knowledged that his acijon had
laid him subject to publie criti-
cism, but that he did not thoro'.y
understand the method of pro-

regretted his action very much

at the time. He has always been
a respected citizen since living

Another letter which had late-

the Bunch girl who with I'.en
Turner committed suicide at Rol-
j la, Mo. some weeks ago, has just
been found in which the girl
I states that they had been mak-
j ing preparationg for a couple of
months to commit the deed. She
bids her people good bye and ad-
j vises them not to worry about
; her. She seems to have prepared
for the deed in a eold blooded
manner, and the means they
I used showed that they were des-
I perate and madly infatuated with
each other. She requested that
they be buried together.

The rumor is current here that
a farmer or two living south of
the river have several hundred
bushels of old wheat still in their
graneries which they failed to
sell befare the new crop came on
It is said they are now dumping
j the new wheat in on top of the
I old. If this is true the county
council of defense has been sleep
I ing on its rights, and these farm-
I ers have failed to obey the man-
j dates of the powers higher up.
, It should be looked into.

it, and was glad I w.r
willing I do it '.i much when I
am out with the gills <oi evangel-
istic trips I don't mind it a bit.
But now 1 mu'~t tell you the
great surprise! Miss U. had heard
a long time ago that Miss Mary
Kiamcrtsfclder would sail from
British Kast Africa in April and
stop off here. However we
could get no word from her any
more and just a few days ago
Miss IV said she supposed 110
travelling could be done any more
and that 110 doubt she would have
to w ait until the war was over.
Well, yesterday morning I was
sitting in my room studying about
8 a. m., when 1 beard the gate
bell ring. 1 looked out and saw
n foreign woman <.n a jinrikasha.
She kept talking to him in Eng-
lish so i concluded it must be a
tourist possibly waiting help or
directions. 1 went down . ' it
suddenly came to me that maybe
it w s Miss B. I said "1 bet 1 can
guess who you are?" You are
Miss Gramertsfelder." She was so
glad and said "Then 1 am really
here at last," she had been trav-
elling just seven weeks to get this
far. Left Africa at Mambosa
sailed to Bombay—then to Hon'g
Kong, China, and from there here.
She will stay several months and
we are certainly gTad to have her.
No doubt you have often read her
letters in tilt Messenger. 1 ht.pe
you get to sec her. Siie goes from
here to Burlington, TCans., to \isit
her eldest brother and said she
would surely go to AToimtridge
and see Anna for me. W hen 1
hear her tell of Africa I ded''*:J
we have no right to complain.
That we are not beginning to
suffer hardships like she has done
tid she's just as sweet and dear
as she can be.
Monday is my birthday, Sunday
Miss Bremer's so we are go-
ing to go out there Monday for
supper to celebrate together.
They have strawberries growing
in the yard so we must each pick

I thought of yiui ou Mother's

Wish I could send you some of
our beautiful flowers.
Just got your letter tell'
about 'Mice's bov I am glad she
got along so nicely and should
love to see that babv. lust think
Claud and Ella as grandpa and
grandma. I don't feel alls older
than I did l"i years ago and can'*
imagine the rest of you as i^et'mg
older. 1 certainly feel will and
try to take good care of what 1
eat. That's the main thing here.
Now 1 must close, with lots
of love,
