LETTERS FROM OUR
SOLDIER BOYS
Letter From Lawrence Kunkel.

Mr. and Mrs. E. F. Kunkel are in
receipt of the following interesting let
ter from their son, Lawrence Kunkel,
who is located at Comercy, France:
Dear Dad and Family
Comerey, France, Feb. 4th, 1910
Just a few lines TO let you know l am
still we'll and all o. K, even if this is
my birthday. l thought 1 might be
able to be home by now but guess I'll
have to put it off for a few weeks, hut
it las ben officially announced that
we were ordered home and expect to be
in Camp Funston by the last of March,
so YOU can guess how we feel. By the
way, l have been here at Divisional H.
O., lately with my ambulance and
was going to breakfast this morning
when whom did l run on to but Earl
Luckey, and l was certainly surprised
to see him. He and l had quite a talk.
He is at the IR Q. place also. He was
telling me that Orlando Worrell was
BAG kin the States, I wandered what
became of him, / use to see him real
often but after the Argonne Battle l
lest track of him. / use to laugh at
him when he had to hike so much and
I was riding around in an Ambulance,
but l guess he is giving me the laugh
now, but nc wont long.
I told you about running across Roy
Creasey, l haven't seen him anymore.
A fellow on an Ambulance sure gets
to run around lots, in fact that's all he
does do but he don't have much time
to look for anybody.
Well l think I had better close now
So wishing you would give my best
regards to all, I will close.
Remaining as ever,
Your son,
LAWRENCE KUNKEL.

"Once in a while" says The Fayette
Advertiser, "you will find a farmer
who is game enough to try something
that his father would have said was i'm
possible. This was the case with
three young farmers in Holt County.
Last year they planted jointly 40 acres
of popcorn. AS everybody knows, last
year was a bad year for small grains.
However, the 40 acres produced some
thing over 400 bushels. 1t was sold
to a seed company in Sherman, Tex,
and brought $2,072.

Paris, January 90, 1919.
Dear Sir and Benefactor:
|, myself am going to acknow-
ledge the receipt of the money orders
which you are sending to my little
boy, Raymond Flutaz. l thank you
very heartily for your generosity, and
for your willingness to interest your
self in a poor little war orphan,
which touches me still more. Be-
lieve me, dear sir, that small sum
will be welcome each time and will
help me to endure in some measure
the pressure of the present high cost
of living, which is rather hard for a
woman alone.
My son joins me in thanking YOU
also. He is not yet very large, being
only sever years old. He has Just
been very i'll; | was obliged to send
him to the country for his health,
but he will return to Paris shortly.
Then he, too, will write to his bene-
in order to express all his
gratitude for your kindness. At the
time l will send you a photo
graph Of your small protege. You
will be c~onsiderate enough, dear sir,
pardon this slight delay.
Meanwhile, please accept, together
with all my gratitude, my profound
est respect.

too sensible and too decent to refuse

And because this treaty with all its

because the League of Nations en-

Strike Situation
AT The Klondyke Remains
Unchanged. Injunction
Being Heard Today.

There is practically no change in the
situation of the strike at the Hamilton
Machine Tool company's plant where
the machinists have been out several
weeks. None of the men have re-
turned to work and several of those
who had taken jobs in the plant
upon learning of the true conditions
have quit.
The temporary restraining order
granted by the local courts against
the union men is being heard today
before Judges Murphy and Harlan in
the common pleas court 1t is con
fidently expected by the machinists
involved that the order will be va
Gated as they hold that none of the
charges contained in the petition of
the company are true. They say that
they have conducted this strike in an
orderly and peacable manner and that
the firm was not justified in it's claims
against them.

Union
HOLDS BIG MEETIN G
AND INITIATES MANY.

The machinists union held another
big meeting Wednesday night. AL
though it was very hot night the
hall was packed. Much routine bus
mess was transacted. One of the
largest classes of candidates that has
been initiated in the organization for
some time was taken in at this meet
ing. A great many new applications
were also read.
After the signing of the armistice
and cancellation of government con-
tracts many machinists were thrown
out of work and some who had taken
up other work dropped their member
ship in the union. Many of these are
now going back to work at their trade
and in order to tighten their burden
the local organization has reduced the
fee of reinstatement from SIS co TO
$3.50. This reduction runs till Labor
Day
And the applications are pouring IN.
The machinists say that while they
made big showing in the Labor Day
parade last year, watch them this
year. The machinists are working to
have 1900 men in line.
