Dear Brother and family:

If we get everything loaded up

know for sure. They have stopped
our three-day leaves, all we can get
is a weekend pass, (36 hours.( ]

been doing lately and a little of
everything else. We sure have got
a bunch of them here now. Last
week we worked hours after sup
per. Don't know whether we will
have to do that this week or not.
Well, l suppose you are pretty
busy now days. haven't heard
from you for quite while. How
did your wheat and rye thresh out
or have you threshed yet? You
should see them cut their rye over
here. Most of them use a cradle.
There are a few binders, but not
many. And you should see the
cars they are bursting up over here.
They take the engine out and burst
it up and put in as scrap iron and
burn it in the frame. They had
two acres of motorcycles and a
steam roller over them and smashed
them up.
The Polish bought the big Red
Cross cars. They were as big as
our Pullmans in the States, but
they were built for Red Cross
work only. The Frogs only offered

You can see the Frogs want every
thing for nothing.
Well, l will have to quit and
finish your letter tonight, if we
don't have to work.
Well, l didn't have to work this
evening, so will try and finish your
letter.
They stopped us this afternoon
of loading harness, and don't know
what is the matter, though l think
they have got more irons in the
fire than they can handle. We
got all the stuff Grated this eve
ming and don't know for sure what
we will do in the morning if they
don't finish loading. / guess we
can take out citizenship papers now,
as we have been over here long
enough or will be when we get
ready to start home.
Well, l had better ring off for
this time for | have got to shave

The twelve foot road seems to be
entirely satisfactory. About every
twelve feet an expansion joint of
asphalt is placed to provide for the
expansion. Mr.. Earl said he was
told these roads had been down
from twelve to fourteen years and
they appear as good as when origi-
nally built. He believes concrete
road would be the best thing for
this country, and that a twelve
foot road would be wide enough,
