CEDAKVILLE, OHK& tfARCa 29, 1918 =r PRICE, *1.00 AJYEAR Letter From P. H. Creswefl. , Feb, Id, 1918. Editor of the Htiajd; . DOor Friend; Some time ago I be- H»ve I wrote you somqfchjH* about ojy tnp oyer and told you T would writ* again whoa" I 'really got into training, I don't know whether I bad ever been up to that time or not. But a* it has been raining and snow* ■"“ *nd a t times sleeting for the . .. , ...... v„. ........................ -good iok barracks and all have plenty.of aruceta (a t present I have. eight), SUd the mess hall is only 100 feet away, so there is Mo necessity of be- lug cold. . Lately they have been making home improvements around here by put* -ting In good irpfl ‘beds with'springs and mattresses, now we have white sheets and pillows aqd pillow cases; apd a few days ago they completed the hot shower baths and that cer­ tainly pleased moat; everyone, fo r now baths come semi-weekly instead of semi-annually. And a few days ago we got in a new bunch of cooks/ who ate rapidly' learning how -to pre­ pare something besides macaroni and spaghetti, We gave them a .public vote of thanks yesterday because we had only bad it’qfice in. two days. „But really the food is very-good, and since n new detachment of CSdetk came down from France and told ns dll.their hardships there, we realize, a little as -to how fortunate Wewere to have been sent doWnhere immediatly. ■, Sometimes i t seems quite a long While since I enlisted and .that train/ tog has, been', rather slow/ but over "here training is done very differently; A certain number of men are assign­ ed to one instructor and are given­ training in landings and getting off - 7 -toe two most difficult things to do. In a ’fifteen minute lessen about IQ landings ate made. ' The air work Seems to coma natural and also a lot -is learned from. Watching other planes in the a i r / I t is required that one, must stay, -op the field during dying hours, and it is a serious of­ fense to H caugM in barracks during, that time. I had 26 lessons on'dual control between Becember.2'and January 29, and then on account of had weather t didn't go fo r my first" solo until February 26-*-jUst six -months to the day since I- .enlisted. . I don't/think I can describe my first solo fo r l was so “blooming” busy. I don't remem -her mack Shout it, But I think J _ {y in must ewes patient, in­ structor wasn't there to correct any mistakes I might have made. And I am: tick backward in saying4that I Was pretty nervous and shaky for , th e first few Bights, ^ To dkte 1 have made IS ftfgtos and haven't had a mishap so far, and dm nearly thru the hardest part of the First Brevet Just now I am learning to do Steep banks and quick - turns’ from the glide, with motor “cut'' (that is idling), and in sqnie cases it required' that banks bf 66 degrees he .done. And when i t goes - past 46. degrees the ' controls, become reversed and the elevator-becomes the .rudder snd’ toe rudder becoms the elevator, These machines, will easily do vertical or 99 degree spirals, but I get all the thrills I want a t any- firing past 46 degrees. For the most of the'time it has been very warm here, especially about noon, and the heat from the ground forms “air pockets'* and sometimes I can almost imagine I am driving the Overland, a t about 40 miles along the stretch between Uncle George's gate and his tenerit house, At least the bumps are about the same. - ( ^ But dying bps proven quite a hard job, and is most awfully tiresome for the beginner, for the most part com­ ing from tpe nervous strain, bx& there are so many gauges and meters to watch that it_gensrally keeps one p re tty ‘busy, The control of the machine i t very simple, and in most cases is automatic long before one leaves dual control. The sense of balance becomes very sensitive add you can tell the relative position of the machine without 'looking a t the wings, If we have good weather and I have nd mishap, I hope to finish my Second Brevet-some time in the latter part of March and soon after should get my commission. I guess not every Ope has f< trfo r in the past J*.... kWh Ifi letters and SMILEAGE books fo r THE SOLDIER BOYS - GIVEN m W.D.

' LECTURE -COURSE COMMITTEE MAKES SELECTIONS FOR OUR NEXT COURSE T?e'newlyelectediecturecourse com­ mittee took up toe work in a hurry and in doing so have been able to get better talent than by waiting until later in the season. The coure is without question the best ever offered this community and we doubt if the county seat can. boast of having more high class numbers in one season. . As intimated at the closing number more than a week ago, in order that the standard"of at-, tractions be kept up, it will be neces­ sary for an increase in toe price of season tickets. There- can be no< alarm -over this when it is considered memoered, that that the course has one number that,were lost Whitt brings almost that" amount in the down, cities when Russell H.

STORES WILL CLOSE THREE NIGHTS WEEKLY The merchants have Signed an agreement that will cloBe the stores three nights each week. Under the fuel administration ordrs the stores have closed evenings for several weeks and this will no doubt be in force again next winter. That tihe merchants might have part of the evenings of the week for their own pleasure, on agreement has been reached whereby all except the restaurants and drugstores will close *on Monday, Wednesday and Friday nights at Bix o’clock- That the propo­ sition is popular is proven by the fact that all the merchants signed. We ore sure the public will approve of their stand. . The following have agreed to close: G. A, Shroades, B. H. Little, Home Clothing Co„ L. H. Sullenberger, W­ W. Trouts, J. E. Post, C.

RAZING ANCIENT BUILDING. Mr. Frank Townsley, who , owns what was formery the Rakestraw property on North Main street, which has been quite an eyesore to that part of town, is having the struc­ ture razed and the lot cleared off. Mr. Townsley expects to build a modern home there but it is indefinite when this will be done. The- fact that archi­ tects looked over toe site this week indicates that probaby the time may not be far off.

We have often heard that it was no; small honor to be drawn as a juryman in the United Statea Court in Cin­ cinnati. If such is the case we had. that honor severaldays ago,but found it necessary to decline the offer, which however Was not voluntary- but mandatory, according to the notice from 'toe United States Marshal, Knowing that such service would take us from our business the most o f toe time for toe next four months' we solicited the support o f some of our good friends who have state-wide influence, and our' case was presented to the Court in the proper form, add Judge Hollister kindly granted our releam, for *11 of which we a te very thankful. ’ .
