Helen Brouun Receives
French Girls Letter

Helen Brown, who is in the SD
grade at Vale school, has been
writing i to the little French girl
whom their school has adopted, and
in return has received several
letters from her.
The first came in January, when
the French friend sent her picture,
and called her American cores
pondent, "benefactor." So Helen
and her mother wrote back. asking
the French folks not to call us ben
efactors but friends, and now the
following letter has just come:
Dear Friend:
l give you this lovely name since
you have authorized me to do SO,
and / am very glad of it, for it is
very pleasant for me to feel that
beyond the seas there are hearts
which sympathize with US and our
sufferings. Yes, America is sis
ter to us and France is proud Of
having with her own soldiers 9TH
ers SO valiant and courageous.
Then, dear friend, you and Miss
Helen asked me to send our photo
graphs. We sent 1t Immediately.
Perhaps you have already received
it, but il the contrary is true, please
write us, and we shall send you an
other.
Believe, dear friend and dear lit
tie friend, the thanks of all my
family, who are happy to see that
you are interested in us, are yours;
and l am sure my dear father will
thank you from on high, where he
surely has his chosen place.
Receive, II you will permit It,
from mother, from my little sisters
and my little brothers our best
kisses.
Your little ward. Augusta MAZE

Dear Dad:
You ought to of heard the soldier
that was over to our school today,
he sure was fine, only dad, he just
had one leg and he had to stand on
it all the time and l don't see how
he could because | tried it.
You know this was the last day
of school, so after We got our cards
we went into the auditorium, and
dad, he told us an awful lot.
He said it wasn't any difference
whether we were over there with
you or back here at home, we all
were Americans just the same, and
Just because we weren't old enough
to hold the front line trenches
wasn't any sign we couldn't live
up to the Declerashun of Indepen-
dunts. And SO if any of us boys
would tease some Of the little
kids when they weren't big enough
to do anything to us, we were just
like the Huns instead of living for
demockeracy, and if any girls made
fun of any other girls because they
didn't have nice clothes, they were
just as bad.
He asked if any of us fellows
would like to be soldiers to please
stand up, so we did, and then he
asked how many would be willing
to give everything We had and die
for our country, so we all stood up
again. And then he asked how
many had gone without new base
ball things and even new clothes,
to buy thrift stamps, and dad,
you ought to of seen us fellows
look at each other, because you
know that team We got up, well
about every fellow there had just
bought a new glove or bat.
But dad, the thing he said that
made me think an awful lot, was
about you. He said all the soldiers
over there have pal or pardner
of some kind, and he talked an aw-
full lot about his, how they divided
up everything and used each 9th
er's blankets, and dad, l was just
wondering if you had one too.
You see dad, here at home when
we plan things out in the council
chair like you said, and play the
things you like On the Victrola,
we just sort of pretend that you're
out in the den or real near, and
dad, we just never thought about
you talking things over and being
chums with anybody else but just
us.
You know, dad, when you said
could be your Jr. Partner, ! guess
sort of thought maybe we could
talk things over some when we'd
write to each other, like if l was
grown up, but l hadn't just said il
to you, dad.
That soldier up at school today
was telling how his pal and he al
ways went on hikes together wher
they had any time off, and how
they always got a can of baket
beans together when they were
hungry, and dad, l know we can
do things like that now, but 20,
know how we'd always get thu
bait together when you and Mr.
Harlow and the men were goins
fishing together; and how you al

WANT UNION SHOP.

Bakers Union No. 35 Of New Or
leans has asked for the union shop,
eight hours, time and one-half for
the employers don't like the union
recognition feature Of the agreement.
They are "seeing things" and talk
about the "closed shop" while the
unionists insist that the only closed
shop is the kind that anti-union en-
ployers conduct.
The bakers show that they have
spent thousands Of dollars to educate
non-unionists to join with them, and
that when the employer uses the term
CLOSED shop" against organised labor
he is trying TO camoufage his real
sentiments.

ASK TAFT AND WALSH STAY.

Joint Chairmen Taft and Walsh Of
the national war labor board have been
asked by Secretary Of Labor Wilson
to remain in charge Of that board until
the war is officially ended.
while an armistice has been de-
clared," said Secretary Wilson in his
letter, I'VE have not yet reached the
status of peace. That will not be
reached until the Presidents proc
lamation has been issued after the
peace treaties have been signed and
approved by the Senate. In the mean
time problems OF production and re-

For these reasons it is desired that the

BAKER OPPOSED
TO LOWER WAGES
LIVING STANDARD MUST
NOT BE REDUCED.
During Reconstruction Period All
Working Men Must Be Alert to Pro-
tect Their Interests and Oppose
Prevailing Conditions.

What about wages after the war?
Are wages to go sailing down at
once?
Are the profiteers going to pile
profits after the war on top of profits
made during the war?
Secretary of War Baker says:
No!
At the annual meeting Of the Ma
tional Consumers League in Wash
ington Secretary Baker said that dur
ing the reconstruction days
There must be no depressing of
wages and
The same high standard Of living
maintained during the war must con-
tinue.
Secretary Baker added that unless
there's a more unselfish mode Of liv-
ing following the war most OF the
sacrifice of men and money will have
been in vain.

Belgium is laid in waste.
France is torn asunder,
Italy is still holding on,
While Bulgaria has gone to thunder
Austria has thrown up the sponge,
While Hungary is keeping mum,
Germany has crawled in hole,
And the kaiser is on the bum.
Russia is still raising Cain,
The Bolsheviki are on the run,
All monarchies are overthrown,
And the devil has got the Hun.

against it for $500 because of the
death of passenger thru the COM
pany's attempt to operate its cars
with strikebreakers. Its refusal to
obey the order of the national war

victimized trade unionists resulted in

RICK POINTS
TO NEED FOR
TOBACCO FUND
There was trouble in the air.

There was trouble in the air.
The reporter noticed that something
was wrong" the minute he stepped
into the office Of l. D. Rickerson,
'rustler" for the Ray boys tobacco
fund. Rick's eyes cleaned with fire
his cigar was uptilted at an angle
of umpty leven degrees as he barked
out: Have you contributed to the
Ray boys tobacco fund.-" 1t did not
take your reporter more than one
three-hundreths Of second to assert
that he had done his duty. Slightly
mollified, Rick began:
"Those boys who are over there
or who are on their way there, should
be backed up by this community. Buy
ing Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Stamps helps to equip them, but it
DOES NOT BUY THEIR TOBACCO.
If you were out on guard duty, peer
ing through the inky blackness of No
Mans Land, for hours at time, and
suddenly rush came; If you
knocked the tar out of those Huns
and showed them what the good, lit
tie, old U. S. A. can do-after the
strain, what would be the first thing
you would want? You're right--it
would be a cigarette, and we don't
want to think that any of our boys
are going to want for their smokes!
mo, it is certainly up to us to give
those boys what little comfort they
may obtain out of sack of Durham.
can understand that, in the excite
ment of the Liberty Loan, to which
Ray. responded so nobly, the Red
Cross drive, and other contributions
which we have all made, interest in
the Ray boys tobacco fund may have
waned. But we are not going to see
those boys suffer, know.
There is a box fastened to con-
crete pillar in front of the Ray Con.
hotel Any contributions placed in it
will be used solely for the purchase
-of tobacco for the boys, and 1t will
be bought at wholesale, so that the
.I
boys get all that they have coming to
them. If you cannot spare dollar,
put in half; if half is too much,
drop your quarter in-anything will
do, so long as it's DONE"
Rick is right. Contributions to. the
fund have fallen far behind, and Ray
certainly owes that much to the boys
who are giving their lives If need be,
| to prove the fact that treaties are not
scraps of paper; that preparedness for
forty years won't do particle of good
and that civilization demands rule
of right, and not might! Let us all
chip in and make it banner day for
the Ray boys tobacco fund.

SECRETARY TREASURER SHOVE OF RAY CON
ORIGINATOR OF UNIQUE B0ND-BUY|NG PLAN

Unique among the various methods
employed during the Third Liberty
Loan campaign was that used by Mr.
Eugene P. Shove, secretary and treas
urer of the Ray Con. Copper company.
Mr.. Shove, who resides at Colorado
Springs, Col, advertised in the Colo
rado Springs papers for fifty Liberty
Bonds at $50 each. The advertise
ment stated that the bonds would be
bought from the first fifty Boy Scouts
who came to Mr.. Shove's office on
Monday morning, April 20. The
bonds were to be used by Mr.. Shove
in his subscriptions to the Red Cross.
Concerning the outcome of Mr..
Shove's experiment, the Colorado
Springs Evening Telegraph of Mon
day, April 20, had the following to
say:
cat the stroke of midnight, twelve
shadowy forms softly stole around the
corner of the Mining Exchange build
ing and at a sharp word of command
entered the building. They were the
advance guard of the Boy Scouts pre-
pairing for the raid on the offices of
E. P. Shove, who Saturday advertised
in the Telegraph for fifty Liberty
Bonds. Discovering that the inner
doors of the building were locked, they
made double quick time to the Inde-
pendence building, climbed the stairs
and got onto the fifth floor of the Min
ing Exchange, where Mr.. Shove's Of
fices are located. They were mem
bers of Troop No. 9, in charge of Har-
vey Donaldson, scoutmaster of the
Boys club, and, like the United States
marines, they were the first to be
there.
Bundled in their coats, they pitched
camp on the stone floor of the corri-
dor and lay down to sleep, with SEN
tries posted to warn of any raiding
party. Before daylight other scouts

That remains to be seen when COM
parisons are made, but Oracle has
raised it's quota Of the loan thirty
eight times.
Oracle's aim was not merely to
raise it's quota, but to break all rec
ords. The first night of the drive
$500 was raised at a meeting at
which there were only fifty-five peo-
pie present, and the largest subscrip-
tion was $500-and only one of that
amount. When the results of the
drive were totaled, it was found that
Oracle had bought $18,550 worth of
Liberty Bonds. It's quota was fixed
at $46S.
