and support OF all especially those
whose loved ones are absent IN far
away camps. l have two dear boys
IN the service Of their beloved country.

welcome to two of our boys. Any who
come will receive a warm and hearty
welcome from Mr.. Barnes, my daugh-
ters and myself. Why don't you sug-
gest through your paper (the one that
nearly always starts all the good ana

ly at Christmas they entertain our sol
diers, sailors and marines. and buy lib
erty bonds with the money they would
otherwise put in useless presents"
