Soldiers' Letters
In this issue again appears more
letters from soldiers. Of course
tbese are private letters and were
written without any thought of publication. We are very glad indeed to
publish such letters. They give us a
glimpse of soldier life and how it is
viewed by tbe boys themselves. We
bave several more and they will be
published as rapidly as we can reach
distribution of the corn at cost in
their localities. In portioning out the
shipments the needs of communities,
tiie source of the corn and its adaptation will ali of then be considered.
Individuals in need of seed, tiie instructions read, Bbould get in touch
with their county agents and local
grain dealers to ascertain where they
can secure a supply.

The many friends of Andrew Du-
Bois bere will read the following
with interest:
While working at the electric light
plant Wednesday nigbt, Andrew Dubois met with an accident that nearly
cost his life. There was trouble on
the line and be started tbe big engine
to belp carry the load. He wore
gloves, but somehow, as he threw the
switch, the current of 19,000 volts
passed though him. It jumped the
glove and burned his wrist and band,
going out through bis left heel and
burning the fleah to the bone He fell
against the swltch-t oard and go* two
frightful burns on his back.
He was not unconscious, and called
to his companion, who called Dr. Pui-
len. Mr. Du Bois was brought to th.6
office and all possible for bim was
done, but it is said he is very badly
injured. It is hoped that his hand
can be saved.
Mr. Du Bois lives on the W6.st Side

1 have just listened to a musical

always bas a good program cf some

like to stroll in and enjoy a good
time. I tell yea if it was not for tbe
good work of the the Y. M. C. A.
there would be almost no entertainment in tbe army bnt wbat is demoralizing. The men wben left to

to base songs and smutty suggestions. When people are trying to

I know tbere are those who doubt
its worth and say mean things abont
it but I can tell you the good it does
outweighs the evil tbat is uncorrected
a hundred times. 1 know because I
am on tbe inside. I have been
rather skeptical myself before joining tbe army of the merit and worth
of its work, bnt I am a hearty supporter of the V. M. C. A. for the
