Bishop and is from his nephew Willard Bishop: Dear Uncle: Just a line because' you are interested. I, with about eighty others of squadron 57, responded to the front and center this evening and heard the Colonel say: Gentlemen,' I congratulate you on your successful completion of the course at this school. As yet we have received no orders as to your assignment Take your places and witness the batallions pass in reviejv," And, oh joy! what a difference in watching the other fellows do it, and being out there and doing it yourself. 'Expect orders to come any minute, and with them the usual pass for graduates to go home a few days fot congratulations, and then, me for home without one moment's delay. Did ever man want to Bee home more than I do now? Feel like I can hardly wait to hold my little ones in my arms again, and, if I were to speak the truth, suppose I should say, to find myself in som'e ones arms. The encouraging letters I have received from my sweetheart make me feel like I want to in person try to show her how much I appreciate the help they have been to me. . And, as I am laying all responsibility for continued absence from loved ones at the door of the kaiser, you can imagine what kind of a bomb I shall have prepared for him when I fly over Berlin. I feel sorry we all do for the boys who failed to graduate. They all worked hard, and tears were to be seen in some eyes, they felt bo badly : over it. To those who were not instructed to fall out, the day was ope of the best of their lives, for1 graduation from a military school is not accomplished ' without some effort. L for one, am glad tis over, for now we can feel that our teal work is not far distant and tilings should soon begin to happen for some of us. One of the boys just came in and said that there is talk of Macon, Ga.p for 57. We should learn definitely in the very near future. We are all hoping that it will be direct to a flying school whereever it is we are assigned. ! air Later No orders from Washington yet, but th Colonel has taken it upon himself to issue a ten day pass. Leave for . home in a few hours. Wish I could see everybody while there, but as I am to report jback here for orders October 2nd dont Buppose I shall get far from home between now and then. Give all the folks my best regards and remember me to the boys when you write to them, and if all goes well may be able to make up for that last auto ride by giving you a real one up in the air. As ever, WILLARD A. BISHOP. . w , - - ISt- - OTHA GREEN TELLS ABOUT AIRPLANE TIMBER GAME Vancouver Barracks, Wash. October 4, 1918 ' - j Editor of Weekly Reflex, Kaysville, Utah. Dear Editor: ' Thinking possibly that it may be of interest to you in knowing a few of the important things that the Spruce Production division which is a part of the Air Craft department of the U. S. Army, is doing, I am taking this opportunity to write you a few lines telling you in a brief way just what they have accomplished and of the greater things yet to be accomplished. Most people are aware that at the entrance of the United States into the that they had no airplanes or bombing machines at all. We all know e hold that the. .Industrial .Workers .World, had here .in the.. North west, especially in the states of Wash ington and Oregon in the lumber and logging camps. We are aware of the immense work that the government has done In the past few months since war was declared. Ye all know of the numerous training camps and of the vast amount f lumber which it took to build these camps. Then again, all the lom.be that is used in the budding of wooden Eips. It is wonderful when we think of what has been done by the govern- -ar , . f I i :I Liberty Bond for Each Member of the Place Your Family Order AT ONCE. KAYSVILLE, LAYTOX ANI) FARMINGTON, THURSDAY, OCTOI1ER 10, WITH THE r; A ment in the past few months. At the commencement of the war the government asked all the lumber companies of the Northwest to pm out, if possible, 10,000,000 feet of lumber a month and a large amount of this was to be spruce timber which is used in the manufacture of airplanes. They thought it would he next to im possible but tackled the job. They just got started and then the I. W. W. element got started and caused a great unrest and it upset all plans and everything came to a halt. The government realizing that-- it was necessary to 'have this spruce timber as well as the other for ship building and other government work, finally had to come to the rescue. They took over the lumber and logging industry in Jthe Northwest and started to Solve the labor question which has troubled the Northwest here for years. A very able and efficient man was placed at the head of it, who has proved himself a genius and is the most talked-o- f man in the Northwest. It is Colonel Brice P. Bisque, head of the Spruce Production division bureau of Air Craft production. He has mastered the situation entirely and has adequately solved the labor question out here and has made a most wonderful record. He has formed air the civilians into an organization known as the Loyal Legion of Loggers and Lumber Men. Both the employers and the employees belong to the organization. Before joining you take oath as to your loyalty and sincerity and to do all in your power to help win the war. He has standardized wages and everyone is entirely satisfied. He has also placed the camps on a sanitary basis, such as the army conducts at its own camps. Each lumber and logging camp has to get out 100 feet of spruce each day for each soldier they have in their camp. Each lumber camp has a number of soldiers working in the camp and they are looked after by commissioned officers and do their days wort. They arise at reville in the morning and answer at retreat when not on duty. There is no laying off only in cases of sickness and the men are entirely satisfied. They receive civilian wages which range from 80 cents per hour down to 40 cents per hour.. Their expenses are deducted. They are building railroads to the spruce forests every day and are cer tainly getting out an enormous amount of timber and spruce each month. The I. W. W. element is almost entirely done away with noV in the Northwest in the lumber camps and do not bother any moVe since the government has taken hold of the situation. As I told you when the government asked for 10,000,000 feet of timber a month they thought it impossible, but Colonel Disque has made a most won derful record. He not only reached the ten million mark but during the month of August actually cut up 30, 000,000 feet of spruce. He is trying to reach the governments request for 50,000,000 feet per month. He is going to do it very soon. The spruce timber used in the manu facture of airplanes all has to he cut the one way or what ijt knowrr as a perfectly straight grain and of the very best of wood. W not only get spruce for the use of the United States but Tor all the allied nations for the use in airplane manufacture. I am told that it takes 15Q0 feet of spruce to make one plane. But it has to be perfect wood. So you see it takes an enormous amount of sawing. None of the tree is wasted except that which cannot be helped. The cut-u- p plant here in Vancouver is the largest of its kind in the world and keeps running all the, time with the exception of Sunday. Thfy shut down at 11 oclock on Saturday night and start up at 12 oclock Sunday night There are trainloads of spruce timber going out of here every day. They also cut up great deal of the timber that is in the building of wooden ships all over the United States. I could lot begin to tell you of but just a few of the big things that are being done om here in the timber business by Uncle a eral Grant was out here when he was only a second lieutenant. It is very nice in the old barracks where 1 am. We always have hot and told water and indrvidual water basin such as you would have m a hotel such as the Hotel Utah, only our marble is dark. We. have nice showers and large white enameled bath tubs with always lots of good hot water and soap. We eat in family style the same as at up-to-d- -- home. There are some two thousand men here in the First Provisional regiment that do nothing but guard' duty here in the post and at the cut-u- p plant. Everything is conducted in the regular military order in so far as it is possible. Those men who work at the lumber companies are under military discipline as you would be in any of the large training camps. Uncle Sam has a number of ma chines of his own make over there in France now and is going to have a large number of them so that they can have one continual stream of machines in the air over the Germans heads creating havoc all the time. It takes lots of work to make an airplane as it is all done by hand and everything has to fit perfectly. .They have perfected the engine now bo that they can travel for 15,000 miles. There are now trained aviators in the United States. One should not think that this part of the Army is not doing anything, for they are certainly accomplishing wonderful things and the allied nations are depending upon this part of tilt army to get out the spruce with which to make the airplane which plays the most important part in preparing tht way for the boys over there to go over the top. .They are also taking those boys who are not fit to go overseas And ar treating them, and hundreds have undergone minor and major operations in this post and are now physically fit for overseas service. They have more commissioned officers in this division than any other division in the army. There are large numbers of medical men here who are the cream of the nation who have answered the nations call and are preparing the boys for Uncle Sams work and are making them physically fit men and the men are receiving soldiers pay and are getting the best medical and hospital attention and the best trained nurses in the world, all for nothing. I am doing clerical work and have only drilled just one week and have been treated fine. I am in a position where I can talk with the commanding officer of this post and most of the captains and other commissioned men. I am doing office work for tbs 45,-00- 0 American Re Cross which is in every army camp, both hens and abroad. They have two American Red CrosB men herein camp. These men serve without salaries. They are very capable men and look after the welfare of the soldiers here, and also in assisting their families and those dependents who are at home. The Red Cross sure accomplishes a most wonderful work. I never did realize it until I got connected up with it. The Red Cross takes care of every problem of the enlisted men, both at camp and at horns, no matter what it may be. I apa sure very proud to wear Uncls Sams uniform. One nevbr realizes fully, I think, how great it is to live under the Stars and Stripes. When I stand at Retreat and the Star Spangled Banner is played and I stand there with my gun and pack on my would back, it makes me feel that ten wall a scale feet high to get gladly at a German.

" treated, but that fatalities are shun Risks, Quit Work, Go to Bed, If Symptoms Appear. Influenza is an acute infectous disease that is highly contagious and transmitted chiefly from one individur al to another by contact. The disease of itself is generally of short duration, lasting only from five to seven days. The first symptoms are slight chilliness, sneezing, headache, pains in the back and legs, slight cough and a slight rise of temperature. It is not necessary to have all of these symptoms combined, in the beginning of the disease. quite late, but with the earnest effort of the club leaders, Mr. O. II.

During the summer some two hundred and fifty boys and girls have followed up the work under the direction of their leaders w'ith a great deal of interest. That the boys and girls can accomplish more than was ever anticipated was fully demonstrated in the various lines of work which excelled everything at the fair. Boys and girls entering this field of work are taught how to do things which will be. of great value to them in after life, at the same time increasing the efficiency in the homeland making all work easier. There is also much in store for tin. toy or girl who follows this work i to thirty-sihours, when there is a marked rise in the temperature, and all the symptoms are increased in severity, with extreme prostration causing the patient to go to bed. Avoid Crowds. The important point to the public is how one can protect himself from this disease. As the disease 'is trans mitted by direct contact, the cheif thing is to avoid crowds, especially indoors. Keep away from persons with colds, avoid poorly ventilated places and undue fatigue. A person who finds himself w'ith any of the beginning symptoms of this disease, at such a time as this should go on the theory' that he is coming down with influenza. ..There is no way of he is or not. telling exactly; However, the W'tiplan for such a perbenefit and for the son, for his benefit of his 'associates, and the public, is to go to bed immediately. Keep warm, do not permit constipation to continue, use a mild spray or douoh for tbe nose and throat and when sneezing or coughing cover the face with a mask or handkerchief. Soiled masks of handkerchiefs should be sterilized by boiling. All members of the family should be kept away from the patient, and the person waiting on the patient should wear a mask o handkerchief over the nose and mouth while i the sick room. Complications Bring Danger. The disease of itself is ordinarily not serious. The fatal result in the majority of cases results from compli x graduate, undergraduate, registered, unregistered, pupil nurses, nurses aides and the very large number of Jemi trained nurses, which include practical nurses, midwives and trained attendants.
