in talking over this matter Examiner
Jennifer said : "All classes of lahor are
heio'iitted by an equitable distribution
such as has beeu planned by the Depart
inent of labor and tried out by Its, "Em
ployment Service." The organized in
dustries throughout the country have felt
flic stimulus of this new branch of the
Kovci'iiincnt. Owing to the great short
age of rood ami its increased consump
tion, immediate efforts are uow being
made to stimulate an interest in such
labor as have to deal with the" food pro
ducts of the farm. 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.
In consideration of this fact the govern

May L'O, I1U8.
Dear Mother: 1 have heen intending
In write you for ipiite a while tint did
n't have the time ami proper envelope*.
Yesterday I walked to headquarter* nud
got some and 1 will write some now. 1
wrote you u letter about the lirst of
April and curried it in toy pocket for a
? month l>eforo I could -scud it. Then half
the time I don't know whether they will
get through for I have had some re
turned to me after I thought they had
reached you ami that is what is so ills
ltthrtenlug. I sent you some pietures of
myself and friend and they . are tough
looking 1 must confess, but they are
natural, for after going through with
what I have anyone would look tough
for there is plenty of work over here
and we are ail Ilooverizing too.
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.
I have plenty of tobaceo now. I have
bought all that I could at the Y. 1
have forty-two cans and have been siuok?
j ing cigars for tbe last six weeks, and
believe Tne I liavV money all the time.
I have from four hundred to live hun
dred francs on me all the time (that is
about eighty dollars) and I loan some
too. The letter that you clipped from
the newspaper was correct all the way
through. Air lights are as common as
a chicken light over here.

Kavo mi ii little relief. We stood around
in thc^Vrenehes and some smoked cigar
ettes ? some telling their buddies what
to do with their body if they should
eroak. I looked at a watch ami it show
ed ton to four. OriwuioiiRlly a gun
would bnrk from tbe Idilsidos behind

bend and burst with a bang six hun
dred yards away over in thf Gorman

to outer, .lust a few mlllUtCM and the
Lieutenant canto around and suid, "(Jet
ready. Sergeant". When the watch said
four a red rocket shot up in the trenches
for a signal for the barrage to start.
The guus'-began with a deafening roar,
shells were bursting all arottud as if we
were in a box and the shells bursting
all around the edges. Wo crawled up
mi the parapet ami started over. 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. We went over iu a fast walk
it ltd the shells were falling around uh
like pouring pens from a sack. You
