J Charlie King, of Hot Lake, lias two nephews who are "doing their bit" for the old country. Neither of them are 20 years old yet. One of them has been on the western front (somewhere in France) on the tiring line two years and eight months and last month he had his first furlough, six days, in which to visit his parents in Eng land. In a recent letter he says that on his trip across the English channel they steamed quite close to the fleet of transports carrying the troops of the first United States' contingent He says it was a magnificent spec tacle in mid-channel, just after day break, and as long as the transports and the steamer he was on were pass ing each other, volley after volley of ringing cheers echoed from ship to ship. As the boy proudly remarks he was the "first to welcome the 'Sammies' to European waters. In one portion of his letter he states: "It was grand to be home again if only for a few days, and the worst of it is where we have been on the front during the past eight months, it is so "monotonous"; and I had not seen a civilian in that length of time. It is impossible to describe the state of destruction the Huns have left tho country in after we drive them out of it." "Oh!" says he, "if Russia had on ly 'played the game we should be n great way on towards the finish, but 1 we are now looking forward to Uncle Sammje's boys to more than equalize the failure of Russia to carry on. We are strictly forbidden to collect, or send away any souvenirs of the front, , either German or Allies, or I would send some by the American Express company whose office I saw in Paris, j I expect iwe shall spend another win ter in the trenches and it is wonder ful how the boys survive through the bitterly cold weather. The next will be my fourth winter in France. I would be delighted if you would give me some names oi ooys wno are com ing out here, for I might run across some of them any day and I am glad this boys from around your district were so quick to answer the call and be registered. " i Mr. King's other nephew is on the .battleship "Monarch" (somewhere in the "North Sea) and as tho sailors are only permitted to write one page to each letter, and the young aai'.ur still writes in a large round schoolboy" hand, ho is not able to furnish much information from the navy. How ever he was in the big "Jutland" naval battle and came through without a iicratch, although his ship was struck many times by all kinds of shot and Bhell. He naively remarks in a letter: "It was my first 'scrap' Uncle and I wasn't frightened, but ' was mighty glad when it was all over."

Cattle. , There were signs of a developing weakness in the cattle market through out the day which bids fair to shade the prices at the opening of tomor row's market. The yards were cleared but trading did not close until late in the day and the buyers who were present seemed to he indifferent. . . - . Hogs The hog market, however, was look ing in the opposite direction and the activity was rather interesting to on lookers, although the buyers succeed ed in getting away with the day's run without any change of figures:, the market closed pointing upward.
