GEORGE IS STILL IN GERMANY

Mr. and Mrs. L. D. Mauck have received a letter from their son George, who is at Osann, Germany, under date of January 23, in which he says: "I am In the best of health and enjoying myself very much. We are drilling every day and practicing with our rifles. We are still with the same German family and so are the rest of the company. The country around here is very hilly and there are some deer and wild hogs in the woods. I saw about six deer one day and they sure looked fine. They were about the size of a calf six weeks or so old. One man here has California grapes on the side of the hill. He said they were very good, and I guess he was right. Grapes are the principal crop around here. Every family has some wine. I' don’t drink much of It, for I don’t like It.”
