Lutheran Church Notes
JMKOTA C1TY-SALEM
Rev. C R. Lowe.
The conference last week at Hoop
er was a very enjoyable affair. We
were busy all the time but with a
different sort of business than we
have at Synod. We had under con
sideration various subjects of inter
est and expediency for the church.
We were delightfully entertained in
the homes of the good people of
Hooper and the last day we were
fed, conference and families of the
church, in the basement of the
church. The building is new, bright,
and well appointed; the congrega
tion are happy and tho it is young
and not so wonderfully large, I un
derstand from some of the merch
ants on the street they are meeting
their bills promptly, There is noth
ing better that a church can do.
If it docs not, its influence in the
community will be seriously handi
capped. One very interesting feat
ure of the conference tho not at all
connected with it was the ap
proaching wedding of pastor de
Treese, which was Tuesday, May 1st.
On Friday morning while waiting
tor train time I had a very pleasant
visit with the pastor, and his mother
whom I knew in Atchinson at the
home of the bride, and at noon dined
at the home of an old Midland stu
dent, which was very much enjoyed.
We will announce a musical enter
tainment at the Salem church for
Saturday night May 19th. It will
be given by three or four ladies
from the musical college of the Ne
braska university under the man
agement of Miss Flavel Bollman.
These ladies have been making ly
ceum trips for a couple of years.
They are semi-professional musi
cians. They will give an excellent
entertainment. They come to us
without any price or guarantee.
There will be no admission charged
at the' door. There will be on offer
ing made which will be given to
them. We all know three or four
ladies cannot be on the road without
expense and our people do not ex
pect them to be. If we have a good
entertainment we are willing to pay
right for it. This is a part of our
plan to serve the community. We
are glad to have secured this enter
tainment at such terms. It will be
our pleasure to do the fair thing by
them.
It will not be possible for the pas
tor to go to Homer next Sunday
aftermoon on account of the funeral
of Clyde Armour at the Salem
church Sunday at 2 p. m.
Emmanuel's Missionary society
meets next Thursday at 2 p. m. at
the parsonage.
Synod was to meet at Omaha this
fall so that the pastors could attend
the quadricentinal celebration. It
has been found necessary to hold
this celebration in June. And as
the reason for synodical meeting at
Omaha had disappeared, Grace
church relinquished her claim and
the meeting place has been changed
to Grand Island and the time has
been set for early in October. The
pastor was ordained at that place
ten years ago.
One of the very best traits of a
Sunday school is punctuality, to be
on time is to be ahead in the race.
We are all depended upon in this.
Nothing can be done till we are
there enough of us. State Sunday
school workers say begin on time
even if there is no one there. The
pastor has followed that injunction
literally and tho it is a good thing,
it is a poor practice. And if we are
depended upon for a certain part,
how much more necessary it is that
we be punctual. Then the following
service is not delayed. We can ar
range the matter if we begin on
time, on Saturday, may be.

Soldiers' Letters
Eddie R. Ansnes to Donald Best.
Ft. Winfield Scott, Cal., Apr 23, '17
Dear Don: How is everything in
old D. C. since it got rid of us
"rough-necks?" This place is sure
a peach. I never dreamed of com
ing here, but things do happen in
the best of families. We are all to
gether in one company, except Mel
ford and Isaac, but they will be with
us in a few days. There is as much
difference between this fort and Ft.
Logan as there is between day and
night. We have an extra room here
with two pool tables, a bookcase and
victrola. I thought they were go
ing to send us to Honolulu, but I
would rather stay in Frisco. About
the third day we were in Ft. Logan
they sent 400 men to Honolulu. We
had a special train coming here con
sisting of twelve cars nine cars
were switched off somewhere in
New Mexico. Howard Rockwell
stayed at Ft. Logan, working in the
hospital.
Our fort is right on the bank of
Frisco boy. I don't think we will
stay here so very long. They give
us a pass for 25 days, and believe
me I am going to make good use of
mine. Tell them all hello for me.
Eddie R. Ansnes.
From Chester Antrim to his par
ents, Mr. nnd Mrs. Chas. Antrim.
Ft. Winfield Scott, Cal., Apr 22, '17
Dear Folks: I thought I would
write you a few lines and tell you
that we are all well and hope you
are the same. We left Ft. Logan
Thursday night and got to Ft. Win
field Scott Sunday morning at 9
o'clock. The ride was fine while we
were in the mountains, but when
we went through Mexico in the
desert I got a headache and I
thought it would burst, and I have a
little touch of it yet.
We get our clothes and guns to
morrow, and then we will have some
hard drilling. We had our first
ride on a ship this morning. It is
about an hour's ride from the shore
to &an v rancisce, and the tort is
three miles west from there. The
street car runs from the boat to the
fort, so we have no walking to speak
of.
I nearly starved to death coming
out here, as they fed us on hardtack
and corned beef, and since I have
been here 1 have been eating like a
pig.
Howard Rockwell has a job at
Ft. Logan and stayed there, but
Isaac is with us and Frank Sides
will be here tomorrow.
They had a ball game here today
and it didn't look bad to us. We
are going to get a team together
and "rim them up." We were down
to the bay this afternoon and saw
all kinds of ships, and an airship.
We haven't anything to do on
Sunday, only stand retreat at 5:30
in the afternoon. Well, I guess
Harold is going to write a few lines,
so goodbye, from your son,
Chester Antrim.
From Gerald Hall to Raymond
Ream:
Ft. Winfield Scott, Cal., Apr. 27, '17
Dear friend: I almost forgot that
I promised to write you a letter, so
I guess I will do it right now, before
I forget it again. I just got through
drilling, and say, I am sure there on
the "rifle stuff" we just drew them
day before yesterday, though. This
is sure a peach of a place. I wish
you were here to go to Frisco with
me. We would go to every show in
town. I was over last night and on
my way over I rnn onto Frank Sides
for the first time. We have all been
wondering where he was, as we
hadn't seen him since we left Fort
Logan. They assigned him to a
company about two miles from us.
The rest of us all got Into the same
company except Isaac oooley and
Melford Lothrop, but the sergeant
said they could transfer later. We
see them every day, anyway.
I hear you have some ball team.
Write and tell me all about it. I
hear that George Biermann is pitch
ing for you fellows.
We had fish for dinner, and that
made me think of olden times. You
want to catch some for me this sum
mer, and don't let Van catch them
all. Tell Van to write; if I write to
all first I might leave someone out,
and I don't want to do that.
You folks had ought to chase that
little Ford of yours out here this
summer. Ask Mildred if she has
had any good candy since that last
Sunday, and tell Aunt Mattie "hello"
for me and everybody else, too.
Chester Antrim, Ed Hanson and
Melford Lothrop are out playing
catch. I was out, but my left arm
is so sore that it hurts to throw with
my right one. My vaccination is
just beginning to work. They sure
do stick a fellow full of holes. First
they vaccinate you, then they take
your blood test, and three inocula
tions. Well, I guess 1 will have to stop
for it's almost time for retreat, and
besides I don't know of much else
to say, so goodbye Your friend,
Gerald C. Hall.
P. S Tell Dowey to write.' The
rest of the fellows said to tell you
hello for them.
From Wilfred Kinkel to his moth
er, Mrs. Paul Kinkel:
Ft. Winfield Scott, Cal., Apr. 27, '17
Dear Mother: J. received your let
ter and was glad to get it. We are
not in Ft. Logan, but are now in Ft.
Winfield Scott, Cal. It is just three
miles out of San Francisco. We can
see the town from here and it is
sure a pretty place. It smells just
nr nm i, irtiJii! iirtrriJuiMtr
like someone had spilled a lot of
perfume all over. It is just like
home here. It has Ft. Logan beat
a lot. We got in here last Sunday,
and we sure had a long ride. We
came by way of the Mexican border.
The soldiers that were here when
we came said that we were the best
bunch of boys that ever came here,
and they said they were sure proud
of us; and I believe it, too. They
don't have us do hardly any work
here.,
When we were in Ft. Logan we
were not all together, but we are,
here, with the exception of Melford
Lothrop, and the officer said he
would be transferred as soon as an
other bunch came in.
I will tell you what they gave us:
There were three uniforms, two
pairs of shoes?, one hat, nine pairs of
sox, six pairs of white gloves and
one pair of leather gloves, five suits
of underclothes, a trunk and wall
locker, one tent, two woolen blank
ets, one rain coat, four sheets, two
pillow cases, one kit, one clothes
bag and a lot more that I can not
think of Oh yes, and one gun.
All the boys said to tell you hello.
Well, I must close for this time, and
don't forget that we are all well and
happy.
From your loving son.
Wilfred Kinkel.
From Eddie Ansnes to his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Eric Ansnes.
Ft. Winfield Scott. Cal.. Anr 23. ' 1 7
Dear Mother, Father and Biutl.us:
I'll bet you thought I forgot all
about you, but I havn't. We got
here yesterday morning, and were
pretty tired. At Ft. Logan they
drilled us from morning till night.
They never gave us time to eat, but
here we got ice cream and cake for
dinner yesterday, and had pie for
dinner today. They gave us some
suits just before we left Ft. Logan,
and they were like Emil's scout suit.
They didn't give us any shoes or any
shirt. We get three more suits
sometime this week one blue and
two other suits. Our underwear is
made of linen. We got an overcoat,
a tent and a rifle.
They started to divide us up into
different companies when we got
here, and they called off the name
"Ansnes," and I asked which one,
and he said "Eddie R.," then he ask
ed if I had a brother and if we want
ed to be together, and I said ves.
Just then Gerald Hall told him that
there were eight of us, and that we
wanted to stay together, and he said
we could. Melford had already
gone to a different company and so
had Isaac, but he said they would
get them over with us.
We sure do have a great time.
There are about fifty .men in the
same company with us and they are
all good fellows. There is one room
that has two pool tables, a big book
case and a victrola.
Harold and Wilfred Kinkel went
to Frisco tonight, it is just about
half a mile from the fort. We had
to go about five miles on the water
in a ferryboat when we arrived
here.
Well, how is everything at home?
Is Emil still going to school? Have
you sold the cows yet? If you have
not, for your sake sell them. Has
papa talked about moving any
more? Did you get any of those
pictures they have for sale at the
postoflice? I am going to have my
picture taken soon. I hope you are
not feeling the same as you did when
we left. Have you heard from
Uncle Emil? I think we will be
home in about six months. Well, I
must close, with lots of love, from
your son,
Eddie R. Ansnes.
From Harold Antrim to his par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Antrim.

From Dakota City Boys
Now Stationed at
Ft. Winfield Scott, Cal.
read Cheater's letter to you, so I
will try to leave out what he said.
I did not like Colorado very well,
but I got along there allright, so I
am sure we will get along here. We
had two days' drilling in Colorado
then we left for here. We left
Thursday night at 7:20 o'clock and
(got in San Francisco at 9 o'clock
Colorado into New Mexico, then X ,
, through Arizona and into Califor- S
nia. We saw everything that was
to ue seen, only when we were
asleep. We had our first ride in a
ferryboat, and fed hard lack to the
sea gulls. We are about three miles
from Frisco, but we can see one side
of the town and a whole lot of the
bay. The ships are sailing all the
time. We saw an airship today, and
I asked a man where it was from
and he said it was just a little ways
from here and belonged to some
school, and that we would see it
about every day.
The country is sure great around
here. The fort at Colorado seemed
like a den, but this seems like a pal
ace. Everything just as sleek and
green as can be. The place is kept
in blue grass and flowers and all
mowed down so it is very pretty.
The inside of the place is kept like a
palace. The first meal we had here
consisted of potatoes and gravy,
bread, butter, corn, meat, new on
ions and lettuce, and ice cream and
cake. r, T e-iTcr. ...-p ,.'! , , t .,;

I think we will get along fine here
and the time will go fast. Write -.-and
tell us how everything is, and
how you are. Tell every body hello
for us. I was sorry that I did not
get to shake hands with the people
that were there to see us off. I
could write a lot more but am get
ting tired, so will quit. Write soon
and let us know how you are all get

From your son,

From Gerald Hall to his sister,
Miss Frana Hall.
Ft. Winfield Scott, Cal., Apr 25, '17
Dear Sister: I received your
letter about an hour ago and was
more than glad to hear from you.
I left Ft. Logan Thursday evening
and got here Sunday about noon.
This is sure an ideal place. I wish
you were here we would go to Fris
co to a show. Even to take -a walk
here is as good as going to a show
there.
I took some pictures from the
train window, but havn't had them
developed yet, and don't know if
they will be any good or not.
Would certainly like to see the pic
tures Anna Evans took of us.
We boys all got together except
Melford and Isaac. We would have
all got together if I had spoken just
a little sopner, but I was like the
rest, waiting for some one else to do
the talking, but when I saw he was
splitting us up I got up courage
enough to speak, but it was too late,
for Isaac and Melford had been as
signed to another company. They
can transfer later, though.
You can tell mama and papa that
this letter is for them also, but I
suppose they realize that any way.
If I wrote to everyone I would like
to I wouldn't have time for anything
else. Your brother,
Gerald C. Hall.
