WRITES FROM NATIONAL MILITARY HOME

Uncle John Casey writes The Democrat from the National Military home at Marion: Editor Jasper County Democrat: We are having beautiful weather now in the city of Marion, and everything is nice and convenient. Probably yon will be surprised to know that I left Marion the 20th of June, traveling through Grant, Howard and Clinton counties, on through Carroll, White, Jasper, Newton and Lake counties, Indiana, and at Hammond changed cars to interurban line up through Cook county to Chicago. I then returned by way of Fair Oaks, Monon and Delphi, where I changed onto the interurban through Cass, Miami and Wabash counties to Wabash. From Peru to Wabash corn is all killed along “the banks of the Wabash, far away,” and a drought in Wabash. corn is small, but wheat is good in Grant county. The Jasper county crops are the best that I saw in my travels, also

gardens look better on account of the recent rains that failed to put in an appearance south and east of Logansport and Peru, although Howard and Clinton counties have a bumper crop of wheat. Jasper ie the banner county on vegetables, corn, wheat, oats and rye. Respectfully,

LETTER FROM CECIL R. REES.

7th Company, Coast Artillery Corps, Ft. Caswell, N. C. Dear Father and Mother: Well, Man, I got your letter this morning, (July sth), and was very glad to hear from you all. I am well and doing fine and hope you are the same. I like army life fine. We have better quarters now and better eats. Don’t pay any attention to any body who says Uncle Sam’s fighting men are being starved and have cruel treatment and no clothes for it is absolutely untrue. I will venture to say that I get better treatment twofold than I expected when I enlisted. When I enlisted I expected h—l from start to finish, but as yet I cannot call it that, although I suppose if we ever get to the fighting line we will have it pretty hard, but it is for a very just cause and for the beloved ones at home. I don’t think any of us will ever have to do any fighting in France for the Germans are whipped right now if they were men enough to admit it. We are going to make them pay dear jf they (Germans) don’t submit; you can ‘bank on that. If you could see some of the instruments of war that we are soon to use you could at once be assured of victory. Mam in your letter you’re worried for I can tell by the way you write. I do wish you could forget and quit that worry. Don’t think of me being gone forever for I am not and we will all be home sooner than any of you expect. Don’t worry about my welfare for I am taking care of myself and I have spending money left and in far better circumstances than some of my comrades. I have got two letters from you this week already. The mail is coming 0. K. now and don’t worry about me not getting any mail for every spare moment I have I should answer a letter. I got one from Leatha and Clarence the other day and must answer it -soon. I also got one from uncle Harry the other . day. He

wrote me an awful nice letter stating that any necessary article I needed to let him know and he would send it to me, but I don’t expect any such thing as that. He thinks Harry is on his way to France now. I am serving in the coast artillery and will use principally big guns if I ever get to go to France, but we get the same training as any regular soldier gets so we can defend ourselves if the need be we can use the rifle, bayonet or revolver at close range you know and use the stand by at long range. Don’t worry about me going to France before coming home. Earl Cox is at Camp Lee, Virginia learning to be a baker and cook. Uncle Harry wants one of your pictures but I will not send him either of mine because they are mine and would not take anything for any you sent me. As soon as I can get mine taken I will send you some. Uncle Harry said he would write to you soon. Send me Harry Beebe’s address and I will write 'to him. Do you know where Herman Knoerger is now. I would like to write to him. I must write to Ernest and Bailey soon. I have not heard from Bertha and Thelma and Edith and have not got any mail from but do not want to write to him you know. I got Glaydys Smith’s letter but have not found time to answer yet. How do the crops look now Pop? Say Pop, why don’t you write, I would like to hear from you too. How are you making it by this time? Is uncle Sol, Edith and Russel still with you? How are the onions and beets by this time and the garden? Well as I must write one to Leatha and Clarence. Have not heard from Forest lately. Good bye.

It Is Near at Hand for Hundreds of Rensselaer Headers. Don’t neglect an aching back. Backache is often the kidneys’ cry for help. Neglect hurrying to the kidneys’ aid Means that urinary troubles may follow. Or danger of worse kidney trouble. Here's Rensselaer testimony. Mrs. J. J.

Obituary

Mrs. John Eilts. ’ Hertha Horn was born in Bavaria, Germany, November 13, 1883, and died in Rensselaer, Indiana, June 27, 1918, where she leaves to mourn 1 her husband, John Eilts, and 'his relatives of Union ■Hier highest ideals of a true character was not to admit ill feelings between friends, with an ability to extend this habit to everybody she met, no matter whether it was in social or political life or in religious society. Her musical spirit combined with an eye to see always the prettiest things in a subject made her own life and others, too, a life worth while, especially to hier husband on his long road when traveling. She chose her friends without prejudice, poor, rich——name did make no object—she pictured a character from a true' face and in this respect never made a mistake. With marvelous ability and always in a tender way she - had gained friends wherever she went, many which thought to be enemies on account of war. This high qualification and the childish love with which she held to her father who preceded her in the last call under nearly the same circumstances, filled her entire life. 'She was an artist in music, with a love for the classics above all. She was educated in England and graduated later on in Wales, England. During 1908 she had been on a visit in New York, where she made the acquaintance of Mr. John Eilts, to whom she was united in marriage in Stuttgart November 28, 1908. During the winter of 1908 she traveled with her husband through Russia and Siberia to China, where they opened their first residence in the German colony Tsingtau (Chintou). Both faced many hardships on this first trip on account of bad /oads at that time. When the war broke out in 1914 Mr; and Mrs; Eilts lived in southern China on the Hainan Island south of Hopgkong. Through the Presbyterian church they were helped away from there and had to travel through China from one mission station to another till after seven months traveling they arrived in this country, where they commenced to make a living on a farm in Uuion township. Mrs. Eilts leaves to mourn in the home country two brothers and three sisters. Her eldest brother is well known in the literary world; and the ydungest brother is a minister of IJie Uutheran church, .to which she belonged. Her father. Dr. Oskar Horn, was doctor of philosophy and died in Berlin, xx
