24, 1918. Dear Dad and All: We are all supposed to write a fetter today called "Da'd's Letter," I thought I -would try my luck. I am feeling fine and hope this will find you ail well. We are having fine breather now, although it is a little damp. They say it rained 365 days St, year when they were fighting, but I guess it wasn't quite that bad.

This Is a large city. They have some railroad yards here. Some of the fel-cws are working over at the round-fesase. Several have gone on the read. I have not been called yet but expect to be any time.

You had gaght to see some of the cars, they call them wagons, only have four wheels under them and are from 20 to 30 feet long. There are no air brakes or draw bars, and have some signals. Of course there are some U. engines and cars too. You can't ft down in the engines, you have to tand up all the time.

Their lamps STS square with red glass on one side and white glass on three sides. You can see airplanes any time you wish to look up. What looks tough to is to see the women and little children picking stuff from the garbage cans, half starved and not enough clothes to keep them warm, and wear wooden shoes. I would not live here for the whole of France, and the rest that I have talked with say the same. 1 have seen some awful things since I have been here and have saw nothing from what they tell me.

as to what is has been. It surely is a funny p'ace. Have seen thousands of German prisoners. Will tell you all about it when I get home. We get plenty to cat here in camp, but when ate out 011 the road you don't get unless you buy it yourself.

I received ten letters so you see I get my mail alright now. We may not jie over here long, and we may. you csn't tell. I hope rot. They sav the French are going to take over the railroads just as fast as they can, but It ill take some time at that.

I don think I will get back home before si ring. There are thousands of wounded soldiers coming back from the front every day. It is sure some ight to see. They can't get back any to soon too suit me, although I am act homesick, but would like to see rou all. If anyone would have told me how it is over here and I could not have set-n it myself.

I would have said I did not believe it, but I jave seer, it for tv.ys.?lf and I knew it i terrible. They are several years behind the times. Use dogs to pull carts around.

Well, we had landed in a German field just two kilos fa little over a mile) outside of Metz the first two soldiers of any of the allied armies to enter the city. The situation seemed very grave at first, but one friendly German said we could stay at his home until the morning. His wife was Very nice to us. She gave us wine, a fine supper, and a Very fine bed.

Next day we went back to the field and every thing I had was gone bed roll, some clothing and mess outfit. the instruments were taken off the ship, but it looked as if the motor and wires were O.

(From Women's Wear) The South never has been so prosperous as it is today.

Prices are to be maintained, old stocks have been fully sold, renewal orders are large, and there is surplus wealth to permit cottou being held for high prices. This is the statement of Max S. Herrman, president of the Seymour Manufacturing cotton goods handkerchiefs, who returned to Mew York yesterday after a record trip through Virginia, North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Ten-nesee. where he touched all the larger cities. "The only note of pessimism that has been sounded in the South is that struck by New York papers and by Northern converters who in fear of cancellations may have shipped goods far ahead of specified times and with advanced datings," he said.

"Prosperity reigns throughout the Southland as it never has before. I left New York on Nov. 20. later thaif I ever have gone South. Everywhere I fpund evidence of money.

It is prevalent among the negroes as well as the white population, and is not wholly due to army encampments located below the Mason-Dixon line. The cotton crop has been immense; there has been a market for everything, and th extreme scarcity of labor has made it possible for the negro to mass such savings as permitted at least one to buy a $4000 diamond recently in a Virginia jewelry store. "At a meeting in Savannah, Nov. 30, 70 members of the Southern Jobbers' Association agreed that there will be no reduction in prices. The Southern dealer feels assured of price continuation and is able to buy readily.

His old stocks have been dissipated and he is renewing with every confidence that, the closing of the army camps will not end his prosperity. "If New York had as much optimism as is talked in the South ther would be an end to cancellation talk." Mr. Herrman also said that the Southern cotton mills were rushed to capacity and that holders of cotton had sufficient reserve capital to await the expected rise in the Tell the good old Yankee Boys, we'll buy another loan Buy it with a spirit that will start the Germans home, Fight them as we used to fight them, Fifty million strong.

After spending several years of her married life in Northern she with her children returned to Orland, in which vicinity she spent the remander of hier life. In May, 1906, she was united in marriage to David Nettleman.

One little son was born to them, who died at birth. She was a member of the Nevada M. church and though sickness prevented her attending as regularly as she wished she was always ready and willing to do her part and help those in need. Becca, as she was known and called by her friends and neighbors, was of a sunny, happy disposition and though a great sufferer for years had a smile and pleasant word for all, forgetting her own suffering in caring for others. No one ever appealed to her in vain.

She gave and gave freely of her symapthy and affection and care. Her greatest happiness was in her home and caring for her loved ones. No sacrifice being too great for the comfort of her husband and children, tt can be truly said; "She looketh well to the ways of her household." She leaves to mourn their toss, her husband, one daughter, Julia Glndlesparger, of Elkhart; Laurence at present somewhere in France; Odla. of Woodland, 2 grandchildren; 4 brothers; 3 sisters; her aged parents; 2 sisters and 1 brother having already answered the great call. Faith had robbed the grave of all terror and when death came she had her house in readiness, wrapped the drapery of her couch about her and lay down to pleasant dreams.
