ed boys sailed on a U. S. hospital ship from here yesterday, and they sure

were a happy bunch," writes Lester

Letter from Bordeaux, France, in a letter to his mother, Mrs. Hattle Letter of 121 Richmond avenue. "If did not matter how much the carrying hurt them, nor how much they were suffering otherwise, when they were taken up the gangway each one would look up and smile at you, a great big smile that meant home! "I have met three Red Cross trains lately and the first word from the boys is: 'Say. how long to go across?' .When you tell them eight to twelve days It is like throwing a blanket of cold water over them. They are wild to get home and even a few days is a long, long time. Today a boatload of slightly wounded left port here a wild crowd. I should like to see them when they hit New York. They laughed; they cried; they cheered, and even hugged each other. One had to laugh, and at the same time there was something about It that brought the moisture to your eyes. "I went aboard a sub chaser with orders the other day, and before I could get off it 'left port and put to sea. Well, this Is the roughest time of the year on the ocean, so I had some time. It was fun, though, for we were out thre days and a half. Bay, I had to do some tall explaining when I did get back. Another time I got caught on a tug and was out all night. "Pershing was here not long ago and inspected the docks, and the hospital ship Mercy which was here then. The docks looked like a ball room floor, and the soldiers were all dolled up." Lelter has been stationed at an old chateau, near Bordeaux, but writes in this letter that he is living in the city of Bordeaux with a French family, which is taking a great Interest in hiin because they have a son of his age who is expecting to come to America. "The family are very kind to me and the son Is a pleasant friend. Often when I come home at night they will ask me to have wine with them, and they offer mo breakfast quite often," he said.

For AMERICANS

The House of Dickinson, Eastern Indiana's Largest Watch Dealers, Recommend American Made Watches

We believe in Made-in-America Goods. We believe that those who can afford a watch and who have not as yet made the purchase should, by all means, first consider Made-in-America Watches. We know by actual comparison and facts that Americanmade Watches ' are unequalled and ara far ahead of any foreign makes; in fact, American Watches are In a class alone. We believe that in buying a watch that you should insist that the name of the maker appear on the dial, as it's your guarantee against any fake or so-called American makes of watches. Ve Recommend American Watches Because they are, in our estimation, the best made. Ask to see the Hamilton, Illinois, Waltham, South Bend, Elgin and others. The Elgin Streamline at $25.00 Is a wonderful value.
