Mrs. M. S. Briggs,
Plattsmouth, Nebr.,
Dear Friend :-
Sunday morning. I am writing
some this morning, and will drop you
a lew lines. There is not inucii 10
write about from here probably that
will interest you. I am owing you
a letter, and have many to write
The Plattsmouth boys who are here
and all fine, and feeling dandy.
We can eat three times per day,
with a hearty appetite, as we have
much outdoor exercise, and this is
a fine looking country, were it not
so torn up with the war which de
vastates it, and can sleep at nights,
when there is not too much noise,
but the noise seems necessary and
a portion of the struggle. We are
just back from the front, a few days
since, this making our fifth time to
serve there, but with very small loss
es. We are now at a rest camp in a
big timber, it is sure a very pretty
place.
Our greatest friends in the trench
es, are the rats which grow to the
size of an ordinary cat. If you are
easy with them they will come up
and beg a portion of your stew.
There are a few cooties, as well but
a good dose of boiling water puts
the 'kibash' to them (nuff said).
Well about France, it is nothing
like we expected, the buildings are of
stone, and many of the hundreds and
thousands years old. and they look
it too. There is only one thing
which France beats the United States
and that is roads, they are all pav
ed with crushed rock, over the whole
country and are kept in good repair.
and make excellent roads over which
to travel. In all other ways the
United States are ahead of this or
any other country in the world. The
French sure are fine people, and will
do any thing for the American sold
ier. Well I will ring off now. Answer
soon, and we would like a roll of
Plattsmouth Journals once in a
while if it is not asking too much.
Thanks in advance, as ever,

Many weeds are propagated only
by seeds. Weed seeds are produced
in large numbers along roadsides,
fence rows, and ditch banks, in va
cant fields, and in waste places, and
the seeds are scattered by the wind,
water, birds and other agents. By
cutting the weeds before the seeds
are sufficiently matured to germinate
an enormous amount of trouble and
labor and loss could be avoided; but
only the most progressive farmers do
