CAD IMF FAILS 10
CETtMLMSf
Last night about ten o'clock Police-
man Norris caught a fellow in the
act of attempting to steal a Ford car
out of the W. D. Black barn in Man-
gum. He had tried to buy a set of
numbering dies at a local hardware
store, and had purchased a file. His
suspicious actions in the afternoon
had aroused suspicion and he was be-
ing watched. He went into the Black
barn and tried to start the car. Fail-
ing, he crawled under neath the car
and was attempting to adjust the
pait§ in some manner when he was
caught.* He had previously hidden his
grip in an alley in the north part of
town. He gave his name first as Hill
stating he lived at Wichita, Kansas,
Later a check book was found show-
ing his name to be Owen Goss ,and he
admitted this was his right name.
He is about six feet two and wore
a light 3uit and straw hat. He said he
was registered at Center Point, Texas,
and was in class 5.
Floyd Lewis, 16 year old son of J.
G. Ijewis at Hollis was run over by a
truck last week and instantly killed.
Hewas attempting to jump on a mov-
ing truck and his foot slipped, and he
fell in front of the rear whacL The
truck was being driven about six
miles an hour, by Payton York.
Mr. and Mrs. Roy Nanny were here
a few days this week, on their way
from Wichita Falls to Hobart where
they will make their future home.

PONDER BOYS MEET IN PARIS.
OSCAR YARBERRY WRITES
Dear Mother and Family:
At last after a long and interesting
and exeiting trip I am in France, safe
and sound, feeling fine. Suppose you
received my card. A letter to you was
just returned to me by the Censor, but
I will try to get up to regulations.
This is certainly a very peculiar coun-
try, I mean so different from good old
U. S. A. Of course I haven't seen all
of France to tell you very much about
it yet. Will write you more fully later.
You can easily see the word war writ-
ten everywhere I have been. _ I dont
blieve I have seen an able bodied man.
The women and old and crippled men
are working very hard to keep things
going.
I have met a number of boys Whom
I have known before since being here.
Have talked to several from the front
which makes a fellow want to hurry
:lo his part. Of course I don't know
when* we will get to go to the front.
Though I don't guess it will be many
weeks for the slogan here is "Heaven
Hell or Home" by Xmas, and that
sounds like business. One of the first
things I learned here was to count
the French money, that is the only
kind you can spend here. I understand
that we will be paid full amount due
us instead of just in part, as we were
told over there. We don't have any
trouble in getting all the necessities
to secure of a soldier hero at half what the^
(Letters from Will and Elmer 1
to their mother telling of their I
ing in Paris. France.)
My Denr Mother: I have just met
Elmer and we have spent the day to-
gether. He is leaving tomorrow morn-
ing for Englnnd so we decided wa
would each write you a little note
note while we were together.
We have spent the day having a
good talk. Tonight we went to a thea-
tre. Believe me I was certainly ha£py
to meet him. He got a leave from Eng-
land and came over to aee me. When I
got his telegrams I got a two days
leave and came in to see him. To-
morrow he goes back to England and I
go back to the front.
This has certainly been a great day
for us. I wish you could have been
with us.
Well mama, I won't write any morn
tonight but will write you a longer
letter very soon.
Lovingly your son,
WILL.
Dear Mother:
Well Mama, this has been the best
day I've had since leaving the States.
Of course you have already guessed—
| Will and I have spent the day togeth-
| er. It's now about one o'clock at night.
We almost missed each other though
as this was the last possible day I
could wait, but things finally came
around fine. You well know that it
was one great and rare pleasure to
rtleet again. When parting some three
and a half years ago, I'm sure neither
of us dreamed of such a happy meet-
ing in Paris. As stated before it has
been a great day talking things over,
telling experiences, etc.
In all this you can bet that you and
papa have been well remembered. I
suppose we have talked over most ev-
erything concerning home—and occas-
ionally bringing in a wish or two for
all concerned.
I won't try to make this a newsy
writing. We mostly wanted to send a
combination letter to you. The occa-
sion has been rare, and we hope for
more visits along every now and then
from now on.
With love and best wishes, to you,
papa and all, I am,
Your son,
ELMER.
Have You Placed Your Order
for a Fordson Tractor?
Better not wait. Give us your order at once and be sure of one out of first car
load.
We have been expecting our Demonstrator every day for a week. It was
shipped the 12th, and is sure to be here right away.

ABOUT WHEAT FOOD AND
WHEAT PLEDGES.
It has been announced that patriot-
ic people will continue the 50-50 plan
of food conservation. Mr. Hoover will
bhortly announce his future plans for
food conservation. Already it has been
deemeJ proper to rclaese all house-
wives from their i ledges to use no
wheat, which pledges were made last
spring. Bakers are required to con-
tinue the making of Victory bread on-
ly. Th!s bread contains 25 percent of
wheat substitutes. The chief idea to
consider at all times >n the future as
in the past, is the conservation of
wheat.
The above facts are set forth in a
letter from the Food Administration
to Mr*. Kliraoeth Dfront Home. Dem-
onstration Agent.
