RUFUS ROOP WELL Describes Guard Duty at Cainp Shelby—Appreciates the Democrat. IT SEEMS LIKE HOME Tells of New Plan of Serving Meals —Food is Served from the Tables. Mr. and Mrs. 8. A. Roop of rural route six. received the following from their son at Camp Shelby, Miss.: Camp Shelby, Oct. 35. ‘l7 Dear Father, Mother and All:— In answer to your letter of the 21. it found me well. Hope you are all well when this reaches you. Well, 1 received your box Tuesday afternoon. I went on guard that after noon and night and also the next day. We came in Tuesday from drill to go on guard about four o'clock and when I came in my tent the box was on my bunk and believe me the eats just came in handy; the pie was in fine shape and good. Tell Forest I thank him for his candy. Well, to tell you how it la to go on guard, 1 went on my post at five and oft at seven and then four hours to sleep and then two hours on again. I kept that up till Wednesday noon. My post was to guard the prisoners. You certainly had to be on the watch. Well. I am glad that pa has his corn cut and hope he gets the potatoes dug for they may get spotted. As you tell about getting so many hickory nuts there certainly must be lots . f them.

Well, as it is only about one hour and a half till bed time, I have some sewing yet to do. I tore my new trousers today, so I don't know what kind of a job 1 will do but I am going to try and do my best. Oh yes. I thank you for sending me the Democrat for It seems like home when I am reading it. Well, we have been having some cool nights down here and also in the day time. Well as I have run out of something to write I will close for this time. Your son, RUFUS ROOP

Well today we started a new regulation for our meals. Before when we went to eat we had to fall in line one behind the other and it did make some line, now we have to go in to our tables and sit down and they have the eats on the table and we dish them out our selves- There are ten men to a table so you do not want to be bashful or you are out of luck. They are putting a heater in our bath house for the water has begun to get a little chilly, but we are glad to get ice water through the day to drink We usually get it every day. We certainly do our share drilling. We drill eight hours a day but after we get our new men drilled better I think they will cut down the drill schedule. But after all we haye it pretty nice, we get all day Sunday and Saturday off. We had three men to beat it but they came back their ninth day. That jwas lucky tor them for if they had stayed their full ten days it would of meant something. There has already been a court martial in this camp. It was in the Kentucky trooi s. I The Kentucky and Virginia troops act like they do not care for anything. Well I will close this time saying good bye. YOUR SON. YOU CAN HELP ELIMINATE RATS AND MICE By requiring that all new buildings, j wharves, and other structures be rat proof; that existing buildings of ratproof construction be further protected by "having basement windows and drains covered with screens, gratings, etc.: and that existing buildings that are not rat proof be made so by remodelling. By constructing sewers and drains so that they will not provide entrance and retreat for rats. By Insisting on greater cleanliness' about markets, stores and generally! throughout cities, villages, and the' country districts.

I By threshing and marketing grain! early so that stacks will not furnish' harboring places and food for rats. I By removing pileus of straw, trash, and lumber which harbor rats in fields and vacant lots. By protecting the hawks, owls and other natural enemies of rats which are not so destructive to poultry as rats themselves. By keeping well trained rut dogs on farms and about city warehouse?. I By keeping provisions which rats I and mice will attack, in rat proof and mouse proof containers. j Democrat Want Ads Pay

BAIRE AND BORNE r— — Two Boys from Adams County Write Mr. and Mrs. Aaron DeVinney. ABOUT CAMP LIFE Borne Says It’s Fine While Baire Admits He’s Seen Better-liked Places. Soldier friends at Hattiesburg. Miss., have written the following letters to Mr. and Mrs. Aaron DeVinney, with whom they roomed while in thia city, awaiting a call to camp: Camp Shelby, Miss, Oct. 29. Mr. and Mrs. DeVinney, Decatur, Ind.: Dear Friends: —Your kind and welcome letter received today; sure glad to hear from you. but sorry to hear how cold it is up there. It has been so warm here today we nearly smothered in the kitchen, but we had a very hard rain this evening and it is getting some cooler now. We have had a little frost here, but no snow. I guess it never does snow here. They are sure making a fine camp of this now. Electric lights in the tents, good floors and four-foot sidewalls. Oh, it's just like a house, only some of us have our bunks built over each other; that gives us much more room. We also have small wood stoves in the tents. Keeps them plenty warm, if we keep them fired up. The wind is blowing hard at present; just heard somebody’s wash basin rolling down the street. Ha! Ha! Os course we have streets; better than some towns have; but no paved sidewalks. Gus and I have often talked of how good you folks were to us. and almost ashamed of myself for not writing you sooner. Am very glad you are pleased with the photos. Just heard Gus going by our tent, talking. Have met some of the Jay and Adams county boys down here that were drafted. They are used just the same as we are. William Wescominghouse and Mr. Deen are in the headquarters battery of the 139th artillery. Thej seem to like it verywell. Some of the boys have gone to bed. some are reading and some writing. We have plenty of entertainment. Have a large show tent a short distance from here; programs evYry night, the same as an opera house; also have the Y. M. C. A. near, which is a very good place to go to write and have a good time. Movies all over the camps Ruth Law made a fine flight here Saturday; turned somersalts and everything with the aeroplane. I took the picture of her flying; will send you one if they are good; will know Saturday. O. there is plenty going on to keep a fellow in good spirits, but some do not like it very weil, and I have seen places I liked better, too. Ha! Ha!

Well, guess I had better close. Hoping to hear from you soon. JOHN C. BAIR. Battery A, 139th Field Artillery, Camp Shelby, Hattiesburg, Miss. Hattiesburg, Miss.. Oct. 15, 1917. Dear Friend: —Well, how are you by this time. I suppose that you folks thought that I forgot you, but I did not. One thing was the matter with me. 1 1 guess th'at I just neglected it, but I tonight as I opened my letter box. I happened to see the address. Well, we got here some time ago, and say, this is some place. All you can see is pine trees and pine stumps and old dead logs. It is almost the same as if I was at home on the new ground, clearing it up to put corn in. It sure is fun to see the boys get busy and pile up logs and dig out stumps. While some of the boys never did anything of the kind, they sure do go at it awkward. Well, I suppose that you have heard about the company being broken up. We are not Company A, but. Battery A now. so that is so much better for us now. Well, we have been drilling with guns the last couple of days. We have not received our large guns yet, nor have we gotten our horses* yet. , Well. 1 had my pictures taken about a month ago, and I just received them the other day. They are pretty good, and' if nothing happens I 'will try and send you folks one some of these days, so if you get this letter before you get the pictures

you can look for one. I suppose that it is quite cold out there by this time. 1 heard the other day that it snowed there. If It did. the weather sure is somewhat I different, for it is quite hot here in the day time, and during the night lit gels somewhat cool. | Well, as far as this life is concerned, I sure do like it for there is .no chance for a boy to get homesivk. Well, it is getting almost bed time
