In these dnys of mental anguish of
those ut homo, who have lost IL loved

great relief that il WAS TO me, par-
clcuiGrly to thosc who hnd sons in

There are other reasons why this
letter should be given wide circuln-
ton, for it shows the wonderful work
That the Red Cross is doing, and to

OF marble. Everywhere is fresh, green
grass, and all the graves are covered
with blooming flowers, chiefly nsters,

The ground is dry and gravclly and
this is carefully overlaid with about

grading and planting is done by n
wonderful organization of your Brit

SOLDIERS LETTERS |
Dads Christmas Letter"

1ohSpy ANONCIlDCl 1O1O.
My Dear Dad:
can't think of any better way of
spending few moments of my time
than lin writing to you. Hope you will
forgive me for waiting so long TO
write, but not knowing just where I
would be the most apt to find you,
and, too, have written mama or
Belle most every day, and in this
way l took it for granted you were
sure to hear just how was getting
along. / am still in the hospital, but
able to go most anywhere l want to;
that is, in the hospital limits. l am
not feeling so well today, think
have caught n cold. have not receiv-
ed letter from anyone in the States
since September LIST, but am hoping
everything is getting along fine On
ly hope this letter will find you all
we'll, and having good time. Of
course there is no use for me to tell
you that l would give most anything
to see you. I have been just the least
bit honlesick for the last week, yet
must admit it is my first time since
have been in France. l am hoping
the day is not far off when l shall
land on some American port. If all
reports are true, it will not be very
long before many of us boys will be
made happy by realizing we are again
in the good old U. S., "The Garden
Spot of the World" have seen quite
bit of France and part of Belgium,
but no place that looked as good to
me as the worst part Of the old U. S.
think God has been wonderfully
good to me. He has blessed me with
good health most of the time. And
He has guided me through dangers
untold. Many times when things look
ed as though each minute was the
last, never gave up hope and He
guided me safely through. am sure
we. have more to be thankful for this
Thanksgiving than we have ever had
in the past.
l guess many of the boys that were
in training in the States have re-
turned to their homes. l sure would
love to get letter from some one in
the States again, and hear just how
things are going. All the news I get
is out of the papers and Of course
you know the papers we get from the
States are from one to wo months old.
Six months ago the 25th Of this
month / boarded one of the largest
ships afloat, and sailed for country
had never seen. But little did l think
then what there was in store for me
in the next six months, yet I never
forgot / had dear father and moth
er back home who were praying to
God for my safe return, and many !
time WHALE l was out in "No Mans |
Land" with shells bursting all around |
ne, / never forgot that there were
many prayers going to God for me
each day, and tried to trust all to
Him. hope the day will soon come
when / can be with you all, and tell
you all.
So l had better close, hoping to see
or hear from you real soon.
May Gods blessing be with you
all.

Food Saved From
Waste By Work
Among Shippers

Washington, Aug. 20-Methods for
preventing the spoilage and loss Of
large quantities Of poultry eggs, fish,
shrimp, and other food products have
been developed by specialists of the
bureau of chemistry, United States
department of agriculture, who have
been Investigating commercial prac-
tices in handling, shipping and stor
ing foodstuffs.
The rapidly increasing cost of all
food products makes it highly neces-
sary to reduce spoilage by every
available means, say the specialists
Much loss of foods due to spoilage
while in transit and in the hands of
dealers can be prevented if correct
methods for packing, shipping, stor-
ing and handling are followed from
the time the foods are produced until
they reach the consumer.
Methods for preventing spoilage are
based upon extensive laboratory stud
les of the habits and methods of
operation Of the minute bacteria,
molds or yeasts which produce spoil
age. There are many varieties Of
these tiny organisms, and each va
riety acts in its own peculiar way
The conditions which permit or pro-
mote the growth of these destruc-
tive enemies as well as the conditions
which retard or entirely prevent
their growth, are learned by extend
ed Investigations
Experiments are made to deter
mine the best ways to apply the prin-
ciple7 of sanitation, sterilization, de-
hydration, and under varying trade
conditions The results of the ex-
periments are then tried out on
commercial scale and the most eff
clent and practical methods adopted.
The improved methods are introduced
into the industry by means of bulle-
tins which give working plans and in
formation regarding them, and
through the personal assistance of
technical specialists who are sent to

ARTICLE X,

Article X Of the covenant Of
the League Of Nations has been
the subject of a vast amount Of
controversy 1t has been debated
in and out Of the senate and has
been variously interpreted In
the light of the differences of
opinion that have been expressed,
it is interesting and important to
get President Wilson's own
explanation Of its meaning. In
his statement at ,he opening Of
his conference with the members
of the senate committee on for
eign relations, Mr.. Wilson gave
the following Interpretation of
the rtiele:
Article X is in no respect of
doubtful meaning when read in
the light of the covenant as
whole. The council of the league
can only advise upon the means
by which the obligations of that
great article are to be given eff
feet unless the United States is a
party to the policy or action in
question, her own affirmative
in the council is necessary before
any advice can be given. for
unanimous vote of the council is
required. If she is a party. the
trouble is hers anyhow, and the
unanimous vote Of the council is
only advice in any case. Each
government is free to reject if it
pleases. Nothing could have been
made more clear to the confer
cnce than the right of our con
gress under our constitution, t.
exercise its independent agree
ment in all matters Of peace and
war. No attempt was made to
question or limit that right. The
United States viii, indeed. under
take under Article X to respect
and preserve as against external
aggression the territorial integri-
ty and existing political inde-

pendence of all members Of the
league, and that engagement CON
stitutes a very grave and solemn
obligation, and leaves our con
gress absolutely free to put IFS
own Interpretation upon it in all
cases that call for action. 1t is
binding in conscience only, not
in law.
Article X seems to me to con-
stitute the very backbone Of the
whole covenant. Without it the
league would be hardly more
than an influential, debating so
ciety."

You may learn something from the

THE PARK MOVEMENT is
STARTING RIGHT.

In taking the entire community
into their confidence by organz-
ing central committee to formu-
late plans and make recommenda-
tions, the public utilities commit
tee Of the Chamber of Commerce
is making the right sort OF start
toward establishing park sys-
TEN in Chickasha. Under the plan
adopted there is to be the freest
exchange Of opinions, the purpose
apparently being to call all the
elements of our citizenry INTO
consultation to the end that all
conflicting views may be recon
ciled and correct conclusions
reached,
There seems to be a growing
sentiment that the time has come
for Chickasha to take a decided
stand on the park question and
the Chamber Of Commerce com
mittee in charge of the matter IS
checking it up to the people IN
manner which must command ap-
proval. In spite of the newt
able diversity Of views that must
exist among the members OF the
central committee that is to be
formed we believe it will be pos
sible, through frank conference,
to arrive at an understanding
which will be acceptable to the
majority of the people.
1t should be realized that the
park movement is matter of in
terest to every member of the
community. Every man, wom-
an and child in Chickasha should /
feel that he is a partner in the
enterprise which is being under
taken because all will share in
the benefits of it. Selfish inter
ests should be relegated to the
background in the consideration
of all issues which may arise, the
sole effort being to reach conclu-
sions which will be line with the
common good If we tackle the
proposition in this spirit, there is
no question that we shall succeed
in establishin ga park system that
will be the pride of the city and
will minister to the comfort and
happiness Of every resident
