The desire is to help the farmer aiid the farm laborer to a mutual adjustment of all differences and to unify their efforts to increase the food products of the nation. This is the moat crucial period of the world's history and this nation lutk a .right to conserve its energies an?J direct its economic forces.

All the clot lies I have are on my back, except a suit of overalls. The country is green all over and summer time is on in full blast. We' have had a heat wave for the last week. I received ton cans of Prince Albert, but not the pasty and clothes. When 1 received the tobacco it was loose in a mail bag with a piece of board from the box with m,v name on it.

As wqpj inarched forward the shells kept burst ing in front of us. This was do^ie to keep what Germans there were ih the trenches' front getting out and to keep any front coming in on us to help their comrades.
