learn of the death Of Mrs. Pearl Stur-
CESS in Portland, wife of one of our
former Mosier boys. Sincere sympathy

1t SHOWS! cries the school boy. Hur-
rahl and some who are not now school
boys would feel as pleased, if only the
ground were not SO frozen. But why
worry? Perhaps it will turn warmer
and the snt W will change to rain; then
the grain fields will fare better, and
the good farmers smile will broaden,
and all the world will seem better. We
hear that there has been crossing on
the ice from shore to shore up at The
Dales; we hope it will prove safe
venture for all who try it, but it would
not be advisable to try the same thing
at this point on the old Columbia, as it
looks little too far between the ice
cakes, and they are apt to be somewhat
wobbly, if not securely anchored, and
not very comfortable place on which
to be stranded.
The following letter comes to from
Pvt. l.. j. Merrill to his mother from
Somewhere in Belgium:
Dear Mother: Finie La Guerre
Finie La G1erre! So say the French
soldiers. And we hear that at m.
there was an order received to cease
fighting, or perhaps The order was to
cease at a. m. If it is really true we
won't t argue about minor details. If it
should be true can say was on duty
the last night of the war. Our com
pany had established a dressing sta
ton. but there was no dressing to do.
| was on guard duty from to a a. m.
Heard guns at that time in the dis.
tance. Argued with American soldiers
who passed through in regards to
peace. ! have been dubious as to out
come all along, but am mighty glad if
my guess has been wrong. Official,
they say. Kaiser and two sons in Lon.
don. Firing ceases at II a. m. today.
Hoorayl Social Dem ocrats in control
in Germany. Hooray, again. So many
rumors fly around that we hardly be.
lieve anything. 1t is hard to believe
all these good reports at once.
One thing that helps us to be con-
tented over here. is the feeling that
our home folks at home are not having
the hardships of the people we see
here, civilians, | mean. If we can
prevent any such hardships, we feel
repaid for any temporary invconven.
ience. have heard of all sorts of ways
