AT A foCENT STORE.

a 10-cent store is a movie picture in life The scenes
and actors are infinite. And the visitors are just as in
terested as at a movie. in fact, there is nothing but the
movie. and the dime provides the motion. Human ma
ture is there in all its variety, some to get what they
want and some 70 look around for what they might want,
which they generally find. We often join the throng. and
We never went in to see the crowd. but we found some
thing TO buy. A Decent store is really a depository of
things that we need and didn't know il. Sometimes
il IS said the articles sold are not good enough. but in
% cases out OF 100 they are worth what they cost. They
awaken a human want. and that is why humanity gath
ers around and fills itself to the brim. We like the
10cent store. We like to go in there and buy 10-cent
socks. 10cent cuff buttons, 10-cent stew pans, 10cent
papers Of peanuts. and 1O-cent everything. Who cares
for 10 cents if it meets q Clsmoring need?
We went into a 10-cent store and with our two little
nephews one time. and in a 1T of startling generosity

STAND BY r BOYS,

Word has come back from the boys in France. We
viii be all right over here in the trenches if you folks
over there Will stand by us
What do they mean by standing by?
They mean for us TO do our part in food conserva-
ton, in buying Thrift Stamps and Liberty Bonds. They
mean for US to stand by the Red Cross with our
money. our hands and our brains. They mean for US
TO refrain from buying non-essentials so that the men
and women who make them can be released for the
making of essentials. They mean for us to place a one
cent stamp upon our periodicals when We have finished
reading them so that the boys may have good things to
read.
They mean for us to write cheerful letters to them.
One young soldier said, Il don't mind the danger and
discomforts if l feel that everybody is all right at home,
but when l get a letter saying that Frank is out of a
Job and sister Hattie is sick and food is high and they
can't afford to buy much and there is no coal-well
I feel like the devil
Remember that by the time that letter reaches
France Frank may have a better Job, Hattie may be fat
and rosy. food may be easier TO get and the coal short
age ended. Even If that is not true write cheerful let
tiers anyway. The boy over there needs cheer. it isn't
his place to be cheering you. Remember that whatever
discomforts we may be having over here they are com
forts compared to what they have over there. Let US
not fail our boys who are fighting for US. The very
least we can do is STAND BY.
