OUR BOYS IN SERVICE
At oor ta^jaeat Mrs. Keegan allows us this letter from the mother of a soldier boy firom the West One rea¬ son in particular for wishing; to pub¬ lish this ia because of a foolish item in a recent issue of one of thc Brooklyn dailies, giving the impression that our soldier boys are stuffed to satiety and that it is wasted effort to entertain them outside of camps. It is quite evident that this soldier boy appreci¬ ated the entertainment ^ven him on Thahkagiving Day. Incidentally on that day at our local camp dinner was served at 2 o'clock when the boys were excused from further eating un¬ til breakfast thc next day:

Stole Boy s Christmas Goat
While on his beat Christmas Eve •bout 2:80, Officer Grossman saw two men coming with a bundle. He atopped them, when they threw the bundle in the bushes and attempted to escape, but he compelled them to tiome back and open the bundle, which contained a goat which had just been killed evidently for food. The two men, Italians, were taken to Police Headqnarters, where they were en¬ tered as Nicholas Carlo anB Fred Greal. They were held under $200 hail for trial.
, The goat was later identified by Walter Gorley, master of the Man¬ hattan Golf Club, as one he had pur¬ chased for his boy's Christmas pres-
Dear Mr. and Mra. Raynor:—
After being considerably jostled about,both on land and sea, during the past weeks, we now find ourselves in quarters for the Winter. Wc sleep in a large bam loft and are conducting a hospital within twenty miles of the front trenches where the continuous booming of the heavy cannons reach our ears when thc wind is right.
The ocean trip was rather un¬ eventful, a great many of our boys were seasick.
We finally reached a French port and enjoyed very much the unusual sights.
This town is a typical French coun¬ try village and is composed of the owners of the farms. Most of the buildings here are very old; the oid castle, or chateaux, where we have established our hospital was erected in 1616. We now find plenty to do, but all are glad to be at work, after being idie so long.
The climate so far has been quite a rainy one and also pretty cold, but we are at last getting acclimated.
I don't know of course at what time you will get this letter, but if it geta there before the holidays I certainly wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Thanking you for the most enjoya¬ ble evening spent at your home, I am Very sincerely,
Emest F. Knight, 167th Field HospiUl, 117th Sanitary Train.
ViOage Board in Sessicm
At thc meeting of the Village Board last Thursday afternoon it was deeid¬ ed t« shut the village e'ectric lights down to a "moonlight" schedule. This provide* that on clear moonlight nights no street lights will be turned on. If thc nights should be stormy or very cloudy thc lights arc to be bumed.
John T. Cotter, asaiatant cnelticer at the power house, in charge of thc municipal plant at night, from 10 p. ra. to 6 a. m., asked for an increase in salary. H« is now rcceiTiiig $27.60 a week without any pay for overtime work. The Board laid over the quea¬ tion until the next meeting.
Mr. Cotter said he had been with the village ever since the plant was established, lacking only a few months of 20 years' service.
The Board discussed thc purchase of a village service flag. They decid¬ ed thcy had ne legal authority to pnr¬ chase one, bnt would be glad to have personal contributions from residents. J. M. Palmer asked for a street light at coraer of Onslaw Place and South Side Avenae—the Board went down to look over the situation after adjournment.
The li«rhtcommitteereported against establishing lights in middle of blocks on Bedell Street as petitioned, as they did not think it advisable to go to the necessary extra expense at this time. A resolution was passed that every man to whom equipment for the Free- port Unit, Home Defense Reserve, had been issued, be requested to return the equipment to the village unless he in¬ tends to remain active in the organ¬ ization.
A communication was received from the Fuel Administrator asking that "unnecessary" street lighting be elim¬ inated Thursday and Sunday even¬ ings. The Board approved this and ordered the police to be instructed to this effect.,        --
Engineer William R. Smith was present and stated that if the plant were operated as at present, by com¬ paring resords of previous years, the lights on the streets would be burned about 1073 hours, and if on the so- called moonlight schedule, 706 hours, which would save over 100 tons of coal. The Board decided, as noted above, that this was worth taking into consideration, the coal now costing around |3 a ton.
Leo Fishel, special counsel for col¬ lecting of arrearages, was instructed to send flnal notices to a number of users of water who are in arrears and if payment is not niade within 30 days he is to submit' further report to the Board and secure orders to begin foreclosure actions. Mr. Fishel stat¬ ed that abont |5,030 was involved, fie has collected another $6^00 during the year.
Bank Evidences Prosperity
The generosity of the Directors of the First National Bank as well as the prosperity of the institution is evi- dsnced by the action of the Directors in voting an additional 15% of the year's salary to each of the employ¬ ees as a Christmas present, and at a recent meeting they voted a semi¬ annual dividend of 6% payable to the stockholders January 1, 1918.

Commander Patterson has been confined to the house for some three months with rheumatism, but he hired 1 taxi and with the aid of friend.s and his own pluck, which never fails, he was on hand just the same, and never frt-esided with more dignity and feel¬ ing.
Out of a membership of about 30, over 20 were in attendanes at the meeting and not a comrade was re¬ ported ill or in distress.

At the church services the young choir rendered several earol» which were very appropriate for Christmas; also a beaatifal Christ¬ mas sermon by Rev. WilUam B. Allis.
The Red Cross campaign is doin; fine, having taken in quite a few new members, and the Red Cross night last Thursday was very successful as far as the program was concerned, the tableaux being fine, but we think there might have ben more of our people interested, both Red Cross members and non-members. Those who kindly assisted were Mr. and Mrs. Harry Thomas, Messrs. Harold Van Tuyl, Ralph Box, Elvin Bodley. After appearing at the Parish Uouse the party went to Bellmore at the theatre and Wi-ro very well received. A full report of new memhers will be published next week.

'Your letter of tho 15th inst. re¬ ceived advising that the Headquarters would probably close on Monday.

The Yankee Of It
We haven't much room or time for poetry, but here's an exception from one of our soldiers, loaned us by Miss Hortense Mayer, well illustrating the ?ood-natured American way of look¬ ing at things that prevail in the army as in civilian life:
ARMY LIFE
No more ham or eggs or grape fruit When the bugle calls for chow No more app'e pie or dumplings For we're in the army now. They give us beans for breakfast And for lunch we have them, too And at night they give us plenty of That good o.'d army stew.
No more fizzes, beer or hiShballs When we've got an awful thirst If youre thinking of enlisting Best get used to water first. For the lid's on tight all over And the drilling makes us warm But we can't cool off with liquor Cause we wear the uniform. No more feather ticks or pillows But we're glad to thank the Lord That we've got a cot and blanket When we might have just a board. But by jinks, we'll lick the Kaiser When the sergeants teach ?is how For to hane^him,. he's the reason Thtt we're in the krmy now.
Freeport Woman Writes Book
"The Girl of the Golden Future," by Isabel Irene Elterich, was written in anticipation of New York State wo¬ man's enfranchisement. It is ad¬ dressed to Girlies everywhere and is a cue" for her in assuming her new equality role of citizenship.
Mrs. Elterich in October, 1914, en¬ tered the votes for women campaigm and has since given of her time and energy to the cause, believing, as she claimed, that world woman's enfran¬ chisement is the most important issue in the world today.
Mrs. Elterich's father, Judge Orin- datus Wall, believed in the equality of the sexes and helped many women in face of strong opposition to practice law and pead before the Bar.
