There's no dark secret about the ait To tne President of the United States: of writing a successful real estate ad. ' Dear Sir: Perhaps you will think Just tell the truth all of it that's me presumptuous to write a letter to what prospective buyers want to find yui but we are a11 one thing loyal in your ad.

The tall one is Louis, 21 years old, weight 185 pounds, height 6 feet lj inches. All I ask is that you return the picture after you are done with it, as I may never get another one. Mr. Wilson, it makes me angry o .hear some women talk. ' They "say, "Oh, Mrs. Meyer, how can you stand it to "see' your big.' strong boys go away. It would kill me if .mine would have to go,'?, and so forth, I tell them that' my boys are not cowards, that they volunteered as my father and brother did in the sixties.'and that if 'such iboys as mine did not go, who would go? The cripples, lame, or blind ?. Mine are perfect in health and mind, being clean, pure country boys. 1 1 have still another son who would en j list if I would-give my consent He is but 151 years old, but tall and strong. But his father is growing old ,and iwe need him to work the farm pf 100 acres. If the war "does not end soon, and he is needed, badly, I must let him go, but just now I think I have done my share, don't you? We preach patriotism to our children at home and in the schools, ami then when the country needs them, let them hide 1 behind our 'backs (n6t I) and ask them , to be exempt, as one of my neighbors did whose son was working away from home, but came home to help pop on the farm ami fired the hired man to make room for the son, a large, husky boy of 21, like my tall one. If you have the time, Mr. Wilson, and want to see a healthy man, go to Company D, Sixth Regiment, just arrived from Columbus, Ohio, and ask for the brothers Fred and Louis Meyer, Am bulance Corps. And don't forget, please to return my treasures (the pictures) and oblige. And now ono word more. I highly approve of what you have done, name ly,' sending troops over the water to put 'down the rebellion and stop this war business, this slaughter of the in nocents. I took my sons iro my arms asked God to bless them, told them to be true to their country and not forget their mother. MRS. LOUIS MEYER. R. F. D. No. 2, Wheeling, W. Va. The b h-r'T ... RATES ..

Interesting news of Mr. and Mrs. C, S. Jackson is contained in a letter which Mrs. Jackson recently sent to a Pendleton friend. Mrs. Jackson, with her husband, is at present so journing at White Sulphur Springs, where Mr. Jackson is slowly recuper ating from his recent illness. He is now able to take short rides hut spends most of his time in his room. In speaking of the effect that war is having on the eastern hospitals and their staffs of doctors and surgeons, Mrs. Jackson declares that Dr. Huch Young, the world famous specialist who operated on Mr. Jackson, left the day following for France, taking with him 65 trained nurses and in conse quence, Johns Hopkins' staff was so reduced that only crippled orderlies were available to wait on Mr. Jackson and that she, herself, did most of his nursing. Philip Jackson is expecting his appointment to the Harvard sup ply transportation corps at an early date and Mrs. Jackson states that Dean Fay believes the corps will be in France when the bulk of the U.
