AMONG OUR msm&
Camp Jos. E. Johnston,
Dceemblsr S9, 1917< Mr. Smith F. PearsaU, Dear Friend:— Just a few lines to let yon know that I have arrived here safe and iound.. I arrived here last Wedaes¬ day noon. Tha weather hss been very dear and warm Uke a Sum¬ mer's day. The evenings are very cooL We are housed in two story barracks, with plenty of light, heat and T^tiiation. The grub is pretty fair under conditions that are ex- tstinir, ss it is quite hard to receive a largo amoant of supp.ies as every¬ thing is aU topay-tmnry np where I am located. There are also hot and cold showers here.
I spent a most enjoyable Christ¬ mas Day in the home of a privato family. I went to a Congregation¬ al Charch on Sunday morning to at¬ tend the moming service, and on my way out received the kind invitation for Chriatmas dinner. JacksonviUe is some city. Beaatifal homes, and lots of palms grow on the streets.
I am on K. P. to-day and have been kept very busy waiting on tfie table. K. P. moans kitchen police in the army, and each man hss tO take a tarn at that kind cf duty. They generally tako about eight men from a floor in a barracks to do this duty. It is mining quite iiard, and all hands are in quarters exfejn^. those aisignsd to get wood to kelp the ftres going.
I met B. J. Loonam Jr. and he wan quite surpriaed to see me in cimp. I have not met Orlando Raynor or Henry Kranz yet, ai I have not had time to leave my barrsclcs to pay hsm a visit. .
I am feeling very grfod just now, plenty cf sulphur water to drink aai they Ray it is very go.id for rh*i- matism. I'xib camp, is a' training camp for quartermasters, who will receive a cource in training and wien wiU be assigned to n company hnd (hen I flon't know where we wi'| bs -ent. I do not kdow how long I\will be down here, but will let you rfnow later on. Have there been jany more fires down hotme lately?     /
I will now close my letter 'as >I mast report to the me.is sergeai|u for daty on noon mess. [       '

Is the Lure of Saburfasa Life Vanislung?
Nassaa County Review,.
Freeport, L. I. Dear Editor :-,-
One ^of the^a^^ices (ivffi by the Federal Food Admii^isliatsr is this: Eat fowls' and sava do beef, twrk and Iamb. »
TWe fruit cf tha fowl though not mentioned (eggs) is the never missed item of the mens for meatleas daya.
Few's and egga being presently at :he disposal of hundrals of ttiou- sands of families, bscause quartered in the respective yards of so impos¬ ing an army of suburb dwallers, it certain^ m^ans a great daal of con¬ servation 6f other grades of meat, for the use and.comfort of our city dwellers and our gallant allies. But ihe supp'y of this home yard indus¬ try will spon be a thing of the psst unless drastic and prompt steps are taken by those in charge of tha food ^nnservation towards regulating the ?eed prices.
This is not a dream nor a false alarm, but a perceptable fact to any, who has an interest in the parpat- lation of the advantages deriving from this lure of the suburban life.
In the year 1916 tha yearly main- ':enaDee of a hen did not excaed $2, whUe today it wiU excaed $4 and to¬ morrow may exceed $6 or more, hence prieas for feed shoald be looked into and fixed in the same fashion Ba commodities if the sub¬ urban yards are to be kept stocked with tha precioas animals. Many may do away for a time with heaf, pork and Iamb without much discom¬ fort, but the fowl for its unrivaUed fruit (oggs). will ba missed by all the suburban dwallers in particular but in general by the sick and the weak, for nothing can fiub:tituta the
An exp'osion and slisrht fire ac lurred.in the residanca of Gaorge Rof¬ fey on Grand Avenue Sanday mom ing, due to the freezing of the watai pipea. When Mr. Riiffey started thc are in tha ranje tha hot water tan! axplcded, blowing oflft ; everal cf thc wind:ws in the rear of the house. Hir young son, who was seated near one f the windows, was hurled through it by the forca of the explosion, but re C3ived cnly a few minor hraises. The fire was extinguished without calling out the fire dapartment.
Frank Wolfe and family left last waek for a sojourn during .Jhe cold weather in Brooklyn.

A striking new catatog:ue, fine specimen cf the printer's art,'of Baa- ben Midmer dc Son, Inc., the local bui'ders of pipe organ8,has just been issued. This company has bean re¬ cently reorganized and we note that the president now is Maximilian J. Av«rbeck of New York; the Vice- Pres. Mr. Averbeck Jr., \Supt. of Factory, Arthur L. Fenton; Sec. and Treas., James G. Light; Auditor, Walter J. Nichols; Consulting Or¬ ganist, Harry Woodstock. Reed Midmer, formerly sole owner of the buziness, is Cliairman of tha Bonrd of Directors. It is proposed tb en¬ large the works by the erection of a new building. The Midmer organs bear a hijrh reputation far qaality cf tune and workmanship and there is every prospect tfftft with the naw orgamsation business will be in- crsiKfd a hundredfold.*
Among our soMier boys who spent New Years at their homes in this vil¬ 'age were Walter Brockman, Clair Bartholomew and LeRoy Billings.
The Christmas exercises of thc BeUmore Avenue Presbytarian Church were held last Friday evening in thc 'dtttirch and the .seating capacity of the building was taxed to it: imit to accommodate those who at-^ banded. l)he children presctited very interesting and enterUining program and all were remembered in a substontial way by Santo Clatia.
