Before I left home I believe X promised to write you: once in 6 while, sa as I have finished my lessor for the day I will a t least try to ful- my promise. I t seems only a fey. days smce "Doc" Winter, George Smith, ‘‘Shorty’*Gromweli and “Doc* Richards drove me to Xenia one rainy night.in October hut in reality ' it has been nearly two months. So many things have 'happened, that we* haven't noticed the time go by. When I left home I had not the . slightest idea as to where I might be S6nt although I wasn't surprised when we were ordered to Mirteola Expected to. be' sent to England loanee or Egypt but had no idea I Would be lucky ,enough to be sent . here. This is undoubtedly the best ..school in -the world and only a very 'few nave been sent here from Ameri­ ca. 1 Our trip was wonderful indeed an t will long be remembered by all. - Oi course" it was not always like riding a Pullman in America or sleeping ih a first class hotel. A t one place' I did not have my clothes off for fom nights and lived on canned beef and . hard tack, But that was the ex­ ception rather than the rule fo r on the whole we got fine treatment* and every convenience t possible. One Worst trouble has been tha t We los't our baggage and- it has hot beer, found, yet we are hoping it will turn up in a few days, For advice' tc those Who are to follow* "Hold on .tc your baggage at all costs/* f o r i t k -like looking for a needle in the hay stack to hunt in over here. All the transportation facilities' are very 1 much disconcerted and also very un­ certain. Then it is nice to have a change of clothes once in a while When the clothes arrive we will be- in good circumstances and have lit- ' tie in wish for. I am getting along fine in the new ' game of flying. -It certainly is a very enjoyable sensation and alsD.a fascinating one. ■ I have had hut 100 minutes in .the air*, yet it beats any riding I ever had in an automobile, ' The one thing that astonished me was, that everything on the ground stands out so very ' distinct. You seem to float in the air instead of 'go-' ing like an' express tram as it would seem. Another thing that astonished me was that T was not scared to , death, You do not haye any sen­ sation of . your stomach floating away as one would expect. We have the best of instructors and the finest machines. .My,ears are giving me a little trouble at great struggle, I never thought' that America fully realized the venture upon which she has entered, and am more firmly con* vinced of i t since arriving' here. They are .placing implicit confi­ dence in our great' National Army and it must not betray them for real­ ly I believe it is up to America to turn the tide of victory in the great­ est Cause for which a man ever fought. The Italians here are taking, great interest |n us and have startea classes in the'language a t night to which we all are invited. The school was opened last night, the major • general for .this district formerly re­ ceiving each one of us.- I am enjoying the- b e s t.of health and can only wish as much for my friends at home, Xwould appreciate letter,? more than anything else at present. My best regards to everyone, CADET PAUL H. CUESWELL, 8th Aviation Inst, Dep, A, B. F, France, U, 5, Air Service. HEALTH BOARD HAS NO CONTROL OVER PRESENT VACCINATION PRICES So many complaints came to the Board of Health over the prices local physicians were charging for vaccina­ tions so a special meeting was held Wednesday evening with all three physicians present, Complaints came not only from families not able to pay but from others who held the •price- of $1 was exorbitant. It was stated that prices in Xenia were from 150-cents to $1 and that one physician was making no charge. The physicians held that the in­ creased cost- of'the vaccine points along with “other necessities had in­ creased ip Cost and that the dollar charge whs not out of the way. This brought but the cost of the points; that a local druggist sold them to tlu* physicians, for 51,50 a dozen. Anothv kind of vaccination used in Xenia co&« $2,80 a hundred. ThC Board, of Health decided thn* it had no- jurisdiction over physician* prices. Agreement was reached .be­ tween the board arid the physicians as to -charges for vaccination among’ the poor. The price was’ fixed at seventy-five cents each, which will be paid by the -corporation. I t also developed that the board had no authority to older the vaccination of school pupils, that this power was with the (school board. Many families haye objected to the vaccination theo­ ry regardless of the physicians prices. The school board has the same power the city boards have wherein all chil­ dren must be vaccinated before ad­ mission is granted. >, F i lm OIODARVII.LI3, OHIO, MDAY, JANUARY . 11,1918 PRICE, *1.00 A YEAR Prominent Citizen i ANNUALMEETING Drop, Dead!“ SrSrSS'.™ t Will SjUk, Club, Tuesday Xenia, S£ 1 b e f e n Tacob 'the' Holiday vacation until; Mrs. William ^Barber.

Juflging from city reports and from the viewpoint of the politician© that have the matteu in charge one would1 think that all one has to do in a ru­ ral community is to go the woodsmnd cut all'the wood necessary. Probably 25 per cent of the farms -in this sec­ tion have no timber whatever. So far .as town people are concerned it is as hard ta' get wood as coal. With the farmer that has not been in the habit of burning wood but us­ ing hard coal, as most of them do, he cannot hum wood in such a stove and finding a wood stove is even harder than locating wood .or coal. Unless coal is received the schools will likely have to tlose within the next week or ten days. Most of our’ public buildings are heated with gas. Those from here that ordered their auto tags previous to the first of the year have no cause to worry accord­ ing to advice from headquarters ’In Columbus. The department has been swamped with orders and cannot fill them on time. Extra help has been provided, and it is expected that each tag will'be forthcoming in due time. BOARD OF HEALTH. The local Board of Health follow­ ing the development of another ease small pox ordered all the "pupils irt the public schools as well as the stu­ dents in the college to be vaccinated or be quarantined and remain off the streets. The case is that of Carrie Marshall, daughter of Mjt*. and Mrs. George Marshall, who is in the lower grades of the school. It is reported the little girl took some fruit to the- Shcety family just fourteen days ngo, Monday, when the Sheeley's were still under quarantine. She went no closer than the door and so far as known has not been exposed elsewhere. The board has organized by elect­ ing the new member, J. H. McMill­ an as president; W;. P. Townsley, clerk, and IL A. McLean as health officer. The other members are W. H. Barber, Arthur Townfcley, C. N. Stuckey and Frank Wisecup, GAS BILLS PAYABLE AT J. W.

He found the makers had dis­ continued the patterns. He couldn’t match them ^nto sets, neither could he put “rugs in one size only” in his catalog.

Ohio Fuel ^Supply Co, comes the an­ nouncement that the .local office will be closed. Manager Irwin for this district was in town Friday and ar­ ranged to have the monthly gas hills paid at J, W, Johnson's jewelry store. Reports of complaints and for the disconnection of meters can be left there and an employee of the Xenia branch will he sent here to do the work. DR. FOSTER RESIGNS * The frVndn «f Dr. H. 0.
