Letter from Frank stanton

Mrs Brown permits The Times to
use part Of letter written her by
Frank Stanton. from Washington, D.
c., under date of Sept. 25th:
~ was surely pleased to read the
news of Oakes again., Today, Thurs
day, had the chance to come to
Washington. I've spent most Of the
afternoon with Frank Hammond at
the Walter Reed Hospital. r.
"Believe me, the people of Oakes
certainly have reason to be proud OF
Frank Hammond l liked him the
very first moment saw him, which
was today at 2 p m. We had long
talk about all the good people of
Oakes. We didn't have much, to say
about those that aren't so good be-
cause we didn't have any of that kind
to talk about. Bless 'em, all the peo-
pie of Oa1kes, are all right! He showed
me the picture of Main street on
July 4th this year, and Oscar Swan
son racing a motorcycle on the road
east of town right past the same old
ten acres I tried to farm. Then there
was Pete White with his usual good
natured grin looking thoroughly sea-
going. We talked about a lot of peo-
pie and lot of different things. I
believe it did us both good.
Crank is recovering very nicely.
and in bed so long. but he looks
healthy otherwise. He was studying
algebra when went in. He has lost
his right leg at the knee Joint and
the muscles of his left at the thigh
are partly gone. The gangrene in
fection which almost killed him is
still being treated with Dakin's So
luton and he had another operation
or two to- get through with-he has
had four already. He says he will
be satisfied if he is out of the hos
pital within a year. Then he intends
to go back to Oakes as an electrical
repair man. He told me all about
buying the garage and having to sell
it again. Now if there is anyone de-
serving good job and the best. Of
everything that one is Frank Ham!
mond. He laid in No Mans Land
for two days with neither food nor
drinking water and 1t rained all the
time. He twisted pieces Of clothing
about his waist to stop the blood
In those two days gangrene poisoning
developed. The fact that he is alive
today is due to the skill of modern
surgery and his own will to live. And
now he is studying algebra and psy.
chology. guess he helped win the
war all right. -

ican who so nobly served his. coun-
try. and his people" One of the great
objects to be achieved in this cam

Spirit of American youth the Roose-

luton advanced vas that at least ten
captains be named to secure ten mem
each to march over the line of march.
The Rev. w. j.. r. Edgar pastor OF
the Presbyterian church, advocated
the thought that if the weather is
stormy the program should be car
ried out in the Star theatre and a
known signal arranged in order that
all would know just what to do in
case of storm. He also said IL rain
prevails the decoration of the graves
should go on and that the audience
in the theatre building should at a
given signal stand in honor of the
event taking place. If the parade is
to be postponed until a later hour
the ringing of the frebell at noon
should give sufficient warning to the
citizens and children.

opinion that any society wishing TO

All aboard for Niagara Falls.
1 settled down in the amorous rcd
plush of the Pullman seat prepared
to enjoy some secondhand thrills TINT
/ confide ltiy expected would be pro-
duced by the Darbys n Josns who
would presently board h train.
AS 1t turned out L shared a heart
ache with a poor little bride instead
of ectasy.
The first pair of turtle doves took
their seat just opposite me.
And then In trooped a flock OF Ewes
with the Adams conspicuously absent.
I'VE are girls from the railroad adj
ministration, and we don't have to
wait until our honeymoon to see Nj
agara Falls" they announced.
1--WE a get a pass to so any where
we please about every two IL
we stand well with our boss. Most
all of US want to see Niagara Falls
first"
Guggling, humming and now and
then emitting snorts of laughter. the
girls took charge of the train. Know
ing full well they were the cynosurc
of all male eyes on the train they
preened and powdered surreptitiously
and there was much dashing back and
forth to the dressing room to be sure
hat every eyelash was in place.
The only disgruntled persons on
board were the porter, the solitary
bride and a Republican.
The bride was simply overwhelmed.
1t seemed to her hat her whole a
ried life had gone to smash on this
very first lap of her honeymoon. She
had not counted on such sitting COM
competition. She had dreamed that
those beautiful brown eyes of her
newly made hubby's would be simply
glued to her blushing face. AS 1t was
she soon discovered that hubby had a
large supply OF Eyes for these other
girls. and her tears mingled and
dripped with the rice.
As for the porter, all the burdens
of making ends meet in the railroad
world appeared to rest on his shout
ders.
1.-THE railroads shu' amt gwine to
make no money this yhere trip. No
wonder they is a defikit reported. Free
freight like this boa'ds this train most
