Deathcr and Mothers I received i,
your two letters and bundle of papers
all O. K. I
I expect you think it is high time
that I wrote but one can't nnto very
well at sea, and I haven't had time
till now since we got into port.
How is everybody at homo" Am
feeling fine myself; I didn't set sea
sick so I guess I will make a first-rate
sailor with time.
I don't remember calling Lee a
"doughboy " as I have known all
along what to call him. "Leather
necks'' in the navy are Marines.
Joining the hospital corps seems to
be a fad in La Grande. Some of them
will find its a sorry fad. They will
wish manv a time that they were in
the regular army or navy. Why dpn't
some of those machinists enlist in mc
nnw instead of iroinir in as a pri
vate in the army or where they oniy
get about $30.00 a month and work
both day and night. 1 am getting my
SK2.nn. nd I am not working any
harder than I ever did and will have it
easier yet when I get settled down.
I also enjoy privileges wnicn inose
fellows will never hear of.
Well I will close now.
Your loving son,
WILLIAM.
p, s. You can publish this letter if
you want to. If there is anything you
omnt. in know don't be afraid to ask;
asking questions is a gift in the navy,
so speak up.
I Bent a plum-bob and a steel rule
to you a few days before I sailed, did
you got them? If you did you didn't
say so, something which you want to
be sure and do as that is the only wav
for ine to tell whether they get there
or not. Don't torget tnis no maum
what it is. Please send me my small
loose-lenf notebook.

Advertising An Investment
From a little talk by Don
Francisco at a Los Angeles
Ad Club Luncheon:
NY man who has any
thing to sell faces the
problem of getting his in
vitation to buy before the
largest number of prospec
tive buyers. Printed adver
tising is the quickest and
least expensive method, and
this holds true whether your
invitation is to eat breakfast
food, buy automobiles or
attend a masquerade'
