Paris, june 2. 1919.

Paris, June 2, 1913.
Dear Folks:---Will drop you a few
lines this evening TO let you know
how am getting along, also to tell
you something about the trip took
yesterday. A dozen or so Nor US
boys went up to the front. We left
camp at five in the morning, goins
to Paris where we took an express
train to Rheims, 100 miles northeast
of Paris. Went through Chateau
Thierry, both going and coming but
didn't stop. Reached Rheims at
noon, stayed till four looking over
what was for four years one OF the
greatest battle grounds of France.
Before the war Rheims had as
mary peop', as Des MONIES, the
houses being built Of stone and
brick like most of the other cities
over here. 1t certainly as dismal
sight now, being nothing but mass
of ruins 1t looks horrible. No
one lives there now and 1t looks Just
like the way 1t was left when the
Germans retreated. The old Hin
denberg line is out four or five miles
northeast OF the city In what was at
one time a beautiful region but is
now only a deserat of desoiation
Between Rheims and this line
there are miles of barbed wire en-
bitches and shell holes.
The old line itself is miserable
looking place, being big ditch z to
IL feet deep with caves and dug
outs. On both sides are wire en-
tanglements stretching out in all d.
rections / believe saw enough
old barbed wire between Rheims and
this line to fence the state of Iowa.
1t is so thick in some places that a
person can't walk through 1t The
grass and big blue peoples are grow
ing all over the old battle ground
and even in the old Hindenrerg line
itself
There are still old ammunition.
shells. etc, laying around and also
some tanks I got a German shelf
and French shell and am sending
them home today That was the
first time was ever up there and do
not want to go any more as II looks
too dismal There are many towns
between Rheims and Chateau Thier-
ry all or Sartly mas or ruins

DIR. r. f. CHILDs

Was perhaps the earliest riser
Audubon Tuesday morning. any
how the was the busiest man at an
early hour, for he was using the nose
saturating the Frick building, side
walks and pavements about the
store with good shower OF water SO
as to try and keep the surroundings
cool during the intense heat or the
day. This was indeed wise stunt
on the part of the doctor ana also a
hint that the city sprinkler is need
ed very badly at this season OF the
year. DOC" gave US little
sprinkling but we did Eot mind it in
the least.

TWO GOOD FARM SALES

Willis Jensen, living near Extra
sold his farm this week to Orvie
Young for the snug sum Of $3.50 per
acre and yesterday John Lovelace
sold his 80 acre farm four miles
north of Audubon at $500 per acre
to Clayton Wickham of Audubon.
The purchasers are said to be land
crazy for paying such high prices for
farm land at this time. But IN a few
more years when they are able to
sell the same farms for $500 to 500
per acre, they will not be thought
to be so far of in their good judg-
ment. H

EARLY DEATH OF
fine YOUNG MAN
FRANK LAW CALLED TO HIS
HEAVENLY HOME EARLY
AtAW LAST THURSDAY

Sorrow entered the nome or Mr..
and Mrs. Thomas Law and children
of Melville township when occurred
the death of their son and brother,
Frank Law at 900 o'clock THURSDAY
morning, June 10, 1919, after a
lingering illness of three years.
Frank Law, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Thomas Law, was born May 4, 1904
and died June 10, 1919, aged 10
years, one month and Is days. He
had been sufferer from diabetes for
about three years which was the
cause of his death. The last time
he went to church was only a few
weeks ago when he came to the church
of his father and mother and that
IL his own choice, thus showing his
manly spirit and also respect 70 his
parents. We well remember how he
seemed to drink in every word Of the
sermon and service. Would that
we had more children with such
love and respect for their parents.
Frank was good boy. but good as
he was, he felt that his own good
ness would not save him without a
personal realization of Jesus Christ
as his Saviour. Thus he had his
father pray for him and with him
and soon after called Rev. Lang for
further instruction and received the
Christian baptism. 1t 10 sad TO nave
death come so soon and take away
this young life, but this is the ine-
vitable to which all must succumD
sooner or later. May we all be ready
when the Master calls because death
comes sometimes when least ex-
pected.
Frank leaves to mourn his early
departure, his parents. six brothers
and one sister, one brother having
preceded him in death.
May God comfort the bereaved,
Not now but in the coming years,
It may be in the better land.
Well read the meaning Of our tears,
And there sometime We'll under
stand.
Then trust in God through all thy
days,
Fear not for he doth hold thy hand,
Though dark the way still sing and
praise,
Sometime, sometime Wen under
stand. A
Funeral services were held at the
home aud at the Evangelical church
in Audubon Saturday afternoon at
two o'clock, Rev. Lang, pastor Of
ficiating. The song service was in
charge of Miss Goldie Sheets. Misses
Florence and Olive Kopp, J. w. Lam
drum and s. Weaver.
A last tribute was paid the de-
ceased by the many floral offerings
and by the large number OF relatives
and friends who attended the funeral
services, filling the ediflce to over
flowing, many having to stand at the
entrance Of the church and outside,
expressing the warm sympathy Of all
in this sad hour.
After the service the large funeral
cortege followed the remains to their
last earthly resting place In Maple
Grove cemetery. there to await until
judgment day the meeting of his low
ed ones. --'---rss 'S~sg
