From France Ket up out of our warm blanket' many it night and hunt a dup out for mffty while using his li eight inch guns on us, but they never put the fear mine hs the night of tlio nir raid. I cannot explain to yon ho 1 felt that night There were inn Hif us in the dug out and we were ul! crowded up in one corner. I don't know by we all win ted to be together no cloe unless it was nature to be close to one another. You could have heard a pin drop, thinu were so quiet. I guess we were waiting for the next one to get our little home, and we all expected everyone to get Us too. Jerry would comooyer with a load, open the tail gate and turn about n dozen lose, then go hack after an other load. Ae kept it up nil night and also gave us a shelling v lth his big gun. That was night of hell. I was sure glad when morning came, ' I canfttaml his gun anil shells but the air planes and bombs will put the fear in the best of them. 1 never want to pntMn another night likn that. How we ever came through that night alive, I don't know. There must have been someone praying for our safety and the good Lord answered them. I prayed thai night if I never did before, for 1 was sure that morning would see me well on my way u the othei world. I must change the subject or Twill be getting shell shocked thinking of it. ( When I arrive home I will lei you my experience while in thh land of hull. I would like to send you a picture of no nian'B hind while Jerry's big shells were burs) ing on it, for telling or writing you would not be like Boning a picture of the real thing which I have Seen with my own eyes. I wish. you could have Been some of the thing I have, What I have gone through here I would not lake a million dollars for, nor would giye a cent to go through again.

K. F. near Thiaucaurt, France January 4, 1J1'J. , Mr. E, M. Ilartman. Dear Friend, Your letter hhd some tinie in finding me. I was only three weeks iu my old company after landing here iu France. I was then transferred to the 28th Di vision, Co. L 111 Inf. That was September 12. We were then sent in the Argonne woods; we lay there under shell fire till Septem ber 24, and then went to the front I whs made cook September 2otb. We were iu the Argonne drive fourteen days. That was my first experience in battlo with the Hun. I saw some very pitiful sights and was once or twice in a few hot places myself. We then left the Argonne front and came to tho fit. Mihiel front where we were when the armistice was signed and we are still here on the lame front in an old Ger man camp. It waB on this front that I saw my first air raid By the' Huns. And when those bombs J hit they made, our old dug out : rock like a baby carriage. The next morning 1 was out scouting aroudd the place lyid saw where one had hit about 50 yards from our kitchen. It left a hole about 20 feet deep in the ground, Thati was the wort night 1 have put in, while here. Jerry h is made us , Bang! Bang! Bang! The first shots of the Maupin Trap Club were filed promptly at 2 o'clock last Sunday when Hood and Williams trotted out their respect i ve sluoters. "I'ull, hung, Hufl, dead." Afler I he smoke hud cleared iiwhv Hood's chmilers. with their Meel nerves, quick nnd unerring judgement, and unfalter ing actions had' won the turkey dinner by a very close margin of five birds. James walked sway with high gun. Fischer has a nice collection of goose eggs (for sale, proeeeda to" go to the club). The e.licient work of the referee and scorer made the contest a com plete Bucrss. At seven the dinner was served at the 'Kelly' and after a brief discussion of how it all happened a meeting was called and the fol lowing were elected : Bates Shat tuck, piesident; A. L. Ander-on, vice president nnd reporter; Fred Mood, secretary; J. V. McGhissen, treasurer; and John Williams field captain. The regular shoot will lake place l'Vhiuary Come out and watch this match as it in joing to he for blood. James will defend his high gun nntl he will Hire have some competition. fm Cans, Etc. There was one man in Maupin who had a plan in his head, a iood one 'too, and been alriuht if he here, hut when he put that plan into action the results were similar o poking your finger, into a hor ie,t's nest. Some of the citizens were 1911th to part with any of heir real estate. 1 wonder if they would seriously object to the enioving of some of the tin cans, -oxes and other rubbish Hint is cattered oyer the town and is so obnoxious to the eyes of the Strang nr. Of course we citizeens are used to such sights as these and lon't mind it, but when the visit or says you would have quite a decent town here if vou would work your streets and clean up" it makes you feel rather ashamed that you are living here. v Citizen. STREET WORK 0N HERE This Morning The subject of street improve ment hai been agitated this week to the degree fhat pledges amount ing to about $150 have been made for the grading and bringing to a creditable surface of the street between the Maupin Garage and John Donaldson's residence.
