BEE. A LETTER FROM OVER THERE Epsom Surrey, England Dec. 8, 1917. Merry Xmas. Dear Mother; I am writting to inform you that I have receiyed your letter to- day, and am glad that you are well and happy. It certainly was foolish of Freeman to join tne Engineers. Don't you think he is to young, and then why not a fighting unit? Mother you failed to give me aunt Hattie's address, also Freeman's address. Don't forget. Well this is Saturday and tomorrow I am going to London for dinner to wife's and her folks and I know I am going to have soon time for you see I am still on light diet and of course they will expect me to eat plenty and then some. Have been down to see some very peachy plays at the theatre. I am simply having the high life. My wound is coming great as you will think by me going all the time and mother, you will never know me when you do see me for I am bigger and much better looking than ever. I am getting to be a real tough guy, OOOO ha! ha! I only wish I were coming home My stars how home sick I am get- ting mother, have been thinking of joining the \Flying Corps\ but, wifie will not hear to it so I guess it is napoo finis in that line and I imagine you will be tickled to death over this. 0! But the women are awful. Well dear old England is still the same. Warm nights with the sky illuminated by hund- reds of lights, golden sunset and the most beautiful landscapes imagin- able. 0 its great to think you are fighting for some thing that is so grand and hospitatly while everyone is free to us. We go for auto rides walks, shows concerts all free simply the spirit of walk in England your attitude. Now I am going to close wishing you all a Merry Xmas and a very Happy and prosperous New Year.

OTIS SMITHERS Otis Smithers, son of Rev. W. S. Smithers formerly a resident of Heuvelton and brother of F. B. Smithers of this place, died Jan. 23, at Fort Oglethorpe, Ga., of Spinal Meningitis. He was a good Christian young man and of exemplary character. He was a graduate of Syracuse University and was studying to be an Osteopath, in Philadelphia, Pa., at the time of his enlistment. He was one of the ten thousand young men, who were sent to New Rochelle, where through some mis- take no preparation had been made to receive them. The Red Cross ladies came to the rescue. They sheltered and fed these young men until the camp could be prepared. Much praise is due the Red Cross.

How I do hate the Kaiser, NO MID-WINTER MEETING OF THE CLUB FEDERATION War Conditions Make it Undesirable to Hold Gathering, President Says The officers of the Northern N. Y. Federation of Women's Clubs have decided that it is unadvisable to hold the usual mid-winter meet- ing, this year. Among the reasons for this decision are: The inablity to secure a warm place in which to hold the meeting, the difficulty in getting any one to serve the luuch- eon except at a prohibitive price; and because the government dis- courages travel and is asking the women to give their time to war activities.

SUBSCRIPTION LAWS Here are the decisions of the United States Courts on the subject of newspaper subscriptions: \Subscribers who do not give ex- press notice to the contrary are con- sidered as wishing to renew their subscriptions. ''If the subscriber refuses to take periodicals from the postoffice, to which they are directed he is respon sible until he has settled his bill and ordered the paper discontinued. \If subscribers move to other places with out informing the pub lisher and the papers are sent to his former address the subscriber is held responsible. \The courts have held that refus- ing to take periodicals from the post office or removing and leaving them uncalled for is prima facie evidence of intention to defraud. If subscribers pay in advance, they are bound to give notice at the end of the time if they do not wish to continue taking it, otherwise the subscriber is responsible until ex- press notice with payment of all ar- rearges is sent to the publisher.\ All orders for Watkins goods can be left at JohnDixon's barber shop J5t 5 FRANK GREEN.
