Anyone who missed seeing Chas. Ray in "The Pinchhitter" this week, missed a treat that rarely conies this way, except from such high class Trl angle productions as Manager Sparks is now showing. Chas. Ray makes f.he best Interpretation of a green .iwkward, bashful country boy that you could imagine. So well does h: ilay the part that It seems his natur al character and you couldn't help but feel sorry for him. When he left his father's home. down in Vermont to attend school at Williams Cullesc, l.o was just abji: the greenest boy that ever came ir from the farm. He finally makei good though, and his time conieu. when he takes his place at the bat in the last half of the ninth inning, with the score standing 7 to 6 for the op ponents, one man on, and two out. Chas. hit the ball so hard it went away over the fence and down into Main street. From that time on, his confidence made it easier for him. It is a great play. Are Doing Some .Good Road Work. Louis J. Padberg and J. R. Jack son are doing some good work on a piece of road extending from the Pad berg place to Willow creek, south of Lexington. These men have been do ing this work voluntarily, just as they had time from their other farm du ties. They are using the Padberg caterpillar and dragging two road scrapers. Mr. Jackson is a master hand when it comes to directing a road scraper, and seems to thorough ly understand the proper way of grading up a road. People who have gone over this work pronounce it ex cellent. The road immediately packs and becomes firm, is properly graded to the center so that it drains and the water is carried off. They have fixed up about two and a half miles of the road and will put some five miles in shape if they find time to do the work. The caterpillar is proving the proper power for moving the scrapers and the road should be in good shape the entire season by look ing after the filling of holes when they appear. ecial Free Offer $1.45 VALUE FOR $1.10 3-lb.

For dinner that day we had turkey, mashed spuds, dressing, asparagus, pie, cake., bread and coffee. . In the afternoon the ship's crew re ceived a Red Cross package. In my package I received a box of candy, a knife, stationery and pencil, a bar of soap and a trumpet kazoo, which is a kind of whistle. There was also a pack of post cards. Believe me, all the boys were tickled to get their packages. For entertainment all kinds of singing, music and dancing, but the best of all, mother, was this: There was a collection taken up among the boys and we raised a little over fif teen hundred dollars. This money ) was used to buy the poor children J clothes and presents. Then we had i about two hundred of them come on the ship and we gave them a big tur key dinner, and had all kinds of amusement for them. We had the ship decorated in fine shape. I would like to tell you more about the' people and the country around here but we can't write anything like that while on this side. We haven't received any mall for sometime but are expecting some most any day. I haven't received a letter from you for almost two months. Maybe you haven't written. I wish you would send me a big box of home made candy. If you do send anything send it by parcel post and I'll be sure to get it. Goodbye till you hear from me again. R. A. YEAGER, U. S. S. New York, co Postmaster, New York, N. Y. Box 12, Sec. 3. at six o'clock this morning, and we had to get up at four this morning to get ready. Thank Guy for the money for me. I told you before that I took out $10,000 insurance just before I went to the hospital, and am going to make an allottment of $15 as soon as I can. This is a great camp. It has ac comodations for about 40,000 men. There are big furnaces and plenty ol coal to burn, which Is more than the average New Yorker has during this cold spell. It certainly has been cold here. 18 degrees below zero, and a much more penetrating cold than we have out west. There is only one chance In a thou sand of me finding the box which I lest. I have done everything I can to get it, but it can't be found. You see when anything gets lost in a town like New York its worse than looking for a needle in a haystack. Every thing I had except what was on my back was lost, including my kodak, razor, toilet articles, clothes, a house wife and everything. Your son, ELWYN SHIPLEY. ANNOUNCEMENT.
