WHAT WILL WE
HAVE ABOUT 1T?

nur town may be clean, spotless
sanitary and a thing of beauty, OF
4 NAV wither and decay through
NEGLECT and indifference. 1t may
Be sarbed in the beauties of the
handicraft of man, or it may drift
alont in tatters and obscurity. 1t
NAV compel the admiration Of 9TH
er people and draw them to our
fold. or it may be a place to be
seen. and then Stunned or forgot
len. It is for us to say; our citizens
themselves will write the verdict OF
he future.
The birth Of a new year should
zee The dawn of new order of
.bin9s in Evening Shade. 1t should
ZEE every man and every woman
,triyine to make it the brightest
md most attractive spot in this
,ection of the state. 1t should see
ls striving with might and deter
} nination to convert a pleasant
country town into a garden spot of
,eauty, with health, happiness and
prosperity as the heritage of our
! laily life.
} The Record means and feels just
} shat it is saying, for it certainly
, Ioes bot require any special ability
} . look into the future, none too
, istant, and foretell what is inev'ta-
} lyin store for the town or cem-
, aunity in which public spirit and
} ublic enterprise are dormant,
} Are too many good people leav-
} Il this town? Are too few good
} eople coming into this town?
} omething must be wrong, because
, lis Is a progressive age, and that
} 'hich does not keep step with the
. mes is rottine away. Are you
} Importing your school, or are you
D abbine about this. that and the

} Of cut the throat Of your commun-
4 y any more quickly or more sure
4 than to diminish the influence

a These thoughts are called forth
\ the birth Of the new year and
!. q Sincere desire for the eman.
,.u patton Of this community from

LETTER FROM KING BONE
Sidney Boy Missed The Actual Fight

j. P. Bone Of Sidney has recelv-

King Bone, who is with the Ameri-
can army in France;
Dear Father:-I will try and
write you few lines this evening.

you the same. | received another
letter from mother few days ago,
the second since | have been here,
and it sure makes me glad to hear

to get this paper, and you know
that before | lett home | would not
walk that far for money. But that
, is not much Of a hike for me now,
and that is not like getting up at
about 2 o'clock in the morning and
hiking the rest of the day with
pack on your back.
Well, | guess you would like to
know how much fighting ! did. |

at all, but | got up on the lines. |

closed, and would have been fight
ing il it had lasted two hours long
er. But | got just as close and saw
all the war that | wanted to see.
had a letter from Edgar Arm a
few days ago. | don't guess he cot
across, and if he didn't he can pat
himself upon the back and call
himself lucky kid, as can all the
rest in camps over there. | heard
that Vernie Kirtley is dead and
that he died from influenza. That
must be a dangerous disease, jude-
ing from what ! hear Of it. Il
haven't heard Of it over here yet,
but hear they have it in all the
camps over there.
Everything has changed so at
Sidney that | don't know whether !
will like it there or not, but think |
will come back and try it anyway.

but we are hoping to get there by
Christmas, or in the United States

We are farine much better now.
We are sleeping in an old German
hospital and drilling about six
hours a day, and that is much bet.
ter than sleeping III q dueout and
getting up any time in the night
and walking all night, When we
60 to bed now we know that we
will get to sleep all night,
hear that they have stopped
our mail from coming over to us. !
don't know what is the reason for
this unless we are going home soon,
