you all. / wish / knew some little
boys and girls over here so that /
mighttalk to them and hold their
hands and l would call them my
boys and girls names and pretend
that l was home.

dream and 1 was so disappointed

ting in our kitchen with mother and
David and all the children, and a
chair which was tilted back against
the wall, slipped and 1 fell gently
and without hurting me to the floor.
And then mother and you and all the
children laughed and laughed, just
like good, naughty folks. And you
came over and took my hand in
yours and lifted me up easily. Isn't
that funny, David? Think of any
boy lifting a big, fat father like me
from the floor with one hand. Then
we laughed some more, and suddenly
remembered it was after 8 o'clock.
I said, Why, children, what are you
doing out of bed at this hour of the
night?' And you said, Why. 1t isn't
often our father goes away TO war
so we thought we ought to stay up
to say goodby.' And then | was so
surprised to learn that 1 hadn't gone
away to war yet that / suddenly
awoke, only to find myself in my
little, lonely barracks and the rasl
was coming down hard outside ana
I was lonesome for my dear family.
"And now, David, old boy, every
one is in bed but me, trying to set
lots of strength and health for the
big fights we will soon be in, so
must do likewise and end this letter
to you. You must always remember
that father came into this great war
for the sake of all little children,
and 1 know that you will, while am
gone. take good care of mother ana
all the children. L can see you grow

how sometimes you and 1 would race
and you were getting so you could
run pretty fast. for you were getting
to be big boy?
And then we'd all go down to see

proper recognition.
This city has much that is well
worth advertising. The twenty
posterettes will carry such adVertis-
ing to thousands upon thousands of
places that cannot be reached
through ordinary advertising chan
els. Those who use the beautifully
designed and Varicolored stamps
will be doing something we'll worth
while, not only for themselves, but
also for their home city, which is
sadly in need of advertising in dis
tant fields.
Posterettes are so designed that
they will ornament any letter or
package to which they are affixed.
Even private correspondents who
love their home city may use them
without doing violence to the con-

The public will be given a chance
to boost Harrisburg and it is to be

likely that the county chairmen will
he the same.
Mr.. Mccormick said that the

fore. and Victor Lecoq, Sd, bond
salesman, will haye charge of the
headquarters.
