SUNDAY, NOV. 24, 1918. THE ESCANABA MORNING PRESS PAGE FIVE MUSICIANS IN SERVICE HAVE PLENTY TO DO Lester Brotherton Writes Interesting Letters of His Experience. That musicians in the service of Uncle Sam haven't the easiest job in the world and in reality see a lot of interesting and thrilling times, is shown in letters from Corporal Lester Brotherton, 17th F. A.

Band. Brotherton says: Septeber 3. Dear Dad: I received your letter the day before yesterday and I will try and finish this letter to you today. do not know that we turned our instruments in for storage and are honest soldiers now. Yes, about two weeks ago we turned the instruments in for storage and have been doing everything for Stable police to Engineers' work.

Last night we left our camp about 5:30 to do some work. We have had so much rain and the mud is so deep that it is hard to get around. But these things never stop a "Yank." If things slow up because we lack a few men the bands step in and ao their bit. Well, as i started to we walked about 15 kilometers or twelve miles, to our work and got there about 8:00 o'clock. We worked hard carrying stone, filling holes, until 12::00 o'clock and then started back for our camp, 15 kilos.

If you are in the wet for almost two weeks and can't get dried out once, and take a hike like this in mud, 1 can say knee deep, half of the time, a man is bound to be all in. Wei; this band did this and I must say: It was done voluntarily. The Captain asked if we would like to do the work to help the cause. Every man gave his services and we are all back safe. This isn't the first time this has been done, by the way.

I am writing this to you hoping the censor will let it through because I have heard that men have said. "Well, he is in the band and they are not doing anything over there." You will know that a bandman will do his bit if given a chance. If a man tells you that your son, a as well as other fathers' sons in the A. F. don't do their bit.

tell them they are d- liars, and if they say anything tell them I said so. I am in hopes that the censor lets this pass. Further on in the letter Corporal Brotherton again refers to the work: of the band that night. "You will not see this little of last night, that. I wrote about nor will anyone who wasn't here.

Only a few hours after that we were following the. retreating Huns. We passed their trenches and posts that they had yesterday a. and what a change. Our artillery made a mess of things." With respect to the casualty lists, Corporal Brotherton gives the advice which is worth taking: "Mother, I am going to asK one thing of you and I'll almost demand it; and that is, forget about the casualty list in the papers.

They don't concern you at all. I ask this of you, because I know by your letters that you are worrying about me." On October 6 Corporal Brotherton writes. Dear Mother: I wrote to yo ua few days ago. but will write again today it being Sunday, and I haven't a great deal to do today. I am enjoying almost zero weather and in tents, too.

You see we don't need to go to Northern Michigan to get cold weather and live in tents. We haven't our instruments and we need not worry about playing. At present we are doing everything from K. to John Allo's work, mostly the latter. IT MUST HAVE BEEN A TERRIBLY RUDE AWAKENING From a certain well known Esrunaba man, whose word has rover been questioned, comes this story of a Gladstone hunter who rallied forth last week with a new run and a perfectly good license, to annex his annual allotment of denison.

He was optomistic and enthuslastic, but inexperienced. Cornell was the center of his cetivities. It required but an hour --at least so the story goes--for him to get into the woods and get back, dragging his prey, tagged pa dready for shipment. The hunter was astounded because the natives laughed. He didn't know for some hours why they really lad 28 laugh The deer asn't a deer at all.

mean this literally. We mean that mechanical accounting cuts the labor in half in many accounting tasks. The Remington Accounting Machine cuts in half the time cost, the labor cost, and the number of clerical workers required. And that last is a vital consideration in these days when clerical workers are becoming scarce. For example, take the old -written ledgers.

Have you followed the recent progress of mechanical accountancy in this field? The Remington Accounting Machine handles the ledger with a saving in time, cost, and clerical labor. Furthermore, it error-proofs the work at every step. It will give you mechanical proofs which can only be obtained by tedious rechecking under old methods. When your ledgers are posted on the Remingion Accounting Machine all accounts are kept in perpetual balance. Every addition and subtraction on the sheet is mechanically calculated and the total debit and total credit postings are automatically recorded.

To all of these advantages are added typewriter speed, and neater and better records. We can prove to you, if you will give us the opportunity, that you cannot afford to keep your books in the old way. Remington Typewriter Co.
