no letter can be sent to France.
In the relaxation of peace, our
boys want news more than ever. So
many Of them have applied to the
Home Service representative with
their organization for news of home
that an entirely new bureau has been
organized at Washington, Red Cross
headquarters. It is called the Bureau
of Foreign Correspondence, and Mr.
John McCandless is it's director. A
request for information is relayed
through this medium to the Division
Offices. Then a worker is sent to the

Make Large Profits

Less than 10000 boys and girls
in Minnesota's boys and girls clubs
during the season of 1918, grew or
manufactured $441,99O69 worth Of
products at a net profit t. the club
members of $192,112.7O. The actual
totals were probably very much
greater than this as reports from
nearly 10000 boys and girls are yet
to be received. The figures Come
from T. A. Erickson, state leader or
boys and girls club work.

letter sent to- the Home Service Sec
ton at Paris to be deliverd to the
soldier. 1t will tell him about the
new victrola father gave mother for
Christmas, and what color of eyes
sister Mary's baby has. That's the
sort of thing he wants to know.
The Red Cross is unable to for
ward the letter written by his fam
lily to him as all mail addressed to a
soldier must go through the regular
channels. But it can send this report
to the Home Service man over there,
and assures its delivery before the
letters from the home folks catch up.

New Bureau Established

Reports come from some of our
men overseas that they have not
heard from home for months. They
have been away from their units in
hospitals or on leave, or they have
been transferred. In some way their
mail has not reached them.
The most common reason for let
ters not being received by numbers
of overseas men is that the home
folks have addressed them careless

gotten to put a return address in

Some Tables Priceless.

There is tremendous demand today
for old mahogany or oak tables. IL
there are any historic associations at
tached to these tables they bring fabu-
lous prices. There are plenty Of Ia
bles in the country possessing real his
toric interest, but none Of them is in
the least likely at the moment to come
on the open market. The table on
which Napoleon signed his abdication
may be said to be priceless. In Eng
land there is a mahogany table which
tradition says was washed up on the
coast of Glare after the wreck of the
Spanish armada.
