The letter quoted below was writ
ten to Governor Rye by the postmis
tress of Ozone, Tennessee, and his
reply follows.
Ozone, Tenn, April rs, 1917.
Gov. Rye, Nashville, Tenn.-Dear
Governor: l read so much about
boys going to serve their country
that l wonder if those who never had
the trial ever realize what it is to
give up their dear boys? l don't be-
lieve any one feels the separation as
much as a widowed mother does
Although / gave up my two boys,
my only help, with smile, yet my
pillow was wet with. tears many a
night while l was trying to make the
decision. However, / felt it was for
their good and the country's good.
One was not old enough, but l
gladly signed his papers and I am
glad l let them go when | did, for
they have had year of good train
ing in the coast artillery.
/ certainly feel proud of both. The
oldest is now first class gunner and
is stationed at Fort Dade, Florida.
The other is in the hospital corps at
Fort Washington, Md. They write
happiest boys in the world.
Now, Gov. Rye, ] am asking ia
vor, thinking perhaps there is some
way to help me out. l am the post
master in our little town and my one
desire is a United States flag for my
building. However, / have not the
means to buy one with the high cost
of. living, and taxes and interest l

perhaps there might be some second
hand flags in Nashville which
might be able to buy and you could
tell me what to do.
| have my little boy, years old,
with me, but when he is old enough
he says he will be ready to enlist and
I am glad he is willing to serve his
country. may not be doing as
much as some others, but ! am doing
the best | can. Yours for our coun-
try. MRS. ADDlE +. NILES.
Nashville, Tenn, April %.
Mrs Addie E. Niles, Ozone. Tenn.
Dear Madam: l am just in receipt

sire a flag for the post Office build
ing. am sending you by this mail

with my compliments and best wish
es. congratulate you upon the
spirit of patriotism manifested, not

your letter, but in the more substan

With travelling cities such as the
sersFloto circus which Will visit

sees nothing. These are attaches who
take no part in the performance but
devote themselves to tasks that make
it possible for the circus to move,
move Among them are trainmen. ear
porters. cooks, walters and BARRIERS
The routine Of their work is such
that they seldom see the performance,
and the volume OF their tasks is so
great that they seldom leave their re-
spective posts. TO keep three circus
trains in repair, to feed three meals a
day to a hungry army. to serve these
meals, and to keep hundreds of men
prosentable to the public is no easy
task. This is the class Of work per
formed by the unseen army
While the cooks and walters arc
busy preparing meals of the day the
car porters are busy keeping the sleep
ing cars in ship shape About the only
thing common to the Broadway hote
that is not common to the circus is
the telephone However. its need in
the circus business has not vet been
demonstrated Every employe with
the circus knows his duties and hts
place The routine followed during
that day is such that any employe is
always within beck and call Of the
management
While the public sees an the grand
and glorious about the circus it little
realizes that the pleasure OF seeing
ita show is largely dependent upon
she concerted efforts OF the hidden

MARY GARDEN GETS NEW
THRILL AT HOBO COLLEGE

Mary Garden did more for the In
ternationaI Hobo College by her ap-
pearance there last night than mere
" charm her "down-and-out" au-
dience by the beauty of her voice.
She revealed to Chicago the exis-
tence of this institution, with its
score of members looking clear-eyed
in the direction of light and freedom.
Before Mary Garden, with her
democratic spirit, consented to lift
her voice for the edification of the
"down-and-outs," the press Of Chi
cago had ignored the brave fight be-
ing waged by the Hobo College, led
by Mike Walsh and Rev. Irwin st.
John Tucker.
But Mary Garden did it. She
opened the eyes of the editors of the
Chicago newspapers and the people
of Chicago to the band of fighters
located, in a tumble-doWn building,
owned by Mayor Thompson, at
Washington blvd. and Sangamon st.
The editors sent reporters over there
last night to cover Mary Garden and
the reporters found out things about
the college, which is the only place
in the city that "down-and-Outs,"
migratory workers and others of
their kind might go and get refuge
without running the red-tape gaunt-
let of professional charity.
It is very probable that Mary
Garden in all her turbulent career
that eventually led her to the place
of Americas greatest opera star
never had such an experience as, she
had last night. And Mary seemed
to enjoy it. To her it was a riot of
fun. 100
The applause that she got was of
the electrical type that sweeps the
brain with the dizzy feeling of youth
full emotion. And Mary, used to the
high-domed auditoriUms of the OPP
era houses, sang on and on, SEEM
