ONLY MADE MATTERS WORSE
Small Girls Efforts to "Fudge" on Un-
fortunate Remark Could Not Be
Called Successful.

A number of women were discussing
Liberty bonds ope afternoon in neigh
boris house. Almost unnoticed little
neighbor girl had entered. At this
point in the discussion she exclaimed:
"Well, my aunt says she might just
as we'll buy Liberty bond as to be
taxed ~
+ Her remark caused a good bit Of
comment. One guest, who has son In
the service, became very indignant,
and exclaimed:
"The ideal Buying bond to es-
cape taxation! That's patriotism for
you! That makes me tired-anybody
as able as she is to buy bonds, or any
thing"
With that last remark the speaker
..flew" out Of the house.
The little girl, beholding the strife
and bad feeling she had stirred up,
tried to fudge" on,>her remark, ex-
planning that 1t wasn't her aunt who
made the remark, but some other wom-
an. The neighbor women held her to
her first remark, and were making 1t
pretty swarm" for the little girl, when
she finally burst out with:
"Well, you don't know how much 1t
costs my aunt to live; and how much
it's costs her to take that trip to MI
agara Falls!"
The laugh with which the women
greeted this innocent remark was suf-
fcient to send the loyal and innocent
girl running from the room. Truly, her

Richmond, May 12.-Chairman IL.

from the war department at Washing

2sth divisions are still at Brest and
have not yet embarked on tie trans
ports which are assembling at the
French port to take the troops nomc.
ITnconfrmed rumors were heard t.
the effect that the two. divisions
would reach Newport News this week
and it was to dispel these reports
that Mr.. Ellison secured the lnforma

Mr.. Ellison has learned from thS
war department that the plans OF
Richmond to entertain the returning
soldiers have met with full approval
It is said that in certain other states
no provision was made for the well
fare of the soldiers on the occasion OF
the big parades held there. The Rich

their comfort and pleasure have the
chief consideration is highly crafty

Little Profit In Salt.

A recent investigation by the bu-
reau of mines proves that a salt fam
inc in the United States Is unlikely,
says the Popular Science Monthly. At
the same time it was established that
owing to the low price Of salt and the
abundance of its supply there Is but
little profit in the salt Industry, al
though the American salt works have
supplied In recent years practically
all the salt consumed in the United
States. What a pity-for the prof.
teers-salt is not used in munitionsl

st. Afghan, France April 9.

Dear Aunt and Uncle:
You will no doubt be surprised to
hear from me after so long time,
but better late than never suppose,
SO here come at last, although ! am
a very poor hand for writing letters
which you will know doubt realize
after reading this one. will first
try and tell you little about my ex-
perience since I've been in France.
| was expecting to see beautiful
country over here, but was somewhat
disappointed in some respects along
that line, although I haven't seen
great lot of France, but am speaking
of what have seen.
This certainly is a great country
for rain; during the winter it rains
great lot of the time, and you can
imagine how huch mud we have.
But we have had so much mud that
we don't mind it any more at all.
Believe me when bunch Of US
doughboys get together we can splash
some of it too.
l have been in nine or ten differ
ent camps. Some times we didn't
have a very pleasant place to sleep,
lying on the wet ground. But we
were always satisfied with what we
got and thought ourselves lucky by
not being in the front line trenches,
suffering the hardships that hum
dreds of our boys did. :
My company, which was the LOT
Prov. Co. was broken up soon after
the II Div. started home.
We thought for some time we were
going to return to the good old U. s..
A. with them, but when the time
came for their homeward trip we
were disappointed by being left be-
hind. So then all of US old farmers
were picked out and transferred to
Hdqr's Co. where I have been ever
since. The rest of the company was
scattered in a similar manner. l am
in camp at present which is known
as the Classification camp, First Repl
Div, ST.. Afghan.
This is quite large camp, when l
! first landed here, which was the 3Oth
of March, there were something like
10000 soldiers here.
At this time there are about TO-
900; there is lots going out every
day either to the States or their Div,
and in the meantime they are also
coming in filling up the place Of the
ones that have gone out. So us fell
lows in H. @. Co. can't tell when our
time will come, as the Hdqr.'s Co., is
doing work that must be done as long
as there are soldiers in France. But
nevertheless we are not worrying,
for we feel sure we will get to
spend next Xmas in the U. S. A. If
live and keep our health.
I guess there are lots Of soldiers at
home from France by this time. !
haven't had any mail from the States
for over a month; don't know if my
friends don't write to me or whether

get home soon. I got hold of the

come to close and tell you more
when I get back. ...
