Carl Huston Says Iloya Expect to
See Trench Life Soon.
S. B. Huston. Portland attorney, has
received a letter from his son, Carl,
who Is now In France, which tells of
the life In "rural community where
he is billeted."
"It Is mighty Interesting here." he
writes, "as the life is so different from
the city. Since there have been very
few troops here, the prices of every
thing are fairly reasonable. Thursday
was a big French fete day, celebrating
the feast of the Ascension and the
populace from miles around came to
see the Americans drill. Many of them
had never seen an American before.
"Being a rural community, there are
many old customs still in vogue that
incite no little interest. For instance,
when anything new happens, the peo
ple are made acquainted with it by
the town crier,' who goes around beat
ing a drum and crying out the news.
There are practically no four-wheeled
wagons here, all high-wheeled carts.
The French are adept at balancing the
loads so that the horse hasn't much
weight on his back. Donkeys and
burros are used Instead of horses.
Goat's milk is used quite freely and
Isn't bad at all. The people are fine
to us and quite sociable.

ting the company in shape "so that
