Service, who was formerly assistant cashier of the Citi-zens State Bank, and who is now at IS. O. S-- Base Sec. No. 5 Depot Q. M. Na a, P. S. 1A. P. 0. No. 716, Ameri-ca- o Ex. F. France. His letter which was dated July 21 reads as follows: "What do you think of the Ameri-can boys in the trenches and in the clouds as well as tho boys riding the wild waves? Are they not doing good work? I'm not speaking of the boys in the S.iO. S. (Service of Supply) which being translated means 'Ser-vice in the Hear." I do not mean those fellows although they have their work to perform and must keep the front supplied with food, guns, lead, medical supplies and everything else used by an army, but the boys up far-ther, who are really doing things. when I get back to my outfit. A let ter is sure a great treat and I sure appreciate your being so prompt in writing after you found out I was on this side. And say, I'm getting a chance to get a lot of good out of the things that the Red Cross are do-ing for us boys, and 9 sure appreciate it - --.r-.: "It Bure seems quiet back here af-ter being up on the front where the big shells are bursting and the big guns making all sorts of racket I sure hope that we can clean up the Huns soon and get back. While I like It over here and have had the best of treatment, I would like to . be back In the States on account of mother. The last letter I got from her she said she was feeling real well.' ; - s .. : Surely they deserve a great deal of credit for the splendid way they have been behaving. "Of course this counter attack is only one of the battles of the great war, but will do a world of good. If the Americans ever needed encour-agement this "holding; and "driving" say nothing of the discouragement the poor deluded Hun will be forced to accept. That "insignificant American army" will have gained proportions In the minis of the German soldiers. , "How do the people back home ac-cept theso advances? I can see head-lines a large as all outdoors on all the American newspapers, and see the celebrations on many of the stages particularly fn the larger cities. What a wild time there will be when it is all over. ' lo Ion"? and myself were going to work the other day and lo and be-hold; we met face to face with "Loot" Fitzgerald. ; That young Fitzgerald boy I believe his name is Bert sec-ond lieutenant in the signal corps. We were certainly pleased to see him. It brought a touch of home to us. Three of us all from Bingham, talking on the street corner Just like old times. He looked well and said he felt well. Only arrived this week, He"nas some-thing to look, forward to." '.f ; The following ietter was received by (B. (Bolotas of Copperfield from Pete Tpsilantis, who is now with the army in France: f "I arrived in iFrance three days ago and have already seen many Interest-ing things. "Everything over here is tor the soldiers, and all the peoples are soldiers except the women and the kids. 1 like army life very much, and I am glad to see France again as I always liked the country and the people here. Say hello to your broth-ers and the other boys." Another letter is from Edgar Hock-en- , who was recently wounded In bat-tle on the western front His letter is dated August 21, and explains h's wound which he says is not serious. It was written to one of his Wends here and is as follows: "A few lines to let you know that I am still thinking of --you, and that I got wounded in spite of the picture vou sent 'no. You remember vou said you thought that if I carried It with me it would stop all the Hun bullets. I got hit on the left leg, just a small wound and I e"xpect to be out after the IHuns again in a very short time. This is sure a great, life here. Lots of nice big shade trees with benches and chairs to lay around on. And en-tertainment jt some kind nearly ev- - ry evening. Jlenty of gocd eats and lots of paper and plenty of chance to catch up with my writing. "It has been some time since I re-ceived a letter from any one. I hope there will be some waiting for me The following letter is from Flying Cadet A. U. Nehl of Berkeley, Califor-nia, to C J. IMeyers: "I've been going to write and give you h for some time," but haven't had time. We are waiting for our pay and won't be on the iine for an hour yet., so I'm taking advantage of it in getting a couple of letters oft Our pay here is a Joke. You know, we are expected to live like officers even if we are only privates and our army pay Just about pays for our laundry, insurance, shoe shines and postage stamps. There are fellows here who have three or four suits that cost any where from $70 to $100 each. They soak us $5 for a pair of leggings. I paid $8.2b for my hat and braid, $15 for a pair of shoes, and everything in proportion. It is a great life, but 1 can't say that I would taka five thou-sand dollars to quit I think I've got a petV ralr chance to make it now. You know how tough the examina-tions were and all that sort of thing. They turned me d(jwn in Portland and Seattle, but you know me Al. I stayed with them and got in. Out of 74 that came in when did the 20th of July, 38 have gone up before the benzine board. That Is the board that decides your noodle don't work fast, enough to run' a ship', but on account of vour fine physique and intelligent 'looks they don't want to lose you in the air service, so you can goto one of the flying fie'ds to flunkey for the fellows that get commissions aa fliers, and your job may be anything from wiping off his engine on down and you ar darn lucky to get a chance at that. "Of course I haven't got my com-mission yet by a darn sight, and may never get it, but I'm jfast the worst of it, and I figure my chances Just a little better than even. If I do her get and you come down some time I'll take you out for a ride that will beat the one we took to Salt Lake that night. "I got a letter from Oarby a day or two ago and he is pulling down the kale in great shape. He said that his check was over a hundred dollars clear last month, and that there was not a thing to do with it except play poker, and, that the boys didn't seem to understand the game as it is ed in the greatest copper camp in the world. I suppose that means that Darby is banking another hundred a month besides his wages. Well, here's good luck to him. I got a let- ter from Bingham yesterday saying that they had a nice little blaze tip in the tenderloin. Tough luck for some of those poor devils who only had their property Insured for four or five times what it was worth. "IVell, Carl, for the love of Mike write.

A new treaty signed in Berlin between Bolshevikl-con-trolle- d Russia and Germany provides that, If the Russians fight against the allies in the north, Germany will guar-antee no attack against Russia by Fin-land. f Germany further guarantees that the coasting and fishing fleets of Rus-sia and Finland now in Russian wa-ters will not be molested.

Saturday night passed and nothing was heard of him and wiien it appear-ed almost a hopeless case of finding him, at about o'clock on Sunday afternoon the boy walked in. He stat-ed that he and another boy got on a horse in the lower part of the can-vo- n and rode way down into the val-ley where the horse was released. It then being about night time they stop-ped at a farm house for sleeping quar-ters, and the next day walked back to town.

CAPTURE TWO BARRELS OF BOOZE MAMa OLIVE Oil ; Deputy Sheriff Ray Kenner, Mon-day captured two barrels of bottled In bond goods which were branded as olives. The goods camerom Califor-nia and as that state furnishes the olives for this section of the country It Is very easy to pee how the shipper might have gotten matters mixed. Anyway the boor.e is now with the pheriff and somebody might have a' little trouble over the matter later on. Mr. Kenner was at the station and saw the two barrels of olives and as they were being moved about It appeared to him that there mlgut be something other than olives in them, and at least he decided it would be no harm to Investigate, There were a few olives used as packing, but the main portion was booze, The price of olives and olive oil has advanced greatly during the past ' few months and so has the price of ' whiskey, but California has both these products, and In that state the pr'ce j of olive oil Is much higher than whls-- ! key, and In Bingham the price of whiskey is higher than that of olive i oil. Fo. by the California shipper put-ting in whiskey instead of olive pro--i duct he doubtless .had in mind the i faet that he would not "only be ma'.dnR money for himself but aHo for his purchaser. Just how much goods have ben shipped in this manner U a question but this Is the first that lias been cant-red- . The consignment w, ? to a con-cern in Copperfield.
