Referring to Trading Stamps
Read This Carefully.

For the last two years we have had so much
difficulty and trouble with our Trading Stamp ser
vice that We have decided to discontinue 1T after
June 1st. This is done after careful thought and
consideration. Prices have fuctuated so much,
and articles have been so scarce and hard to get,
that the Stamp Company has not been able to
furnish the same quality premiums as heretofore.
This has been trying to us and to our friends,
in fact we have felt that some of our customers
have come to the conclusion that we were not do
ing our part in the matter.
At this writing there are a number of books
in prices of the premiums the books have had to
be returned, and the premiums wanted we have
not been able to get. No one particularly is to
be blamed for the delays, but the inconvenience
is the same.
We are giving this notice so far ahead so that
all who have checks to redeem can have ample
time to get them changed into stamps; and we
further guarantee that none of our customers shall
lose anything on their accumulations of checks or
stamps, as we stand ready to redeem them all at
full money value in merchandise at any time. We
will allow merchandise to the value of S1.75 for
each book of one thousand stamps, or in the same
proportion for lesser quantities.. Or, between this
and June LIST, We will do all in our power to get
what premiums ore wanted, if books are sent
promptly and articles wanted plainly described.
We EXPECT in the near future to have a PROPOSE
ton in aluminium ware in order to make our Cash
Register Checks valuable to our customers. Soon
as we have arrangements completed will give full
notice and explanations. Our promise as to value
of their REGISTER Checks will be fully kept, and all
will be protected.

EASTER GREETINGS

@1ASTER means a little more to this section
- than many others. Here it means not
i55II only the anniversary of a great event,
Ga@0 but it means also the opening up of
things. To the laboring man it means plenty of
work to the business man it means the opening
up of his business year; to the property holder it
means that his properties will be occupied, and
rents will begin to flow in to him; to the whole
section it means that tourists will be focking this
way, with money in their pockets that they will
want to exchange for pleasure, entertainment,
good health and a general good time.
Let us keep the larger view of the Holiday in
mind, but let US also remember that this year it
is the beginning of the largest season that this
section has ever had. Evidence is multiplying
that there will be a great infioWing of tourists and
that the only drawback will be the want of houses
and accommodation to take care of the people.

nice stock now on hand many new fine patterns.

MOHAWK SHEETS, PILLOW CASEs-Quite a
drop in price of these, and a stock on hand.
VOILES-An ample assortment of the newest
patterns.
SILKS-The high prices of wooden fabrics have
brought silks into general use. There is moth
ing more dainty or attractive. Plain colors and
plaids.
WAISTS-Silks, Georgettes, Madras and Cotton

WILL Be HOME IN JUNE
Langres France,
March 3rd

Dear Father:
Will now answer your very in
teresting letter that arrived here q
few days ago. 1t sure was well
come and I was glad to hear from
you personally. l see by your let
ter that you are all we'll and in
fairly good health, / also hope you
feeling very well just now. I did
have the grip for the last two weeks
but got over 1t all right.
So you were glad to know that I
could still read German and not be
ashamed of 1t, but as to being a.
shamed of it I never shall because l
don't think much of q man that will
try and hide his nationality, but as 1t
is and always will be America first.
So you would be glad to know when
I am coming home, l will tell you as
near as possible, around two weeks
from today there is a truck train 60
ing out for about thirty days and then
it will return here and any time after
that we can look forward to pulling
out of France, so / will not expect to
be home much before June, it may be
a few days sooner and 1t may be a few
days later, I can't tell exactly, this is
all I can tell you about when I will be
home.
sure am glad to hear that all the
boxes are getting there and whats
more I am still sending them. l have
sent my good razor, strop and stone
home as I now have one like I sent
to Ed, and can get along good with It.
Some say that we won't be able to
take anything with us when we leave
France so l want to keep them and
have sent them home Will send an
other box tomorrow l hope it gets
there. l haven't had a chance to get
you a good pipe, I see you were sur
prised to get the other one and II I
get a chance to buy a good one I shall
do so.
Mother can't see how I can send so
much home, tell her not to worry any
as I will get along alright. I still
have all the Xmas money that was
sent to me SO I am jake Yeti know
that I will not be sorry for what I
spend to send things home as it is
from France and will be nice to have.
I am getting s26.4O a month so
that goes quite aways providing you
let wine alone and so far wine hasn't
hurt me any and am in hopes that it
won't as l get along good without it.
My cash does get low some times

Meeting the Last
German Offensive

sustained casualties totalling 600 men.
They were now seasoned veterans, with
commendatory citations from the French
general command, and were ready for
whatever the enemy had in store. 1t
came in the launching Of the last great
German offensive. July Is to 19 saw
the Goth, as part of the Rainbow Di-
vision, enmeshed in great battle in the
Champagne. Rather was it q series of
battles, in which all the fighting spirit,
grim determination and thrilling bray
cry of these New York boys were put
into play. At St. Hilaire le Grande,
Jonchery and the Suippes River they
were on their mettle constantly. They
were in the thick of the show at Chateau
Thierry At Sergy they encountered the
Prussian Guards in grilling fight. Com
ing from 40 days in Lorraine, in which
they were almost constantly in action,
being the first American division to en-
ter the trenches, and having remained
in the trenches for longer period at
stretch than any other division, their
appetites for fight were merely whetted
by the hardships which they had under
gone. Consequently, in the Champagne,
when the German advance was begun,
they received with set jaws General
Gourauds order of the day, owe will
stand or die" and stood-like granite
wall
By their iron defence they crushed the
German assault, and on the word of
General Menoher made possible the
counter offensive Of July Is to the west
of Rheims.
All the while, their dasbing style Of
fighting was resulting in heavy toll Of

PROGRESS IN SOUTH

Washington, June PA matter
of going to the very foundations OF

veipped here through the initiative
of Senator Smith Of South Carolina
For several days Senator Smith has
been in conference with railroad au.
thorities to know why since the Un.
tied States shipping board has allo-
Gated ships to South Atlantic and
gulf points and made rates for wa
ter transportation to South American
countries that the railroad admins.
tration would not cooperate and es-
tablish rail rate which would put
these ports on an equal basis with
others in this country. With the
ships and water rates nothing else
was needed in the opinion of Senator
Smith but fair rates to the seaboard
Today Senator Smith got at the bot
tom of the matter. He was told that
until such time as the railroads OF
the United States are turned back
to their owners there can not be any
coordination between rail and water
rates. This means that South Caro-
lima Georgia and Florida ports must
suffer indefinitely and not be able to
get cargoes for shipment because
the one link, that of coordinating
rail and water rates can not become
effective. The railroads refuse to CO.
operate in this great plan of building
up South American trade.

SINKING OF SHIPS
NOT GREAT LOSS

London, June 23.-With regard to
the sinking of the German warships
in the Scapa Flow, the Sunday OBJ
server says that while naval opinion
at Portsmouth holds it would have
been better to have had British
guards on the German ships, their
sinkings may be considered as re-
moving a difficulty which might have
led to heart burning among the al
lies concerning their disposition. The
German skeleton crews were re-
lieved monthly and returned to Ger
many. They were fed only such pro-
visions as they would have obtained
in their own country.
Admiral Sir Cyprian Bridge, re-
tired, former director of intelligence
department, interviewed by The
Weekly Dispatch with regard to the
sinking, said: g..
at is a breach of the armistice
and therefore almost tantamount to
a new act Of war, but at this juno
ture it appears to mean that the Ger
mans intend to sign the peace treaty.
It looks like plan agreed upon in
Berlin"
Commander Kenworthy, I'M. p,
told The Dispatch he did not think
the sinkings were carried out by or
