Ernest Sta is trying to find out
who circulated the story or. stories of
his arrest and fine for selling pair
of shoes for $500 that cost him $8.75.
So far he has been unable to locate
the party though he offers money re-
ward for information that will locate
the story-teller. OF course the story
is without foundation of any kind, as
the highest priced shoes he ever sold
or offered for sale is his DR.. Reeds
cushion sole shoe at $500, and the
most expensive ladies' shoes are on
ly $3.50. Probably someone started
the story as a joke, but some people
may believe it and then it would hurt
trade for our merchants and in that
way injure our town.

you are both wrong though
you are partly right. The red
chevron indicates the honorable
discharge of the soldier. The gold
chevron on the left sleeve near
the wrist indicates that the sol
der has served six months over
seas. For the benefit of you and
our other readers we subjoin the
Observation-Disclosures
Chevrons are of four kinds
Rank, wound, service and dis
charge. All are V-shaped. Rank
chevrOns have been worn by non
commissioned officers in the army
from time immemorial. Wound,
service and discharge chevrons
are new.
Rank chevrOns are worn above
the elbow on the left sleeve with
the point up. A lance corporal
has one bar, a corporal two bars,
and a sergeant three bars.
The wound chevron is Of gold,
worn, point down, on the right
sleeve between the wrist and the
elbow. One chevron is worn for
each wound received, but if the
bearer has been wounded more
than once at the same time, he is
allowed but one chevrOn.
Service chevrons are all worn
on the left sleeve between the
wrist and the elbow, with the
points down. A gold chevron in
dicates the wearer has served six
months at the front. An addition
al chevron is worn for each addi-
tional six months.
A sky-blue chevron indicates the
wearer has served less than six
months at the front.
A silver chevron indicates the
wearer has served six months out
side the theater of operations.
An additional chevron is worn
for each additional six months of
service.
Both officers and enlisted men
wear service chevrons.
Discharge chevrons are worn
by enlisted men to show that they
have been honorably discharged
from the service. The discharge
chevron is red, worn, point up,
midway between the elbow and
the shoulder of the left sleeve.

Originally the Easter eggs given to children were real ones, tinted red, purple, green or yellow, or covered with gold leaf. Egg rolling is an old Easter Monday amuse- ment in the north of Europe, and the custom has travelled to America.
