You would not have known me, Dorothy, could you have seen me when I got off the train to come to this place. I had no chance to wash my hands, even, for two days and nights, and the coal smoke together with the car 1 was in certainly piled the dirt on.

"You may tell papa and, mother that it would have been very easy to imagine I was back in Kansas while coming here. The one thing differ ent particularly was the methods of farming. To harrow, they lead one horse, tie another to the one section so that the second section will be in line inside and outside. They string them five or six long that way. An other noticeable thing was the fine horses. Very seldom did you see u seedy looking animal. The cart, In stead of the two-horse wagon, Is un iversal. The horses are worked in tandem. , "What have you been doing all these many days, little Dorothy? Helping mother keep house, I sup pose, probably fixing papa's lunch in the morning and bothering him at night, when he wants to read his paper. "I must close now, sister, and write two or threo more letters. Write mo a good long letter In answer, then I will show It to you when Uncla Sam lets me come home. I hope the 'sick man' has left you alone as much as he has me. Goodnight, Dorothy, and all. Your brother, "LYNN." Mr1, and Mrs. W. J. Quackenbush of Talent recently received a letter from their son, Guy, a member of Co. E, 20th Engineers, 2nd Battalion, American E. F. in France. The young man states that he is well and getting along "fine and dandy," and con gratulates himself that he joined the army instead of the navy, as he want ed to some time ago. "I saw enougn of the navy coming across the pond," he related In his letter, "Gee, that was a hard old trip. I thought the old ship was going over every hour.

Ji Crok, the Inventor who, through his inventive genius, together with 15 years' experience, has been able, not only to solve the fuel problem, but to give to the public a clean, odorless, smokeless, scotless and positively harmless heating device. Three features are embodied In burning Hydro-Carbon gas: (1 Air and kerosene oil com bined with perfect combustion makes the hottest flame In the world. (2) Being so hot, It burns all IN "GO" ship. The water was In around pur beds, and some of the boys thought she was going down sure. I was sit ting out on deck the next day, when the ship made a big roll and I slid clear out to the railing. Thought I was going overboard sure. I didn't get seasick, though." The most of the boys on board suf fered terribly from this dire afflic tion, he said. "I ate three meals a Jays and slept every night that I could stay in bed. I rolled out two times in one night, so I didn't sleep much that night. One boy near me prayed all night, and that kept me awake. Shall never forget that trip. I did not want anyone to talk to me nor look at me while I was on that old ship. It wasn't seasickness, but just did not feel good. DRAFT AGK MAY HE RAISED TO 40 YEARS Washington, May 8.
