All members of the community and friends whose generosity has made the erection of these buildings possible are to be congratulated.

Mont J. Green, who had the general contract, was represented by his capable foreman, Emery Malsbury, a mechanic of first caliber. He, as well as the force of men working under him, have attained the regard of all by their effort to give complete satisfaction. Lester Davis Writes. France, August 2.

Dear Dad and All: Well, we are all up where the boys get rough once in awhile. It is not lively like some of the sectors are, though. William: and two other boys were wound-! ed the other night. Jerry threw grenades in where they were. Sox was wounded about the legs and head, but will get over it.

I am feeling fine and the rest of the fellows are, too, Pete is at school back behind somewhere. He didn't get to come with us. I received Nina's and Mamma's letter with the razor blades in it yesterday. I haven't a Keen Kutter razor now, but one of the other fellows has one, but no blades so he can use them. I also received a fine letter from Allen Harnish and a card from Carl Maret.

I am going to take them down to Lewie today. I am going to write a letter to Emmett as soon as I get time even if he doesn't write. Dad you have read about trench rats. Well, I am not in a trench, but a dugout and I never saw so many or so large rats in my life. I don't fuss with them as long as they leave me alone, although they get rather familiar at nights.

I expect my letters will be rather short for awhile, but will do the best I can. Oh, yes, you wanted to know what my duties were. I am a scout instead of an observer. My home part of the time is in no man's land. Lester.
