Letter Returns After Perilous Trip Into War Zone.

L. H. Hamilton received a letter recently from his son, Fred, who is with the English army, which proved to be of more than usual interest. On January 20th Mr. Hamilton wrote Fred, which the latter received after it had gone through some harrowing experiences. The letter was returned after arriving at its destination by Fred, who asked that it be kept as a souvenir. The letter was waiter soaked and dirty. Apparently it 'had been or. one of the liners which was sunk on the way over, later to be gathered up after floating about in the water for some time, probably by crews sent out in rowboats. 30,000 spring planes. 86 kinds. Home grown, climated, and well rooted. Shrubs should be planted now.— J. H. Holden, Phone 426. The “Hoviland” man tailored garments for ladies are fully guaranteed by Rowles & Parker.
