LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

S. S. Norman Writes from Boulder, Montana. Boulder, Mont., Oct. 1, 1918 Dear Editor: Please find enclosed $2.00 for subscription to The Jasper County Democrat. Am always glad to get the paper and to see the soldier boys’ letters that are doing their duty for Uncle Sam. I am proud to say I have two sons in the service. Russell passed through Parr, Fair Oaks and Rensselaer and threw off cards at each place, as he was being transferred from Ft. Dodge, lowa, to Camp Lee, Virginia. He is in the veterinary unit and likes it fine. Expects to sail most any day. John is at Camp Lewis, Washington. He is now corporal in the infantry. " f We are still heading wheat here: have a fair yield, but at present it is quite wet for heading. Have had no killing frost yet; potatoes and tomatoes still green. Had fine potatoes. Have some that weighed three pounds each, planted. on sod and never cultivated. This letter leaves us all well. Best regards to all Jasper County friends and a good deal to yourself. As ever, S. H. NORMAN, R-l, Boulder, Montana. In renewing his subscription, William Michaels writes from So. Pasedena, California: “Please find enclosed check for $2 for renewal of my subscription for The Democrat, hoping not to be so neglectful again. This leaves us all well and having fine weather.

We are glad to do this if we can help to hasten the end of the kaiser.’’
