B eer Ruthin: „ Finally * t last we have come to a ranting place, and l think this spot will be out camp fo r a few weeks. This part o f France is surely a strange place so fa r as regards cus­ toms and habits o f people. We are delighted w ith the people o f the little villages hew and there throughout the country. The houses and barns are built as one building. I have a pretty good place in upstairs o f hay­ loft. You can't imagine how we ad­ just ourselves to so many new con- * ditiens, but it becomes easy after four weeks knocking about. I have already seto, quite a b it ot France from the railroad.' We passed, thru Paris on way to our present camp, but o f course did -not see the city. We are quite a distance from the battle line, but I expect we will see it before mhnv weeks.

Cecil, • Somewhere in France, July 3 ,1 9 1 8 / To kn ow ,ju st what to write and when t o begin a real letter would be somewhat o f a' puzzle, A s f o r a real one haven’t written any since leavmg U. S. and that has been over four weeks. A few postals and- short notes and that is all. Am somewhat settled fo r a short time so will partly make up what.I ’ve lost. W e have been at our present location over a ‘ week- ana everything is going nicely. Readly I en joy the place and the people that live here. I t i s auite a novelty .to be thrown in ‘ with people that speak a, different language* and have the fun o f trying to interpret it. I am picking up some Prench already and ge t along ■with i t fairly well. I can .generally make myself understood, but can t .grasp their conversation. They seem to talk so fast. 'T h e n they.use so many French words with which I Um not acquainted. I am trying to learn more o f the language from a French ’---------- .

I received my first mall On Friday o f last week, Ruto-s and Mamma’s twa letters were among them, besides seven other letters alltold. Receipt o f mail is a great event here among the boys, and we surely look forward with anticipation. We do not get but few newspapers, so you will have to write the important news. So fa r -Have received no second class mail. Received a letter from Mary Ervin and she mentioned the accident on their farm, Who . were the people living there? AS fo r Our trip here will mention some o f the interesting things, but must eliminate many which would like to tell. I wrote this letter on Satur­ day, hut it did n o t pass the censor, so am/rewriting. — 1— - it is abso­ lutely necessary to prevent certain, in­ formation from leaking out. We left an Atlantic Port the . first part o f June and spent nearly two Weeks on the water. These were surely tiresome days, in fact the most Weari*: some days I have ever spent in all m y life. I made the best o f i t and got thru as'well or better than many. I did not get seasick, and there were few that escaped, O f courae we did not get the pleasure of riding first class.” 'W e landed somewhere in Eng­ land without evert a submarine scare on all our trip. In England we spent a few days here and there at rest camps. Our first one gave us a five mile match, seeming rather tiresome, after being cooped UP so long. We marched thru one o f England’s cities and had Our first introduction to Johnie Bull’s. While at our first rest camp we had a good impression o f the war and its results. They surely are hard hit and one was made to realise what war means* I surely enjoyed the beautiful seen ery o f England, especially the manner in which decoration is carried out by the natives o f the country, I might say American architecture surpasses the English in beauty, hut it is tb beautiful -yards, lawns, shrubbery and vines that make them So enhancing and quaintly beautiful. This the Eng­ lish people seem to fully realize. ■ From the first camp we traveled b y rail to the next in that country.

From reports the trip was \ very pleasant one and the boys ‘eceived a.very cordial reception while ‘n England. The following greeting vas given each by King George, some­ thing that will be prized: ‘ "Soldiers o f the United States, the ueople o f the British Isles, welcome you on your way to take your stand beside the armies o f many Nations, now fighting m the Old World, the greatest battle fo r human freedom, The Allies will gain new heart and spirit in your comnany.

Farmers and contractors that had frequent dealings with the company in the na­ ture o f custom work now realize what a loss it is hot to have such a plant in their midst. One and all hope th a t' the 'mill can be erected and equipped in the shortest space o f time. ' REPORTS SALE OF STOCK. Mr. T. H. Kelly, o f Dayton, rep­ resenting the Dayton Power and Light Company, was in town Monday evening looking after the company’s interests.

Already more than 833,00ft worth o f stock has been sold, which is considered remarkable at the present time. LOW FARE FOR STATE FAIR.

The engines are capable o f throwing 7S0 gallons- o f water 1,209 feet high per minute. Our requirements have not reached this stage;- Council then -voted fo r repairs on the steamer thru a Dayton concern, the cost o f which- no one could esti­ mate. Only about eighteen ^months ago more than $350 in repairs was put bn the engine. Council is al­ most unanimously o f the opinion that it is a waste o f money to repair toe steamer but such is necessary at this time to give us any fire protection. Last Saturday an employe ’o f the Dayton company replaced two bad tubes in the steamer, but found the boiler in bad shape. I t could not be told what toe condition o f the other tubes were in until they were taken out. Member Smith asked the boiler expert what he thought o f the con­ dition o f the steamer and hig reply was that it was only good .until i t blow up. When this might happen he could not say, hut it does not speak well fo r our future fire protec­ tion. Whatever is purchased must be at a price much greater than that which prevailed before toe war. . ORDINANCE No, 94. .
