SILENT TRIBUTE PAID
SOLDIERS AT HOBOKEN
Many Men from Western States Ar
rive on r. II. Mallory.

Hoboken. Dec. 20.-Silence greeted
the $50 soldiers who landed here today
from the transport r. H. Mallory and
marched through crowded streets to
en- train for Camp Merrill for demo-
biliZation.
1t was such a silence as sometimes
follows a great scene in a theater-
when an audience is impressed too
deeply for noisy demonstration-and
was a greater tribute to the veterans
than any cheering could have been.
The soldiers, the first field troops re-
turning as company units, were fol-
lowed to the train by the crowd, which
there found its voice and there recol-
lected that its pockets were stuffed
with cigarettes, chocolates and candy
for the soldiers. A large number of
the men were of the Fortieth Division
organized from the National Guard CT
California and other Western States
The Mallory brought 1,4Sl troops, 93I
of whom, including % officers, were on
the sick and wounded list. They re-
mained aboard pending removal to
base hospitals.
Other ships arriving today were the
Manchuria. bearing 4,l61 troops, in
cluding $50 sick and wounded: the
White Star liner Megantic. bearing a
number of American, Canadian and
Australian officers among her 80 pas
sengers, and the American transport

POSTAL EMPLOYEES STORE,
ONE YEAR OLD, SUCCESSFUL
Practical Idea, Conceived by Mrs Burleson,
Aids Greatly in Cutting High Cost of
Living for Workers.

Assisted by Mrs. A. S. Burleson.
wife of the Postmaster General. the
postal employees cooperative store,
which is housed in the Postoffice
Building on Pennsylvania avenue,
has without any advertisement
whatever developed on its merits in
to lusty infant, and the first an
niversary of its esta ab1ishment dis
closes the fact that it is doing
monthly business of from $4,000 to
$4,000.
Probably not one of the thous-
ands of people. unless they happen
to be employees of tie general post
office and share in its benefits, who
pass by the large stone structure
would suspect that 1T housed a
grocery store. Postal employees
nevertheless can buy all kinds of
foodstuffs at greatly reduced
prices.
Mrs. Burleson conceived the idea
of starting it about a year ago
when Washington first began to feel
the pinch of high prices. A com
mittee was appointed from among
employees of the General Postoffice.
Initial start was made by each of
the original members contributing
81 to a fund. Since then the store
has been self-sustaining.
Any postal employe can buy a
card for IS which entities the holder
to purchase $4.75 in trade: the card
The Washington herald., 1918-12-21

Is punched with Zach purchase and
when exhausted a new card is pur-
chased. The 25-cent or 8 per cent
thus contributed pays clerk hire and
all losses on goods.
In other words, the postal employe
who buys the card supplies the capl-
tai. II Is practical scheme because
1t works. 1t has been carried on sue
cessfully one year.
AT this grocery store a postal en-
ploye can buy anything he can get
at any well-appointed establishment.
There Is now a stock of $4,000 in the
store, which has refrigerators for ths
handling of dressed chickens and tur-
keys.
Yesterday when a Herald reporter
called there was nj long line OF men
and women buying their supplies.
Here are few of the prices pub
lished on the bulletin board: Elk
Grove butter p cents; Blue Ribbon
butter, 70 cents; oieo. 32 cents: cheese,
~ cents; eggs, 72 cents; sliced bacon,
81 cents; puck bacon, As cents; oys-
ters. 40 cents a quart.
According to Charles s. Myers,
motor truck route agent, the farmers
along the postal motor routes are
flooding the store with their chickens,
eggs, oysters and other produce. all
of which is obtained at prices much
below those for which they could be
bought on the local market.
