FROM RAY K. CRAIL
Camp Kearney, Calif.,
. Sept. 28, 1918.
Mrs. W. L. Crail,
McCrory, Ark.
My Dear Mother:
Received your letter of last
Monday and will r it as
this afternoon we are on our
“our own”. I have not gone to
San Diego yet but one of the
boys from my battery went and
he saw Wade Jeffries but did
not tell him I was here as he is
in the Naval Training Station
in Baiboa Park which is in the
heart of the city and we are
IT miles from the city.
Yes, the artillery uses horses
and they are all big ones and
as wild as can be, the least one
will not weigh less than 1500 |
pounds and there are several;
which have not benn ridden
' et, but I am not getting on a
horse for no one and so far I
have managed to get out of
riding since coming here..
; es> I’m still a “wind jammer”
arn pretty good at itnow. Say
before I forget it, tell Raney:
address for I don’t want
to miss a copy of the News.
* am certainly glad to know
that George arrived safely j
°ver seas and would like to be!
^ hh him and that wont be
vfy I think, but I am
a raid when we leave the
s ates that we’ll go to Siberia.
1 received the papers you
sent me and when I had fin
ished reading them I went up
the Battery street yelling
“Arkansas Gazette” and you
should have seen the Arkan
sas boys coming for them as
soon as one finishes they are
passed from one to another
until there is not much reading
matter on them when it is all
done.
I have solved your puzzle
and will send it back to you.
It is an elephant. I have not
seen much since coming here
so can not tell you much as
yet, though the climate here is
entirely different than that a?
Douglass. The place I mailed
your letter (Yuma, Arizona)
it was 127 in the shade when
we passed through, and here
we have a cooler day and at
night we get pretty chilly.
Well, it is nearing time for
guard-mount and I must close
for this time as all buglers
in the regiment (12 in number)
have to blow 5 marches for the
cto vvc nave ixu uaiiu III
our regiment for when the
308th. arrived it was made in
to two regiments the 65th and
66th and the 65th got the band.
A battery consists of 207 men
but at present we have only
75 men in a battery but there
are 5j000 recruits here awaiting
to be assigned to the different
regiments and batteries and
we will get 125 of them. It is
time for me to go. Will write
more next time so Bye-Bye.
With love, Your Son,
RAY K. CRAIL.
Battery C, 66th Field Artil

Took Out Dreadful Soreness.
When the kidneys are weak
ened and fail to throw impur
ities out of the blood, the
poison remains in the system
and backache, soreness and
rheumatic pains develop.
Mrs. David Henry, 65 S.
Lincoln Ave., Washington, N.
J., writes: “Foley Kidnhy Pills
took the dreadful soreness out
of my limbs and I walk good.”

NOT FEED IT SLOPPY, but
mix it with ground feed and
moisten with just enough
water to make a crumbly mass.
Then each hog gets a bene
ficial dose. See full direc
