GRAZIER RECEIVES LETTER FROM HER BROTHER The following letters were written to Mrs. Thomas Grozier of this city, by her brother Harry Fife, member of a Canadian regiment. Mrs. Grozier has suffered the loss of one brother and two brothers- in-law during the war. France. June 11th, 1918. Dear Mary: I received two post cards from you a few days ago, say ing that you sent mb a small parcel, but so far it has not turned up. I hope it does not go astray as a parcel is made welcome here at any time. Well Mary how are Tom and the chil dren and yourself keeping all well, I trust. No doubt you have received my letter telling you of poor Douglas being killed in action. I am afraid we shall nevef find where he lies as he was killed on the ground the Ger mans now hold. Bella has asked me to find out where he is buried, but I would rather not tell her where I think he lies. In Ethel's letter I got yesterday, she asks me if I have written and thanked you for the sweater you sent mje some time ago, as its quite a while since I wrote the letter to you since then so I hope; you received them all-right. What do you think of our dear Wee Dwan? I am so proud of Ethel and her, only its not much of a pleasure being so far and so long away from them botlso see and send all the Yanks yc-u have to spare over here and get it over. France will hold them all and give them lots of room to do their guessing. I've had two years of it here now. Do you ever hear of Jamie? I think it is over ten years since I wrote hii but if you have his address let me have it as I would like to write him a few lines, and Alex, I have not heard from him since I first came over; here. Such a bunch of scattered boys I have not known. Winter and I are keeping in touch with each other he has written me pretty regular and also sends me lots of smokes. I think I shall take a trip down to see him if I am) spared to pull through, for he is very interested in the war. I have to laugh at the times I have heard the boys, tell you that a fellow has to rough it when he goes to Amer ica. Give me a tin of bully beef, and a few hard biscuits, and the rest of the way is mine. Any man that's roughed this old war can go any where rain or shine. With all the ups and downs we boys have out here we do less guessing than those who are left at home. How ever we all look to be given a fair show when we get back.) Now Mary, I don't know of any more news at present and as you know news out here is as scarce as a fur lough to Blighty, so I hope you will excuse the scarcity of news. The weather has been splendid for some tinVs past and I am as brown as a nut being so much out in the sun, every thing is going on fine only I have a new address since I wrote last. Just put the name and number as before but the Third Canadian Division, Pontoon Bridging Unit, France. So be sure now and make no mistake. This will be all, trusting to heart from you soon. With love and best wishes to Tom and yourself.

Addams, vice chairman of the Arizona Council of Defense, asking for an ex pression of opinion regarding recent resolutions adopted by the council ordering all merchants to mark the cost and selling price on every article, Timothy B. Riordan, the federal food administrator for Arizona has sent following wire: "Referring-to your letter enclosing resolutions requiring merchants to mark cost and sale price of each ar ticle offered for sale, have to inform you that we are working under a def inite program and therefore cannot cooperate with you in such a rule. The expense attached to the plan proposed by you would no doubt increase cost of commodities to consumer and would ve a serious drain upon man power, which the government is attempting to conserve at this time." In explanation the food administra tor stated that this telegram should not be construed as showing lack of a willingness to cooperate with the Arizona Council of Defense in all mat ters which are not in conflict with the national program of the food administration. - PAGE SBVEN t j mm SAM B.
