MOTHER RECEIVES
LETTER FROM SON
Eugene Vroman. Who is a Sailor in
TJ. S. Navy Writes from New
York Citj Few Days Ago
Fiom ' ues.tay's Daily.
Mrs. L. K. Vroman of this city is
in receipt of a letter written by her
son. Eugene Vroman, who is in the
I'nited States navy. The letter was
written a few days ago from New
York City, while the ship was there
to take on a coal supply, and then
leave again for Brest, France.
Brooklyn. N. Y., Feb. 27.
Dear Mother:
Just a few lines to let you know
where I am. Well I left Boston on
last Sunday and I tell you that is
some town, with an excellent har
bor. Arrived here last Tuesday. I
had thought I would get a furlough,
but am out of luck on that score, as
we were ordered to coal the ship at
once, in order that we may start
again on a return trip. We will first
go to Cuba, and from there to the
Azores Islands and from there" to
Brest, France. We expect to be away
about four months, winding up on
the coast of England, from where we
will leave for home waters. We have
some stuff for Belgium and many
other places along" the way. One
thing that is pretty gfjod for a sailor
now is that he can go to sleep with
out having to be in constant fear of
submarines.
With the best of wishes for you
11. I will close for this time. From
your son.
EUGENE VROMAN.

minor loss. The Stock is intact in
every particular, all reports to the

A NEW AUTO HEARSE
JOHN P. SATTLER MAKES PUR
CHASE OF AN AUTO EURIAL
CAR, WHICH MEETS
ALL WANTS.
from Saturday's 1 all
Funeral director John P. Sattler
is displaying consideabrlo enter
prise in the matter cf furnishing
the patrons of his business the best
which can be offered in service, in
his niakng purchase of an auto
beaie for use at funeral. The
auto is what is known as the S. & S.
or the Savers and Scovllle Co.. and
is similar to those in use in Omaha.
The matter of the ownership cf
one of the autos for th!s city hm
been up for discussion between the
two funereal directors of this city,
and as there seems no use for two,
it was concluded that should one
make the purchase, the other would
use same in connection, and thus
save the investment in more than
one. and make it better for both.
This they have done and Mr.
Streight will use the new hearse as
well as Mr. Sattler.
If this co-operative spirit could
be extended to other lines of busi
ness it would be a great benefit to
all.
