jungles all by ourselves by an old

Jle is asleep, so it is pretty lone
some. t
I expect that the harvesting is
pretty well over with by now.
You should see them here. Then
isn't anything hardly and each
one has only about ten acres ami
cut it with a scythe or an old
reaper Uien thoy bind it by hand.
We leave more on the ground than
thev have before they sunt
harvesting.
It has been pretty warm hpre
for a week or more until yesterday,
it rained pretty near all day, it
is just nice and cool today.
The people here are behind the
times so far the never will catch
up. They never will know what
civilized country looks like. Ttiey

rPH IS American did not fail thot rendez

When he died the world lost a true poet. His
death brings out in sharp relief how much one
soldier who is lost to us one man killed may
mean to the world. .
So let us keep our rendezvous at home our rendez
vous with life. Let us look into our lives, our households,'
and see that they are mobilized Tor war. Let us save
our money to save these men who daily Ijave rendezvous
with death. Let us keep our rendezvous with life and
help them to win through and to come bec'; to sunshine
and happiness and home with victory on; their banners.
