T can tell you, however, that I am in the best of heaith and am still driving a Pierce truck. I like my work very much and find it mighty interesting at times. With all the sights I will be mighty glad to set foot in dear old America again. T have got a strong idea that we'll all be home by Christmas of this vear.

Not once_has my letter failed to reach me each®week and smerican cigarettes and newspapers have been sent to my address here. I appreciate,| those highly, as American cigarettes are as scarce as gold here. I am more than pleased to learn that you have become a_member of the Knights of Columbus.

Miss Edith Sandstrom of the Meth- odist Episcopal hospital, New York, is having two weeks' vacation and is calling on friends here. NOTICE Commencing June 1, 1918, the price of gas furnished by this department will be as follows: Up to 30,000 cu.,ft. per month $1.50 per 1,000 cu. ft. 30,000 to 130,000 cu. $1.30 per 1,000 cu. ft. amount used. All over 150,000 cu. ft. per month $115 per 1,000 cu. ft. for entire amount used. No bills will be rendered, however, at a less amount than that which is calculated for the maximum amount at the rate of the preceding block. In making this increase, your Com- missioners have given the matter careful consideration and find that, because of the excessive increase of the cost of labor and all material entering into the manufacturing of gas, it is-impossible to sell the prod- uct at the present price. It is hoped that this increase will be but temporary, for, as soon as conditions warrant, the price will be reduced.
