The following letter rocelvod by
Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Cross from
Ralph Postnn, was written beforo the
corps left Lour Island:
Camp Mills, Hempstead, L. I., N. Y.
November 16, 1917.
Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Cross, (
La Grande, Oregon. -.
Dear Friends;
I received your most welcome let
ter this afternoon. I nlways enjoy
reading youiv letters so much. It
reminds mo of the times I havo spent
around you.- hearth enjoying a spicy
talk, when thore was two feet of
snow on the ground outside. I also
remember the times I have spent
around your table loaded with good
thing3 to eat. Especially the sour
cream biscuits. I often-tlines think
of those times.
I am glad you enjoy my letters,
for if you didn't I wouldn't feel lif.e
writing. How Is Mr. Cross' health
this fall? I oftentimes think of
him and his stories that lie used to
toll me of tho Civil War. 1 expect
to experience somewhat the same ex
periences before I get through.
Yes, Indeed I think both of you
are mighty loyal Americans. If all
the rest of tho hundred million wore
as loyal as you two, Uncle Sam would
never havo to worry one bit.
Every time I read your lettor I
don't know what to do. I have half
a notion to put it on the bulletin
board, for the whole company to read
tor-it has men good advice In It. It
would cortuinly be an inspiration for
any one to read. If every American
BOldier got a letter like that before
he wont into the fight, I am sure
it would put n great deal more self-
reliance and respect Into him. That
letter I shall keep as long as thore
Is any of it to keep, for It for it np
plles not only to military lifo but
civilian ulo.
I am afraid that I shall not bo
able to hear any of the great singer.-,
for we are kept pretty close to quar
ters now. In 48 hourb we may bj
bound for "somewhere." Tomorrow
everything goes to the boat except
our personal things we are going to
take along with us so that does not
indicate long stay in U. S. A. for
does it? I am wondering if I
will get sea-sick. I certainly hope
not.
I think niothnr is worrying quite a
bit about mo. Every once in a while
her letters Indicate that and grand
mother said In one of her letters that
she was. I wrote a letter telling hcr
not to worry for there is nothing
gained by it, except nervousness and
3he is nervous enough. I don't want
any ono to worry about mo. Of
course, that Is not saying that I (lou t
want any one to take any Interest in
mo. But I think you know how it is.
I don't doubt that your fuel will
cost considerable this winter.
I have hcurd that Long Island is

HOW HE SAW THE LIGHT
Farmer, Unresponsive to Government
Suggestions, Changes When He
Understands Purpose.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 22. (By
Mail.) Out in Nebraska a county
agent had experienced much difficulty
in interesting a certain farmer in pro
posed agricultural improvement cam
paigns. This farmer, who was of
much influence , in tho community,
considered his own individual success
u proof that Government cooperation
with f.irmeni ia entirely unnecessary
A special representative of the ex
tension office of the United' States
Department of Agriculture who vis
ited that section was told of the c:ise
by tho county ;.;;ont. IIo went to
the fnrmer and t'oipid him col-J und
unresponsive.
"You are standi nj in the vray of
your country when your country is
at war," said tho unseirJ 'n(,'C,ii to the
farmer ffnaliy. "Do you . rc.Ui.e
that? '
"No," said tho fnrnicr, "I hadn't
thought of it thiit way.
"Well, do think of it that way
awhile," suggested! the .special uijcnt.
The man who doesn't help his
country at this limn is hurting hi
country, and to hurt your country
when your country is at war mf a
pretty bad thing to do, don't you
think so:1'
"You bet I do," said the farmer,
thawing out for the first time dur
ing the interview, iou uon t ininii
I an! that kind of a man, do you '
I'll do anything for my country. I'll
fight "
Here's Your Chance
"All right," said the agent. "Hero'B
your chance. See that your farm
and all the farms in your county in
crease their yields and their culti
vated acreage. It isn't .pictu .'CSiUo
but it is service- real service, great
nnd genuine service. Now that's
what tho Government wants you to
do. That's the purpose of those
special county organisations. That's
what these, emergency comity agents,
liko the one in this county; are urg
ing. What about it? Your country
wants you to help. Kithir you
will or you won't and if you won't
help your own country, you are in
directly helping tho enemy, What
your country wants you to do is to .
plant more land, specialize on certain -production.
' It is all figured out to
harmonize with a great national pro
grain, scientifically " and efficiently
arranged. The community organ
izations, cooperating in each com
munity throughout the United States
arc essential to the realization of
this national plan and that plan is
absolutely, necessary of accomplish-.
ment if wo are to win the war. Now
wo are trying to organize this coun
try in harmony with this plan. You
havo opposed it, Didn't you Beo what
that means?" ' ,
"When is that county mooting?"
asked the farmer. :
"Tonight."
"I'll be there tonight and mako a
speech. You are mighty right. I
hadn't thought of it that way. . You'll
never have another chance to in- ,
sinuate that I am not with my coun
try in this war. ' :.'.

Typewriter Service
in Rural Communities
The typewriter is coining into more extended use in rural com- .
munities because of the assistance it renders to all classes of
people. Here are a few examples of the possibilities of service: .
Tlie Farmer : Think of the possibilities of selling produce by the means
ii.iimi.m.... of typewritten letters sent out to customers? Type- .
written letters give the sender a business standing .with the people who
receive them and also enable the keeping of carbon copies of the correspon-
dence, which many times docs away with misunderstandings and lawsuits.
The General Store Merchant : M prompt arul courteous treat-
' ' mcnt is likely to be accorded his
orders and correspondence with the City jobber and manufacturer if his letters
arc typewritten.
Xn The Home : The boy or girl who 13 intending to follow a business '
" in " earner cm secure no better start than a knowledge of
typewriter operating. Children v.Iio Ir.-irn to use the typewriter learn spelling
at the same time. The housewife finds it a great convenience in writing
recipes and fur general correspondence. , .
The Minister : N Clergyman should be without a typewriter. It is .
' i of great asi:,suuice in preparing sermons and writing
the many Utters that a pastor his to write. . .
