HOW NEW YORK CITY
 CARES FOR YOUR BOY
Jerry Hegarty, From Butte, Mont, Says the War Camp Commu-
 nity Service Treats the Uni-
 formed Men Just Right"

Jerry Hegarty, for whom star has been placed in the Butte (Mont.) Miners service flag-he was a former employee of that newspaper-wrote from New York city to friend as fol- lows:
 q am a booster for New York. They treat uniformed men just right, do so much for them. In fact, we could not take in one-tenth of what was free to us.
 "The War Camp Community Service is the big thing in New York. We slept in a hotel in the heart of the city, with bath, for 25 cents Satur- day night, breakfast for 10 cents, or 30 cents for the best, including ham and eggs At 9 a. m. the street in front was lined up at both sides with automobiles, some busses, and we took seats. no crOwding, and started out to see the city. Each of us had guide hook with the important places shown, Each car had plenty of cigarettes of the best kind, cigars, and one of the ears had beautiful young girl, who delighted in showing the boys the im- pOrtant places. The car was hers, and her chauffeur was driving. l cannot start to epumerate the different sights, hut we saw all of Fifth Avenue, Riv- erside Drive Central Park. W0OlWOrth Building, where we went to the top, 5S stories, and took view of the city saw the TOmbs, Bridge of Signs, the East Side, BOwery, Chinatown and lots and lots of other important places.
 MQp Riverside Drive we got off ana had pur pictures taken and visited Grants Tomb. The visit to the. tomb, which is a $65O,OOO one, was very i'm presstve, as everyone walked in on their toes, hats off, and If they srOke it was only in a whisper. No orders to be quiet, but it reminded me of some one just passed AWAY, The tAmb seems 10 be built in the prettiest part of New York. overlooking the Hudson. with PaIisade Park on the other side of the river. The park Is on hillside and at night Is very nicely Illuminated.
 At 12 80 p. III. we got back to head quarters again, with numerous invita- tiOns to dinner, and 1t kept Us z Iess- ing where to go, as we had to be back for inc matinee We finally had q good chicken dinner, with lots of ice cream and cake and cigars, near the theater district, given hy Catholic Wn, mans Club.
 At ? D. m. we went to the Casino theater, where the talent of New York theaters entertained us for about three hours. There were several other the atprs we had tickets ta fpF the night performance, but we had to be hack in camp, so couldn't go. I am enclosing some of the tickets
 By the way, we had about 10 sail ors from San Diego with us at the Casino, and they were called on the stage and cheered, then cheers for the great victories on the other side. PheA after the show we went in Il w. c. c. s. unit and were served with cake and grape juice by leading actresses-sOme time. believe mse, with cabaret galore"

without harm, for, as a nation, we
are today eating and wasting much
more food than we need.
If we are selfish or even careless,
we are disloyal, we are the enemy
at home. Now is the hour of our
testing. Let us make it the hour of
our victory; victory over ourselves;
victory over the Enemy of Freedom.
The whole great problem of win
ming the war rests primarily on one
thing; the loyalty and sacrifice of
the American people in the matter
of. food. It is not government re-
sponsibility it is a responsibility of
each individual. Each pound of food
saved by each American citizen is
a pound given to the support of our
army, the Allies and the friendly
neutrals. Each pound wasted or
eaten unnecessarily is a pound with
held from them. 1t is a direct per-
sonal obligation on the part of each
of us to some one in Europe whom
we are bound to help.

her left foot first would portend very
grave disaster.
Then he has to unveil her for the
crowning. The unveiling must be
done with some silver object-usu-
ally the hilt Of a dagger. Finally, he
has to steal two objects of domestic
use whilst the guests are enjoying
themselves, this with the idea of ap-
peasing Fate, who does not like peo-
pie to enjoy too much good fortune,
but will be satisfied by some mater
ial loss in the midst of joy. The
stolen objects are afterwards re-
stored.--Ex.

WHEN CREEK WEDS GREEK.

There are many curious customs
connected with Greek weddings. II
it is a fashionable marriage it is not
nowadays celebrated in a church,
but in the house, one of the rooms
of which has been fitted up as a cha
pei for the time being.
At the conclusion of the ceremony
the priest and the happy couple JOIN
hands and walk-sometimes they ac-
tually dance round the altar, whilst
the guests pelt them with sweetmeats
But the most important part OF the
service is the crowning of the bride
and bridegroom with wreaths OF
orange blossoms. :
In Sparta, when the bride comes
home after the wedding the bride
groom's mother hands her at the
door a glass of honey and water. She
drinks some, of it, in order that her
words may be as sweet as honey ana
the rest is poured over the Intel
that the house may be free from
strife.
The best man occupies a very re-
sponsible and by no means always
an enviable position, for If the hus-
band happens to die, it is the duty
to look after the widow and the
children, if any.
The bride is dressed by her
friends, except for her girdle and
her shoes, which it is the duty OF
the best man to put on for her. He
has to walk by her side in the pro-
cession to see that she does not fall
off her mule on her way to the we'd
ding and on their return he has to
make sure that she enters the house

Hence, I have decided to carry

y
my fight to the people themselves.
The people will little note nor long
remember Mr.. Gallery when once
they have taken a survey of the
picture of your humble servant, and
when they see for themselves my
pluperfect and superlative right to
be numbered amongst the greatest
culprits which ever adorned the
walls of Mr.. Rogues Gallery's hall
of fame. So I have put my picture
in this paper along with this article.
Stand for a brief moment in the
presence of that majestic person.
ality, take a sharp look at my
aquiline nose, and my thin COM
pressed under lip. Look upon the
lofty brow running back even be-
yond the crown of my head. Did
Hindenburg ever look grander even
when eating dinner with the Kaiser?
All that the people will want to
know is that the pan-Rogues, like
Mr.. Gallery, are standing between
them and a full enjoyment of the
liberties, rights, and privileges OF
having their likenesses duly posted
in the Hall of Fame and they will
rise up and throw off the rule Of
Gallery, and taking matters into
their own hands, will elect another
keeper Of the hall, who being re-
sponsible to the people who elected
him, and their servant and not
their master, will see that a gen.
tleman's likeness when duly entitl-
ed to the privilege is properly dis
played for the admiration of the
gazing public. That is all ask, I
will be contented with nothing less.
Mr.. Gallery must make his Hall
safe for democracy. ....

TWIN BEDS" COMING SOON.

"Twin Beds," Salisbury Field and
Margaret Mayo's rollicking, jovial
comedy, which Abbeville sees fo,
the first time at the Opera House on
Friday, March 9th, is credited by
the New York and London review
ers as being the best constructed
comedy ever turned out by any
playwright. "Twin Beds" ran fol
one solid year at the Harris Thea
tre, New York, and is now in its
second year in London. A. S. Stern
and Company, the we'll known New
York theatrical firm, made the pro-
duction, which is sufficient guar,
antee of it's excellence.

MAKE YOUR WAR
TAX INCOME RETURNS

"Mr. Salaried Man. Wage Garner,
Farmer, Merchant, Professional
Man, Tradesman and Others:
"At the request of the govern

ton to the imperative necessity for
making your income tax return be-
fore March I.
"Don't think the income tax law
doesn't apply to you. You may be
pretty sure that it does.
"Did your salary, or wages, or in
come amount to $84.33 a month
(that is $1,000 a year or over) dur
ing 1917? If so, and you are not
married, you must make a state
ment of this income to the govern
ment. If you are married, or sup
port family, it will not be neces-
sary for you to make an income
tax return unless it amounted to
s16e.66 a monta (that is, $4,000 a
year or over.)
"You should Immediately see the
internal revenue expert in your
community TASK the postmaster or
your banker where his Office is) and

you what deductions you can make
in figuring up your income."-Re-

Would Overthrow, the Autocratie
Power of Mr.. Rogues' Gallery and
Set Up a Rule of the; Reople.

Dear Cousin, 81 suppose you saw
my letter in The. Press and Banner
addressed to Mr.. Rogues Gallery
about getting my picture in his hall.
Well, Notwithstanding =. my promi-
nence in this section, being one of
the largest furniture dealers on
Main street, in this city, and of the
good recommendations which 1 sent
in from my boy Sun! and Uncle Jim
and several of my customers, he did
not even answer my letter. / wrote
him again thinking that he might
have lost my letter from carrying it
around in his pocket, not trusting
to lay it down anywhere, on ac-
count of my being a little more
prominent than most Of the men in
his hail. but he did not answer that
letter either: So I have concluded,
and some of my friends are Of the
same opinion, that this man Rogues
Gallery is not putting all men who
are entitled to a place in his Hall
of Fame at their right places, but
is trying to keep some good men
down.

u. S. INCREASES
AID TO ALLIES

Washington, Feb. 15.-As a re-
suit of the work of Colonel House in
Europe, the United States will fur
nish "more in men and means than
was expected of us, in far shorter
time than had been the fondest hope
of our own people or the nations as
sociated with US in the war;" Chair
man Flood, of the foreign affairs
committee, told the House this after
non in open debate on the diploma
tic and consular appropriation bill.
Colonel House carried to compile
ton the work begun in this country
by special allied war and diplomatic
missions, Flood said. The discussions
in Europe led to complete under
standing of precisely what the AL
lies needed and exactly what this
country could furnish and how soon.
The japanese mission and the ex-
change of notes between Secretary
Lansing and Vincent 1shil IRE
moved causes of friction and make
quite remote the possibility of trou-
BILE between this country and Japan"
he said. J
The appropriation bill carries an
increase of s3,23O,34O over last
years bill to meet the expenses OF
the State Department. Its total is
s8,2O6,086. The bill carries large
appropriations for relief of Ameri-
can citizens and prisoners of war.
Since the beginning of the war the
cablegrams coming to the State De-
partment have increased over 800
per cent. Chairman Flood said.
