Letter from Grant MeFarlin, Head
quartern Troop, 32nd, Division, at
the Western Fighting Line in
France. The letter was written
August 17th, and addressed to his
parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Me
Farlin. In a letter to Paw Taw
friends, Graiit enclosed a piece from
the Aeroplane wing in which Quen
tin Roosevelt lost his life on July
14th, and adds that he has tteen
the grave in which his body lies.
The opportunity again presents it
self for me to write, hence my letter.
I am pretty well rested up by now,
and have just had my first bath in
forty-seven days, so naturally I am
feeling quite chipper.
The weather has been quite cool
here to-day and quite cloudy,
which keeps the enemy aeroplanes
from their usual trade of bombing.
This is their most devilish means of
warfare, as there is absolutely no
protection which is safe from their
huge bombs. They prowl around at
night when you are trying to sleep
and will wake you from a pleasant
dream with a dozen or so of eight foot
bombs, and believe me, when one falls
it rocks the earth and blows a hole
large enough to put an ordinary house
in. Of course if you are unfortunate
enough to be in the direct path of one
of these, the curtain falls and the big
show is over. This is just one little
phase of Boche warfare. He also has
many other pleasant tricks such as
shooting over a bunch of gas shells
at about 2:00 A. M. when you are
sleeping the sleep of the just ,and
you must wake and put on the mask
until the "all clear" signal is given.
Sometimes twenty minutes, sometimes
two hours. A fine rest cure, is it
not, ha, ha!
On the whole, eveiything is going
fine. I have at last located Clare, he
is in a Red Cross hospital in Paris
and is doing fine. He is a cheerful
old scout and has the highest hopes
for a speedy recovery, and of course
we all join in with our best wishes
also. The accounts have just come
out in our papers here as to what
this division did. The papers are very
difficult to get a hold of, because the
officers get a preference over us and
gobble them up before we get a
chance but, by hook or crook I'll try
to enclose an account in this letter.
I think we made friend "Heinle" turn
over in bed this time alright. I don't
think he has had very much sleep in
the past week or so at least. They
are driving him to beat h 1 on all
fronts now and believe me, we are
trying to keep him going till he's
back of the Rhine where he belongs.
And I guess we are going to make a
success of it too. .
Oh, I forgot to toll you that Alger
Conkey of Hartford was killed in this
last drive and Sargeant Arthur I)e
Vries of Grand Rapids. Arthur's
father is a promient Grand Rapids
doctor.
I am very sorry about Gerald Green
word, yo uknow he was one of my
best friends.
I could name a lot of boys from my
company that have paid the supreme
price, but it would only be a bore to
you as you do not know them. Do
you remember the boy in Kalamazoo
who helped you to locate Brod and I?
Well, he was discharged in Waco and
sent home as he was under age. Be
lieve me, he was lucky.
Well folks, I have expended about
all the news I have and this thing
must be ended somewhere, and I
guess this is about as good a place as
anv other, so here goes.

JUST A WORD ABOUT STOVES
It will be almost impossible for us
to buv anv more stoves this season.
However 'we are fortunate in having
perhaps a larger stock of the staple
sellers on hand than in other years.
As we see it now, you need not look
for a reduction in the price of stoves
for two or three years at least, even
if the war stops.
Hwas said:-

$2.50

COc & 00c
Price in One Gallon Cans iT"$4.00
Price in One Quart Cans $1.10
It's the new conditions that make
the old things look funny contrast
ing the results cf prograss with the
past.
Store methods, too, have advanced.
Comparing the modern store with
the one of twenty years ago is quite
as funny.
Years ago, pconle who could knock
pennies off the market selling price
were considered clever. No exchang
es or returned goods were allowed.
It's different now. Modern mer
chants charge one price to all, with
the privilege of monev hnrk or py.
change without quibbling. It's this
new way we keep shop.
If you need a stove, buy now. You
will tire of waiting for them to come
down.
Our line of Ranges represents the
best built in America. Round Oaks,
Univcrsals, and the Malleable. What
better can you find?
Good stoves saves fuel, also saves
on your baking. You arc helping in
this great cause when you save both
of these items.
