Dead Dad: •
i aiu going to declare “time out"
1or a few minute* and write a few
'‘lines in auhwer to your recently re-
ceived letter I received a bunch ol
letter* a few da>* ago. seven in num-
ber, and as they were the first that
I had received for a month or more,
•hey were more than welcome. There
were four from Alma, one fj*>m
mother, one from “Happy" and one
iroin you. 1 nypted in to answer
them right uvm>, but Alma's and
Happy'a were the only two that 1
finished They got too busy around
hero at night time to t>uit me and it
was not conducive to good letter
writing. I was very surprised to
bear from Happy, agreeably so. of
course, and his was the first letter
that 1 answered l am beginning
to hole that he does not have to
come over. What does he think of
his chances of passing the Until ex-
uni nation? He did not give much
news in his letter, but 1 expect that
ha vm too buoy to write much i
know that if 1 could get away on a
turlough for teu day* and have noth-
ing to think about it would be mighty
lew letters that 1 would stop to % rite
1 am in the very bc«t of health.
Have never felt any belter than 1 do
at the present. 1 can see no harm in
telliug you that w* are within a short
distant•• of the front line trenehos,
•a it has been newspaper talk for
some time. Of course I can not tell
vou wbat sector or what part of
France it is. 'Also there tan tie no
harm in Piling you that a few nights
ago the Boche avtons paid us u visit,
a small air attat k and very unsuc-
cessful. The Americans opinion of
*that particular avion’* marksman-
ship is far from being a good one. At
the same time he “kintia” stirred
things up a bit Of course that iF.
«*>r should be. no cause for worry on
th* part of you foLks. in my behalf,
for that is once in four years anti
f hnnees are that it will not occur
again for another year or so.
l*wns out to see Tulljr a few nigilts
ago. He is farther up than I am and
is a mighty busy man He said tell
you all "hello'' and that lie would
drop you a few lines as soon as he
could find time and energy to do so.
He never misses asking about ail of
you. •
1 think that 1 had better close ami
get back to the work There is noth-
Ing more to write about and i -*n> no
*U ill t eitain w it 'h- i the -« neor will
let all of this through <u not. and
. gain iu is almost time Tor dinner,
nod I suppose that is one of the main
reasons for the stop I certainly
have developed an enormous appetite
iately. I think that 1 am feeling too
well.
Tell mother that her letter should
follow tinr one closely I bay b<
able to Ami time to write it tilts ait-
ernoon, although I can think of noth-
ing at present that I could tell her
different from this 1 guess 1 had
better wait another day or two Will
probably have something to write
about by that time.
With all love.

Mv dearest Eleanor:
Washington’s birthday, and still in
France. 1 always think of our trip
to New York so many years (eleven
ago on this day-, it is cold, dark and
raining, a little sleet last night, and
the ground half frozen. Dr. Arbuekb-
I took h rid. to the Headquarters
gamzatiou of the school district
council of defense.
Charles Forbia was elected presi-
dent, t’icero Niccum, vice-president,
and Henry Boatright, secretary-treas-
urer.
A large crowd was present and
great interest manifested by all. A
pie supper yielded funds sufficient
to meet the temporary needs of the
council.
A committee on loyalty and mem-
bership was appointed, consisting (of
W M. Oakley, it. W Laudis, and
Elmer Tunnell This committee will
give every person in the district an
opportunity to sign the loyalty
pledge and become a member of the
council. »
Other committees on program and
iinance will be appointed by Presi-
dent Korins, and will BOOS be bu-*>
at their respective duties.
Regular meetings of the council
will be held and everything done
that is needed to co-operate In the
task ot winning the war The Lib-
erty I,oan drive will be one of the
first things undertaken, after which
the Red Cross war fund campaign
At all times the officers and corn-
mitttH.s will give attention to crop
conditions and matters effecting loy-
alty to the government and other
matters in the district Regular re-
ports of conditions w ill be made to
the executive committee of the coun-
ty council of defense
Mr. Davis’ speech was highly ap-
preciated and every mention of the
purposes of our country in this war
lor humanity was heartily applaud-
ed. • • i

American boys in France are being
killed uud wound.-d in constantly in-
creasing numbers. It will not be
long before our Lincoln county boys
will be in the light on lund and
wat* r When reports casualties
among our own boys are received
and when th*- boys themselves re-
turn home broken in health or body,
the Lincoln county chapter of the
Red Dross will have its most import-
ant duty to perform, through the
home service section *
It is not the policy of the Red
Cross to wait for a need to arise be-
fore arranging to meet it. therefore
th*- home service section ha* been
put upon a working basis and funds
have been set apart at Chandler and
at each of our eighteen branches in
order that we may be able to act
promptly and effectively iu any
emergency.
Following is a statement of the
cash balances in the treasuries of
the Lincoln county chapter on March

The commit on for relief in Bel-
gium has room for quantities of serv-
iceable cast-off clothing in it* ves-

task of collecting and delivering to
the warehouse of the coin mission in
New York a quantity ot clothing and
the week of March IHth to 2 5th has
been d«*ignated to gatht r up and
forward the goods.
Garments arc needed made of
strong, durable material They do
not need to be in perfect repair as
there are more than a hundred thou-
sand women in Belgium and north
ern Fran < efficient and capable, who
are happiest when at work, having
less time to dwell upon their misery,
and who aro only too glad to repair,
rip up and remake this old clothing.
Garments are needed for men.
women, boys, girls ami infants, also
bedding of all kinds and shoes are
especially desired, also leather which
can be utilized in repairing shoes.

voke all those now in force. The

The move to close the pool hails
has been on the tapis for some little
lime anil wa* brought to a head last
week when the county council of de-
fense adopted a resolution recom-
mending that drastic action be im-
mediately taken
Following the lead set by the coun
oil of defense Judge Hillingslea, of
the county court, bus issued an or-
der to owners or operatives of each
pool and billiard ball in the county,
ordering them to appear before the
court on the 20th day ot March, uext
