THERE'S A WOMAN IN OUR TOWN
Who is searching carefully the
pockets of all the clothes left at home
by her husband when he went to war
thirteen months ago. The cause Of
tnis search is the fact that she acci-
IDENTIFY lcame across some perfectly
good checks and a five dollar bill in
an old pair of golf trousers which her
nd had n short
Iy before leaving for his camp. In a
small purse in this pocket was thirty
eight dollars in checks and money
which had been entirely forgotten In
the excitement of getting off to war.
She figures If she should find that
much money in his golf trousers there
might be much more in some of his
, other pockets, but we suppose that he
has not been in the habit of coming
from the golf course with any money
left, the way golf balls cost these
times, and overlooked the fact that he
hadn't had to buy any supplies that
day. Anyway you have heard the ex-
preston. which never wears out, ''it
was just like finding that much
money"
