THE GRAVE OF DEWEY BIGGS.

I The following letter was received iby William Biggs and family and it will be read with interest and sympathy by our readers: AMERICAN RED CROSS [Croix Rouge Americaine] . Brest, France, June 23, 1919. To the Family of Dewey Biggs, U. S. N.: On June 6th,< as representative of the Home Communication Service of the American Red Cross, I visited y-ourboy’s inthebeautiful, old French cemetery at Treguier m the Department of Cotes du Nord. The cemetery is almost in the center of the quaint French town and seems to lie in the very shadow of the beautiful cathedral. The grave is entirely covered by a fine, wellmade cement monument Set in this monument is a plate on which his name and rating are marked with the date, October 4, 1918. As I looked at the grave, I tried to think of those who love him in dear America, but the thought uppermost in my mind was of the care with which his copirades at the air station had done everything in their power for him before the station was moved and they returned home. The monument which they erected for him is evidence of their devotlbn .to hipi. it BBflTned tbffiotbba" the best in the entire cemetery. I wish that you, rather than 1," : might have visited the grave* lam re portihg to you abotit it as best T/ can. As you probably know, the , care of it will be continued by the Graves Registration Service of the A. E.. F. May I send you my heartfelt sy m pathy for your shareof the sorrow which war has brought to the world during the past four years. Faithfully yours, MAUDE CLEVELAND, Home Communication Service, American Red Cross.

TEN MOROCCO MEN BUY BIG BROWN RANCH.

Morocco Courier— The James Brown ranch of 1,354 acres in McClellan township has been purchased by a company of ten Morocco citizens, who expect to still further improve the place and run it as a stock and grain farm. The ranch is already exceptionally well improved, the south section having twenty-five miles of tile thereon. There are also several first class horse and cattle barns, two houses, two silos, and the entire ranch is fenced with woven wire and cedar posts, all of which makes it one of the most desirable ranches in the central west. The soil is exceptionally good. At the present time there is no stone road into this locality, but this matter will doubtless be attended to within the next year. This is perhaps one of the largest real estate deals ever recorded in Newton county, and the most important part of it is the fact that the purchasers are all men of ability and energy who will not only improve their own holdings to the greatest extent possible, but will thereby bring about a corresponding improvement of the entire section. Those interested in the deal, all of whom are members of the company, are as follows: W. D. Martin, Ross B. H. Graves, A. J. Law, M.E. Graves, James Redden, A. J. Martin and Elmer Padgett. This land has been owned by Mr. Brown for aboqt nine or ten years and has been a paying proposition for him. He is head buyer for Armour & Co. in Chicago and has been unabß to give it the personal attention necessary for maximum profit, which was his reason for selling. The new owners will no doubt make a success of the venture. i Mrs. Dan Williams went to Remington today .
