Mrs. Kelso received a letter
recently from her son, Bill, who
is In training at San Francisco,
Calif :
Dear Mon,
Received your letter this af-
ter noon. Was sure glad to hear
from you again.
1 suppose I am doing all right
In school. I am really interested
injt but it is hard as heck. It is
the study of the human body in
one class. We start at the begin-
ning before birth and follow
through the entire life. We also
study the effects of veneral dis-
eases on the body. It's really
amazing how all this has affect
on the human body in full.
We also have classes in math-
ematics, Physotherpy and Hy-
giene, and sanitation. We are
supposed to learn in two months
what it would take about three
years to learn- in a medical
school We also have First Aid
classes.
• Well, outside of all this. I
am having a swell
land in the South Pacific. It is
considered a tropical island. It
has two seasons of the year, the
rainy season and the balance of
the year. The rainy season starts
the latter part of October and
continues until the middle of
February. We have plenty of co-
cocoanuts, bananas, papias and
wild fruits. There isn't any form
of civilization here except the
camps of men in the fighting
units.
I wish I could be there so I
could see the boys playing foot-
ball. I hope that they have a
successful year. I suppose the
school has a lot of new teachers
in it this year.
Well, I had better close.
Your friend,
Sgt Leonard D Huddleston.
wish I were close enough to get
'home once in a while, anyhow.
Tou know it has been almost a
year now since I left, but may-
be before long I will be home for
good. I sure hope so It will sure
be nice when all the boys get
back and settle dowrv to normal
life again. It will never be the
same' as before though, I don’t
guess
I sure wish Dad had taken a
vacation. I know he needs one.
Tell him IH write him as soon as
I can get time. ! .
Say, Is that Huston Reeves
that is stationed here now? If so,
what is his address? I’d like to
look him up.
Well, think I will go dance a
couple of sets and go to bed. You
see they are dancing here in the
Y. M. C. A* So answer soon.
Your loving son.
Bill

Dear Mother, Father, arid all:

news to write and have more
time I love you all.
Elton Roberts
Somewhere In Oregon
Hello friends:
I've just finished reading the
Eagle. It’s always* a little late in
reaching me but I enjoy it any-
way. I read it to some of my
buddies and called their atten-
tion to the column telling hew-
Mllls County filled their quota in
the third War Bond drive by ten
o’clock of the first day. It makes
ua men in the service feel good
to know that we are being back-
ed by our friends at home..
Even though everyone cannot
shoulder a rifle, they can do as
much toward destroying the
Axis powers by buying more and
more war bonds, as the man who
Mtoots the leader on the battle-
front. So keep it up, people on
the home front.. We’re depend-
ing on Vou.
I am on maneuvers In the des-
erts of Oregon and have been
out here since the 10th of July.
We went back to camp for three
weeks rest, then came out again.
We will probably be out here un-
til the middle of Oct. It gets hot
here during the day but is cold
night. It gets pretty rough at
times but not nearly so bad as
our boys are having in Italy and
other battlefields.
^ I am still connected with the
transportation and have been
practically all the time since I’ve
been In the army I know you
have read the write ups
praising our tanks. planes,
tracks and all other modern
lheUltie.s of our U S Army It
la My opinion that none of these
play a more Important part than
UM Jeep for I have seen them
triad In mud. sand, snow and
water and all kinds of country
aAdi they have been wonderful.
U jou ever have a chance, ride
one and try It out.
‘ I must go as I have a lot of
• work to do I would like to hear
from all who care to write. I
wffl guarantee an answer, for
not to ahow, mail counts more
than anything to a soldiers mor

Walks o’er the earth with silent
tread; „ __
He bears our best loved things
away,
And then we call them “dead."
He leaves our hearts all desolate;
He plucks our fairest, sweetest
flowers;
Transplanted into bliss, they now

A TRIBUTE
To Mrs. Will. Urbach who pass-,
ed on Sunday morning, Sept. 19.
-9.3. *
Ood sent His angle and whis-
pered to her, “Come home and
abide with me, for thy work on
earth is finished, thou hast
fought a good fight, thou hast
kept the. faith, and there is a
crown laid up for thee, and I
have prepared a mansion for thy
dwelling place forever that was
builded with the material thou
has sent up before thy coming.”
To all who knew her these ore
words of on universal grief.
There is no language to express
the sorrow Of us all. She was
sick for many months. She was
nursed as only love can nurse.
No tenderer, sweeter soul ever
passed forth buoyed by a surer
hope. All that man’s chivalry
ever dreamed of woman j was
part of her. In her a child’s hope
was satisfied and a friend's pride
fulfilled, but we lost her.
But she lived and love was her
portion and never for one in-
stant was a human heart sad-
dened because she lived. Is not
this enough?
Time, like a harper muffling
his harpstrings, will soften the
tense anguish, and her memory
will yet become as her life was,
^n incentive to righteousness
qnd purity Thus it is that even
, here the pure spirit is immortal
and thus in death she is still and
will always be, beautiful and
helpful as In life. Her chair was
ready first and she has gone on
before us. We could not all con-
veniently start together; and
why should you and I be grieved
at this, since we are soon to fol-
low and know where to find her.
To her daughter, grandchlld-
ern, sisters and brother and es-
pecially to the dear sister who
lingered near through the long
Illness, we extend our warmest
sympathy In these hours of their
heavy bereavement. And the
words of Edgar A. Guest:
When sorrow comes, as come
. It must, . .
In God a man must put his
trust. > ,
With all the wealth that he may
own
He cannot meet the test alone.
And only he can stand serene
Who has a faith on which to
lean.

Corrections Needed In
Dairy Herds To Produce
"More Milk For Victory"
Purina Survey Revfals Glaring
Need for Bettor Manage-
ment, Sanitation and
Feeding
Ninety-nine out of every 100
dairy herds in the U. 8. need Scene
sorrectlan which would Increase milk
production.
This sweeping statement Is made
by the Purina Merchant of. this city
who is sponsoring a “Pood for Vic-
tory Crusade’’ aimed at helplhg lo-
cal dairymen Increase milk produc-
tion to meet the growing demands
of our armed forces, war workers,
civilians and fighting allies.
Milk Production low
The statement Is based on a survey
completed recently on nearly 10,000
average U. 8. farms, and covering
the breeding, management, sanita-
tion and feeding practices now being
rollotod, and results obtained. The
tabulation shows:
Avenge milk production per cow
per day—15.6 lbs.
22 percent of kurdt were haring odder
trouble in' morn then 10 perceet

13.9 purctut of horde had rttaiapd aft-
erbirth in wort than 10 percent el

from Konrt in civet.

Unintentional Sabotage
These and other serious leaks are
sabotaging milk production on
American farms, the survey reveals.
To eliminate similar losses in load
dairies, and as his contribution to
the war effort, the Purina Merchant
is helping farmers to apply a series
ef recommended management, sani-
tation and feeding practices aimed
at conserving feed and increasing
production. These practices have, the
approval of the Department of Agri-
culture and the Office of War In-
formation.
