here with his aunt, Mrs. Hattie Fer

h France, Saturday. May. 4, 1918.
Dear aunt Maggie: ....ss. !.
I know all of. you will be surprised
to receive a letter from me, but I

many good times had while was
at Denison and they are certainly
pleasant memories. 5E
Had a very fine trip coming across
and have been over here for two
months. We are billeted in the homes
of the French people and are we'll fed
by our government, SO feel contented.
France is certainly very pretty
place although the people here are
far behind the times compared to US.
The weather is sure beautiful just
now and I am enjoying the best Of
health.
We are many miles from home, but
tho NAV oplr Government handles the
situation makes it seem different. We
have the daily. editions of the New
York Herald, Chicago Tribune and
twl weekly American papers, which
are all published at Paris. They even
20 as far as to issue us fresh beef
and bread each day with our rations.
There are many interesting things
I would like to tell about, regarding
where we are and what we are doing
but It is prohibited. Just remember
that when you read about the 32nd
division am with them.
Even though / am not much on writ
ing letters, would like to hear from
you. If you do not feel like writing,
have Bernard or Grace do 1t.
Kindly give any OF the Denison
people whom I know, my best regards

SUGGESTS IDEA
FOR new STORE
Old Plan for Exchanging Thrift
Stamps Would Prove Valua-
BILE in City.
HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS MADE
Says System Could Be In Charge of
Either Red Cross. Y. w. c. 4.
or NOman's Club.
BY OLOF Z. CERVIN.

A clever use of an old idea has
lately been revived as a war meas
ure and has proven of value in
many ways.
A thrift exchange is established
in some vacant store, where used
or new things are sold for cash at
a low price The supplies are eth
er donated or paid for by thrift
stamps only. Anyone may contrib
ute-men, women and children,
rich and poor, soulless corporations
and thoughtful companies.
In this way hundreds of dollars
of thrift stamps are absorbed. La
Dor is saved from manufacturing
articles and turned to making mu-
nitions, articles can be bought at
lower prices, often things can be
bought in a thrift exchange that
the market no longer affords, ow-
ing to a cessation of imports or
even of home manufacture; and,
lastly, many persons will clear out
of their houses many things they
no longer need, finding them a good
radiance.
Such work could best be under
taken by the Red Cross, the Y. w.
c. A or the Woman's club. In
these days of depleted man power
it is peculiarly adapted to the in
genuity of women. Perhaps a sep
arate organization would be best,
devoting the proceeds to some war
activity
Such an exchange, if conducted
according to business practices,
would soon prove popular and a
small store would not do. 1t would
indeed become an expurgated edi-
ton of the second hand store, a
glorifed rummage sale, conducted
for patriotic purposes.
A list of articles wanted could
be posted on a bulletin in the store
as people call for things, and pub
l;shed in the newspapers from time
to time.
Now who is there to take up the
idea and carry it through?
All the news all the time-The
