have seen the finest grain here that
have ever seen in my life. There is
not weed in all Germany. The fields
and meadows reach right up to the
highways which are bordered with fruit
trees.
The country is about one-third tim
ber and that is taken care Of the same
rs the grain fields. The work is all
done by hand threshing with fails:
and grain is cut and bound as we did
so years ago.
Things here are high. These people
know we draw lots of money for this
country and have raised the prices ac-
cordingly, but no matter how much is
charged, the price seems small and the
boys say, keep the change" So the
prices keep going up. The mark is
worth only one cent now. Before the
war it was worth little over "a cents.
The German people are very COM
mon, simple folks. They are very hos
pitable. The common people have my
sympathy and respect. They must
pay for the failure OF their ambitious
rulers to whip the world.
We have plenty to eat, and lots Of
work to do to make us want to eat
These men here are almost all young
fellows and are q bit wild especially
when they get few drinks Of wine or
cognac. However, beginning last
night, the military police are tighten
ing down on them. That is a good
thing. Half OF these kids just think
they are drunk and use that as an ex-
cuse to raise hell. A.bunch goes back
every few days as unfit for military SER
vice overseas.
There is some talk of the eighth be-
| ing sent home late in the spring. For
my part 1 would much rather remain
in Germany.
We can get our wine and beer here
and that is something. The German
bar is located in the house OF its owner.
His sons or daughters serve the drinks
and meals and every one goes there to
smoke, eat, talk and drink. There is
no drunkenness outsile of the soldiers,
that / have seen. And the Americans
are very welcome 10 anything they
have. They are like the old-fashioned
people Of the South. II you go to their
homes at meal time you must eat.
They haven't any great variety but
plenty OF what few things they do have.
They are much better OFF than the
the French. One sees no wooden shoes
here. There seems TO be plenty of foot
wear, and clothes too.
have never seen man out Of work
here nor one begging.
I'm afraid you will think l have
turned pro German. ] haven't, but
see their good points and they have
many OF them.
This letter is getting to be Il long one
and suspect there is little in it that
will interest you, but you will be glad
to hear from me, | Rnow-as was from
YOU. Write me soon and tell me all
about the folks at home. ! would like
very much TO see you and Dad. Love
to you both.

our dream Of the night there is al

dream machinery going. It is true. It
may be something which has only In
cidentally been taken cognizance Of by
our waking consciousness and can only
be traced back BY a minute and care

rule. the great sorrow and anxiety Of
the day does not mingfe with the
dream emotions, say the scientists.
This 70 explained on the theory that
our emotions witheregard to our great

they have not strength enough left
to make themselves manifest amid the

though both parties today still
claimed to have carried Missouri in
yesterdays election, the Republican
candidates for the principal state
and national offices continued to
increase their majorities. With
nearly half Of the states $50 pre-
cincts in, Senator Harding led Gov
ernor Cox by about thirty-five thou
sand and Senator Selden Spencer
was about the same number of votes
ahead of his Democratic opponent.
Breckenridge Long =
Arthur NJ. Hyde, Republican can
didate for governor, was running
we'll ahead of the national ticket
and had an advantage Of more than
10000 votes over Atkinson, the
Democratic nominee.
The precincts reported thus far
represented half the estimated vote
of the state, indicating that these
three candidates would double their
present majorities if the ratio OF
returns remained the same for the
unreported precincts. as for those
which have completed the unofficial
count.
