Railroading is a tough business
is required to provide the rail transportation necessitated
by the war.
ROCK ISLAND, because of its stamina, is now speeding its
full share of the men and materials of war; and when final
victory comes, a rugged ROCK ISLAND will be ready
then to serve the increased transportation needs of
tomorrow’s greater America.

sole purpose is to provide the finest in transportation.

I:had a veryinteresUng letter
front Lt>. James Donald Hall this
past week and X noticed after his
name that he also had the letters
"D C" and I racked my brain for
quite some time trying to figure
out just what this means and about
the only thing that I knew for
sure that it did stand for was Di-
rect Current.
Sgt. James T. (Puddcn Head*,
wrote me about a two page letter
from Lubbock this past week telling
me about ills condition relative to
! tires and I am writing him and
' telling him that if he was the only
I one that we would be glad to care
I for him in a big way, but I do
think that the OPA should make
some provisions for each of you
boys in service but to this minute
there is nothing that any local
board can do for you.
Glen M. Davis, who is now at
Alamagordo, N.M., wrote me a very
nice letter this past week express-
ing to me his thanks for something
that I had done for him. Although
I did not expect him to write me,
I really did appreciate his letter.
I saw a letter from Ed Beasley
this past week to his mother and
although he could not Sell
where he is, it is a pretty
known fact that he is some place
In the South Pacific and in this
he expressed his desire for food
for Christmas and in this he want-
ed a frlut cake, fried chicken, hot
biscuits and a quart of sweet milk
and I just thought that this would
really be a mighty nice dinner for
any one at any time.
Billie Wall was here for the foot-
ball game the 11th and said that
he really did enjoy it and that to
him it was a treat to be home and
se the game at the same time.
Essie Hicks who is home for a few
days from San Antonio tells me
that he is really doing fine and
that one thing that he does really
really do at that is to eat and that
the food is really fine but I can
understand why he can get most
anything that he wants at most any
time for he tells me that he is Mess
Sergant there.
I saw a picture of Tllbert Rey-
nolds and his bride, who is now
6ba(tloned sonte place In Florida
and I told his mother that as good
looking as his wife was that X did
not blame him at all for marrying
her, for she Is really good looking.
Ben Essery was in town this
morning and he has been in service
for some time and during this time
his parents had moved and he was
really trying to find out how to
get home so after some telephon-
ing I finally found jftst where his
folks lived and he immediately
started for ijome.
t wish that each of you boys
were home for a few days for we
are really having some of the nicest
weather that you ever saw Just cool-
clear and the kind that make
everyone mighty happy that they
are living and more especially that
they live in the Pnnhandle of Tex-
as. I,ast night I was up town for
few minutes and ran into B. A.
(Nig) Purkey who had just come
in on the train and he was trying
to find a way home and I took him
