FROM A MONTANA SUBSCRIBER

Phon, Mont. Jan. 29, 1918. Mr. Hamilton: Dear editor: — You will find inclosed $4.00 to pay for the Republican this year and last, should have sent it sooner, but the winter is so fierce and the mail so irregular that we never know when we can send inf we have a little inland postoffice. Hear here the neighbors take tugs aßout going to Jordan, which is 30 miles, to get the mail that is brought out from Miles City by stage 100 miles and as the snow is so deep and the weather so cold, the mail has only been in once in four weeks. I wish I had an aeroplane and a few bombs, I would sure try to find the old Kaiser. Everything is war talk and high prices out here I belong to the Red Cross and we. meet once a week and sew all day, only since the snow has been so deep. Am sending a sweater on this mail to Willie at Camp Shelby, but it is my individual present to him, not made by the Red Cross. Best wishes for your success, as an editor, we are always enxious to get the paper and enjoy the soldiers letters so much. Yours respectfully, . MRS. S. B. HOLMES.
