About Two Tons.
Joseph Conrath makes and repairs
violins and other musical instruments,
relates the Indianapolis News. The
government had him on its list as a
manufacturer aud sent him one of its
formal inquiries as to how much coal
he uses annually. In the proper place
he wrote down "About two tons." That
is really more than he uses, but he dis
liked to put down the exact truth. His
manufacturing is done by hand and
though he hns to heat bis two rooms
in a Virginia avenue business block,
the floors, ceilings and walls absorb so
much heat from rooms below, above
and back of him that his fuel cost is
nominal.

EVERYTHING IS
HIGH IN PARIS
Judd. Matthews recently; received
a letter from his brother, Pte. E.
Matthews, written February 6th
from Somewhere in France. It says
in part:
"Things are about the same &S
usual over here, having fairly good
weather so we can't kick. We
haven't had any rain for over ten
days, which is an exceptional thing.
"I suppose you kuow Jimmi^ Sal
vator; he is over here in. *he
54 X met him the other day
on the roatf while on a route march.
So i' you see his father you can
tell him that I saw him and he
looks as though he had been treat
ed He say« Fred ia over in
England gassed, but getting along
fin* now.
"i guess you have heard already
ihat I received the Chrismtas gift
from tb ■> boys of the town and I
appreciate it very much as it cer
tainly struck me in the right time.
"I guess things up there are pret
ty s'-eep since I left. I know they
are ia both England and France.
You couldn't get anything to eat
in Paris under three francs which
is equpl to 60 cents in. our money,
and then you wouldn't get any
thing for that; so you can im
agine bow things are over here. I
have been back from Paris for
about two months, have a Blighty
l?ave coming to me the first of
March, but I don't see how I am
going to make out as I have drawn
my balance and have only a few
dollars to go oai leave on, so it
looks mizzling to know how I am
go.;i • to raise the necessary dough.'
