THE MAILBAG

Dear Minnie:
Your letter was very welcome. I see that you are preparing for Christmas. Well, we are too. Last night three or four of us boys went out looking for a Christmas tree. Gosh, but they are scarce. We tramped miles and saw every tree there was but there was only one that was any use and that was on the island of an old chap called Hogarth and he was keeping a close eye on it. While a couple of lads went to his house and chatted with him, the rest of us cut down the tree and brought it home. It sure is a dandy, about seven feet high and we have already got some of the decorations on it. I hear that the officers are looking for one .Won’t they be mad when they find out that we have the only one for miles around? Well, it is time to go to work again, only we don’t work too hard.
Your loving hubby,
Dave
