Letter from George Matthews. .Toe Smith and Warren Edwards to The Sen tinel: Somewhere in Belgium, Oet. 30.— We have received many letters from friends and relatives at Cottage Grove and we certainly enjoy them very much. The soldier boy in France considers a letter from home his best friend. W e have all been intending to write you a letter so that the people o f Cottage Grove could »ce how some o f us are getting along over here. We have changed our location consid erably, as you will note by the heading, and are now in the land that is sung about as “ The Belgian R o s e . " From personal observation I will sav that the ravages and destruction o f four years o f continuous warfare within her bor ders onuses it to present rather a dilap ¡dated aspect to the world, the bloom has faded and the leaves and branches have been stripped from the stalk. Where once were large forests are onlv a few dead tree* left standing with n few broken branches still hnnging on them. For several miles, wher» “ nn man a la nd’ ’ was a few weeks ago, there • re so many shell hole* that one eould not even find room to pitch a “ pup” tent. Words cannot eipreaa th« destruc- *ion that has taken place nnd it would oven bn hard for tho mind to imagine it, for until one hns seen the effects of war he has no conception of what re sults it enn produce. But amid it all you ought to see the •o7.y little room that the three o f us hnve fixed up. We are billeted iu n aar wrecked town but tho destruction tier« is not so great as is usunl. We are quartered in some of the better build -rigs and we have the best room in the buildings that our buneh in in. Not that tho condition o f it is any better, in fart the room adjoining this one is all shot ip, the wall» knocked down, and over ihe whole business the roof gives one ho impression o f a magnifying glass for the sky looks so big through it. But ac are rather secluded from the r*-t if the bunch and the privacy o f it is such as is seldom enjoyed in the army. Then we have it furnished with some .f the comforts o f homo ( ‘ ‘ salvaged ’ ’ from some poor old Belgian s home of four years ago). In fact I am sitting at i regular table in a regular chair and hav« one leg over the corner of th« table, which really makes mo think o f home for that was my most enjoyable ¡»isttiro when engaged in study or when Anting. Then, too, we have a clothes •abinet and although our beds are made in the stone fl«»ir they have sufficient •xeelsior under them to make them very much more comfortable than is often enjoyed over here. But the thing that adds the most cheer to this life is our stove. I never will forget that stove and i f it were not so heavy I would take it with me when We move. It is an open grate stove which produces that cheerful fireplace effect and Fritz very kindly left us a bounteous supply o f charcoal anti coal. I f he had done it purposely I would have hail to thank him. but as it is, we use it with the added pleasure o f knowing that he may be doing without.

N ot by making vast inroads into the capi tal wealth of the country, but largely by using, from year to year, a portion o f the profits, to provide for expansion. Swift 6k Company’s profits hav« always been so tiny, compared with sales, that they have had p ra ctic ally no effect on the price of meat (amounting to only a fraction of a cent per pound). And yet the owners of the business have been content with reasonable returns on their capita^ and have been able, year after year, to put part of the profits back into the business to provide for its expansion. These fractions of tiny profits have been repaid to to the public many fold in the form of better service, and better and cheaper meat, and made it possible for Swift & Company to meet, undaunted, the sudden cry for meat for overseas.
