quarter master At
large, and | am one of them. The
balance Of the company who have
dependents or for some other reason
are going home this week. SO If you
see in the paper that the 331th Supply
Company is coming home, don't ex-
/ pect me- I really don't think | will
get home now before September or
October. There will be about 1000
men left in camp, 500 of which are
@. M. G.. The rest all leave this week.
We are caretakers of the warehouses,
or rather the Army Service Corps.
We will have all civilian labor and
there will be Americans to attend to
| the business part. Enclosed you Will
I find a recommendation which my
captain signed for we will be the last
ones home and people will think we
are under punishment or in veneral
camp as there is one here which has
about 600 men in at present. l think
/ all prisoners will be sent home tbs
week under a few guard companies
! A nice way to come home, don't you
think? So if anybody says anything,
you have something to show them.
We are having a big dinner today for
| the last time with my company. l
think we will get fairly good treat
ment after we move to @. M. c. head
| quarters. | also hear we are getting
spring beds. l received two letters
last evening, of May 80 and June 2,
also got the paper I am always
glad for news. Mother was speaking
of Iocusts, l have not seen or heard
one here. I will miss locust year.
Please do not worry. I sometimes
think | ought to keep such things
from you as you might worry. I am
feeling fine and am not the least bit
worried as I like Army life although
at times we get tough eats and have
it a little rough but on "a general run
we are all going through the time of
our life. Another thing want to say
is don't forget to address my mail
like this for if you address it the
other way it will be held in New
York, as the 331th Supply Company
is scheduled to sail this week. Papa
wish you could see all the big guns
and wagons and anything at all here.
The guns cover acres Of land. You
could spend week here and would
not see all Everything from all over
France is coming here and to another
camp in the North. 1t is kept and
sold to different governments. Well
1 will close for this time. Please
look at the bright side of life for |
might be home sooner than l said,
you never can tell. Good bye. Love
to you all"
