letter from her son which reads as
follows:
Tours. France, May II, 1919.
Dear Mother: have just eaten din
ner and will write few lines. You
will see by my address that am in a
different location. l have been here
just a week today There We're $50 of
us transferred from Base Hospital No.
81 to this place. We are about $50
miles southwest from where we were.
Many of us were listed as stretcher
patients, so on Friday morning. May 2,
was taken on a stretcher from the
hospital down to a Red Cross train.
A Red Cross train consists of cars
somewhat like our sleepers in the
states. Railroad transportation is very
poor in France, SO we stood on the
track all day and finally pulled out
about p. m. We rode all night, all
day Saturday, and finally reached our
destination about l a. N. Sunday.
AS soon as it was daylight we were
unloaded and brought here to the hos
pital. like the place real well so far.
The buildings are just one story and
thrown together in hurry. They
were built by the United States for
hospital use only. There are many
shade trees and it seems to be quite
pretty. The nurses here are awful
good to us and do so much just for our
pleasure Our head nurse brought
carnations and gave us one this morn
ing. think they are planning on max
ing ice cream this afternoon. The Red
Cross served us ice cream last Sunday,

fine. Everything here is nice and
green and the birds are singing all

A North Freedom man in Baraboo
was telling of an exciting race be-
tween two cars some time ago, me
owners fell into a wager as to when
one could reach Baraboo first and
away then went. The larger car
trailed along behind the smaller one,
lust to let the driver feel good. 1t was
understood if the one in the rear gave
a honk the one in the lead was to give
half the road in, order for the trailing
car to pass if it could. When the foot
Of the terminal moraine was reached
at the Seaman place about mile west
of town, the big machine filled the air
with noise and the two tore UP the
hill with every cylinder doing us

car take the dust and since then there
has been no argument between the
