Some Real Bargains In
Dreams; Help Yourself
nv RNN ESENpu

ONE OF the greatest joys in life can
" be had absolutely for nothing.
Sounds like a bargain counter propo-
sition. but it's not. it's 4 dream It's
like all other Dreams it doesn't cost
a thing.
Think OF all the wonderful dreams
you have had Think OF all the trips
You have planned Miles and miles of
railroad are used up in one dream
You stopped at the best hotels. saw
All the worth while sights, and you
were just as eXtravagant as you
wanted 10 be, and It didn't cost q
thing.
When you were g little chap you
had dreams Of what you would do,
and what you would be. when you got
big No proposition was too big 10
dream about
When you grew older. you had air
castles o. all descriptions and natures
You had dreams so fantastic and eX-
travsgeut that they seem even impos-
sihle for your imagination
You are dreaming yet There is al
ways some illusion Just around the
corner, something that bangles be-
fore our eyes. Just out Of reach.
Though IL is out OF our reach. in our
mind we plan and work as though il
were a reality We enjoy the posi-
bilities OF the dream more than We
would the realization Of it
II has been said that sleep knits up
the raveled sleeve Of care" and II
might be said that our dreams file off
the edge Of our disappointments.

that the facts were Just the reverse,

He reports the incident having occurred near Dun

see what happened to Luke All that was known was that
he failed return Yet his plane was not seen falling II

make forced landing behind the enemys lines and was
probably held prisoner.
To make the Identification somewhat more complete,
aviator Cooper gives watch number which, Lieut. Lukes
parents say corresponds with that of their son How
Cooper got this information is stated in the much alb
brYiated reports received He may have been taken prs
oner himself and got the watch number and other details
after having taken by the enemy. He wrote friends in
FL Paso not long ago that he had been shot down IN flames
but did not say whether not he had fallen into the enc
