Navy Training Station, - San Francisco, Calif. ' i . August 11, 1917. J Dear Mother: Your card received last night and also your letter a few days ago. I can't understand why you didn't get my last letter which was -written over a week ago. f No, I haven't been sick, in fact, I am feeling fine. Don't worry abofit me for if I should get very sick you will be notified. That was sure a dandy letter you wrote me. It sure takes the blueness out of a fellow and gives, him the right spirit to know ha1 has a dear mother and folks and a home to fight for. I guess I told you in my other let ter that I passed my first class ex amination all 0. K. so you little sai lor son is now a firstJclass man. It will increae my pay two and half dol ing a month. Every hit helps you know. I don't think I will get a furlough for many things regarding the rules and regulations of the navy have changed since the war and they can't let all the fellows go home , on a month's furlough for they need the training. The only way we can get to come is in case some one in the family is sick and then we are given a leave of absence for a week or so. it I get transferred to Bremerton though, I might be able to come homo for a day or so. . Yes, I would like to go to Hono lulu or Corveda in the Philippine Is lands. About 25 left from the school last Monday for the Philippine Islands. They get three days liberty in Hono lulu. Won't that be great and are 30 days en route. ' Well, mother, everything on the is-J i i it i:n lunu is ruuier quiui luutty us una 10 shore liberty day. I am still at the dispensary and like it pretty good. Lots of interesting work to do. M'ell the Klines that Douglas i's well and also passed the first class exami nation. A Are the fellows still there or have they left? I hope they come down here before I leave so I can run out and see them. Alfred, sent me a picture of the bunch. Gee, but it seems good to gaze on their faces again. How are Ha and Ad and Minnie? Tell them hello for me. I would write them a letter but I have so many to write and nothing to write about sd will "let this one do for all.' Answer soon. v Your loving son, - .VINTON. DOING THEIR DUTY.

I . am extra fortunate in having about two thousand tons of strictly number one leafy alfalfa hay to dispose of. I can bcII the same within ten days to bo shipped away, but much prefer to sec the sheep and cattle carried through until spring, ns I realize that there will be a big stock loss the coming fall and winter unless properly fed. I can furnish feed ground for tho most of this hay. You can ship your stock to Portland via tho O.-W. R. & N. on a 'feed in transit" rate, and stop and feed my hay with no extra charge. Hay will be $25.00 before January first. You can get this hay from me, if you speak in time, for $20.00 per ton. First come, first served. Phone or Write E. G. Burlingame, Farmer.
