SOLDIERS' LETTERS $$4$S S S $ ApVll 19, 1918. Dear Mamma and Papa: "Some where In France," sunny France, al though it was snowing wheh we got up this morning. The snow did not last long, however, and did not In terfere with our regular morning hike. We are at the same place that I wrote my last letter, and this la here. At present it looks as If the Rolluvcs Gas iu the Stomach, Sour Stomach ( heat rt burn), Belching, Swelling and Full-Feeling, so fre quently com pljii nod of after meals, In' TWO MINUTES. Trial package 15c at your druggist or mailed to any ad dress upon receipt of price by The Kollingham Chemical Co., Belllng luun, Wash. the longest stay we have made in any one place. I have been out on pass several times, in the city, quije a numDeri of these people speak English, espe cially the children, who in many cases have learned it from the sold iers. There is a number of points of Interest around here, to tourists, and ye havo seen osme of them on our hikes. There lsa number of nice stores, especially the meat shops, they al ways have a nice window display of meats, cheese, sausages, etc. Candy Is a scarce article, but there seems to be plenty of other 'foods, although the French people are on rations, of course. We have had quite a little of their "Victory bread" and it does not differ greatly from the English war bread and tastes something like rye bread. Bread is never wrapped here, the. people cary it under their arm or dumped In wagons like cord y.ood. Wood Is an expensive article here, and Is conserved to the limit, even small switches and twigs are used for fuel. Meals, In restaurants and hotels, cost 1xk francs, or a lit tle more (43 to 60c and it takes about 2 hours to get a meal. There are ice ceram cones stands galore, the cones are In the shape of a rowboat and hold about two thimbleful. The ice cream is llko frozen snow, without too much flav oring; they cost 1.7c each. Later, Dawson, and I have been out on a pass to get a typewriter fixed. We bought some cookies, call ed American cookies, that I don't thlrik ever saw America, and they tasted like they were flavored wltn soap! ' , , There are a good many French soldiers here, and occasionally we see Russian or Belgian soldiers. The French are not very friendly toward the Russians, and I was surprised to find that the Belgians are not held n very high esteem; the Australians were first to tell us of this. We have something to look for ward to today pay day and mail, we have not been paid yet or had an mail I was on fatigue yesterday and we hauled up several carloads of food fronr the depot. I don't think there Is any danger of Uncle Sam's army starving, in France any way. We get very little news of the fighting Germans had been victorious in the last battle, but there is no excite ment noticeable among he people, no lack In the confidence of the al lied armies to hold, and eventually win and a general feeling of early victory is prevalent everywhere, ye get our news from the European ,( Paris) editions of the big American dallies. Lawson, Treve Lumsden, a Hillah Shrlner from Medford, and I were In the local branch of the Barque de France this afternoon, it does not compare with a modern American bank. They have a girl there who speaks English and they make a spe cialty of changing American money. The French have paper bills as small as 50 centimes (about 9c). Both the Correct Lubrication for the Valve-ia-HcadType Motor The Valve-in-head-type en gine illustrated here, like all internal combustion engines, requires an oil that holds its lubricating qualities at cyl inder heat, burns clean in the combustion chambers and goes out with exhaust. Zerolene fills these require ments perfectly, because it is correctly refined from selected California asphalt-base crude T '.tub tea The Standard Oil for Motor Cars It Keeps the EngineYoung! Experts agree in recommending ZEROLENE because it keeps the engine young, f ull-powered, smooth-running, and economical in fuel and oil consumption. The majority of motorists are now using ZEROLENE, because they have learned by experience that there is -no better oil to be had. . Correctly refined from selected California asphalt-base crude, ZEROLENE gives perfect lubrication with less wear and less carbon deposit. Less wear because ZER OLENE keeps its lubricating body at cylinder heat. Less carbon because, being made from asphalt-base crude, it burns clean and goes out with exhaust.

I spend the first anniver sary of my advent Into the army in French train all day. After a night in one of these compartments with seven others, a fellow feels like a sardine looks! Europe Is about 20 (or 200) years behind the times, the street cars look like the old cars that used to operate between Medford and Jack sonville Httle short cars with the wheels In the middle, and rock like a hobby horse. We see American products every where. Gillette and Star razors, Universal food choppers, Carnation and many other brands of condensed milk, American shoes, Harrison Fish er's postals, and Btacks of other things. We were in a hardware store this afternoon. They sell nails, even Ss and 10s in "pill" boxes, In lots of about 2c worth. I don't know what they would do if they got an order for a keg, as I doubt if there I3 that many in town. There Isn't any use to go to a bar ber shop (choiffer) for a shave as they make you wasli your own face after they have run the razor over your race: , Well, I must stop and work a lit tle on my gun before inspection in the morning., I have had a ravenous rppetlte since we came here and have been eating like a logger. Am wear ing a pair of logger's shoes with hob nails In them, size 15, weight 50 pounds! No wonder I have an ap petite! Good night, HAROLD. cars everywhere, and I am tempted to swipe one and take a spin. I haven't run a car since last July. We just had supper beefsteak, gravy, potatoes, lettuce, bread and coffee, some feed,-eh? We have had plenty to eat since we reached this place, but part of. the time on the ship we didn't fare so well, and 1 don't believe the English know what a really good meal is. There Is an old stone bridge here that was built along about 150 A. D. (or thereabouts). Its surely an old timer, but looks like It was good for a couple of thousand more years. There is a cathedrdl here, too, one that tourists come miles to see. It is also very old, and of wonderful architecture. The windows are said to be as great as any in existence. We have not seen the Interior yet, but hope we may be able to do so. w We have been down to the river several times on our hikes, and al ways there have been women wash ing on flat stones at the water's edge. They rub the clothes right on the rocks, and heat them with large wooden paddles. The clothes appear quite clean after they are hung out. Considering the water they are-washed In is dirty, and out In the country where they are away from the rive" they have small reservoirs to wash in. They resemble mud holes much more than they do wash' basins. More mail just came another let ter. "Everybody is joyful at mail time. The grass is green and quite long and there is lettuce, radishes and on ions on the market In large quanti ties, but the trees have not begun tp leaf out 7et. The evenings are cool and the days cloudy, so it does not much resemble spring. Lawson and I visited the public market this afternoon. There was a considerable quantity of early vege tables, a few stands of dates, figs, prunes, etc.; several selling French wines, some miscellaneous articles, i,f fuiiv ha f were meat soons ui shops with rabbits or fish.' The meat shops Invariably have an attractive display, not only ol meat, but of cheese (goat milk cheese), sardines, weenies and sausages of more kinds than I ever Imagined existed. The fish markets were interesting, sever al different kinds of fish displays, nong of which were familiar to me (except eels). I don't mean I'm fam iliar with eels, but . We couldn't ask anything about them, although the salespeople were willing enough to explain and jab-1 bered away at length. The rabbits were dressed and we were In doubt as to exactly what they were, so fin ally Lawson waved his hands beside his head, lke rabbit ears and Jump ed up and down, and the people fcll "laughed and said, "Wee, monsuier, wee, wee, wee! The French are like the Hebrews, Just as good as deaf and dumb, If you tie their hands. There is hardly any theatres in this place think I've only seen two. Perhaps If Mary Elckford or Charlie Chaplin would come over here, busi ness would pick up. There was a cir cus in town, when we first arrived, a one-horse affair that wouldn't even interest the kids In America. Must close and get my bunk ready before lights go out. Love, HAROLD. France, April 26, 1918. bear Mamma and Papa: Spring seems to have come at last. For to day's weather would he hard to beat, even in Oregon. We were out for a hike this morning, and the country was surely beautiful, while we took a long hike It was enjoyable and whan we got .back Glenn's letter, written March 17, was waiting for me. So you see It had been a Ions time on the road. We were glad to get that letter for it was the first direct news we had had from Fort Stevens since we left. Later we were out to a ball game, first battalion vs. base hospital. The first battalion won 6 to 7. There was perhaps 103 French people out there, and they had more fun listening to the crowd holler "kill the umpire" than they did In watching the game. We march ed In formation through the city with the band at the head of the column and had a crowd of spectators watch- ing us all along the line of march. Our censorship Is very close, so It (Continued on page 7.) "Gets-Ii" 2 Drops Then f 0 the Danco !

' The United States 'Department of Agriculture reported in 1916 that the farmer gets,for his cattle "approximately two-thirds to three-fourths" of the final retail price paid by the consumer for the resulting beef. . Under normal conditions, the farmer's share of retail prices of various farm products is approx imately as follows: Butter - CATTLE Eggs Potatoes Poultry Fruits 71 per cent 66. to '75 percent 65 per cent v 55 per cent 45 per cent 35x per cent The difference between farmer's price and retail price represents the necessary expenses of packing, freight and wholesale and retail distributioa Swift & Company not only performs the manufac turing operations of preparing cattle for market in its well-equipped packing plants, but it pays the freight on meat to all parts of the United States, operates 500 branch distributing houses, and in most cases even delivers to the retail butcher. - All this is done at an expense of less than 2 cents per pound, and at a profit of only about of a cent per pound of bee Large volume of business and expert manage ment, make possible this indispensable service to the live-stock reiser and to the consumer,, and make possible the large proportion of retail prices received by farmers.
