Chalmers Giffen is having troubles of
his own now days. Santa Fe Agent
Hinton is off the job on account of the
flu and as the company had no relief
agent available, Chalmers was "drafted
for the work. The government has a
way of getting men when they want
[ them and it doesn’t make much differ-
1 ence whether a fellow wants the job o<
not when “Uncle” calls. Chalmers is
making a noble effort to run the store

time and seems to be getting along very
well with both jobs.

Dear Father and Mother: —
Your letter received today and was
very glad to hear from you. I received
a letter from Theo yesterday He is
well and says he is having a fine time.
From the looks of the papers 1 am
afraid the war will be over before 1 get
a chance to go over. O well, I guess I
will be just as well off if I never get to
go across, but I sure would like to have
gone over.
I have been cooking today—just fin
ished up my work and now I won’t have
anything to do until day after tomorrow.
Cooking is the easiest job in the army
and we have four K. P.’s to wash the
pans and dishes. I cooked French fried
potatoes for supper and if I do say it
myself, they were certainly good. The
boys were all telling me tonight that
hey were the best French fries they
ever ate. That made me feel like I was
some cook, ha, ha. We had hot cakes
for breakfast and, believe me, it is some
jol) cooking hot cakes for 150 men. 1
was in town last night and there was an j
extra come out that peace had bet n de-
clared. Everyone in town nearly went
wild. Bells were ringing, whistles were
blowing and the people were hollowing
but it never excited me very much for
it sounded too good to be true. 1 don't;
think the Germans can bold out much '
longer. I sure will be gl.nd when it is
over.
There is lots of influenza out here. I

1 could see the cotton opening and tie
leaves turning brown. Don’t worry
about me for should anything occur 1
can send you a telegram for 99c. I'll
write every weei mnl you do the same,
but my letters may not always strike a
boat, then they l.\y over and you will

9 OUT OF 10 HENS LAYING EVERY DAY
Mr. Boros Had a Run-Down Lot, But Now They’re
Healthy and Laying
"My hens were in a very poor condition; had,colorless combs, and were not lay-
. ing at all. In less than three weeks from tho time 1 started feeding them Don
Sung. I began to receive a nice lot of egr each day, and am now receiving, on the
average, eggs from nine-tenths of my hens every day. —John Boros R. F. D. i.
Mt. Pleasant, Mich.
People whose hens are run-down and not laying can get them in good condition,
•tart them Ikying, and keep them pn, in- ail winter Accept our offer as Mr. Bojos
did. Here it is: •
Give your hens Don Sung and yvalch resuh - for one month. If you don’t find
that Don Rung pays for itself uml pays yon i good profit besides simply tell us
and your money will be refunded. •
Don Sung (Chinese for egg laymg • ,rl directly on the ggg-laying organs,’and
is also a splendid toni. It is easily g.veii ,n the feed, improves the hen’s health,
makes her stronger and more active in any weather, and starts her laying.
* Try Don Sung for to days and if it doesn't get you the eggs, no matter how
cold or wet the weather, your money will be refunded.

My Dear Father, Mother and Sister;
How I laughed when 1 received your
letter. It was the first since June. Yoot
scolded because I did not answer when
I wrote every day like unto this. Ar-
rived here today, leave tomorrow, and
by the way never a word from anybody
until I just raved out lofid. Attended
mass and gave the Priest three pennies
to pray for a shower of letters and fin*
ally one came. 1 will write some more
today. You don’t know hr#w much bet-
ter I feel over your letter. I wonder if
you have received all my letters telling
you how these people live, dress, etc. I
don’t like France—1b that plain? Their
country looks like Canada, i. c.. vegtsta
wliat they see are often
vague at first they soon get tlie habit
of observation which develops Into
taste and, In a goodly number of cases,
becomes a study.
