DECATUR DAILY. DEMOCRAT. SATURDAY, DECEMBER 7,191 H

CHARLIES BAXTER WRITES Some where in Franco Dear Mother and All; Still O. K. and doing lino but am quite a ways from where I was when I wrote last. Wo took a train ride of 48 hours in a box car. This count! y has not tho railroad accomodations we have at homo so we road in box cars and had a fine trip. Plenty to eat and saw some fine scenery. It looks odd to ae.j nearly every ono wearing wooden shoes and driving oxen but that is the way things aro here. The people ratse thousands lof bushels of grapes around here. I Tho French are a very nice people but they could say anything about me and 1 would not know it as their talk is too much for me. Sis should be hero and gather English walnuts as they grow in the woods here. Also see quite a number of fig trees. We are quartered in buildings around tills country. Tonight I a n sitting by a large tiro place on the second floor of an old stone house that looks to be at least 100 years old. Zeser is in the next room. Don’t worry about us as we have a straw mattress and three extra good blankets to sleep on. have three good meals a day and are not over worked so why worry. We were S. O. L. for a tew days. We are located near a small town but could not get tobacco or cigarettes and nearly every one was dying for a smoke. This evening Lieut. Johnson came past where we were drilling and told us Uncle Sain would sta’t issuing tobacco this evening. We came in and before supper each man was issued his tobacco and tonight every one is either smoking or chewing. Was out and got a hair cut a while ago StoM out in the bam yard and got an army hair cut. Wo have seen quite a bit of country that 1 cannot say much about but can tell you when I return. We have had some fine times also a few light bumps and sometimes get a little grouchy but after a couple of hours’ rest all is forgotten. We take ahi :o through the country every few days and it is a pleasure to Lake these. The epuntry here is a little hilly and of course the roads are winding. You never see any fences at all. Children are out. in the fields herding cattle and sheep. See women driving oxen and hauling grapes on a large twowheeled cart. Nearly all the grapes ar emade into wine. We are allowed to buy these wines and of course some fellows go a ittle too far with it once in a while. At present there are live of t-s around one candle and all writing home. Here would be a good place for Bud to find a woman. They do all kinds of work. I have seen women working in saw mills and all such work. Have a notion to hook onto a good woman and take her home with me. As for the beautiful women of France. I have not seen very many of them yot. Zeser and I were in town a little whilo last night. He is feeling' fine and as happy as ever. He sends his best. It is a little hard to get paper at present but things will be better soon. 1 will write as often as I can so if you don’t hear from me as often as you think you. should, don't get excited but just imagine I am O. K. and not very hungry. Well, paper is about gone, will have to say goodnight. With lots of lovo and best regards to all. Wagoner CHAS. E. BAXTER. Co. F. 309th Engineers. American E. F. Franc" 1 .

Friday was conservation day in the public schools in the United Slates food administration’s program for Victory Week. Probably the most, genuinely patriotic and conscientious observance of the day was reported from Emerson School No. 58, Linwood Avenue and East New York streets, Indianapolis. Here, it was reported to the office of Dr. Harry E. Barnard, federal food administrator for Indiana, who directed the obse’vance of Victory week, in this state, the teachers and older pupils of tho school voluntarily dispensed with their customary noon lunch for tne sake of food saving and to make, more impressive the food facts. During the lunch hour they repaired to the school chapel and spent the time in the singing of patriotc songs and hearing the official message prepared by Herbert Hoover for the use of schools generally. o DEMOCRAT WANT ADS PAY BIG.

Davison of the Red Cross War Council on. his return from spending three months in Europe. Tho paragraph deals with the Red Cross Christmas Roll Call for members to be held in Decatur and the country over Dec. 16-23. It. says: "During the week before Christmas there is to be a roll call, giving every citizen an opportunity to register as a member of the volunteer humanitarian agency of the American people which is recognized throughout the world as the American Red Cross. This membership involves no commitment beyond the payment of one dollar, but this payment will register a continuance of humane sympathy and at the same time it will have the very practical value of contributing to the continuation of Red Cross chapter work and to the meeting of tho needs within our own country.” The Daily Democrat has also r - ceived word from Lake Division Red Cross headquarters stating that 66 percent of the Kentucky chapters had appointed their local roll call managers up to Dec. 2. On the same day, Indiana and Ohio were 75 per cent organized in this respect. o ABOUT THE SICK Mrs. Cecelia Ball and sister-in-law, Mrs. Joe Eyanson, went to Fort Wayne this morning to be with their sister and sister-in-law.
