Dear Aunt Junia and Cousins All: Per-
haps great many Of you will
| member me, as 1 wrote you all a letter
Just before 1 went overseas, and again
when l returned from foreign battlefields
I was on two battle fronts and saw many
things that tried the very souls Of men.
[ have seen Old Glory wave over fields
rs crimson as the bars, where our boys
were dying on the sodden fields of France.
Again where the tumult of battle ragged
! have sen the crimson poppies shoot, and
the little children played again where the
seventy-fiveS rOared death few short
months before Now we are back home at
the levers OF industry that promote peace
and happiness, but after all, sometimes we
see phantom armies rushing over fields and
see burning cities and the terrible carnage
of 1t all is so real that we wonder if we
have seen IT, or if it is only dream, and
1t all Tanishes, and tie sun shines as
bright as ever, and the Stars end Stripes
wave as free as ever, and the birds sing
Just as sweety, so, it must be dream!
] am Always delighted to have letters,
and hundreds OF beautiful, romat4tic south
ern girls always respond when 1 write, and
l will try to send every one my picture
when they write, so, don't ole of you wait
for the other to write, for / know no deep
er skies than the blue of your eyes, and
the wtchery of your words soothe like the
sunshine after RAID
With best regards for you all, I am still
The same.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Here I
print in todays Journal and it did
read awful. Wonder what you all are
PLAIN little. Either the cone that printed
my letter made a mistake i'll printing it,
or I made an awful mistake in writing it,

haven't any use for any one that uses
liquor. 1t should have read: "If all the
boys were in favor of nationwide prohi-
bition and against the use of tobacco in
