Clarence, who has just been released from service with Uncle Sam, has been in the cav airy on the the Mexican border for almost year, having received his commission as first lieutenant. He was delighted with the work and says he's a better man in every way, weighing twenty-five pounds more than he did a year ago. He says Uncle Sam takes the best of care of his boys and thinks in many ways the training to the young men of the na- tion was the greatest thing in the world for them. He also said the Mexicans would have given this country great deal of trouble if the coast had not been so well guarded and might yet if they are not watched closely.

FROM THE BOYS IN SERVICE
Recent Letters Descriptive of the Life of the Boys
in Army and Navy

lize that only a decisive victory is the
thing that will give us this longed for
privilege. Such articles as the one /
have referred to only tend to discour-
age the ordinary IMAM from, putting his
whole soul into his job. We are doing
orlr BIT, so Every one at home give us
a hand and help get the boys home, in
stead of trying to keep us over here.
Now ]. don't want, amy, one at home
to think that am writing from ex-
perience. for / have never been in the
trenches and have not even seen the
front, but, I sure have seen a lot of
boys who. have. i saw one fellow while
/ was at LeMans from the old Vermont
regiment who was going up for his
fourth time. Now if fellows like my
self are sick of France, what do you
think of fellows like that one / have
spoken off, But Just because | have
not been at the front | don t want any
one to think that the boys who came
late have not met with any hardships,
for when [ left LeMans Sgt. Voetseh,
Rolln and Richardson were sleeping in
their pup tents with straw in them to
kept them out of the mud which was
three inches deep all around the camp.
Now that is only one incident, for
when the 57th Pioneer infantry land
ed in Brest we put our tents up in the
same kind of mud, and we went from
there to barns and hen houses. And it
was reported that out of 500 sick 600
died coming across.
Now if any one at home knows
where any of the old boys are I would
ha lov .1n.l
so that | could look them up for we
have been split up so that I have lost
track of them all. and furthermore |
would be very glad to hear from any
one that | know, for a letter helps a
lot when one is so far away from home

AGAINST DAYLIGHT SAVING.
Farmers Wife Gives Reasons Why it
Is Disadvantage.

Editor of The Reformer:-,
We read a good deal in the papers
about the advantages. of the daylight
saving law-from those who work on
the to 10 hour plan, but see almost
nothing about the disadvantages of it
for the farmers and their families.
Farmers who have to, make living
on their farms have to put in long days
and find that they. use all the daylight
there. is, some of them putting in about
10 hours day the year around. If a
farmer has to hire help they won t
work minute after 5 D. M, which is
only 4 o clock by regular time, and in
haying that is the best time of day to
work. One can t hay or do much hoe
ing in the garden until the dew is off
in the morning.
The to 10 hour people say farmer
can work according to the sun, but
he can't and work hired help to an adj
vantage. On the other hand why can't
the 8 to 10 hour people go to work a.
6 a. m. and stop at p. M, or earlier
| instead of having the clocks changed
l know of people who used the extra
hour of daylight last summers riding
around in their automobiles instead OF
working in garden No wonder the
country ran short of gasoline!
"A good many of the children on the
farms have mile or more 10 go d
school, having TO get up by o clock il
/ order to get there on time, and should
be in bed by at night I am speak
ing of children under u years of age
Ie is almost impossible TO get childre1
Ito bed before dark; as the mothers q

sets to work in the garden SO when III,

ONLY ITSELF TO BLAME.

Germany is protesting against the terms Of the treaty which has been presented for it's signature and points out the severity of the demand that it return the cattle that were taken from Belgium and France. It is claimed that it means the condemnation of thousands of children to death and that the food supplies that would be provided would be inadequate.
 These are only a few of the howls that are being set up in Germany, where the people for the first time seem Co have come to the realization of the fact that Germany lost the war. Unquestionsbly they know little of what Germany has done to other na- tions or under such circumstances they ought to expect to have to pay as matter of restitution Germany is waking up to the real situation and it is of course only what was expected that it should en- deavor 10 influence the terms ol participate in saving what the peace agreement it must sign should be.
 Germany is terribly concerned about Us AAAAAAtAls uuL IL hAuh AiAilih dHg thing about those of Belgium. those Of Poland. those. of Serbia and those of Armenia. Tl*y have gone through the worst sort of suffering and tor lures imaginable at the hands of the Germans and it will be years before they will recover from it. Germany isn't even now taking into considera- ton what it has done to others. It is simply concerned with its own future but it cannot fail to realize that il must pay for the devastation it has caused, the property it has wrecked the goods it has stolen, the cattle i has driven away. It is customary however. for Germany to howl wher it faces it's own medicine but it nigh as we'll understand that it will amour to nothing. It has made it's own bet and # must occupy it. It has itsel alone to blame.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
General Leonard Wood

Mr Editor: Various reasons have been advanced to account for the growing belief that Leonard Wood would make good president. Yet ali have been of a secondary nature
 'deriyatiyes.' Qualities have been as cribed and performances dwelt upon according as they have appealed to the particular writer, yet no one has specified the primary attributes which undsrlie-loyalty and an endless pa
 tience Every act or course which has won approval has been palpably
 the offspring of these qualities. Loy- alty to duty. to country. to associates
 and patience to comprehend, and
 thereby produce good result. That which alone makes efficiency, in sol
 dier. executive, or servant of the peo-
 pie in any capacity is this trait of
 loyalty! but to accomplish it must be
 backed up by patience. We lnstlnc-
 lively recognize underlying traits and approve men upon them, Is not this then the reason why General Wood is looked on with confidence and re- spect? He may, or may not be nomi- mated in 1920. Whether he be, or be not. no one will doubt but that he will continue to be that which he has been. As we know a feeling of cer- tainty as to the general relations oi life and business arises when there is knowledge that q chief executive is possessed of the qualities of loyalty and patience. If, therefore, it come 1 to pass that General Wood be nomi- mated, we may assume that justli1a- ble feeling of certainty and security l will spread abroad.
 Yours very truly,
