Roeebarg, Oregon fared better than many In th com pany but 111 not say It In a bragging way aa there may be a pick and shovel awaiting me at any time. There la no need tor you folks to worry about my safety as I am far better off than If I were In the cop per mine at Butte for instance. Also I want to say a good word for the Y. M. C. A. and the Salvation Army here, in furnishing places for the man to buy . knlcknackt and write etc. You can not Imagine how popular these place are or what fin men and woman ar engaged In th work her. They certainly deserve th help they solicit In the states. I am writing In the Salvation Army camp tent and as a side light I'll say there are two pretty girls and an elderly woman serving th counter. I'll finish this letter tomorrow, at it la late and I'll have to hit camp toon, March :trd Well I didn't keep my promise of writing tomorrow. I had the tooth ache and besides have been so busy during the day that I went to bed with the chickens (haven't seen on In months.). You know we hav to be careful of lights too at night, to prevent air raids. You should have seen me the .other day It was my day off and I went down to for the day. Well dinner time came and so I went over to a company mess that was In that town and got some "chow." I went outside and sat down in a sort of an alley way to eat. An elderly ,lady who was out In the back yard -U. S. Department of Agrfeultiir. came to the fence and started ri-. tire of French at me. 1 went over and had a little chat with ber. She told me about her son bm the wal the department thay ar In etc. W did it all with our arms, doing a .egular "setting upf exercise, aa t gymnast would aay. Finally ah went In the stone stable and milked the cow. Whan ah cam oat th set the pail down and talked torn more. A coupte of dog cam along and took what thy wanted and ah then fed la baby With what was left. Her pretty daughter stood la th doorway but she woaldn't com out and talk. . I'm going to get my picture taken as soon as I can and I'll tend you one. We hsd an official . photog rapher and he It not allowed to take any surroundings that would be of value in disclosing our positions. Th boya her ar all happy ana cheery despite th mud and rain. At night some of them bring out their ukeleles and ting, or with roaring firea In a home-made ' ttove, and sock drying overhead by the dozen pairs they sit around and crack Jokes, smoke their pipes and cuss the kaiser. , Well It'a "taps" so good night and write often.
