THfERRY BATTLE, TELLS HIS STORY

"Afl right"

No, SIR

Yes, sir"
He laughed and went on to the
other men.
The third day / was there he ask
ed the same questions and | gave the
same answers. Then he didn't laugh
any more. His face became very
serious and he said:
Il guess my boy I'll have to tell
you pow. You haven't got any toes.
We had to cut your leg OF above the
knee to save FOUR life. You've been
very sick. You lost so much blood
We had to transfuse some into you
land we were afraid to tell you the
truth for fear the shock would be too
great"
ITS all right. doctor. It's no use
to worry. It's done. It's happened
L p 1 am lucky to come out the
way l did"
one of my nurses said she wrote
back to her folks at home saying our
American boys r SO splendid that
even when they lose a leg they say
TO the doctors they are not much
hurt.
And, say, 1 want to hand 1t to the
army hospitals. ] had nurses around
me all the time. You didn't have to
ring any bells and wait a long time.
They were right there, Annie on the
spot: Il attend to you and the doctors
were never far away. All the fellows
said the same thing. They agreed
we got wonderful attention.
And when 1 was lying there. you
know what worried me2
Not the future. I'll get a job all
right.
Not my folks back home. My dad
wrote: 1T doesn't make any differ
ence about the loss Of your leg. We
viii be ever so glad to have our boy
back after serving his country"
Not my best girl-she's blonde and
blue-eyed and that's h reason I
didn't pariey-vouz with those black
haired. black-eyed French girls. No,
my girl said she was glad I was COM
ing home.
What worried me is that helped
start this scrap on the Marine with
the old kaiser and now 1 can't be in
at the finish.
And that is what is worrying every
fellow you talk to here In the hospf-
tai. Every one OF them would have
liked to get a few more Germans and
be there when the end came.

LIBERAL BUSINESS POLICY

A man visiting in large city took his family one
night to music hail. He Informed that general adj
mission to the balconies where seats We're reserved
was SO cents To get reserved seats he would have buy
floor seats at 81. He asked there would probably be
room enough for him if he bought so cent seats.
Cant say" grufly replied the ticket seller. "You
take your chances" So rather than the risk of hav
ing to stand up the bought 81 seats Aferward he
felt sore to note that the balconies not half full and
so cent seats would have been perfectly good The ticket
seller knew the situation. But he felt better to grab
the additional 80 cents seat rather than help the pur
chaser get in on the most favorable terms.
That principle all through business Some men
will grab the immediate dollar without regard to the in
erest of the purchaser Others look at the sale from the
purchasers point of view They will sacrifice their own
immediate interest," to that the purchaser makes
deal that will please him and be economical for him
That is the way to make business friends that stsk
This principle applies to home trade situation
When you buy goods in the stores of Eko you buy of
sellers who do not depend transient trade here today
and gone tomorrow. They depend on making permanent
friends, consequently they will help you make the pur
chase most economical and best for you.
Also another characteristic of liberal business policy
is willingness to ADVERTISE and tell the public about the
goods When store gives out advance information il
the public press about its goods it helps the public make
intelligent purchases and get what needed at the loves
going rates.
