''My Dear Mrs. Jones: II was my
privilege to be with your sotr' shortly
before he died, 10 talk with him and TO
promise him I'd write TO you. If he
knew he was going soon he did not
say so, but spoke only OF the hope he
had OF going home TO you.
His chief desire, so characteristic OF
all our brave boys. was that you should
not be uneasy. lie was a fine, cour-
agous lad. / have visited the spot
where he lies and am sending you a
leaf from his grave. Being a woman,
with a woman's heart, ] know how
much even such a tiny leaf will mean
TO you. / wish that you might have
stood with me beside his grave, here and
the plains of the Saone-et-Lolre, and
have seen how peaceful 10 was. IL
would have brought more comfort TO
your heart than words Of mine can
bring 11a
"The white roads stretch away 20
the tiny hamlets, the river scarcely
seems TO move. and over all bends the
beautiful sky OF southern France,
aflame with color Each day the grate-
full villagers bring tributes OF flowers
and evergreens.
II have seen more than one brave
soldier carried into this little'oemetery,
wrapped in tho Stars and Stripes; have
seen the firing squad stand al attention
and heard the bugler sound the last
call. / know no soldier falling in a
foreign land in defense OF the worlds
freedom could be accorded a Aurial
more solemnly grand, nor lie. in more
peaceful state than these well-loved
boys OF ours.
" visited the ward in which your
son lay, many times. I can assure you
he was cared for tenderly and lovingly.
The nurses brought me word from him
from time TO time. He Vas a general
favOrite.
~ can .Snly say to you as he told me
TO do, not 70 worrq.' I write with
heart full Of sympathy for you In your
bereavement yet feeling that the great
est legacy which could have been be-
queathed to you is the way In which
he died"

Some Hints About
 Th@Sumday Dinner and Where to Buy
Fly JOHN c. MOSES

We'll, if your garden was npped by the frost of Thursday night, don't be dis couraged. Replant your rows, and while waiting for things to come back, trade with the merchants who use this Mar ket Page each week. They have all the fresh vegetables you wish, and the best in the meat and grocery line.
 The Holzer Market is never behind with the best of everything. If you want qual- ity stuff. with prices In proportion, this is where you can load that Sunday bas- ket. On the fresh meat side can be found nothing but the best of western cuts, and the best of service and delivery to put it into your home Arnold Bros entire output in Birmingham is handled by this marlxet-best of bacon, hams delicatessen, etc. At the ready-to- eat counter is Sig Levy as usual always with an assortment of the best in prepared meats, sausages, cheese, preserves, pick els and all other delicacies. Drop in today and get your appetite sharpened up to keen pitch.
 At Ethridges Temple of Economy will be found a layout thIs morning second to none. This is a small market place, but market where quality and low. prices go hand in hand. At the mea; counter will be found my young friend Ethridge himself This is hobby of his, and he endeavors to give everyone a square trade. There is no trouble for him to do this, as he handles nothing but Al meats and sells reasonable. On the other side of the market will be found every delicacy the season affords and a line of fresh groceries. Get the habit of trading where your dollar is appreciated
 The Mercantile Supply company always quotes something to make the mouth water. Today it is water-ground meal fresh country eggs, best head rice and good old hominy. What better meal can man ask for during these strenuous times, or any other old time for that matter? This market buys direct from the producer and sells great deal in the bulk. There is bunch of live boys behind the scene here and what they don't know about treating patrons right don't amount to much.
 
 Here again--that upper Second avenue live wire. V. w. Wood & Co. And as usual with list that defes comparison. The walk to Twenty-tourth street and Second avenue is not long when you can figure on saving a weeks car fare on your Sunday basket. Bulk lots is spe- cialized in, and this Is good way to buy. according to my way of thinking It cuts out lots of little expenses that pile up by buying in small lots. Look over the ad on this page this morn- ing, and see if you have been paying some little fellow round the corner too much.
 Who said artichokes. asparagus Eng fish peas? If you will take the trouble to look over the ad of Catanzano Bros on this page you will see these among the choice offerings for today's sale And this is not all these boys have for Saturday traders. How about some nice poultry, fresh fish. oysters. etc? This is the place you are looking for. Take this from me.
