Strange Game.

The farmers of North Dakota I'M
der the leadership of that man Town
ley, who is at the head of the Nom
Partisan league are playing
strange and novel game. They pro-
pose to issue state bonds up into the
millions and build immense storage
plants, factories and "sich" and run
things so that they will prosper at
the expense of the "other fellows"
who live in the towns. The expert
ment will be watched with intense
interest by people living in other
states. The project is built on class
lines and that is always a narrow
basis upon which to construct n
permanent and safe economic struc-
ture. And it is in direct opposition
to the plans which business men,
farmers and laboring men in the fac
tories and industrial life of the ma
ton have in mind, elsewhere. Never
was the spirit of common sense and
practical cooperation so rampant in
the minds of all classes as it is to-
day. If we do not learn that the sue
cess of one depends upon the success
of all then the great war in which
our boys so valiantly fought was a
dismal failure and we have not found
ourselves. North Dakota bids fair t.
be like the boy, who warned not to
get near the mule, nevertheless did,
and found himself hurled by the We
locity of the mules hind legs, over
the fence considerably bruised. Pick
ing himself up, with great pain, he
turned round to his father who hal
watched the performance, and said,
Pa, will / ever be as good looking
as 1 was?" The old man stopped n
moment and then said, mo, you

an hour in the rain waiting foo
trucks to take us down through BreSt
to the docks. Our work there con-
sisted of handling freight and load
ing unloading trucks and general
stevedore work.
After five days and nights of sleep

bed sacks and cork shavings to fill
them with. These made very comfor-
table beds but we only used them
two nights and then we were move
into barracks, which at least were
dry and boosted two stoves, one IN
either end, and wire beds, four beds
to a section, two. above and two be-
low. The one barrack would accomO-
date about 200 men. Imagine how
well 100 men could get dried out
around one stove. Many of the boys
got sick here from exposure and
many more would have given up had
it not been for the thought of soon
going home. 1t wasn't quite so bad
in the barracks, but the detail work
kept pace with the rain and so even
now we were continually wet.
Aside from these hardships We
were given to understand by camp
officials that the least disobedience

Dear Sister Gina:
Well, being | haven't written you
for some time / thought I would
write you a few lines again to let
you know l am feeling fine and
dandy. I have been anxious to hear
from you so | could hear how you
all are getting along. l see by the
papers that there is so much sick
ness back in the L. S. A, so I have
been worrying about you folks all
the time, as it don't seem like that
| will ever get your letters. l can't
understand what is the trouble. But
here is hoping that you all are we'll
and happy and that | may see you
soon. We have been cleaning camp
this last week, have got all the tents
packed up now and are living in
hospital wards again and l am glad
of it, as it was getting pretty COLI
to live in tents. We have had some
cold days lately and enough snow
to make the ground white. But we
have had a real nice winter so far.
Expect you are having some cold
weather in Iowa now. Well | think It
will be warm by the time | get
home. | can't say for sure, but think
that | will be back by the time the
grass gets green. Oh what grand
day that will be. Well today it has
been kind of nice weather and we
haven't had much to do. Believe thar
is on account of me having my birth
day. Ha. Ha! Haven't had many cal
lers. Well we haven't got much fire
in our stove tonight, so my fingers
are getting rather cold, so think /
will have to close soon, as there is
rot much news to write about. You
see it makes it pretty hard for ne
to write on account of not receiving
any mail. Well l think it won't be
no use for you to write me any more
while | am over here, as I expect to
be on a move most all Of the time
now until l hit home. We are expect
ing to leave here tomorrow morning
for somewhere. l hope its step
closer home. I am pretty sure about
ne not seeing my company any more,
as the rumors are that we go home
as casuals from here. Well anyway
just so l get back to good old U. S.
A. Sending you all my best wishes
and regards and, love to you all. ]
remain your loving brother,
