GOVERNMENT TO CLEAN
SOLDIERS UNIFORMS
Salvage Branch of Quartermaster
Corps VIII Look After Repairs
And Cleaning Of Uniforms.

Hereafter the United States Govern
ment will clean and repair the uni
forms and equipment of the National
Guard, through arrangements made
with the Chief of the Militia Bureau
by the Salvage Branch of the Quar-
termaster Corps. In each case the
salvage repair shops at the station
nearest to the National Guard organi-
cation concerned will be utilized.
Major General H. l.. Rogers, the
Quartermaster General of the Army
gavo the various corps area quarter
masters supervision of this work and
distribution of the National Guard
property requiring repair. Quarter
master Corps officers expect a large
saving to the National Guard, as well
as economy in the preservation OF
clothing and equipment, to be brought
about by this radical innovation.
1t is also proposed to furnish laun-
dry service to all students at the COM
ing summer camps for the Reserve Of
ficers' Training Corps. At stations
where the new Government laundries
are available, this service will be rem
dered free for all clothing issued by
the army, and at a nominal charge
for personal effects Of the young men
who have signed up for military train
ing this year.
In further line with the general pol
lev of rigid economy laid down By
Congress, the Quartermaster Corps
has eliminated all unnecessary pur'
chase Of clothing for the army, ant
will hereafter alter sizes Of garments
bought for wartime use, and still OF
hand. This will save the taxpayer
several hundred thousand dollars an
nually, especially for underclothint
and flannel shirts, which can be eco
nomically altered by the salvaging re
pair shops, recently made part OF tn
machinery of the Quartermastel
Corps. 2 IN

When you talk of pure bred cattle
to the average farmer he wants to
throw up his hands and shout ION
my God" and this is where he is
wrong. He gets the ideas from the pa
pers where he sees that bulls have
sold for $4,000 and more and cows for
$4,000 and thinks only OF pure bred
In those figures. He does not stop to
think that he can go into mans herd
and pick out a good pure bred bull, not
the fancy show kind, of course, but
good sire, for rea sonable amount
OF money. 1t Is not necessary for be-
ginner to pay these high prices. Ii Is
true lot Of men go into the raising
OF fancy herds, not so much to make
money but as fad or hobby. But the
farmer who goes into this for living,
his cattle must show him a profit and
he feels he cannot afford to buy these
pure bred bulls. He makes a business
Of this the same as growing tobacco or
corn. In other words, the farmer Ia
like the merchant who carries n line
Of merchandise for two or three years
and when he finds 1t profitable con-
tinues to carry same. The same would
be true of the pure bred for the farm
er. Now in selecting animals for your
herd, unless you have sufficient money
and want to go into the business
quickly, the proper way to buy five or
ten head OF cows and bull BY doing
this your investment is not so big. II
you buy sows that are bred. 1t Is only
a short time until you have a salt, oil

ing demonstrations of this fact that /
have known In long time. The large
bronze tablet, erected in Pelham Bay
Park, to the memory of this second
white woman to inhabit this section
doesn't fall into any ordinary category
OF crime. The Daughters of American
Danes had inscribed the memorial,
"Anne Hutchinson, banished from the
Massachusetts Colony 1888 because Of
her devotion to religious liberty. This
courageous woman sought freedom
from persecution in New Netherlands.

Special Deputy Police Commissioner
John A. Harris, who invented the traf-

Police Department in 1915 at a salary
of 81 year. Recently, having served
three years, he demanded his pay.
Commissioner Enright, according TO
his own story, always ready to save
money for the department, found that
one of the Traffic Divisions light was
not working one evening on the ave-
nue.. so he fined Dr. Harris five years
pay. Consequently the Special Deputy
Commissioner still has two years to

Dollar Days Looming Bio

AS the plans Of the Gardiner Mer-
chants Association and the individual
merchants of the city assume shape
the fact that the residents of Gardi-
ner and vicinity are to have one of
the opportunities of their lifetime
becomes more and more apparent.
One thing is certain, that Gardiner
merchants as we'll as all others in
mercantile line are in for a big loss.
Most of them here feel, quite SEN
sibly. that it is up to them to take
it gracefully and hence the price
cutting, the slashing until we wonder
what is to be left.
If you do not improve the oppor-
tunity you in this great dollar day
carnival that is to occur on Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday of this
week you will miss a real chance to
save dollars.
Watch these pages on Wednesday
for the advs. of the merchants. You
will find the facts just as we tell you.
The prices have been cut to the
quick. Discounts Vary in some
cases as low as so per, cent: in others
but 10 per cent. yet the latter may
be just as good a bargain as the
former.
There is one thing we should like
to impress on the purchasing public

WHAT A DOLLAR
CAN PURCHASE

A dollar can still buy a lot of
things. 1t can be EXCHANGED for
more goods now than it could a year
ago. On the last three days of this
week, the merchants 'of Gardiner are
to show just how far a dollar can
travel and bring back the goods.
Thursday, Friday and Saturday
are, therefore, to be Dollar Days in
Gardiner, as todays FULL page an
nouncement of the merchants of that
city declares.
Business must be stabilized" is the
way the merchants express it. There
is only one way this can be brought
about and that is by having the peo-
pie buy. We want the residents of
Gardiner as well as other places to
buy. We want to sell the goods to
them. and to prove that we are anxi-
Gus to boom and boost trade, the
Dollar Days will be held when bar,
gains the like of which have never
before been provided in Gardiner will
he offered. Much of the stock of the
local dealers, that will be placed on
sale will go at q sacrifice. It will
actually be sold at a loss, because the
market is easing up and we must get
rid of the higher priced goods 1t is
for this reason that the dollar days
are to be held, days when bargains
will surpass any previous bargains.
We want public confidence and BUSH
ness confidence to be maintained. To
do it the relations between buyer and
seller must be of the best. We're GO
ing to chop prices on goods in such
a way that for all it is the tag end
