During these chaotic times with condi-
tons of war demanding utmost cOnserva-
ton and economy, true patriotism inspires
strict observance by all alike-merchant
and customer.
The splendid uolune and growth of my
business has been built upon prices always
loWer than any competitor.
To be able to name yet lower prices |
must be able to further reduce the expense
of selling.
My buying cost cannot be reduced for
manufacturers prices are daily increasing.
But / can make further price reductions
by disseminating all credit sales they have
to carry interest which is added to any
credit merchant price, curtailing the book
keeping and collection cost and elimina-
ting any loss from bad accounts.
That's exactly .uhat I'm going to do!
| am going to make prices so unusual
and sensationally low that you would
borrow the money to pay me spot cash
rather than buy elsewhere on the "Extor-
ton Plan!"
am going into partnership with you
on wartime economies and we are going
to be better friends than ever.
The same polite clerks will show you
the same great varieties and the same high
quality of Furniture and House Furnish
ings, but the prices-spot cash prices they
are, will be different sensationally lower
and different!
Watch for my newspaper ads hereafter.
They, too, will be different. And they'll
convey to you wonderful message OF
furniture economy that will compel your
patronage.

A Mothers Day Letter.

The following letter from a brother
of Mrs. G. E. Geary, Sergeant Emery
Ranker, who is with the goth Engin-
GERS in France, while somewhat de-
layed, is so full of fine sentiment and
patriotic Americanism that we are
sure it will be read with interest, even
though our readers do not know the
young man:
May 10-My Dear Mother: This is
your letter, mother. 1t carries to you
from France and out across the ocean
the fondest love of a son and Sergeant
Sammie. l am going to write this
letter in violet ink and also two days
early so that it can get on its way
and leave France as soon as do the
"Mothers' Letters" from the boys who
are nearer the coast. The real
Mothers letter day isn't until the 18th
and altogether it is fine idea, for it
causes many fellows to write on that
day when maybe they would probably
wait day or two more. | just wrote
YOU letter on the 8th, but don't you
ever think that l would have other
mothers receiving mothers letters and
my dear Mumsey not receive any, No
matter how hard | had worked that
day l would not call it day until
like the thousands of other Yanks
will do, I, too, had finished letter to
you.
1 hope you are feeling as well as
l am tonight, mother. l feel fine, am
in perfect health and not only that
but l am happy; don't know why, but
lust am, and l feel like singing to-
night. 1t must be because | am feel
ing so well and have lots of work to
do and evidently am doing it to the
satisfaction of the commanding off
icer.
AS l write l am playing the phono-
graph also. Just now l am playing a
violin piece which reminds me of Ca
milla, and she surely is real girl
plus-mother. Does she ever write
YOU? In her letter No. 2 she wrote

with them every day since left home
and all were good fellows. There was
one kid by the name of Allan-he and
/ were great friends, so the night |
bid him goodbye, neither one of us
could say goodbye, but only shook
hands. He gave me everything he
had, for when q person leaves for
overseas they take everything he has
and give him new line of every
thing, but at that it isn't much.
We sure had some trip down here.
1t took US six days and half and
then we didn't get anywhere. Last
night big bunch came in from New
York. l don't know why they ship
them down here, but since | have
Joined the army such things will hap
pen; l don't even pretend to know
anything. In that way one gets along
fine. Talk about hot weather, you
ought to spend a few days in this
place. 1t only gets as low as 135. This
is some place for coons. | didn't know
there were so many in the world.
You can sure pick out the guys
from the West here, for whenever
you see a guy with lots Of pep, just
say he is from the West, as South
erner is just able to move. This has
been a wonderful trip for me. If you
have ever read the Wonderland Of the
World you will know what this coun-
try is like. The boys down here take
their James out riding behind one old
mule and a blackboard. We got off
in one little town and two girls start
ed over to talk to US, but some one
had to get bright and say we were
from Idaho, and they turned and beat
it for home. Hal hal

about the damn slackers" and to tell
you the truth | wouldn't trade with
any of them. They are getting fancy
food, theaters, etc, ice cream parlors
and all of that; they are wearing good
clothes and white collars and sleeping
between nice white sheets, but they
are welcome to all. They are enjoy
ing something denied to the rest of us,
and something they should feel a GER
tain guilt in having. But we will get
all this after the war is over, and to
boot we will know how to enjoy all the
comforts all the more for our expert
ence. They are doing us a real favor
also: they will, in their efforts to
avoid the service, marry the girls who
are below the average and when we
get back there will be left the girls of
a higher mentality and character
the girls who could wait and who
value a character in a man rather
than that found in "slacker's" make
up. l just want fellows like - to
open up their heads to me when I get
back. There are more like him and
Sonoma and those smaller towns are
chuck full Of them. They ought to
make fellows like that wear small
ruffle of lace at the bottom of their
trousers. But we all know that.
Today, as I read the "Stars and
Stripes" announcing May II as
Mothers Day, felt that they had
forgotten something in their write-up.

sums UP for me in a few words what
YOU mean to me and what all moth
ers should mean to their sons:
"God could not be everywhere
So He made mothers"

as l had hoped to make it, but it car

Every once in awhile we hear some
person express pleasure that the
Tuscania was a British ship with a
British crew and was conveyed by
British instead of American destroy
ers. They seem to think that if it had
been an American ship conveyed by
American war vessels, the disaster
would not have occurred. Their mem.
DRY is short. A few weeks ago, an
American transport escorted by Am
erican destroyers, while on the way
home was torpedoed and over sixty
lives lost-a much greater proportion
than was lost with the Tuscania Our
men who survived the disaster have
nothing but praise for the bravery
and skill of the British seamen, and
the British have treated our men as
tho they were their own. It is fool
ish for any American to disparage
Britain. Before the ink on this paper
is dry, we may hear of an American
transport ringed by American war
ships being stricken. Our men are
brave and skilled, the British are
brave and skilled, and both are doing
their noble best in a common cause
AS long as they are fighting side by
side, we might as well disparage the
one as the other.

The New York papers say num-
Der of the children are suffering with

cornbread and war bread. We don't
know about war bread, but no healthy
child was ever made sick by eating
well-cooked cornbread. A good many
New York children like a good many
other American children are spoiled
and likely to say anything they don't
like makes them sick. They wouldn't
claim that gingercake made them
sick If American children were rub

large proportion of sef-reliant men
and women when they grew up. It
looks, however, like course of that
sort of training was ahead of them.

A couple of our od-lookingest
high school teachers read our re-
marks on school methods, the other
day, and with the most charming
egotism proceeded to take to them
selves the criticism aimed at the sys-
tenn. They started in to mob US, but
we hurriedly assured them that they
and everything they did were per-
feetly and entirely all right; and they
decided to let US live a while longer.
Another fault of our school system is
that there are so many good-looking
lady teachers in it that it is near
blasphemy to say anything against it.

A friend, reading our remarks in
recent issue of the Star, about the
heavy burden laid on parents by the
necessity of buying so many school
books, asked why Marion county did
not follow the example of fernando
in buying books for its school chill
dren. As the only way for the county
to buy anything is with money coli
lected from the taxpayers, we do not
see how the fernando plan would be
any saving. The people of Marion
are heavily taxed now and they
would revolt against proposition tt
tax them another ten or fifteen thou
sand dollars for books. Aside from
that, we do not believe it is any more
the business of the county to buy
books for school children than it is
to buy their clothes. We believe in
a condition of affairs that will enable
the average man to supply his family
with necessaries instead Of a condi-
ton where the state is bound to do it.
The former is Americanism; the lat
ter is socialism. Rome began its de-
cline with furnishing bread to the
people, then it gave them amuse-
necessity for work ana
forethought removed, the people soon
became a nation of loafers and a prey
to a stronger race. We can follow the
example of Rome-give our children
free books, free lunches, free movie
tickets, free clothes, relieve their
parnts of responsibility-and a ma
ton of brutes not made anemic by
superfuous education will make our
children's children their slaves.
