An Appreciation

"Have arrived safe in the good old

U. S. A.," writes Roy Rupe. "We left Prance the 7th of December and arrived here the 17th of December. Ran

into Borne storms on the way over and

some of us were sure seasick. We ltd not stay on deck very much. Am

now at Camp Merrlt, N. J. Will stay

here a day or two. Do not know where we will go from here but think

we will be sent to Camp Sherman, O., to be discharged."

Orville Brunson of the Y. M. C. A. has word from his brother t Austin Brunson saying that he is well and had Just been royally entertained with two Thanksgiving dinners. One at camp where they had everything any

Yank could want, and the other at the home of on old French woman, in whose home several of the American soldiers had stayed when In the dis

trict before.

Mr. and Mrs. O. J. Mendenhall have

received word that their son, Corp.

Robert Mendenhall, has arrived from overseas and is now stationed at Camp Merrlt, N. J., waiting for his discharge.

"I was very luckly to get out of the

hospital In time to take part In the last drive." wrote Elmer E. Vinton frii France on Nov. 24.

"I iolned my company the same day the drive started: went through it un

til the day all hostilities ceased, and

you can tell the world that we were

a 'happy crowd of boys when the of

ficer rode among us saying the armistice had been signed, and that the war was to stop at 11 o'clock. Say, at present I can step out In the back yard and throw a stone Into Germany. We have followed the Hun out of France and Belgium and are now In the state of Luxemburg." Frlvate Gasper Parker writes to hifc father In a "Dad's Letter" that he is

able to be up and around, and that his wounds are all healed. "I'll sure have lots to tell you when I have an opportunity. Have been on three fronts since I came over, and have never had a scratch until I went In on the last drive. "It seems strange to think that the war Is over." "I am about three miles east of Metz In the Toul sector. Have been here six weeks," writes Private Roy H. Schneider. "Four other Richmond boys are here, Chester Phillips, Walter Smith, Eber Williams and I. Herbert Bullach, and Harold Hiatt were here a little while. They are all O. K. 'Mother, when you hear that I am nn the way home you can get the frying pans ready as I am hungry for rabbit." .

(By Geo. W. B. Conrad) The mercantile business which Geo. II. Knollenberg spent years In perfecting and which is a great monument to hla memory should be an Inspiration to every person In the community. It represents thrift, character, self-sacrifice, loyalty and devotion to a great enterprise altogether worthy of emulation. Mr. Knollenberg was a positive help to the community. He was a manysided man. His experience came from the school of hardship and reverses

but this only served to inspire mm with a zeal and determination to succeed. It Is only through reverses and hardships that many men show their real worth to a community and this seemed to be a characteristic of Mr. . Knollenberg. His many years of experience along every line of endeavor mado him a factor of inestimable value to the community and his advice and counsel were frequently sought Public spirited, a Christian man in all that the word Implies, practicing in his business dealings the precepts of his Maker bow worthy his life of

He seemed to delight in giving, es

pecially to tne wortny, no matier rroni what source the appeal came. The Christmas sporit seemed to possess him the whole year round. Men like Mr. Knollenberg are a distinct asset to a community and his loss in a nnrn nne.
