Charles Hewett and Mr. Lessie spent Sunday in Huntington. Alexander Raeth, who moved to Lowell last spring, is here helping harvest his wheat. We received that long hoped for rain last week and all vegetation looks as thankful as the people. Wheat cutting is in full blast this week. Some of the farmers are pullipg their binders with tractors. John O’Connor and Mr. Brown of Kniman were through here in the interests of the War Savings stamp drive Friday. About every family from here was represented at the War Savings stamp (meeting at Wheatfield Friday. The talk by the Canadian officer who has -been in active service was exceptionally good. Many stamps were sold. The soldier boys write that the temperature of West Virginia is different than l what they left here in Indiana. At midday the temperature will rise as high as 97 and 98 degrees and fall so low at nights they can scarce keep warm -with their two army blankets. Tn the morning there is a very heavy fog, due to the sudden changes of tempera tare. They have rains from two to five times a week. The mountain scenery is very beautiful. Like at all the other training camps, “Indiajja’’ is one of the most favored songs.
