A TRIBUTE TO THE
HOME MERCHANT

The following reprinted in the Ore
gon Voter, first made its appearance in
publication called 1.-The Opportunity
Sheet, issued monthly by Fleischner,
Mayer & Co., of Portland.
He is the chap who gives you credit
when you are financially broke, and
carries your account until you are able
to pay.
He is the chap who gives you back
your money, or makes exchange, when
you are not satisfied with what you
have bought.
He is the chap who stands behind his
guaranty and makes restoration of all
losses that you may sustain on the
goods you buy.
He is the chap who meets you at the
door with handshake, and let's you
out with message to the kids and
real come-again goodbye.
He is the chap who greets you on the
street every day in the year and takes
neighborly interest in your family
and your affairs.
He is the chap whose clerks and
bookkeepers and other employees live in
your town and spend their money with
you and with other home town. folk.
He is the chap who pays heavy taxes
to help support your town schools and
build your streets, and maintain your
fire departments, and parks, and light
ing and water service.
He is the chap who helps support
your cities, churches and hospitals and
charity organizations and your lodges
and commercial clubs, and who talks
for our town, and boosts for our town
ever day in the year. He is the chap
who visits you when you are sick, sends
flowers to your family when you die,
and follows your body out among the
trees and tombs, as far as human feet
may tread with the dead.
He is the Home Merchant - YOUR
neighbor-your friend-your helper in
time of need.
Don't you think you ought to trade
with him, and be his friend and helper
in HIS time of need?
Don't you know that every dollar
that you send out of your town for
merchandise is sent to strangers-to
men who have never spent dollar in
your town?
You don't save much, frequently
nothing, when you send your money
out of town, and don't you know that
the growth and prosperity of your town
depends very largely upon the success
and prosperity of the home mechants?
Out-of-town people Judge our city by
the appearance Of our stores and the
degree of enterprise shown by our mer-
chants, and our home merchants can
not succeed unless home folks give
them loyal support.

RED CROSS TO Aid
MEN FROM TRENCHES

Canteens and rest stations for the
French and American troops will be
established at once in France by the
American Red Cross.
The War Council has been trying TO
find out Just what the Red Cross could
do most effectively to hearten the
French army and to give to French SOL
diers a token of the fact that America
is with her ally with all her power.
The French army officers have told the
Red Cross that canteens and rest sta.
tions would do more for the immediate
welfare and contentment of the SOL
diers than anything else that could be
done. Therefore, the problem is going
to be met thoroughly and at once.
The poilus come out of the trenches,
to go home on leave, mud-stained, YER
min covered, reeking with infection.
They are marched TO the nearest rail-
road in that condition, where, perhaps,
they find a little station with scanty
accommodations for a dozen passen-
gers. The Red Cross is going to put
shower baths there, and laundries and
mending and disinfecting rooms, which
will remove the menace of dirt and dis
ease which these men carry to their
homes. Then there will be rest rooms
where they can read and write and play
games, to make the transition to civil
ian life easier, and small stores where
they can buy timed delicacies, tobacco
and odds and ends. Similar canteens
will be opened at the railroad functions
where the men must wait en- route. At
some of them now these men, still
trench stained, have to lie on the station
platforms all night. There will be
dormitories at such places, and lunch
rooms at all of them where hot meals
can be bought at price just above
cost.
Nearly $4,000 soldiers are passing
through eleven of these stations every
day. They will have a convincing
