 Dear Sir:-I have been here for several days and have met a great many of the men from the flying forces who are here awaiting transportation to the U. s.
 They are as fine a bunch of boys as I ever saw. I have made numerous inquiries in regard to your boy and the replies have been unanimous in their praise of his courage and ability that am sorry you could not have heard them at first hand, and have met his associates. Many times I have been proud to be fAom the same town and state as Lieutenant Luke, and want you to know it.
 I am so sorry he will not return to you, but if a man was so destined 1 am sure he could not have deserved a more glorious death nor greater place in the memory of his associates and friends.
 Yours Sincerely,

DORIS LEHMAN FIRE
 Is QUICKLY CHECKED

Fire which broke out in the small mattress room on the third floor of the Doris -Heyman furniture company huilding at First and Adams streets shortly before o'clock last night was extinguished by the fire department before doing any material damage. AL 'housh three fire companies responded to the alarm, only a small chemical ex- inguisher was used in putting out the flames.
 Prompt action on the part of the
 mployes in the mattress department, where the fire began, in shutting oil the room in which the blaze occurred, effectively checked the flames until the arrival of the fire department. The blaze is thought to have been caused by spontaneous combustion.

At the end of the fiscal year this

The surprising feature of this is
that the town in which this store is
