Thursday that they decided to hoof it
to town and take a ride. They are

Through the Independent they had
learned that the wonderful attraction
would be here that day, so the day be-
fore they carefully laid their plans
which they followed to the letter.
Early in the morning they supplied
themselves with cookies and started
on the long journey to town. They
live in the hills twenty miles away
and it was some task to undertake,
but they kept the object of their
journey in mind and travelled almost
constantly from early morning until
4 o'clock when they reached the prom.
ised joy. Their. parents found them
in town, after being alarmed at their
long absence.

world war in which so many Of our
gallant lads entered the service oi
their country and from which many
will never return-is nearing compile
tion SO far as the collection of photo

cerned.
We have put forth our most earnest
efforts to make this book a success
and in this many of you have been
of valuable assistance. We have made
one long, continuous attempt to i'm
press the value of this book upon our
citizens, and in many instances have
failed. But there are those to whom
the book will be. priceless; it is price
less to the fathers, mothers and dear
est friends of the boys who will never
return; it is priceless to the boys
themselves who answered the call and
are left to enjoy this memento of their
deeds; it is priceless to every true
patriotic citizen to thoseswho were ac-
tive in home work service, in Red
Cross and liberty loan campaigns, and
these are the ones who say: Save
me one book; l don't care what it
costs-I must have one"
We are not taking advantage of
the enthusiasm of these. We have
no intention to make fortune from
this book, the publication of which is
costing us thousands of dollars, but
to hand down in the years to come
perpetual piece of our hand
work of which we are justly proud.
There is no doubt that we shall be
proud of this magnificent book. We
are taking orders for only such books
as we have orders for at the time of
going to press. There will be no ex-
