C, and four brothers and five sisters. The letter in part to the parents read as follows : "My dear Charlie: "I have just read in the paper the account of the death in France of your son and my good friend, Jack. While I realize that any thing I might say at this time would be empty words indeed, how tver, I want you, Sally and the children to know I am thinking of you and share with you in some measure your great loss and sor- In France " S.tSSv El 1'VT.

While here he and Mrs. Price visited the for mer's grandfather in Iron Duff. The Salvation Army had as their guests at the Sunday night service the Long Branch Singing Choir.

SNAP HOTS By FRANCES FRAZIER Staff Writer Allen Mr. and Mrs. Joe Kirkpatrick who live in the Wesley Creek sec tion, recently purchased a tract of land from Theo. Ferguson. They have their new home almost ready "Having had the pleasure at one time of serving as Jack's com manding officer, I can remember him as a fine upstanding American, a good soldier, and a personal friend; one who has made the su preme sacrifice in order that we who are left may continue our American way of life. No finer tribute can be paid to anyhody than to say he was a good soldier and did his job well. I hope the full realization of this fact will serve to some extent to lighten the burden for you in the dark days to come."

And the other is obe sity. The former can be eliminat ed by several and devious methods, but the latter is on the order of a curse that should be avoided as a pestilence. It should, however, be brought into every conversation, elaborated upon and any poundage acquired should be decorated with long and wide streamers of crepe. Now. with mm it is entirely dif ferent. Take Mr. Greensmith for instance. He was a lart;e, raw 'boned, square-shouldered sort of a man who carried a cross on one shoulder and a chip on the other. The cross was for the varitd and sundry ailments that beset his bxly. The chip was for the bene fit of any one who dared suggest that he might not be as ill as he imagined. Mr. Greensmith's afflictions ran the gamut of the patent medicine almanac advertisements which he carefully read and balanced each symptom with a duplication of his .... . -i ir 1... own individual sicKness. ne in. eame a bore to every one whom he could corner long enough to ex pound on, the, at the moment, popu lar disease that had him in its grip, He never seemed to realize that he was the type that insurance agents dream about. Then all of a sudden he met Widow Brown. She was rotund, robust and roseate and exuded the pi i-it of conviviality. A glorious sun rose in the east lor :vir. (jreen- smith and he basked in its mellow glow for a full ten days. It was such a beautiful world and nary an ache nor a pain preambulated through the sparse frame of Mr. Greensmith, unless you consider palpitation of the heart something to conjure with, medically. Then one day the sky became a dark, ugly black and his sun sank hurriedly in the west with a very definite plop. Widow Brown con fided in Mr. Greensmith that she was about to marry Deacon White and that, alas, Deacon White had a shoulder on which he, too, carried chip; the chip being a determi nation that Mr. Greensmith absent himself as promply as possible from the vicinity of the future Mrs. White. Like the roar of a rushing flow of lava from an erupting volcano, all the ailments to which a human body can be susceptible enveloped Mr. Greensmith and he thoroughly enjoyed his misery for two whole davs. in solitude. Misery, so the old adage goes, loves company, so on the third day, Mr. Greensmith sought comfort, cardiac and con-sedation. He knew there would be balm in Gilead if he could hear people tell him how terrible he looked. It didn't work out, though, quite as he had planned for the first dozen or so people he met simply said, "Good morning." "Howdy," or grunted out a muttered "Hey." No stopping sympathetically to shake their heads or say mournfully, What on earth is the matter with you, Greensmith ? I never saw you look so bad. Whv don t you go see Dr. Jones?" What wonderful words they would be and how they would soothe his wounded and troubled spirit. No use in having a broken heart and no one know it! He breathed deeply, sadly and slowly went on his way. Then he saw Mr. Blue approaching. Ah! There was a man who would tell him what he wanted to hear. Mr. Blue was known far and wide for being aptly named; nothing was ever right either with him or any one else. He had never been known to see the sunshine for the heavy clouds. So he was exactly the per son for whom Mr. Greensmith had so diligently been looking this morning. He got directly in Mr. Blue's pathway and waited. Mr. Blue, disturbed, scowled at the in terruption to his mental and matu dinal wanderings and drew him self up to his full height as he re marked, sarcastically: "If I felt and looked as well as you do, Green smith, I'd certainly find some work to do rather than run around the streets. You could at least adver tise some health food. Good day." Mr. Greensmith's sun was sunk and so was Mr. Greensmith. Signalman W. L. Home On Leave William Lucius (Tud) Allen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Kay Allen of Al len's Creek, has arrived with his wife and young daughter from Urbana, 111., where he has been taking special training. He was recently qualified as a petty officer, with the rating of signalman third class at the Naval Training School (Signals) at the University ot Illinois. He entered the service in April of this year and took his boot train ing at CamD Peary. Va. He was sent from there to the University of Illinois on the basis of his recruit training aptitude test scores. At the time he entered the service he was employed by the A. C.
