Edgar H. Storm, Spencer boy, who
has been serving his country in the
world war, and who at the time he
wrote was with Co. c., 125th Inf.
32d Div. at Neidersteinebach, Ger
many. We herewith reproduce the
letter, which will be read with inter
est by his many Medina county
friends: S
Neidersteinebach, Germany
j February rs, 1919
Dear Friends:
| / will write you few lines
to let you folks back in the states
know / am well and have had the
best of health since I have been in
the army.
I was transferred from the seth
Div, Co. L, October II, 1918, to the
32d Div, Co. C, 125 Inf. This divis-
ion is from Michigan and is good
one.
When we first landed in France it
was pretty hot weather. I did not
like it. The girls all wear wooden
shoes and it looked funny to us. Girls
are better looking in Germany than
they are in France, but they have got
nothing on the girls back in the states.
There were 107 Of us boys who left
Medina county, May 81, 1918, and
there are only two of us together now,
and they are Carl Hoffman and Edgar
H. Storm. We have been together
all the time and I hope we will come
home together; and I guess we will
if the gang plank don't break when
we unload on the other side.
We started on our march Novem-
ber II, 1918, and came into Germany
December /, 1918, crossing the Rhine
rives December 13, 1918, at 11:45 a.
m. That was some day and it rained
all day. We wore our overcoats and
carried our packs, guns, belts, gas
masks and helmets, and an extra pair
Of shoes-everything complete, weigh
ing 85 pounds.
Our march was 250 miles. and we
made it in IA days, all by foot. We
surely were glad when we struck
Neiderstenebach, Germany. We are
80 kilometers across the Rhine river.
The weather over here has been
good all winter. We have had only
one inch of snow this winter. It is
just like spring now and ] hope the
weather stays like this, for l heard
last evening we would be here until
the first of May, but I hope it is no
longer. We have a good place to
sleep and all we can eat, but I miss
mothers pies and cakes. I haven't
had any Of them for some time. I
have seen no place I liked better than
my home town, and that is Spencer,
Ohio. n
will close for this time. Good
bye to all and best wishes. The
army is all right, but it is no place
for minister's son.
Yours very truly,
Pvt. Edgar H. Storm,

TOWNSHIP TRUSTEES
~ ARE A FOOT BALL

Under the above caption, Macadam
Service, a magazine devoted to the
good road interests, has the following
to say, regarding township trustees,
which is especially pertinent at this
time in that it applies quite generally
to conditions as they exist in Medina
county:
At the Ohio state capitol, township
trustees are kicked about, much as
a foot ball. The charge is made that
the average trustee is lacking in abili-
ty, to transact public business and is
neglectful of the duties Of his Office.
Also that he does not inform himself
as to his duty and authority under the
law. The smooth agent who wants
to sell high-cost road material for
40-thousand dollar mile road has no
use for Trustees. The politician who
wants to make big profits on road
building, looks upon township trustees
as incompetent and tight-wads. In
less trustees do take hold Of road
building, public sentiment will soon
justify the legislature in doing away
with the Office. Trustees earn more
scolding and criticism by not taking
care of roads under their charge than
they get for any other reason. Too
many follow the rut. They want to
do the same as all trustees did before
them. This is their biggest mistake.
They have the power and the ability
to build good road at half the cost
that many roads are built for. If
they can do this, it is the more
reason why they should get busy and
build and take care of roads. They
must be useful or some day 60 into
the discard. They should win ap-
plause by doing things. Do not be
afraid to levy an township tax. The
chances are that a trustee will come
as near giving you value received for
your tax dollar as any other public
officer. Make him do it. Nobody
ever made a barrel of profit on roads
built by township trustees.

the restrictions that were so drastic
during the war have all been removed,
and as a result the variety of colors
and styles that are accepted consoli-
date into the widest diversity of
modes that will be accepted as good
taste.

Evening Gowns Are Short
The majority of evening gowns are
quite short, even though tight. U.s.
ually the abbreviated skirt continues
in long wasp-like train and the eff
feet is most appealing and highly ar
tistic. One of the most striking
gowns that was seen at an affair at
one of the leading hotels this week
was developed in black crepe and the
extreme decolette was edged with
shining ostrich trimming. Two plumes
applied at an audacious angle formed
hustle effect at the back. Another
equally chic bunch was placed at the
front. Striking indeed is this crea-
tion, for the severity of line accentu-
ates its extreme look.

one particularly attractive model and
drips from this frock of green taf-

and entire tulle dresses are made
after these lines. Very little jewelry
is being worn, for women now depend
on their gowns and personality to look
charming for the evening. Pearls,
however, have not been forsaken and

Imported Silks
France has again returned to the

Death Rate Jumped.
AS cancer is most prevalent in per-
sons over the military age, the proper
ton of deaths from this cause natur-
ally jumped, where the proportion Of
men of younger ages was reduced.
In this country, likewise, the records
were found to show that cancer was
most prevalent In Vermont and least
so In Utah and Montana, but this was
explained as being due to the fact
that large percentage Of the youth
OF Vermont had migrated and that a
larger proportion of the population In
the western states was composed of
newcomers, generally young men and
women.
Among countries, cancer mortality
was greater in Switzerland, and was
highest generally where the highest
civilization was found. Doctor Wood
supposes this to be due, nst TO anv
connection between cancer and a high
state of civilization. but to the fact
that cancer Is less often diagnosed
and reported as the cause of death In
countries like Russia.

The ball stopped and settled In one

Thousands of mice which had been

breathe very rapidly and are far more
sensitive to gases than human beings,
so that they were kept in exposed sec

their behavior would indicate the com

announced that mice had been sent
