"Just a few words to let .you know
I arrived safely this morning at Liver
pool. Oct. 7, after a very trying trip
across the Atlantic, Mr. Bridges wrote.
From some cause or other no regimen

got to sea an epidemic of Spanish in
fluenza spread through the ship, and
with no regular doctors or nurses nor
supplies to handle the cases you can
imagine our predicament.

poor boys, and I know my efforts have
aot been in vain.
-One burial we held at night during
an awful storm and an officer held a
torch while I read the services. The
Church of England burial service was
used. The only fear I experienced was
that I would not last until we reached
port.
"Yesterday (Sunday), to make mat
ters worse. Just as we were approaching
the Irish coast, an awful storm burst
and for hours we thought the ship
would never weather. The life boats
were washed away, doors and port
holes blown in as if they were match
wood. The saloon, cabins, furniture,
everything, mangled men here, there
there and everywhere dishes, food,
bedding, all over; up to our waists in
water; several men were carried over
board and lost; many very seriously
hurt with fractured skulls, broken
legs. arms, heads cut and bruised shoul
ders dislocated and with only the ship's
officers to help us. Though so many
were hurt I came through without a
cratch."
In a letter written on the 15th of the
same month he says again of the trip:

In danger of foundering. The water
rushed in in torrents and very soon
we were up to our knees in water with
everything floating around.
"The ship's officers thought our ship
could not be saved and put on their
lifebelts. I had not bothered with mine
until then I had been so busy; but
when I saw them put on theirs
I thought I might as well get one for
myself. Just then a man who had been
badly hurt called for help and I forgot
all about my belt. Fortunately I did not
need it for in about two hours our
commander steered the ship in
smoother waters and we were safe
from that danger.
British Officers Brave.
"I feel that I must say a word or
two in praise of the splendid courage
and heroism of the British officers in
charge of our ship and the officers and
crews of the destroyers who did such
noble work for us during the whole
voyage.
"The American soldiers on board
were very brave, not the least sign of
fear or panic, each one more than will

little of himself. They will make splen

V (Special.) An unusual coincidence
was reported here with the cessation
of hostilities in the great world war
at the eleventh hour of the eleventh
day of the eleventh month. At Just
that moment S3 years ago Mr. and Mrs.
James H. McFarland, of this city, be
came man and wife.
Probably such a coincidence never
occurred in the history of the world
and probably never will occur again.
At least, Mr. and Mrs. McFarland are
certain that it never will again oc
cur with them.
This is not the only peculiar thing
in the lives of this couple, who are
now aged 73 and 71 years, respectively.
Both came across the plains. They
grew up together, went to school to
gether and their pdstoffice address
since marriage has never changed.
They live on a portion of the do
nation claim taken up by Mr. McFar
land s father, John W. McFarland, and
of the six children born to them all
are living. They are Mrs. W. W.
Chrisman, Charles, Wilbur, Frank,
Warren and Miss Myrtle, and all are
residents of this community. All mem
bers of the family are enjoying good
health and Mr. and Mrs. McFarland
report the happiest anniversary of their
married life.

How to make a Soldier happy
Suppose you were in an American Training
Camp. Suppose you had just come in from a
long hike to find that the ''Mail-man" had left
you a fine box of Owls or White Owls. You'd
know you had a real friend, wouldn't you ?
So why not send your "Soldier-in-America"
a box of Owls or White Owls ? Or better still,
why not send him a box regularly every so
often. You couldn't pick cigars that would
give more real dependable pleasure first pop
ont of the box or last. And why ? Because
the dependable fragrance of Owl and White
Owl is guaranteed by a leaf-reserve always
worth nearly $2,000,000.
