the devils saint. We had a good
time In Sandusky. That city is
reaping much benefit from war pro-
duction The ordnance plant Of
which we spoke in our last; the
town was built for a summer re-
sort town, built like all towns and
cities would Like to be-wide
streets, beautiful parks. and that
makes us think of it. One time
when we worked under r. G.. Swank

he laughed when we said we could
sell New York City and pay the ma

ed debt, we say they might have to
sell part of Sandusky. If Roy
laughs, Bess, tell us.
AS we write this. we are in
GAINESVILLE. We haven't seen any
/ one carrying street car rails. We
met Lille Harmon on the street
Saturday. She looks much better
than we supposed she could, after
all the sickness and operations she
has gone through. She said Tom
was on the street, but we didn't
find him. We had talk with our
friend, Attorney Clarence A. Gra-
ham. We found him about the
busiest man in GAINESVILLE. It
didn't take long to tell him what
we wanted and it didn't take him
minute to tell us what he would
do. Some day C. A. will go up
where he has helped put other good
Democrats. C. A. has warm place
in many hearts in Morgan county.
caused by what he did for us in the
Meigs literary society.
While we are sorry any Of our
boys have to go to war, We hoped
our friend VIM. Embree would go
far enough to be able to write some
history Though handicapped by
defective vision, he sees more of in
terest than a majority of folks with
good eyes. AS we travelled over
South GAINESVILLE Saturday, our
mind went back to the years when
Guy Smith built houses and moved
village SO far as we could tell the
houses are standing, as to back
bones we can't tell.
We forgot to tell you last week
that we were in a coffee rush. We
learned something, besides getting
"a pound of coffee-that some folks
are hogs We couldn't help think
ing that if they would put up a no.
tice is the stores reading something
like coffee IL cents per pound,
many of those taking the lead in
the mad rush would fall back. Of
course some of them wouldn't
they would be afraid they were be-
ing fooled.
We find that our work isn't over
in Morgan county, and we are to
go back for few days, after which
we will leave again.
We called Wildey Combs of
GAINESVILLE on the phone Sunday.
Even after we mentioned j. w. Par
miter's saw mill and some other
| events he couldn't name u.s. We
didn't know whether to call him
Hon. Mayor" or what, so we
called him Wildey. They have
son in the army.
AS we write our thoughts, we
often wonder if we are alone with
them, if we are wrong We long
ago found the way to find out if
shoes fit, is to try them on Here
is what we are thinking of at this
time. BY radio, newspapers, public
speakers, we hear and read "do
your part to win the war;" when
| one who has gone beyond the point
where we have found what we can
best do and are ready to do it,
then when we apply" we are told
your age is against you" Some
places, if you haven't been to and

from which no one ever graduated,
