Turner, Klmwoori, Okla. Dear Ft lends: I received your let ter oi iuny ib ana was very fjiail you wrote mo, thus giving me your ad dress, making It possible for mo to carry out a mutual agreement be tween Itornola and myself, namely, the writing to the others' parents in csv" one of us fell in action. Ilernoln and 1 enlisted the same day in Denver, were in the same drill section on Marc Island, went to quar ters and were on the viflo range to gether. It wns when I'd Overton was transferred to some other detail at quarters that we fell together. From tlien on wo were always together. In fact, in the name squad, under the came pup tent or in the same dug out, as the case happened to ho, ex cepting tho time I was laid up in the hosnital. Naturally, as the time went by wo became more or less familiar with encli other's past life, homo folks, etc. He got n letter while in the lines once, asking nbout his "bunkic." Ho later showed me what you Bald, say ing ho had given you my name. That is why i had been expecting to hear from you. I will try to tell you a litle that happened befora the oattlc of Chnm paigne, that you may h,ettcr under stand. We came out of the front lines at St. Miliicl about tho ICth of Sep tember and after two days in tho woods, waiting to be entirely relieved from that sector. I was evacuated to the base hospital with dipthcria. Wc parted with tho usual "good-bye and fjood luck," expecting to be together n a short time. Duiing the war in the hospitals it wns practically impossible to get mail, so I heard nothing more of the company, except rumors, until Octo ber 29, when I was again able to re join them. It took sonic little time to find somebody I knew. They had suffered very heavy casualties on the Cham paigne front (-19 men left in the com pany) and had been replaced by new men from the states. This is tho story told me by the men who were left after the battle the men that went over the top with him, also tho first aid man who dicsscd his wound. On the night of October 1 the 9Cth confpany took up a position in tho fiont line trenches, nbout a half mile northwest of Somme-Py, France. Our position, which had been captured by the French troops that morning from the Germans, was a bad one. So on tho evening cf October 2 we were ordered to go over the ton and take some outpost positions belonging to the Germans in order to straighten out tho line in the preparation for the big drive which took place Octo ber 3. The order to go over the top was given. We were met by heavy ma chine gun fire from the enemy. A number of the boys, including Der nola, was hit by machine gun bullets. licrnola was hit just below the heart when about fifty yards from our trenches. He walked back down to the trench without aid and was immediately dressed by our first aid and put on a stretcher. Ho seemed to have plenty of strength. When one of the men asked him how he was, he said, "Oh, I am all right; am hit pretty hard just below the heart, but guess I will pull through all right." He was soon taken 10 the rear in an ambulance and died before reach ing a base hospital. I am writing the Graves Kcgistra tioa Biueau of the A. E. F. to find out exactly where he was buried, which I will let you know later. My home address is COS W. Michi gan Ave., Tampa, Fla. However, I havo spent mos tof my time at Obcr lln, Kansas, where I will return when I am discharged. I will more than likely be able to pay you a visit on my return. I at least hope I will be able to do so. Bcrnola was as a brother to me and 1 iiope that if there is anything that I hnve not told that vou wish to know, you will feel perfectly free to write roc. binccreiy yours, ARCHIE M. VALE, Pvt. A. M.

Every progressive bank in the na tion is cnnatnntlv ttrrrtmr thn .nl.Wn to get in the habit of saving and paying off its debts. Contrary to tho opinion of many, a banker is not in terested in having a customer loaded down with debts. Owing debts, and being a borrower ut n bank are two diirercnt tilings. A banker extends credit to enable business tn lin O'irrln.1 rn In nn.. way this is a debt, but it is a vastly dillcrcnt debt from tho kind owed by a man who simply fnils to meet his obligations for lack of systematic sav ing. A bank must loan money to live, but it wants to loan, to people who save. The day of the Shylock is Massed ns thn mndorn linnl Yvtnat II, n from prosperous and not bankrupt i;uiiiiiiuill(.ics.

In smaller cities and town the volume of building Is still low. Tho masses of tho people, nre nlno fam Hies out of ten aro not ablo or willing to pay war wages.
