and that's what he will always b,

who joyfully recall the lad who's,
name Is now a household word II
every home in the allied countries
and which causes terror in the breas,
of every Hun.
| OF the more intimate reminiscen.
ces recalled by boyhood friends oil
General Pershing, none is more in.
tersting than those Of w. LATE Heath
of Webster Groves, who sat with
Jack" Pershing in the same seat
years ago In the Laclede schools.
Heath is the proud father of two sons
who were quick to hear the call and
cast their lot with the boyhood friend
of their father.
"As a boy I had the greatest ad-
miration for John Pershing," said
Heath recently. Even then he had
an unusual personality. He was very
popular among his schoolmates. I
recall him as a youth of few words
and an engaging smile, nearly al
ways present. He was courteous and
handsome. His regard for the opin-
ions and wishes of others was I'M
usual for boy so young.
John Pershing was a natural
leader, altho he exercised leadership
in such quiet, inoffensive way that
he appeared to be unconscious of it.
He was not fighter by DISPOSE
ton and preferred to settle any boy
ish disagreements along peaceful
lines, rather than by force. The
boys looked to him as a sort of court
of last resort an he was often called
upon to settle disputes"
Pershing was regular attendant
at the Methodist Sunday school
Heath said, his father being an elder
in the Laclede church, postmaster of
the town. Heath does not recall that
in their school days Pershing ever
expressed desire to him to be
soldier.
Altho pacific in character, Heath
said, young Pershing was firm in
his beliefs and ideas, and was willing
to back them up with force if neces-
sary.
''Pershing was one of he kindest |
Ioyo SNOi hhO"b COtlIluuOu I1SdJIl,
and was always willing to help his |
During our last year
at school Pershing helped me with
my mathematics and made light of
what to me was a heavy burden"
Residents of Laclede, Heath said,
'ften recall an incident which oc-
cured on the occasion of a visit
which Pershing paid to his home
own about twenty-four years ago.
'ershing who was then a major in
he army had just arrived in Laclede
md was walking down the main
treet cal" Hall, an old negro, whom
'ershing had known when he was a
chool boy, was driving along the
treet and recognized Pershing. He
topped his horse and wagon, and
limbing down from his seat, hurried
oward Pershing saying: ooh, oh!
[ere's our John! YOU think l don't s
now you.
Pershing walked into the street to
leet the old negro half way, and q
ave him a hearty handclasp and +
reeting. q
After being graduated at Laclede 3
ershing went to the Normal school q

DON'T Slow Up
Advertising NOW!

Never has there been time when
the public has looked more keenly for
MERCHANDISING NEWS than now.
Never has there been a time more
suspicious for the enterprising trades
man to secure HIS FULL SHARE OF
TRADE than now.
People must continue to eat, to
wear and to use. .l
he tendency is to cut out luxuries,
and luxuries are only relatively small
proportion of your business. For every
luxury cut out you have chance to in
crease your movement of staples.
How short-sighted is the policy of
reducing, advertising expense to save
money" You will only lose trade.
You will only lose prestige.
Advertise to increase sales and
make more money; don't cut it out to
save money.
Study your advertising as you never
did before do it wisely and well. y:
Be prosperous and let the people
know that you are prosperous
Success was NEVER achieved bv
stopping advertising or by wearing old
clothes and talking pessimism.
Be Wise-and Advertise!
