The gifts received by a soldier are usually a surplus of sweaters, some linen collars and some fearful and wonderful samples of socks. Straw hats even find their way into training 4camps. Sizes don't seem to cut much figure, either, in this class of gifts. But candy and smokes are always welcome. The Smileage books are not expensive. They allow a sol- dier to attend movie pictures fn the Liberty Theaters of the cantonments. These shows run a couple of hours. The books can be used at any time and afford a great deal of entertain- ment and recreation for the fortunate possessed The cost is small, and any one interested should *ee W. Z.

It is stated that 5,000 miles of telephone wire were laid in the St. Mihiel salient and along its borders by the Americans before their attack on the salient. When the battle opened, trucks laden with wires started -north, unreeling the wires through No-Man's-Land, and 6,000 telephone instruments, were ,used to connect these wires in the battle zone. The telephones were also supplemented by several thousand carrier pigeons. When the American army wants information it gets it. HERE'S DRIVE THAT'S WORTH WHILE. Now that there is considerable improvement being made in the business district and also that stocks for winter are arriv- ing, many nails are finding their way into sidewalks and out onto the pavement. We have long had a habit of picking up all nails discovered by us, and also anything that would punc- ture an auto tire, and would respectfully suggest that all auto owners do likewise and all others see that they are not careless in allowing nails and tacks to get onto the -pavements. WHY DEFACE COURT HOUSE LAWN? It would seem from the movement inagurated by the park board for the inprovement of lawns and parkings of the city, that foot ball on the court house lawn might come under the ban. It certainly won't add to the attractiveness of the grounds and it might not inconvenience anybody to abolish the use of the lawns for gridiron pratice. In November we shall probably have two million soldiers in France. Your contribution to the Fourth Liberty Loan will help provide them with food, clothing and shelter. Subscribe to your limit.

OmOXAX. COUHTT ABO OSTT PBOOSEBXVGS IN ECLIPSE. Occasionally our metropolitan newspapers make casual mention of the deaths of French deputies on the western front. There were two more in the first week of September. The items are generally in some obscure corner of the back pages, and consist of six or eight line paragraphs. In French papers they get more space, but not much. Deputies shouldering rifles are numrous, and to become illustrious each must acquit himself illustriously in battle. It is not easy to shine pre-eminently when so many do their best. Yet it is unfair to say that the French belittle the func- tions of a legislator. Circumstances have combined to cause a readjustment of values. They have ruled that ah average ^man with a bayonet is more important than an average deputy, ^congressman or parliamentarian. Many who have answered the 45 year draft call should find a deep contentment herein. There are those who do not hope to attain even the dignity of a congressman, and yet feel that experience has given them executive capacity and aptitude in specialized lines of endeavor which would be wasted in the trenches. But if they have the supreme quality of physical soundness, and do not include in their makeup something pe- culiarly necessary to military or industrial establishment here at home, they are likely to find themselves in training camps. They will be in good company. The elect representatives of the French people measure up to the standards of eloquence and political sagacity maintained in American and English leg- islative bodies, but rhetoric and electioneering dexterity are surprisingly easy to dispense with when wars are to be won. Many gifts of mind are at present subordinate in importance to strong limbs and sound digestions.' There is cer- itwt\mm*u j.SW^fJirjtj V'l] NEWS AND LETTERS FROM BELTRAMI CO.

SASH IS ONI REQUIREMENT No Frock Is Modish Without the Pop. ular AdornmentGingham More Exclusive Than Ribbon. No gingham or calico frock may count itself truly modish sans a sash of its own material. Much, much more exclusive is a gingham sash than one of ribbon! The sash is made of two strips of the fabric, seamed up around the edges, and usually the ends are cut In points or ovals. Such a sash falls just below the hip, one end over the other, a small butterfly bow being tied at the back of the waistline. Sometimes the sash is part of the sur plice fronts of the bodice sometimes It is quite separate from the frock. Next in favor to the modest ging ham is printed cotton or percale, and It makes a charming gown, especially when the material is spotted or striped. One of the virtues of plaid gingham Is the delightful way in which it com bines with plain materials. Fqr sport wear a frock of gingham may be made very chic by the plain one-tone trim mings, or the jacket or Russian blouse may be of the plain materials, while the skirt and blouse trimmings may be of the plaid. COAT THAT ASSURES SERVICE Every woman with a sense of cjotheS that instantly recognizes a beautiful achievement in any aarjnent, will ad mire the coat pictured here.
