IT S SMART TO KEEP COOL.... Do you often wish you could be like those people who go through the summer looking cool and unruffled as a quiet forest glade? It’s really simple once you know the trick.

the hot summer months, a tern- 1 porary pasture should be available. Sudan grass, rape, or soybeans make good hot weather pastures. If a corn field is close let the pullets range in it as this will provide excellent shade for them. This is the advice of M. E. Jackson, Purdue University
Extension Poultryman.
Don't over pasture any one area. The feeders should be moved at least once a week to avoid killing out the pasture. Avoid bare spots, poorly drained land and mud puddles. Such places serve as ir.cubatcrs for worms
and ooccidiosis.

MITCHEL FIELD, N. Y., Jun“ 9.—Pvt. Bedford O’Neal of Greencastle, Ind., wounded and now recovering, arrived here in a big C-54 plane last week fiom
Europe.
Member of an anti-tank company of the 3rd Division of the Seventh Army, O'Neal was in the fighting in southern France in the Vosges Mountains. His job was handling an anti-tank gun but when infantry was needed he went in on the line. After that part of the country had
i been taken by the Americans,

: signed to guard the River Danjube near Munich and it is from
there he is now returning. O’Neal has two brothers in the services, Pfc. Marion with the ?4th Division in Italy, and William who is in the navy. His wife, Mis. Martha O’Neal, lives
stances. Give him my best regards the next time you write
him.
I wrote to grandma yesterday and day before. I told her last week that I had been made Corporal. Since yesterday I'm a Sgt. )’ was notif.ed this morning. I don’t imagine I’ll get to write to her today so if you will please tell her about it. There is a lot that I could write about but most of it is either prohibited by censorship or it's too unpleasant to mention. About all we can say is, Hello, hope everyone is O. K. I’m fine and goodbye. I don’t know how much longer we are going to be in this but I certainly hope that it won't be much longer. I haven’t had a shower or a bath for the past 13 days. Neither have I had a :lean pair of socks or a clean uniform. This is rough, and no
mistake.
How are things going back in Greencastle? It’s still as dead aa
ever I suppose.
I understand that some of the
the same | Navy Ur, ts have been cancelled
at DcPauw. Cuts down on the qualities of their ball clubs doesn't it? I hope its all over by the time I get home. I want to for-
get the whole mess.
I'll try to finish this page before I quit, / wont promise anything but I’ll do my best. It looks as if the rainy season was finally started over here. I dread to see it too, because when the rain comes so does the mud. I hate to sleep in a muddy fox hole. If we're in a nice garrison area I wouldn’t care but
not where we are now.
Well Sis it looks as if I might get to finish this page afferall. By the time I get my good byes
said I'll be finished.
Give my regards to everyone, around the neighborhood and say hello to your mother for me. Be goad and write soon.
