Not Locate Here. Lt.

Dr. W. Kirkpatrick and family spent Saturday and Sunday visiting friends in Haven. The doctor is looking right well although considerably thinner than when practicing medicine here before the war. We regret to say that he has never entirely recovered from the gassing" he received while in the course of his duties on the battle field, and he is not physically able to resume his practice in Haven at the present time.

The government has made provision to pay tne schooling expenses of men who were gassed while serving their country, and Dr. Kirkpatrick is xpecting to take advantage of 'lis offer and spend a cuuple of years htting himaeir ior worn a specialist in some branch of his profession, He expects to enroll in one of the big medical schools when the fall terms open, and it is hoped that the lung tissues so badly damaged by the boche poison will in time rebuild so that he will be as strong a formerly. The doctor made a splendid half hour's talk at the picture show Saturday night, which was greatly enjoyed by the larg- audience. Court and Fsed Are Home Court Vanordstrand and Fred Scott arrived home Monday night and Tuesday morning, with their discharge papers. Both these boys were members of the 353 rd all Kansas regiment of the 89th division, which first became amoua in the St.

Mihiel drive. The boys were in differ-ent companies and seldom saw each other during the war. However Fred was doing some teaming for a supply company while they were in the army of Occupation, and they got chances to swap home news more frequently. They reached Camp Funston Friday evening, and beat it home just as quickly as they could get their discharge papers.

It isn't likely that I would hesitate to call some gil that, but you see when it conus to someone that we love as we do our mother, then I am a little bashful and shy.

Of course you know that we all love you, but I'll bet you like to be told just as well as any girl, so here goes and you just bet it is bo, I love you mother dear, and surely wish I could be there today instead of writing it. Perhaps it would be harder but it would be better. Say, mother how long has it been since you got a love letter? I'll bet you can't tell. It surely seems that we boys are neglect If ul of so many things that would help so very much to make our mothers realize that we do appreciate the fact that a mother is jast the best gin a ieiiovv ever naa or ever will have. It seems of late that we will be on our homeward uniey sometime within the next two months, and I surely hope we are.

Right now it is hard to figure on anything until we find out what the Germans will do about the peace treaty. They say they wont sign it the way it stands at present, but it is quite likely they will change their minds before the time is up. As it is, we are prepared either way it goes, but of course would much rather come home. I surely hope this letter will reach you in record time as thr papers Say it will, for all Mother's Day letters are to be given preference. It sure seema that there can be lots of changes in one ahort i year, in another )atn it wiu be just one yeor sinci we hat Earl, and I sure wish he were here today to write you also, but such was not to be.

It is certain though that his last though were of home and Mother for which he was willing to give his That is surely enough proof that he loved you, as it if for any man over here who gave his life for his country and home. God grant that those of us who came through safely can come home better men and better qualified to carry out the ideals for which so many lives have been sacrificed. I rm sure that the experiences that we have all been through are either enough to make men of us, or bums, and thtre is no reason for any of us who wish to be other wise, to be bums. We are having the most beautiful weather here now, and it is su-e a pretty country. Everything is out in bloom, or the leaves ae all out.
