Dear Friend :
The boys have your papers
which my father, J. W. Tressler, has
been sending me regularly since March,
1918, when I entered the service of the
army and we sure do appreciate home
news after being in the hot south all
summer ; but we have been right at
home at our occupation. I, have been
an instructor in the carpenter school
for four months; we do all kinds of
building such as mess halls, kitchens and
furniture making of all kind—tables,
benches, chairs, lockers, etc.
We all do our bit to help win this war,
but the Spanish Influenza has been so
bad here. Seven thousand cases all
told at this camp and a very large death
roll, but no new cases for several lays,
so it is all over now and believe me the
boys are all happy and glad and all er-
joying good health at present. There
are between eighty and one hundred
thousand soldiers here, [ was very sor-
ry to hear of the deaths of several peo
ple from our home town of the influ-
enza.

They are vital to every American who
wishes to ald his country in the food
crisis of the coming Year.

something about prices?

Why doesn't the government lay
down a schedule of rations to follow?
There is no schedule of rations that
