At any rate, Oswald West proved
himself a genuine sport and a good

One of the fine things about the
election was the granting of a right

The election was noteworthy in
one respect, In that the fire-eating
orators were conspicuous by ' their
absence. Let us have more elections
like this one exclude the fire-eat
ers. Influenza has made . this a
speechless campaign and hereafter
they should become popular.
But President Wilson mistook the
patriotism and courage of the Amer
ican people when he asked that they
return him a certain brand of con-
gressmen. It is a safe prediction
that those who composed the major
ity vote in the late election are
among the foremost citizens in re
gards to patriotism and subscribing

Dear Mother:
We have surely been on the run
since we landed In France, but we
cannot go very much farther as we
can see the flashes from the big guns
and .hear them plainly. We are now
staying In barns with all of the stock
that the place has. They have
everything from a cow to a rabbit
Things are surely different in France
than they are In the States. I do
not think they have changed any
thing in the last hundred years and
their ways are surely great to me.
The weather Is .beginning to get
cold and I think It will be a cold
place about Christmas, but a fellow
surely feels better here in this cli
mate than we did In hot Texas. I
have written to you at least once
week as we are only allowed to
write three letters a week.
We are kicking about the trains
in the States but you should be here
in one of the French box cars. They
are about 30 feet long and carry
about 40 men in one of them, and it
is all you can do to turn around in
them when they are loaded. They
stop at every little station and it
takes you a day and a night to go a
hundred miles.
Well I will close tor this time
with the best of love to you and
all. JOE.

Close Harmony Under
THE men had finished supper, and sat around in listless
groups. Even when a shell went zooming overhead they
showed no interest They were fed up on this war.
A little gray car chugged up the hill to their camp. Two war
work men stepped out, carrying between them a curious long box.
"What you got there?" asked the doughboys.
"An organ.
"Well, can you beat that 1"
"We've come to give you a little entertainment, said one man.
-All right?"
"You bet it's all right," answered a young officer. "This gang
hasn't seen a soul from the outside world for weeks. . Go as far
as you like."
And they did.
They sang the new songs, just over from Broadway. In a
minute the whole camp was singing them. Then they sang the
verse of a good old close-harmony melody, and the crowd roared
the chorus. i r r
"But haven't you'men got anybody who can sing?" asked on
of the entertainers. The response was immediate and over
whelming. ' "Sure we have! Oh, you Shorty! Come on, Happyl Give 'em
that 'Perfect Day, Billl"
And then things really started
"Would you know ifs the same gang?' asked the American
officers.
For two hours it lasted, and then the visitors packed up their
organ. t
"Come again toon and send more of your men," said the
officer. "We cant get too much of it!"
"So long!" yelled the men. "Good luck! Come again!"
Wherever there are American soldiers overseas, these organ
izations are carrying entertainment to them. Movies, concerts,
lectures, local talent, even full-fledged comedies with a truck for
the stage, from the simplest sing-songs in the woods to the most
elaborate program in city theatres, everywhere free entertain
ment is provided to meet conditions.
