Cowley 'of Venice, | Sevier county, with the American ex• forces in France, writes to peditionary his parents, in part as follows; *One week passed, which brings Sunday here again: This one is a fine day, just like summer: quite muddy, but the glorious old sunshine makes up for that. "Last night at the Y. M. C. A. we had a nice little concert and three or four boxing bouts, Today I do not know just what I will do: probably I will go out for a stroll or back up against fence Dad From "Yesterday the French were doing some threshing on the corner of our block. Usually they do it in their barns, but it was so nice outside they got out in the sunshine. If you could see their threshing machine you would have a good laugh. It takes only four men and one horse to run it and 10 bushels is a good day's work. One man feeds and two bind the straw- by hand. The fourth man, which WAS a woman in this particular instance, does the pitching and band cutting. The power is a tread mill, in which they put the horse. *I am feeling fine, with good weather and hope all is well at home. *We got our pay today and you know. how good one feels on pay day. Tomorrow we will go out and cut wood all day; and it is quite a little hike to the woods. The soldier speaks of the happy time when he shall come home and says: "It would be a mighty pleasant evening for me if I could be there tonight to attend Mutual. I am here to do | my bit for my coontry."
