Mr. Brodersen has kiiully given the letter 'to the Review for publication, which ^JU be of interest to our readers. .1. "Camp Cody, Deming. N. M., Jan. 13. 191S. i^'Dear Folks: "We have had quite busy week of ft here. Have been out at the rifle range all week and it sure tires a fellow out, too. 1 can tell you it is some sen sation to hoar those bullets pass over your head by only a foot or two, but there is no danger of being hit for we have a twenty foot embankment in front of us and no bullet will ever get through that, but the sound of those things as they pass, over is what we all noticed nvost. Whenever a lilt is niade on the target the sound is sharp, a distinct snap as if someone is crack tig a whip if the bullet hits a little low and just touches the dirt iu front pjt the target there is a snap and then a low humming sound, but if a bullet ySi'ljlts a stone it glances off and sounds SV/lJke a siren Are whistle. We all are /lible to tell now from the sound of the Juliets Just what kind of a shot has /Soon made. "While we were out on the range a storm came up and 1 thought that we.had all of New Mexico in the air. 1 The .sand just burned and stung our -facet! something terrible and it w#s hfird to breathe anything but dust. I know now why sand storms are feared HO u^uch is deserts. It was not long .Until eur officers decided it was no use remain at the range so we were /*jtold fie could return to camp. We started off in little groups and 1 grab bed Charley Wright by the arm, for he' couldn't see a tiling, his eyes were so/full of sand. Now, I have wandered around that stretch of desert quite a bit and knew just where to go, so we gpt tp camp all right, even though the sand was so thick in the air I could hardly see six feet ahead. We found 'tent standing, but some of the JliQjrs bad been blown down, so we lad to set them up again in all that awful wind and sand. Then about as ^suddenly aa It started the wind went down} and it began to rain, after which it balled and about 7 o'clock that night It l/egan to snow and on Thursday ^in^rriing We had about an inch of snow oji/ the ground."

We have a fire-going in the stove, but it doesn't seem to do much good. for the wind drives through the tracks in the walls and makes it cold runless one sits right up to the fire. The 1 sand is flying almost as badly as it did Wednesday, but we don't have to be fent today. &{ "l received the pictures you sent Fine and that service flag and Red Cross ^ag look pretty good in the parlor win dpw, I think.

'"There is. not much news to write liso wUl cloae for. this time. With love ip all, your loving son,- Walter." 11 Ben Brixlersen, who is also stationed at Camp Cody, writes his parents un der Uife of January 13th the following letter: ."Dear Folks: This is another windy 1 and while I am writing this letter in- my tent 1 'am afraid it will blow .tfown most any minute. We have been having awful weather for the past few fc'.'dnys and it has been quite cold, eveii lti tibove zero-one morning when we Te had an awful sand storm on Wednesday and nine of our tents blew away and .two others were torn all to pieces. I was on stable guard and was kept busy tying up horses that broke loose during the storm. It let up in the evening, however, and we took all our blankets and other things outside and dusted them and swept the sand off the floor of our tent. It sure was dirty. it'"The pictures you sent to me were 'just fine tlnd I was very glad to receive them.Walter and I were glad to see KINDLING WOOD Ife IP •IPi»r Bundle 10c Three for 25c MR: LUMBER CO. the two stars ou the servicc llag in the parlor window. "The entire battery went out on, a little hike Thursday noon. Each man was issued two big slices of bacon, a large potato and two slices of bread, and we all had to prepare our own dinner. I fried my bacon until it was nearly done and then sliced the po tato and fried it in the bacon grease, leaving the bacon on top of the po tato to keep hot. The cooks made cof I fed and 1 had a fine meal. Afterwards we practiced pitching 'Pup' tents. Kaeh man carried half a tent, a tent pole and five stakes. These tents are car ried for use when on a hike. "We had another review of the ar tillery brigade yesterday morning. Af ter the review and inspection moving pictures were taken of the whole Iowa regiment mounted. I understand that they are going to be shown all over Iowa and possibly you will see them in Denison. "There is not much talk of leaving this camp. My section goes out on an other hike tomorrow and Harold Sil letto has loaned me his camera to take some pictures with.

Nor is titer* any policy of this kind suggested for the future. In spite'of' this fact, the United States food administration has been obliged repeatedly t«i Issue official de hjals of rumors that the government Intends commandeering preserves and canned goods put up in American homes. These rrmioi's were originated partly by pro-German propagandists and part ly by conscienceless grafters, who fought to profit through buying from misinformed housewives/ The year 1918 will see home canning and preserving practiced on greater scale than ever before in the nation's, history, officials in Washington believe. And they are assuring all patriotic housewives that foods so saved are theirs, and theirs alone. NUTRITIOUS CORN BREAD. One New Tork hotel has arranged a thoroughly patriotic corn bread reclfke. It combines cornmeal with rye Hour, both of which are being con sumed in greater quantities this year In order to release wheat flour for the allied nations. This recipe fills a large pan—10 by 22 Inches—and con tains the following ingredients: One quart milk, four ounces butter substi tute. ten ounces light syrup or honey, three eggs, pinch salt, two pounds cornmeal, one pound rye flour and two ounces baking powder. The butter and syrup are thorough*, ly mixed. Then add the eggs gradual ly, pour in the milk, then add the rye liour mixed with the cornmeal and baking powder. Bake in a hot ovea.

From approximately the eleventh to the thirteenth century was tlwsgolden age of the medieval recital singer, who cultivated the art of song us distinct from the popular song of the lower or der. Troubadours, trouveres and min nesingers haunted the castles and rose gardens of Provence, Northern .'France, Stiabla and Aragon, hastening along the roads which led from one to an other, running over their programs while they scanned the horizon for the next moated grange or beetling keep. We doubt if the records of their pre mieres are preserved even1 in the yel lowing parchments of dusty archives, for it was a careless age, without thought of posterity, and hardly know ing that it pays to advertise, says Frederick H.
