I hardly had opened the package before three of my pals had gathered around asking for a chance to read one of them. There were so many who wanted to read them that there is in almost every case a long list of . I sailors waiting for the other fellow Food Conservation; to finish with it. The fellows appre ciate it Just as much, and maybe more, as though you had taken the trouble to carefully sort them out. For if there happens to be one which doesn't exactly interest one of us, it is sure to appeal to someone else. The only thing "m afraid of is that they will wear out through the use they will get, passing through so many hands. So kindly accept my heartfelt thanks on behalf of the Jersey boys.

I am more than glad to know that the soldier boys are welcome at Free- port. I think it is the nicest place there is in New York. I am glad to know the people of Freeport think so much of the soldier boys.
I will give a brief sketch of my life. I was born in Alabama on June 2tj, 1895; received only a common school education of two years. I quit school at the early age of 16, being in the 7th grade. I have 8 brothers and one sis¬ ter. All my brothers are married ex¬ cept one and my sister is married. She married in 1909, and she lost her husband in October, 1916, leaving 4 children—2 girls and 2 boys. My father was bom February 2, 1840, and my mother, February 23, 1840. I en¬ listed in the Army on the 16th day of March, 1917, leaving one brother at home (single) and he was called in the first draft, and no one left to help father and mother at home, but by my prayers and by the good Lord's will I trust they would have a living, for the Lord said' He would provide for His people and I think my father and mother are living a Christian life and there isn't a night that I don't pray for them. I ask Go<i to spare my life and their lives that we may meet again before long; that I may return j home to stay and be with my parents again. May God bless those other! boys' dear old loving mothers who are | praying for the same day and may i God have mercy on those mothers and ! save their boys that they may live to see each other again.
Financial Contributions We will need some more cash soon. The work bids fair to continue thru the Winter; the expenses have been and we trust and really believe, will continue to be met by public contri¬ butions.
Received this week: Robert A. Patrick $10.00
Can Use Smokes and Candy Let us repeat: Donations of ci¬ gars, cigarettes and candy are al¬ ways welcome. We have been well supplied, but the expense falls quite heavy on some few. Any time you think of it the contribution will be welcome.
Home Boys Always Welcome , Harold Bucfcen paid us a visit Sun¬ day morning. Harold came in an auto from Camp Upton—says it took 'em 2 hours and 5 minutes. He is in the Depot Brigade, where is also Harold E. Brown of Freeport. He says the latter was in the hospital for several days with trouble to his feet, but is now all right. By the way, the wind last week blew in the front windows of Mr. Bucken's electrical supply store on Church Street, but Harold isn't worrying—he looks "better'n'ever."

No Election Returns
By Telephone
The New York Telephone Company this year will be unable to give out election results by telephone as has been its custom heretofore.
Announcment to this effect is made by C. A. Ryder, the Telephone Com- pan's local manager. In normal years the 'Telephone Company has collected election results by means of special equipment and a special organization, and has furnished it upon request. This year, however, such reports can¬ not be given without running the risk of hampering telephone service, for under the present war conditions, neither the equipment nor the organ¬ ization is available for this special service. Because of this sitiuition the Telephone Company requests that subscribers do not ask the operators for returns on Election Night.

Honors Its Soldiers
