HOME STORE SERVICE

The relation that grows up between
the stores in place like Denison and
the people is a very intimate one. The
merchants and their clerks are able
to make study of the individual
needs, tastes and desires of their pat,
rons.
When you visit big department
store in some other place, the sales
people never saw you before and new
er expect to recognize you again.
They have little idea what you want,
and they are less likely to be able to
please you.
Your home store merchant or clerk
sold you similar article last year
and probably for several years. He
at once knows the kind of thing you
are looking for and he helps you to
select it.
The result of making this kind Of
purchase is always economical. Peo-
pie will use thing much longer if it
meets their desires and tastes. The

ent.
An idea as to the success of these
clubs can be gained from the fact that
Sioux City last year had two hundred
poultry club members who showed
their stock at the interstate fair. In
Cedar Rapids interest was pushed by
merchants who offered prizes, draw
ing over hundred boys and girls into
the work. Dubuque already this year
has two clubs started.

GIRLS IN ENGLAND
TO BE CHAPERONED
NOW WAR is ENDED

London-(Correspondence of the
Associated Press. 1.-The chaperone
is reappearing in London, after
more than four years of absence be-
cause of the war. American women,
the society leaders say, are respon-
sible, because they want to see
London, and independent and self
reliant as they are, they do not
want to see it without the assur-
ance that they will be well chaper-
oned.
The chaperone, once a well estab-
lished institution in England, lost
her calling when women went in
for war work. Many a young girl
who had never ventured from home
without the guiding hand of chap
erone took to driving an am
bulance, while others were installed
in the "Waacs," the RATS" or some
one of the many other women's or
carnations which had to do with
the prosecution of the war. These
for chaperones.
The American women who want
chaperones are also war workers,
Red Cross, Young Women's Christ
ian Association aids and others wRo
are here. They, too, are self reliant
and independent, but when they doff
their uniforms and go out to see
London or spend a part of their
very little leisure time in the
gaities of the city, they feel they
ought to subscribe to the conven-
lions,
