Not for Me, but of Me.

Moses Selig has heen in business for
a long time but fever until recently
had he received purely business Lett
ter from a small granddaughter. The
letter was sent by his granddaughter,
Evelyn Hahn, who formerly lived In
indianapolis, and was as follows:
dearest Grandpa This is a. busi-
ness note. / am selling Thrift
Stamps and War Savings Stamps.
Please buy of me, not for me, and help
me to receive position in the army
Of thrift workers. Send me check
if you will, payable to cash, and will
send you the stamps. You will oblige
and help me very much. Much love.
EVELYN"
1t is needless to say that Mr.. Selig
regarded this as one of the most I'M
portant business notes he ever re-
ceived.-Indianapolis News.

Il do not profess to know much OF

SLOUGH HAT OUT or FAVOR
Picturesque ile~s5 gear No Longer
Worn by American Soldiers en-
the Fighting Fronts.

The SLOUGH hat has for many years
been regarded in Europe as Distinctive
ly American, although for as many
years it has been no more commonly
worn in the United States than in the
British isles, and over considerable
part of the continent. Nevertheless.
the typical American Is almost IA ri.
ably pictured in soft hat and thGE 49,
fets worn by the soldiers of
American eXpeditionary forces To
France helped to sustain the tradition.
In the Civil war the soldiers of the
North wore caps. Soft felts were
chosen for soldiers operating against
the Indians on the plains because they
were supposed to afford greater protec.
ton than caps from the glare They be-
came a regulation head covering for
the army in the Spanlsh-American war,
and, because they matched the khaki
uniform, they have been in use ever
since. Now, however, General Per-
shing is said to have decided that these
hats must be discarded In favor of
brimless and peakless caps, and the
reason for the proposed change is
characteristic of the period that has
introduced into war SO many innova-
tons. The rim of the soft felt hat
throws shadow on the periscope
used in the trenches so as to interfere
with sighting by the wearer; also,
when worn by tall men, the crown may
be seen above the parapets by the en-
my; also, gas mask can be adjusted

TRAVELLING statesmen
ITO AID Attn LOAN
T. P. A., Adapts Resolutions Making
Each Member Liberty Bond
Salesman.

Every member of the Travellers
Protective Association in the United
States is pledged as Liberty Loan
Band Salesman for the Fourth cam
paign.
This pledge was made at the an
nual convention Of that organization
that was held in st. Louis in June.
There was not a dissenting voice
when the resolution was proposed
and the travelling salesman took the
action without solicitation from any
representative Of the Liberty Loan
Organization.
The meaning of the adoption of
the organization is significant and
important. No body of men WELD a
more direct influence than this large
body of. commercial representatives
who travel many times over every
state and territory in the United
States. assskI,XSA
They are selected for their work
becaus of their keen intelligence, for
their knowledge of human nature,
and for their ability to approach a
prospect" and make the most con-
vincing of arguments. They visit
every merchant in every city, town
end hamlet, and their visits are al
ways welcomed by the merchants with
whom they have dealings.
Merchants in the more remote re.
gions keep in touch with the doings
of the world outside through their
dealings with this army of travellers,
and they have a remarkable conf
denec in the veiws advanced by the
statesmen, most of whom they know
personally.
The reasons advanced for the mer-
chant supporting the government by
buying bonds are in turn passed on
by the merchant to his customers,
and thus the work of the travelling
salesman as an aid to his country is
increased hundred fold.
The accomplishment sof the travel
ing men in the Fourth Loan will be
noted with keen interest by the Treas
ury Department officials annd by
Liberty Loan Organizations.
