distinguished service he was rec-s
commended by the proper au-
thorities for the appointment and
his credentials were forwarded
to the department at Washington.
After a lapse of about three years
the commission was finally sign
ed and sent to him, having been
forwarded from place to place as
he has changed his address. The

Chas. Whipple of Snowflake
was thrown from a wagon by a
runaway team last Friday morn
ing as he was driving into town.
The team evidently became
frightened by passing automobile
and dashed up the street and
finally ran into the fence and
stopt. Mr.. Whipple was picked
up by passers-by in an uncon-
scious condition and carried to
the Brunswick hotel. He has
only regained semi-consciousness
since and his case is considered
very serious as his skull is badly
fractured. His family have been
summoned and are in attendance
at his bedside.

SOLDIERS LETTERS

by Mr.. and Mrs. J. e. Jones from

LaHavre, France, Feb. rs, 1918
My dear mother:
arrived here last evening about
900 p. m.
| OF course you would no doubt
like very much to hear about my
short visit in Paris so I'll try to
give it to you in detail. 1t was about
like this:
Arriving at the st. Lazare station
in Paris at p. M, Corporal Farrell
and myself began to do our prelim-
inaries such as registration at the
R. T. o. and the Provost Marshal
to receive our pass and greater than
all to find dinner, this however, was
very easily handled at the Red Cross
canteen at the station. The next
thing on the program was to find a
room. This too, was managed at a
Froggy. hotel somewhere in Paris,
altho / doubht very much whether
would be able to find it again or
not. Well, we didn't see much Of
the city. that day for we, thru form
Of habit acquired in this mans army,
retired as early as $50 p. m. Can
you imagine that In Paris?
The following morning we opened
our touring expedition by taking
the Metro to the place Des Invalides.
There we entered the museum in
which were displayed a great selec-
ton Of captured guns. We were
shown the largest projectile in the
world, one which in 1917 was used
in the great gun that for days fired
on the city of Paris. There also
saw, under the dome the tomb of
Napoleon I. Besides these l also
saw several other things OF interest
such as German mines, propellers
from noted air craft and q wonder
full large Boche flag.
In the afternoon we Joined q sight
seeing party leaving the Y. M C. A.
for Versailles. I will say here that
this was the most interesting trip.
There we visited the great old palace
of Louis XIV, who among the great
rulers OF France, was known as the
great constructive king" and who in
reality bankrupted France and thus
brought on the great French Revolu-
ton. For 1t is said that this castle
and the gardens and grounds cost
between seventy and 100 million dol
lars.
It was in this palace, in one of
"a II Vy{cf NIB H.
Kink William of Prussia was pro-
claimed king Of Germany, which was
the birth Of the new German empire.
Also it is in this palace that the
final signing Of the peace terms will
take place. Among the rooms which
I visited were the chapel of the
palace, wonderful. study Of art and
beauty. The large organ, the boxes
in which the king and queen sat

1t was from the window of this room
that the king and queen appeared be-
fore the angry mob in the court yard
at the time Of the French revolution
and Gained them, by telling them
that they would abandon the castle.
From here they went to Paris and
later both lost their lives under the
blade Of the guillotine at Place de
la Concorde, Paris; the hall of War:
the hall Of the Princes; the guard
rooms and many other rooms of less
importance.
We then visited the great gardens
OF the palace with the hundreds of
artificial lakes and fountains all of
which only goes to show the vast
amount of money that was here
spent by Louis XIV.
We then returned to Paris. Salts

Harder Conditions Coming This Year
and Next. Illinois Town
Protects Publishers
NEWSPAPERS FIGHT FOR LIFE

The eleventh of May and the first
Of July are interesting dates this year
for newspaper men. New difficulties
are maturing that take effect on
those dates. The 18th of May is the
time of expiration of a war order
fixing the wages of workers in the
print paper mills, and they have
served notice that they will demand
a raise Of Is per cent in wages on
that date. Paper makers have been
declaring they would not operate
their mills and sell paper at the
present prices unless they could~re-
duce expenses, and now comes this
new demand to increase the expense
Of manufacture.
On the first of July the so-called
zone system. of charging postage on
newspapers 60 into effect on more
drastic scale than before. A large
number of publishers tried to get it
repealed, but congress stood pat, and
refused to give them any relief.
Skilled help for newspaper work
Is the scarcest 1t has ever been, and
foreign countries are buying up part
of the already scant paper supply in
the u. s. Indications are that
crisis is steadily approaching in
the publishing business. There never
was time so many printing plants
and newspapers were being offered
for sale as at present, and there
never was time when so many pub
fishers were advertising for skilled
help. 1t Is developing into struggle
for the survival of the fittest, with
prospects that 1920 will witness the
peak" of drastic conditions.
The Retail Merchants association
of Springfield, H., have agreed to do
what they can to save their news
papers by refusing to advertise in
high school publications, programs,
pamphlets, or anything but the news
papers. They take the view that if
the local newspapers are bankrupted
in the struggle, the other advertising
mediums will not serve the public as
the newspapers do, and if either kind
has to go, they prefer to save the
newspapers which are always per-
forming valuable service to the pub
lie. Programs, pamphlets and the
like buy no liberty bonds, pay no
income tax, give nothing to the Red
Cross or any other public matter, or
carry any Of the public burdens or
fight any of the community's battles.
