flow of cheerful letters and small
packages moving forward in their
direction constantly. Certainly, the
time and effort spent in such a
cause is well worth every moment
consumed. Mail is one of the best
morale builders for the Service
men. 1t is true, you cannot pre-
vent them from thinking about
their homes and loved ones, but you
certainy can go long ways to-
wards putting their minds at rest
these subjects. Dribbles
has dwelt ON this issue very exten-
sively throughout the past year,
but he does not feel that too much
can be said on this score. Keep
the letters going out to all our
Boys and Girls. They do appreci-
ate any and all news from home
whether they tell you so or not.
The next time that you write
your brother, tell him that we
would be glad to have him write in
direct and join up with the rest of
our friendly Service folk who are
this column possible. We
are publishing his address in the
column so that his friends may
know where to write. If the ad-
dress needs any changes, please ad-
wise.

for the benefit of your many friends
in and around Smyrna. The next
time you write, please include your
Army Seriol Number and give the
date of entrance into service for
our records. Better still, send
along your travel papers and Drib-
bles will return them to you on the
next mail. These We're the papers
that 1 asked for when you were on
weekend leave from Fort Dix,
New Jersey, not so many weeks
ago.
We're mighty glad that you like
your new surroundings out at Fort
Leonard Wood, Missouri. Since it
woud appear that you are the only
Delaware man there, the respon-
sibility of upholding the traditional
honor of the State falls upon your
shoulders. Keep up the good work.
All of us are please to know that

Service all take secret pride in be-
ing good shot, and there will per-
haps be times later on when this
qualification may stand you in good
stead.
No doubt you have read the ar
ticle that Dribbles assumes Miss
Eva Sims wrote the column in your
behalf. In this she covered pretty
well your early service record. We
hope that you wrote back and
thanked her for this bit of thought
fulness. If not, get busy as soon
as you have ready this weeks issue
of our column. How about it, sold
ier? Dribbles wishes you all of the
very best for your future, and we're
expecting you to call again soon.

The above letter as it may be
termed was contained on post
card recently received by Mr.. Will
son. Since many of the folks in
our community remember Howard
C. Lewis very well, prior to the
time his fanny moved down to Do
yer, Dribbles thought it timely to
pass this bit of good news along to
our readers. According to the rec
ords, Howard's name was among
the first entered in our column un-
der the date of May 28th, 1912. At
that time, Howard was stationed at
Camp Gordon, Georgia. This is the
first change of address that we
have had since the date mentioned.
We ask you folks, it that right?
No doubt, someone knew of How
ards subsequent changes of ad-
dress. Don't you all feel it would
have been friendly to have forward
ed this information to Dribbles so
that the young man would have
had the chance to receive a bit
more mail during the past year?
Howard was your
friend.

Dear Sir:
This is my first letter to you
since L have been in the Service.
I feel very fortunate in that a
friend of mine, Miss Eva Sims of
Smyrna, is sending me The Smyr-
ma Times each week. Through the
service that your column renders,
| it makes it possible for me to con-
tact many of my Home Town boys
who are in the Armed Forces.
At present, 1 am stationed at
Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, right
in the heart of the Ozark Noun
tains. The scenery here is beauti-
full.
My work out here is taking spec
ial training for the Engineers Corps
before being assigned to per-
manent unit.
1 am quite sure that many of the
folks from back home would have
thoroughly enjoyed the beautiful
country scenes which gazed upon
coming out here from Fort Dix,
New Jersey. During my journey, I
passed through Pennsylvania, Ohio,
Indiana and then on to good old
Missouri with plenty of fresh
mountain air and bright clean sun
shine.
To date, I have met fellows from
most every state in the Union ex-
cept Delaware. Therefore, I have
continued to do my very best to
honorably represent my home
state. I was successful in qualify
ing as "Sharpshooter" out on the
rifle range last Tuesday.
1 surely hope that everyone back
lin Smyrna is getting along equally
as good as 1 am. Please tell my
friends to write, as letters from
home are surely appreciated by all
the men in the Service.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Ora:
How is everything going around
Smyrna these days? I guess it is
very much quieter since many of
the younger boys have entered the
Army.
1 suppose you think am quite a
bit neglectful in not writing to you
more often. Perhaps you are right
in way and really should try to
do better in this respect. In some
ways the nights seem to pass so
quickly, yet on the other hand,
they are plenty long too. : You
know many persons call this part
of the world ''The land of the mid
night SUM-" During much of the
year, it remains light up until
twelve o'clock at night-if you
wish to call it night.
Don't you wish that you had me
back home on the farm so that you
could try bossing me around. I
don't think that you could get
away with this now, even though
you do weigh around 160 lbs. I'm
gaining weight too, but like
chicken 1 do not show it in my
face.
Mother tells me that Buster is in
the Army now. 1 wonder how he
likes to do the left flank? l bet he
is getting plenty of drilling. know
that / did when 1 first entered the
Service. I remember on one occa-
sion when we were marching along
and the drill Sergeant gave the
command ito the rear, march"
Well, di dnot hear the order
clearly so 1 continued to march
right along. Finally 1 turned
around and saw that the rest of the
Battery was moving in the oppo-
site direction. Oh, WELL This is
war.
How is Cy getting along? I !
suppose that he is right in his glory
with all the girls around and a
shortage existing in the male popu-
sation. Tell him to take good care
of Helen for me. I'm coming back
home some of these days. You
might also remind Cy not to sell
the COW that he promised me either.
don't think that the kids would |
know me now, would they? Please
don't alowk Maude to read this
letter, she might get mad at me
for calling her a kid, when no doubt
she feels that she is very much the
young lady. surely would like to
see you al once more. This makes
fifteen months that I've been away
from home. 1 get a bit homesick
at times. After all, I really feel
that have done right good in this
respect, since this is the first time
that I have been away from home.
Well, Ora, I'm right fresh out of
news for now, so I'll close. Please
write soon, and don't forget to tell
everybody that 1 have been asking
for them.
Love,

the benefit of her many friends in

the most human reactions to have
