You would have the liberty and
the means of visiting Bordeaux, and
it would be very great pleasure
for us to offer our hospitality. Do
you understand that word? II not,
have recourse to your dictionary.

did when you were here); it is too
cold now, and the currents of air
would be dangerous.
You are perhaps little disap-

future commission But do not be
too unhappy. l am glad you did
not have to undergo the horrors of
the war. Your comrades have paid

We have just received nice letter

Soviet Government Seeks Return OF

New York.-The Russian Reds art
said to be extremely anxious to make
terms with the United States. AS the
first step toward obtaining recOgni
ton by the United States, the Rus.
sian soviet government is prepared to
deposit 100000 900 in gold with Amer.

statement issued here March 20 by l..
G. A. K. Martens, American repre-

Works in Moscow, through the "bu-

Asserting that he had received this

IMPROVEMENTS AT STERLING

Martin Driscoll and wife were in
from Sterling the last of the week,
and in discussing roads, Mr.. Dris-
coll said there was much need of a
top coating Of fine gravel for some
of their Sterling roads. The soil, he
said is so soft when it gets wet,
and is so slick, that cars skid right
off the grades. When the rest Of
the country roads are dry after a
shower the Sterling mud stays wet
and slick. The road cuts to pieces
readily and the grades tramp down
easily while they are saturated. Mr..
Driscoll has 1000 acres of land in
that locality, and when he considered
the amount of extra taxes he would
be called upon to pay in consequence
of the bond issue it seemed so little
and the added value of the land
seemed so substantial that lie is
convinced it is going to be a pro-
fitable investment. The ,rincinle
that applies to thousand acres, ap-
plies in the same way to fifty or
hundred.
F. M. Taylor is erecting some
kind of building on the H. K. Wiley
seed farm northwest of Sterling.

Downstairs there is a large coat

upstairs also has closet.
This is substantial home that
will appeal especially to 'the farmer
who is considering building a new
house. There are no frills about it,
yet it is an attractive appearing house
and one In which all the modern farm
conveniences, running hot and cold
water, electric light and sewage sys-
TEN can be installed. As the mod

will be small, but they will add
much to keeping the boy and girl
on the farm and making the work in

er and lumber and material dealer
will soon disclose the cost of such
a home, either in town or ON the
farm.

French Girls Letter to an American
Soldier

French Girls Letter to an American
Soldier
The following letter was written
on the great day of the armistice
by a young girl who lives near
Bordeaux, to an American soldier
who had been billeted in her fathers
barn.
1t is an American trick to publish
private correspondence, and yet this
little letter so admirably represents
the feeling of the French toward
American soldiers that we cannot
refuse to let it go out to our COM
munity, and as far as it will with
it's warm message. In translating,
the original French construction
was followed as far as possible:
Dear friend:
How to express to you our joy!
The war is finished do not find
the words to tell you how happy we
are! An end to mourning, an end
to the splitting of blood, all the
atrocities made necessary by war are
ended.
Very soon all families will have
the happiness of celebrating the re-
turn of the dear combatants-hus-
bands, sons or brothers. And it is
to sing out this happiness with light
hearts, that today all the bells are
carolling SO joyously.
Victorious our belle France!"
and also victorious her allies! But
in thinking of the victory, all of us,
we can not but address to your dear
country and to all the American
army a heartfelt and grateful
thought, for we owe them much,
very much! She threw everything
into the work of coming to our
rescue, her soldiers, her gold, her
munitions; she lavished them with
prodigal liberality.
She came to hasten the victory of
right and Of justice in peril.
And now, what enthusiasm! -
Happiness beams in every face, the
streets are hung with flags and there
is holiday air.
In learning, dear friend, this JOY
Gus news, we thought Of you, who
should be here to share our happi-
ness.
Hostilities having ceased, still you
exrect to continue your studies, for
you speak of examinations in your
last letter.
Perhaps the American troops will
soon 60 back to America. What do
you think? However, we shall be
grieved If you leave France without
coming to see us again. You must
try to get permission" (furlough)
ard If you get one for several days,
would you not rather come to us,

ness and leave an unjust prejudice
in their wake as they pillow thru the
interested public. 1t is not easy for
soldier to Judge impartially of any
place he may be in; his army re-
strictions smart him, and he adds
that smart to his judgments.
Some of the things the Americans
did not like in France were no fault
of that country; for instance, the
flimsy French paper money, the un-
Ineligible language, sunless days
and high prices.
A nation can not be expected to
change its monetary customs be-
cause foreigners are not pleased with
it, nor its language, either. The
french have plenty of sunshine in
summer, especially in the south, and
that is really the time and place for
tourist pleasures, but soldiers are
not as tourists, going whittier and
when they list. And as to high
prices when you have but few goods,
and an army of apparently rich
foreigners comes in on you, demand
ing your goods land showing every
contempt for small change, you, or
anybody, would be tempted to put
the prices up to even figures, and
not bother the proud strangers with
small change.

get the colonel's permission for

to see, and you may be within a
few hours journey of them; yet for
all the chance you have OF getting
pass to go there you might as well
be in the United States.
The army is so full CT annoyances,
such as wet feet, absent-minded
cooks, sudden moves, eternal in
spections, wasteful waiting, bad luck
at cards and so on that no soldier
can stand off and have fair view
of any place he may be soldering
in. To enjoy the scenery and fixin's
it is nece ssary to forget that you
