HOW "FLU" DOES YOU.
The following graphic description of
influenza symptoms was written by
Will R. Jones of Little Rock to Henry
Patterson, Sr., of Searcy:
"If you havont had the flu, you can
tell when you have it by my sympt-
oms. It creeps upon you like prohi-
bition did on Kansas. First you have

Dear JInmma:
Today I received your letter; one
from you, one from papa, one from
Esther, and one from Mr. Condron.
From all reports the kids nrc cor-
tainly liking to go to school this
year. They will learn a good deal
more, if they go at It in that spirit.
Yes, the 90th division was up at
the front, and did excellent work.
Since they allow that much publicity
in the states, I suppose it will not1
do any harm for me to say that they
have been relieved and arc back from
the front But I must insist on hav-
ing the general in command called
by his proper title. You had him re-
duced to a Major, while papa desig-
nated him ns the chitff commander
He is Major-Genenl Allen. But this
in jest.
"I hope you will not worry too much
about me. Your anxiety concerning
me comes closer to me than consider
ation for my own safety or comfort.
I can imagine how you feel, being
nlways in uncertainly.
I think I was very fortunate in
getting into this company. On the
average, it contains a very fine bunch
of men to get along with. Am seeing
everything from the private's view-
point, the best way for a man to see
it who has had no previous military
experience. It would seem to me
that men who at late hour are coming
out of officer's trainings, men who
stepped out civil life into military,
will have a heavy responsibility when 1

high, is carefully trained up a stake,
and the soil between the vines is
intensively cultiveted. The people
go out with big oral shaped, wooden
vats, mounted on carts, which are
reached by sUiort ladders. The fruit
is first gathered into tapening wooden
or wicker baskets, worn on the back.
They look like papoose-carriers
The big sight is to, see the men
and boys, barefooted, breeches rolled
to the knees, treading the juice out
of the grapes. It gives an idea what
picture the writer had in mind when
she wrote,
"He is Trampling out the vintage,
Wheie the grapes of wrath are
stoied."
I bet some of the letters which the
boys wrote are as amusing as the
things which they describe. "
What a wealth of information and
misinformation all of us do send

return and tell about it.

LETTER FROM W. TREUHARDT.
Somewhere in France, Oct. 4, 1918.
Dear Father:
Just received your letter, was glad
to hear all are in good health only
thing that is bothering me is a little
bad cold, We aro always on the go
here, I have just returned from a five
days trip, enjoyed the trip very much,
saw a good many of my old friends
from San Antonio, seen some boys
that had beenwith Nody, but they
did not know where his regiment
was, if I am ever able to locate his
company, will surely go over to see
him if possible. I have been driving
a truck ever since this company has
had theirs and we are kept pretty
busy, have been as much as 40 hours
on duty without sleep and about one
meal. We have everything from
supplies to patients.
The news is getting to look very
encouraging here and I guess the
Germans will , soon realize that it
costs them much more to discover
America than "it did Columbus 400
years ago.
There is lots of nows that I would
like to write about but it will hard-
ly pass the censor, so I will simply
have to wait until we, return than I
can tell you all about it.
Will close for this time, will be
glad to receive a lettor from home
as often as possible. Best regards
toall from you son.
