BROADWATER, Supervisor. - Private W. J. Parkman Writes His Mother from France. Ambly, France. December 6th. 191S. Dear Mother: 1 will write to let you know I am ! faring well, and hope this will find . all well. . Mother, I hope you all will have a good Christmas. Wish I could be with you. but guess I will be there soon, as I think it wont be long before we sail for home. They are going to let us bring our gas masks and steel hel mets home with us for souvenirs. I will surely bring mine for I know you would like to see them, j I hope you are getting along with everything all right. Send Raymond and Joe to school every day you can, land keep Wilbur with you until I get r TH-- a: raiS:r"thougi.. How is Mr. Han ur : getting along? Has he moved? Don't g?ess he has. There are sure lots of soldiers lover here, all wanting to come home. I saw eighty trucks full in one row, it was- ''some" show. I will have lots to ?tell you when I get home. Sure have seen a lot since I have been over in France. All the buildings are made of stone. I saw some buildings that da ted back as far as 1750. Mamma, there is one boy that has been with me ever since 1 have been lin the army. He is from Rock Hill, S. ;C. He certainly is a fine boy, says he is going to visit me when we get j home. I haven't seen George Logue since i October. He was in the hospital when I was transferred and I haven't heard from him, hope he is all right. Il saw Will Bryant though, and he is I fine j I hope to be home soon. Will close j for this time. With love to all. From your son, William J. Parkman. Don't You Forget lt.

W?\ Splendid Catches and High Pricer Have Been the Rule Among Them for Many Years Now. The herring fisher works always on the night shift, not because the Ash feed nt night-herring take no known bait-but because they.can be seen at night. Taking their cue from the whale or seagull as to the location of the her ring, the boats go olT two hy two (for they work always in couples) late in the evening to the Ashing ground. Ar rived there, they stop their motors, and gliding silently over the dark wa ters they look for the fish. One of the men humps the anchor I two or three times on the bow of the boat, and instantly a patch of water lights up with a bright phosphorescent gleam. It is the berrin?:, and the ring net (now more generally used in the west of Scotland than the drlftnet) is lowered. It is held up by corks and has a small light at one end. This the partner boat picks up; they circle around the herring until the two boats come together, when most of the men climb into one boat, where they draw the net, with the herring, on board. In this little Highland village the men of the last two generations have done well with the fishing. Their boats, complete with nets and motor, cost between ?800 and ?400. but only the other night a couple of boats, own ed by brothers, divided ?750 between them for one night's catch.-London Mail. COMFORT BAGS PLEASE ALL Nothing Given Out by the Red Cross ls More Appreciated by the Soldiers on Service. Tho following is an extract from a letter of a Ked Cross hospital repre sentative: ''The men like the comfort kits bet ter than anything the lied Cross gives them. AVe have asked dozens of them what they like best of all that is given them-tobacco, magazines, amuse ments, etc.-and they all say at once the comfort kits and toilet articles. They come in from the front without, even a toothbrush, and when. I send the bags around hy the other patientsT they come back and say: 'Say, you oughter see how pleaded those guys were-they said it was just like Christ mas. They were all sitting up in bed looking at the things in their bags.' "The other day one man who had lost his right hand, called me over to him and said: 'Here, I'll donate my sewing-kit. My wife has got to do mine after this. I'm out of it. Yoj can give this to some niher fellow who needs it.' He had heard the others asking for sewing-kits all down the ward. They are in great demand and very hard to get." Gift From French Republic. Three phrases from President Wil son's war messages will be woven in a costly Gobelin tapestry France ls having made as a gift to the city of Philadelphia. The tapestry is to be hung in the museum in the Quaker city nnd is about to be placed in the hands of the workers nt the famous Gobelin factory for completion, recording to an exchange. The tapestry will be 21 .?et by 15 .o ?uore precious than peace." "We have no selfish end to serve and desire no conquest and no domina tion." "We shall fight for democracy." Horsemen Knew Their Business. The value of having practical horse men in charge of remount camps is shown in provisions made for shelter. When it came to building the great depots requited at each nf the camps they ordered open sheds instead ol barns-or for the severe northern eli mntc. sheds closed on one side. Tc the dty-bred humanitarian who saw thousands of Uncle Sam's horses and mules standing out in the cold, this seemed cruel, and complaint was en tered, lint by practical test it was shown that the horsemen were right Those animals which were housed ur. did not thrive as well as tjie ones which were kept in the open. AVher talking with the head of the remount division the thing he was most prone of was the fact that our horses wen kept lu better condition with fewei losses, than the horses of England oi France, and that we did this with ? much smaller man force, largely be cause we give them open-air treut ment. Lookouts Develop New Disease. "Eye work is perhaps Ihe bigges part of submarine hunting," write William G. Shepherd, in Everybody's "and it has its evils and penalties ? Woe to the man ou a destroyer who ii gifted with that strange, unexplain able talent of being able to see b; night. There be such. His is almos a IM-hour-a-day task. And he fi nail; gets the 'periscope eye' and is sen ashore to get well, if he can. Hi; eyes weep tears of pus by day and after sleep, his lids are glued logethe with granulation. It is a new diseas' of this mad century. " 'You keep looking through thost. high-powered binoculars like an oli laily reading through her spectacles one o? t?ic boys explained to me, 'mill finally they seem to be pulling you eyes out of their sockets."
