Dear Editor:
The health of this place is
good.
I just finished my training at
Camp Nelson br Lake Pontchar-
ton vxd was shipped back to Al
giers yesterday and am now a
waiting furthur orders which I
will probably recieve soon.
I am having a pretty nice time
now. I have to drill only 45 min
utes per dsy while here and you
bet I am in no hurry to ship a'
way.
You can often hear people
there saying they had rather see
their people dead than see them
start to this- war. . That is all
nonesense for the soldiers and
sailers have a pretty nice time.
especially while training. Of-
course trench work is mueh harder.
Goess the 12th. of September
was a sad day with many homes
of Hancock County because there
was some one in the home who
had to register. It was a pleasant
day with us scldiers and sailers
of this state, . We had a psrade
on the streets of New Orleans
for about one hour after which
we were invited to a treat for the
remainder of the day. At night
we were invited to private homes
for supper. You can imagine a-
bout how we ate, after being at
a treat all day.
.Guess several boys will leave
for camps sodn and when you
eave don't worry because it was
never worth while. You Willi
find it different to what you have
it mapped cut to h So pack up
your troubles sjndj Vbk for awar-
Guess farmers x ,1 soon be sow
ing wheat, when I wu sow, tow
pknty; gather your corn and take
care of it well, potatoes also; and
when you plant potatoes next
spring, plant plenty, snd if you
think there will be a dry spell
ust plant some onions with them
so they will make the potatoes
eyes water and. furnish moisture
or both. 'tV

Dear Papa: V
I am well and standing
hard times pretty fair, i' Hope
you are enjoying the, best of
health. Sure would like to see
you and tell "you all about this
part of the world. It ia" quite
different from the New World.
The people here are just now

Crops seem to be very . good.
Some of the farmers use binders
similar to ours but verj ', much
smaller. But the farmers who
farm on small scale use a very
peculiar kind of scythe. It has
a very short Handle or sneea
which is held in the rig':t hand,
and in the left hand the) nolu a
hook to place the grain in tench
es to be bound into bundles. "It
seems to be very tlrsorae work
because they have to go sloped
while working. .. .'
Tne wagons are very heavy
and clumsy. They are generally
drawn by one horso- The ihcrxe
is hitched about five feet frcai the
single tree. - Vou can. see the
horse some time before you see
the wagon when making a , bend
on the road. One horso here
pulls a load twice as large as qne
of our horses. Tl.cy seem to be
lieve in loading a horse.
The people here raise several
cattle. They have small dairy
farms. It is real funny; to see
them work with their milk J They

AMERICAN families would have less sugar than the
people of war torn France, if we depended entirely
on oor home-grown sugar stocks.
Approximately 75 per cent of our engsr is shipped
to our shores. We produce about 1,000,000 tons of sugar
a year. Our imports from abroad amount to over 3,000,
000 tons a year to normal times.
The United States Food Administration asks eseh
family to limit its use of sugar to two pounds per month
per person for household use. The military situstion de
mands that every available ahip be placed at the disposal
of the Army or Navy. When we save sugar, we save
shipping.
