Tho Herald Tulia Texas
I am herewith onclosing to you 150
for which plcaso keep tho Herald coming
for a whllo longer
I hopo by tho timo my subscription
runs out this timo to bo back in Tulla
to Btay for I bcliovo by that timo tho
Dattlo of Kelly Held will havo bcon
won and most of tho men discharged
I am onclosing a clipping from tho
Army and Navy Journal which I
think pretty woll describes tho feeling
of sovcrnl hundred men in this field
as woll as tho other enmps in the country
Of course there were not very
many men in tho Army who wcro not
disappointed because they did not got
to go across and somo of them for
thnt snino reason nro pretty well ills
gustod and nro ready to swear that
tho war was a complete failure bo
cause it did not last until wo got ncross
But just tho same wo aro all ready for
our discharge now nud ready to step
into tho plnccs we left to enlist bigger
better healthier men thnn we wcro
when war was declared
Hoping that tho Heralds staff soon
get over their 1lu and wishing you
nil a Merry Christmas and Happy nnd
Prosperous New Yoar I remain
Yours very truly

Who did not volunteer
And plenty moro will bo going oer
Whod just ns soon stay here
Tho most unfortunate man today
Is thefellow who camo to tho front
And offered his nil nt his countrys call
And was ready to bear tho brunt
But was cast asido and assigned elso
vthora
To Replacement or Depot Bregadc
And there to remain till ho grew Insane
As lie waited in vain for aid
lor his longedfor chance to go to
Trance
Does not niuternllrcj
no storms and lie frets but ho never
gets
His chaucu liko thoother guys
He writes in despair to his friends Over
Thero
That hed givo ten years of his llfo
If ho could got in it for only a minuto
To try out his luck in tho strife
Now last year they told him that thoy
hud to hold him
On this sido with other good men
To train now recruits in making salutes
Yot again and ngnin and again
Now tho end of the fight Is almost in
sight
Hes as far from the front as at first
Is It any great wonder ho thinks it a
blunder
And his soreness cannot bo dispersed
lor now it would seem that his fondest
dream
To fight for tho U S A
Will never arrive although he may
strive
Aud hopo against hopo for tho Day
Tho lucky ones in this great world war
Aro not tho men who wero killed
Nor tho wounded ones bo thoy Allies
or Huns
No matter what blood they havo
spilled
Tho most unfortnnuto man today
Is the man who jumped nt tho chance
To fight like Hell from the tap of tho
bell
But wholl novcr sco service in

1 That tlio red tape about Federal
Loan Is all talk
2 That thero Is practically
speaking no liability of ono member
for another and that tho farm
mortgngo stands only for its debt
3 That a fixed low interest rnto
in theso times of finnncinl uncertainty
for a long period of time
with tho prlvilcgo of paying nt tho
end of fivo years and rewriting
nt a lower rate in case saiuo can bo
obtained later is a decided advantage1 That tho amortization plan of
paying whereby onohnlf of ono

onnunlly for 34 K years discharges
the whole principal of tho lonn
saxes 0500 ou tho 100 or 05

UNIVERSAL MEMBERSHIP

Christmas Boll Call
Fixing quotas has boon such a familiar
fcaturo of previous campaigns
whether to sell Liberty BondB or to
raiso welfare and rellof funds that tho
falluro o assign a quota to TULIA
in tho Red Cross Christmas Roll Call
is arousing discussion
Tho reason given by tho local Rod
Cross chapter is logical Tho Red
Cross now is so widely known and so
strongly approved that tho goal of tho
Christmas Roll Call is nothing short
of Universal Membership In othor
words tho census figures will bo
TULTAS quota as they will be
for the wholo nation
Tlio wcok of December 1023 will seo
this apparently formldablo task accomplished
becnuso thoro will bo an eager
spirit of co operation Moro than 22
000000 prosent mombors in tho Unltod
States will answer Hero and it Is
tho hopo of tlio Rod Cross War Council
that troblo or quadruplo that number
will join and so permit n Christmas Eva
cablo to Europe that tho American
pcoplo aro Bolidly bohlnd tho Red Cross
spirit
Tho Rod Cross Christmas Roll Call is
not an effort to raiso money and no one
in Tulla will bo asked for contributions
Tho annual membership duos
amount to only ono dollar
Tulla and Swisher County undoubtedly
has as many dollars for tho Rod
Cross as there aro adults In Its populationotaor = rr
