THEIR WAR BOYS Write to Mrs. Gilpen’s Sunday School Class of the Methodist Church FROM CAMP SHELBY Tells of the Pleasures as Well as the Drill Duties of Camp. Mrs. Wash Gilpin and her Sunday school class, "The Ever Ready" class of the Methodist church, have received the following letters from Dewey Hooker and Virgil Cross, the two soldiers whom this class adopted, as other classes adopt soldiers, nnd remember them with letters and gifts while they are away: 9amp Shelby, Oct. 27 Mrs. Gilpin:— 1 will answer your kind and welcome letter which I was very much pleased to get from you. I wish to apologize to you for not writing sooner as 1 am so interested in my duties that 1 had entirely forgotten to write. My mind is continually on my duties as I want to rise higher than a private. I was sure glad to get that box. It sure did come in handy, for home things makes me feel like I have got an entirely new life being out here among the new things that you don't get to see around home. Your things tasted mighty tine. It was entirely different than we get out here. I would be very much obliged to you if you would make me a gun case for I am greatly in need of one. if it is not too much bother for you to make it. I do not know how to repay you for your generosity in taking so much pains in me for only being a poor boy giving up his life if need be for his country and his flag. Well, I will tell you something about the camp life. It is a very good camp but we have not got a very good place to drill. It has been cleared of trees and bushes and It Is very stumpy and weedy, and we can’t move around very fast. We are learning our new drills. I think it will be harder than the Infantry. Well, this is Sunday and I am in the army Y. M. C. A. They surely treat a fellow good in these buildings. They give you writing paper, ink, pen and envelopes. They have picture shows on certain nights. One Friday nights is known as “stunt” night, that is when the regiments get together and have boxing and wrestling contests. It is interesting to see them. Oh yes, I came near leaving this out, that we had church today. I would not leave that out for anything. I like to go to church and hear the chaplain speak of our great Lord and His doings. It makes me have a now feeling. I sure would like to be there to hear Rev. Thornburg preach. I like to hear him. All I can do Is to hope and pray that the war will soon be over and I can come home and he in peace once more but as long as they need me I am willing to stay and do my part. 1 will never be a slacker for my grandfather fought for me and I am willing to do my part to help save the country once more and dear old .glory. Well, my duties call me and I will have to close. I will write more next time, so good bye and answer soon. From DEWEY HOOKER p s,—j woud like to hear from some of the girls in your class of they care to write to me. < Camp Shelby, Oct. f7 Dear Friend: — I received your cards and your box of eats also. I thank you all very much. My, you can’t Imagine how much good that does a fellow to get a box like. that. It lasted 3 days. The first we ate was the chicken, beets, pickles and butter. Os course 1 had to divide up with my squad for it doesn’t look right to set down at the same table with them and eat it HI by yourself. Some times they get boxes sent to them and I always expect to help them eat theirs. I still have a box of butter and the jelly left yet. I have the butter in a refrigerator keeping It from spoiling. Our squad Is mighty lucky when it comes to getting boxes with eats in them. I went out for a walk today to see as much of the camp grounds as possible and took my dinner with me. I had some of those buns left and some butter and I had a few crackers and peanut butter to eat for dinner. I am sending a piece of paper that is about the shape of our guns. You want to allow for seams. The gun <s j about U 4 inch thick and you don’t want to make it a bit shorter thani the paper is. If anything m»k* it s|

little hu longer. You tfofit need to trim It In red or ony thing, just make u plain: cade. If you can got bfuwu tafivas or khaki to make it with that will he all right. Dewey's gun Is the same size that mine is. Well. 1 am running short of news »o must close, hoping to hear from you soon. I remain as ever, PVT. VIRGIL A. CROSS Battery A, 139th U. S. F. A.

C„ Nov. o.—One of the manifold problems presented hv Ihe war is that of furnishing adequate office accomodations for the thousands of additional officials, clerks, and other federal servants who are pouring Into Washington. The government is exercising Its prerogative in this direction and has commandeered conveniently located office buildings and apartment houses with a free hand, in addition, it is erecting huge temporary structures for use as offices, and in the building of these contractors are breaking time records for construction work. A building to house the six hundred officials and clerks of the Council of National Defense, containing more than 100,000 square feet of floor space, was erected and fuily equipped In fifty-three days. Similar buildings nearby are for the use of the forces of the Food Administration, Fuel Administration and Army Ordnance. Work is well under way on a mammouth structure which will cover three city blocks to house the overflow of the war and navy departments, the contract for which calls for completion in four months. By these methods the government keeps in advance of its actual needs. At the present rate of increase the usual 35,000 federal employees in Washington will be more than doubled if the war continues another year Work ers of all kinds are being appointed, stenographers and typewriters and draftsmen for the service generally, and what are known as schedule clerks, index and catalogue clerks, clerks qualified in statistics or accounting and clerks qualified In business administration for the ordnance department of the army, being <n great demand. Representatives of the federal civil service commission at the post offices in all cities are the official recruiting agents for the great civilian army, an army of a half million behind the men behind the guns.

FIRE MARSHAL'S POWER. The state fire marshal, under the law of 1913, establishing the office of fire marshal, is given the power to issue rules and regulations governing the construction of garages, drycleaning establishments and picture shows, and such regulations have been prepared by the fire marshal with a view of so controlling the construction of these buildings that the hazardous conditions common to such occupancies may be reduced to the minimum. Those who contemplate building picture shows, dry cleaning establishments and garages," says the fire marshal, “should remember that plans for the construction of such buildings must be ( submitted to this office for approval before the work Is begun. If parties who are figuring on putting up such buildings would promptly mail us a copy of their plans, much delay and inconvenience would bo avoided and unnecessary expense saved in making changes and corrections Rfter the building has been completed. There have been instances where this department has been compelled to order construction work discontinued, and in some cases it has been nqcesary to order certain changes after the work has been completed, simply through the failure of the builder to comply with our building requirements.” Copies of the rules may be obtained upon request from the state fire marshal at Indianapolis. ITALIAN ARMY ENGINEERS PRAISED BY OFFICIALS. (United Press Service) Washington, D. C., Nov. 3—(Special to Daily Democrat) —Engineers throughout the v Id have expressed their admiration _ ‘he wizardry displayed by the Italian engineering corps in the war. Feats of engineer-1 ing deemed impossible have been re-1 peatedly performed by the Italian soldiers high in the Alps. Italian prmy officials say the explanation of Italy’s engineering prowess is simple. Included in Italy’s engineering Lcorps are 250,060 men, who at one time or another welded picks and I shovels on American construction . c I jobs. Thesa men for the past tweu- ‘ t

ty years went back to Italy and later took up the technical side of engineering. Thousands of sturdy Italian laborers working in America rushed home to join the colors when the sons of Garibaldi took up arms against their traditional enemies, the Austrians. The result is that Italy’H engineers to a man know how to handle intrenching tools. o STOCK SALE.

(United Pi\<Sß Sarvioe) , London, Oct. 11 —(By Mail) —With one strobe of his pen tho home tree-1 net ary has abolished a public nui-j

sance and released a lot of husky men for war work. He has prohibited whistling for taxicabs. In London one doesn’t telephone for a taxicab. You pick them up as they pass. So the practice of whistling for them grew up. Every hotel and many private residences kept a whistle. The hotels also kept porters with good lungs for practically the sole purpose

of blowing the whistle. The result was that all day and most of the night it was impossible to get out of the range of the whistle Masts. But it finally was concluded—after three years of agitation—that the whistling wasn't particularly good for hospital patients and convalescents. The strong-lunged porters will have to go to work.
