To the Editor,
South Bend New j-Times.
Sir: / am safe in saying that few
letters arrive in South Bend from
the soldier boys in France but what
mention is made of the good they
have received from the salvation
Army workers who have followed
the boys in the trenches and served
them in every way possible.
1 think that one of the most
pleasurable events on their arrival
home after greeting their parents
and relatives would be for them TO
see that the inhabitants of South
Bend. in appreciation of their service
rendered, had erected a permanent
salvation Army building for the
good works continuance in a more
local efficient manner than al pres
ent.
a structure could be made to an
swer three purposes, Viz: A standing
der boys, recognition of the work
of those they write so much about
TO their parents, and a serviceab BILE
structure whereby the local cOmmu-
nifty could De more fully served.
The building could be made
adaptable for place of worship ofl-
GERS quarters. second hand store
+ for aiding the striving needy, and
rooms for men ready on the prem
/ Uses to serve help to any part of the
city as the phone calls for this class
|of helpers have been numerous

"over the top" for democracy, and

proposition the serviceable building
could soon become an accomplished
fact. The need is great Vho viii

Of larger things isn't enough. We
must step boldly forward. Annual
business meetings are for the pur-
pose OF laying the plans. We need
our plans carefully laid, and we need

OUR PUBLIC LIBRARY

The annual report of our local Ii
| brarian, Miss Bercaw, covering the
year just gone, reveals an increasing
devotion to books in this community.
This is the far the best, most hopeful
sign of a spreading desire for current
information, practical knowledge, and
the information that can be had from
books. 1t is but the best evidence
that our everyday education is just
bit better than it was last year, for
the young people and the children.
There is not an intuition in Cor
ale with greater, more elevated
purpose than the library. There is
not an agency within cur reach that
so nearly serves everybody who comes
hungering for an intellectual touch
of the great thinkers of the world.
The books are there for US and in
them The best things the great men Of

OUR CREDIT GAINS

Few people other than the closely

munity know that The past two years
have worked wonderful change in
the general credit business OF the com.
munty 1t is a matter of great salts
faction that so many people put even
their grocery accounts on a weekly
basis. This enables the grocer to dis
count his bills and sell cheaper be
cause he buys cheaper. There is a
considerable increase in the cash bust
ness and many farmer who was alb
lender or the merchant who charged
an extra interest on goods for furnish
ing them for the year, is now far re
moved from that kind of management
Our business community enjoys
more Of the change than ordinarily
comes in so short time. Our mer
chants have found that they can Go
more business on less capital, that
they lose less money on accounts, for
they are not so large.
1t has come nearly to- the poin
where every man takes care Of his

nearer will the business man come
