Sabin the Druggist was in business
during this period In Fargo. North

of Guaiac Resin, which be used also
in treatment of quinsy and tonsllltls.
Mr. Sabin secured the privilege of

The following letters are from

expeditionary Forces, to Ills mother.
Mrs. T. O. Wallace:
Dear mother:
1 have been looking for a letter
from you for some time but have
been disappointed. 1 am not sure
whether or not tlu-re Is delay In
mall or you folks Just neglect to
write, letters over here riiean more
to the soldiers than people think. It
wasn't so bad in Kngland because
you could talk to everybody, but here
If you don't know French or Chinese
you are out of luck. I had to laui;h
today at a chink going across the
flying field. He had on a heavy over
coat with a straw hat and over on
shoulder was his raltr coat, In one
hand he carried his umbrella, while
in the other hand he had a teapot
and a pet canary In a cage some
combination wasn't It? and hot gee
I should say It wbb. There Is sever
al hundred of them here and their
makeups are great.
Thlg field Is about four miles from
town so don't get to go there very
much, expect to though Sunday. This
one particular plane looks almost ex
actly like Grants Pass. The soil Is
granite with lots of scrubby pines
scatter around, but I think they are
artificial like most all of the trees
In these countries. Most all of the
crops they raise here though iare
grapes, and wheat and the French
are great farmers. The things that
Interested me most Is Uncle Sam's
railroads over here. We even have
a lot of our own cars, while a lot ot
the locomotives are American. It
sure seems funny to see a French

Baker and oue of the llannuin boys

Well, mother it Is time to go to
