BUTLER AND WELSH IN FRAY
FARREL STRONG FOR IT
Y.M.C.A. SHORT OF PAPER I
ON ACTIVE SERVICE
with the
AMERICAN EXPEDITIONARY
FORCE
Dear Mother and family:
I suppose you think I have forgot
ten you but I have been in battle and
we sure had some exciting experience.
1 never thought 1 would be myself
when I once was under gunfire but 1
was, never got excited as 1 didn’t have
time.
We came over the top the morning
of the 26th of September and believe
me it was sure the top, the high ex
plosives were bursting all around me
and one hit a bank of dirt that I had
just dropped behind and 1 sure tho't
1 was gone. 1 felt paralyzed for a
bout a minute alter, and then l raised
up to where it had hit and there was
about tour inches of the bank left
between me and the hole which the
shell made where before it hit there
was four feet of bank. 11 killed one of
my comrades and wounded three oth
ers.
We ;ure made those Huns travel,
believe me tiiey would sit in a hole
with a machine gun and lire on us
until we would get within thirty or
forty feet of them; then they would
jump up and throw their hands over
their heads and jump around and hol
ler "comrade” or kneel to their knees
and grip their hands and beg us not
to shoot*them.
We fought on the front between
Verdun and Kheims and captured the
town of Virzy and several small towns
and almost to the large mountain call
ed Mount i auccn. We were on the
battle Held lor eight days.
When v.e were in Camp Lewis the
officers would drill us on dropping to
the ground getting up quick and run
ning a little way and dropping again,
hut believe me, we didn't uecj anyone
to tell us that on the held. Any lime
we got up to run we went in a hurry
and dropped .own quick and 1 think
1 would liatten out thinner than a pan
cake when those shells tlevv over me.
The night we got back from the
front Leslie came over and slept with
me and 1 Mire was gud to see him
get through all O. K. We can sit and
tell of our narrow escapes and feel
pretty lucky that we got through with
oat being crippled or killed.
Leslie just came over again so 1
will let linn write what 1 can t think
of and y ou can let his folks read this
letter as we are very short of paper.
Well 1 guess Jimmie has told you
■ bout everything. As he says, we
I -lire had some narrow escapes; no one
knows what it is like but the nt m who
has gone through it. Believe me, I
was sure glad the other tmjnt when 1
accidentally blundered on to Jim and
I lound out that he was alb O. K. We
rolled up in our blankets together and
i slept un.er a tree although we were
not so Tar away but that we could hear
I the noise and roar of the battle field,
we slept like two logs. We won't
need any bed when we get home, just
a place in a corner. I remember in
(me of Bertha's letters of her saying
-lie had made some things for the
boys in France and hoped that no
German got them. She needn't worry
for Fritz will never take anything
from an American soldier. We have
got them started for Berlin in the
High and I don't think we will run
out of gas or strip the gears and we
haven't any reverse on our machine,
so I figure Berlin by Christmas.
From your loving sons,
Corp. James Grover Butler and
Leslie.
I’lease write soon and don't be wor
ried about us as we will make it all
O. K. from now on.
Jimmie's speaking about the Huns'
saying Kamerad puts me in mind of
an Irishman taking a prisoner, the
prisoner saying "Kamerad, don't
shoot, 1 have a wife and four child
ren”, The Irishman looked at hint a
minute and said,“You made a mis
take, you have a widow and four or
phans”
MRS. ESTES TAKEN HOME
Frank W. lystes took home to her
own people the mortal remains of his
wife Helen who died so suddenly at
the niuestone Mine November 1. She
was a. native of Scotland, only 25
y ears old. She was buried at Ogden
l tab, Nov. 5 from the home of her
parents.

JOE FARRELL WRITES HOME
Camp Lewis, October 20, 1918.
Dear Old Pal —
I received your most welcome let
ter today and was sure glad to hear
from you.
This life is sure great stuff to build
you up. When I came up here 1 only
weighed one hundred and fifty, now'
I weigli one hundred seventy-two and
the muscles of my body are just as
hard as iron.
Of course you do not pick up that
fast at home because your sleep and
meals are not regular. Up'-here we
get up at the same time every morn-,
ing, have our meals at regular hours,
have certain hours to work, certain
hours to rest and go to bed at nine
every night. That is wdiat- counts a
lot in building a man up. Then we
get lots of exercise which helps.
Mhen they run out of squads East
and West for us to do, we play all
kinds of gamesr and- practice running
and wrestling.
I don't understand how you got it
into your head that you are not help
ing to win the war as much as 1 am
or any of the other boys in the army.
What would we do if it were not for
you boys at home raising the crops
to feed us. If all the boys at home
would quit working for a year we
would all be kicked out of camp be
cause there would be nothing for us
to eat. The folks at home should re
member whenever they extend a help
ing hand to assist the army with nec
esary needs, they are just as patriotic
as any of us soldier boys because the
army cannot exist without their help.
Yes. Dick, I think I will get to
France because we have everything
for overseas duty now. We can't go
any too soon for yours truly. You
often said you thought 1 had nine
lives. If I had, Dick, I would wil
lingly give them all up for old U. S. A.
| if it were necessary.
We surely have some rifle practice
here. I got eighteen straight hits
I the other day and got a cute little
I gold medal for it.
Another thing I have learned here
is patience. I am general instructor
in truck riving and have given five
| thousand men their first lesson in
truck driving in the la^t five clays and
I never lost my temper once, and let me
tell you, the-e are some awful bone
heads. O boy.
Well, old ■ ' 1. I will close for now
and will write a^ lin soon. /
A ever, your old pal,
Joe Farrell.

UNITED STATES FUEL
ADMINISTRATION
The following copy of a telegram
from General Pershing to the United
States Fuel Administrator, Dr. Gar
field. is sent at Dr. Garfield’s request
and he asks that the widest possible
publicity be given it;
“Let there be no shortage of coal.
Lack of coal means limiting our war
industries, railroads and shipping are
slowed down and the army cannot be
provided with means to deliver the
telling blows needed to end the war.
Without coal we shall be without
guns and ammunition to use against
the enemy. The man in the mine
he'ipg the man on the firing line. The
more coal you produce the sooner |
we shall have peace. Every soldier
of the American Expeditionary forces 1
expects to be backed up by the min
ers of America just as labor in every
branch o; industry at home ha- stood,
behind us. V.V soldiers know that we
can depend upon you to do your part !

SPOILED WHEAT PRICE
Must be Sold For Less Than No. 1
All dealers, chicken raisers, feeders
of hogs and livestock are requested
by the Federal Food Administration
for Nevada to pay for spoiled wheat
or any feed wheat a price not exceed
ing the government’s fixed price of
$2.00 per bushel for No. 1 hard wheat,
according to a statement issued by
If. A. Lemmon in Reno recently.
‘ Information has reached this office
that feed wheat is being sold at prof
iteering prices, both by farmers and
by the grain trade,” commented Mr.
Lemmon. ‘'It is even alleged that
certain farmers have been guilty of
mixing water, dirt and other waste
matter in with good wheat, so that
the mill will refuse the grain and it
may be sold for higher prices as feed.
Warning is given that this constitutes
a criminal practice under the hood
Control Act, and that all offenders
caught doing this will be penalize!.
Waste of food, or adulteration of
food in order to profiteer, are moral
treason when every pound of food is
needed for the Allies and the Amer
ican people”.
-oo
Three Pound Sugar Rule Restored
Beginning1 November first through
out the United States the sugar allow
ance for homes and also for public
eating places will be at the old rate
of three pounds per person, or nine
ty meals served, per month, says a
telegraphic ruling received from the
United States Food Administration.
The change does not niffect manufact
urers, however, and sugar certificates
will be required from these as here
tofore. Bakeries, retail merchants,
saloons, soda fountains, etc., will be
rationed as announced some time ago.
Several causes contribute to the in
crease in sugar allotment, according
to Mr. Hoover's wire. New wooden
ships for the coastwise trade, tempor
ary cessation of cereal crop move
ment, relieving rail and water equip
ment, and the patriotic saving of
Americans, all have resulted in addit
ional available sugar, so that for sev
eral months at least it is believed
that the three pound rule will be
maintained. _
Any head of a family may purchase
his full month’s allotment at the rate
of three pounds for each person to be
fed, but grocers will continue to keep
a strict record of all sales and u-er
of sugar who exceed their allowance
will be penalized.
It is believed by the F tod Admin
istration that the increase in sugar
will compensate for the saving in oth
er necessary commodities which must
be patriotically o' -erved it we are to
fee ! our army and the twenty mil
lion people among the Allies.

UNITED WAR DRIVE
During the Week of November 11.
Next Monday, November 11, the
Knights of Columbus, the Young
Mens’ Christian Association, the Y.
M. C. A., Community Service, Salva
tion Army, Jewish Welfare Board and
American Library Association, com
bined together, will appeal to the
pie of the United States to give
$170,5iH),(XK) for the purpose they'
represent. We all know the good
these organizations have done for
our boys at the front. They follow
ciicm into the trenches and help to
make our boys the cleanest and de
centest men who ever donned a uni
form. Xo otiier fighting men have
had their health and morals so well
protected. The seven welfare organ
izations recognized by the govern
ment which have done such untold
good in keeping the men fit must be
ti muffed to keep their good work up.
Let us try to put the amount over
the top “for our brave arid gallant
Victory Boys who hove crushed the
hydraheaded monster of autocracy in
Europe.”
In tiic words of “l.ife," step for
ward, ladies and gentlemen, and re
plenish the treasures of the Red
Cross, the K. of C„ the V. M. C. A.,
the Salvation Army and some others
all indorsed by the government as
worthy and indispensable. Let us.
Catholic and Protestant, stand
shoulder to shoulder, combine all our
energies and enthusiasm and furnish
our example of truly American and
fraternal spirit. It is in this spirit of
true patriotism and cooperation and
enthusiasm that all creeds should
unite in this new drive—"the greatest
ever made in the history of the world
for philanthropic purposes.” It is in
this spirit that all organization, Cath
olic and Protestnts have worked from
the beginning of the war. And it is
the spirit which will bring victory at
last, and after victory will crown our
peace with results, truly American,
truly democratic, truly worth the
price of blood, of treasures and of de
votion which all of us. Jews, Protest
ants and Catholic alike are pouring
out upon the altar of liberty, while
"we are at the last lap and close to
the winning post,” to quote a French
leader, at the Same time we are re
minded that it is in the last part of the
race that a runner must make his su
preme effort. Help these organiza
tions, give “till it hurts.” You give
brothers, warm, human-hearted fel
lows, who have only one life to be
given, ami who give it freely for
others—for us. This is no time for
slackening. Even if the war ended
today, we must give. It took more
than one year to carry our Ixtys over
seas at the rate of 250,000 a month
and it is expected that nearly two
years will be required to gradually
bring them back and return them
once more to the pursuits of civil
life. Nearly every day news comes
to us that Prussia wanths peace, Out
we should beware and not believe it.
Such news has the odor of limburger.
There is no American lurry for
peace, though the right peace would
be always welcome,, V\ o arc some
what like the little Fngli-ii girl knit
ting a sock for the soldier. She
hoped the war wouftl not end before
she finished her sock. This country is
knitting a straitjacket for *he Kaiser.
