We quote him: “If I had but one thing to tell the folks back home I would say, WRITE! “I know how precious are the letters from home to these lads? They read them over and over again. They carry) them around with them until the pages are torn and frayed and fall to pieces. Any one back home who knows any one over here should write regularly and should write cheery, snappy letters. “Some of these lads have been over for some time, and they think how far it is across the ocean, and it makes them blue. A cheery letter is what they need. A bunch of snap- shots of the home folks, of the home, friends of the bunch where they worked, is what pleases these boys. They carry the photographs with them until they are all crumpled up and as soon as they warm up to another fellow they show them and the other fellow says how nice they are, and the homesick boy gets a smile back on his face. : “Please ask the folks who read your paper to write to every boy over here they know.” And so the editor asks you. | Yes, we know the fathers and mothers and sisters of some boys write often, but how about the boy who has no parents living, no sisters and no other relatives to write him? There are plenty of these. Anyhow, the fellows over there would like to get letters from their friends back home. Thanksgiving Day is coming, and you'll have much to} be thankful for, chief among these being the victory they) are winning over there. Can you make them thankful that. day for the letters you will write NOW and next week and the next? The weather bureau declares that big gun dis- charges, battle explosions and concussions do not affect the weather. The weather, however, is affecting the prosecution of the war—not unfavorably to the allies, either, according to the headlines! ! Fight Shy of the Corset, Men! Thinking of conserving steel, the war industry board is highly doubtful if corset-making is an essential industry, and contemplates putting it out. Jerusalem! Isn't the suffrage racket hot enough and big enough, without raising a corset issue? And we warn the war board that there’s no steel conservation in a cru- sade against any metal contraption that’s dear to the feminine heart. , We remember that, way back in our boyhood, there was a war on the corset, and it was largely a whalebone instrument of contortion, at that. Ministers prayed and preached against the corset, as immoral. Physicians cussed/ and kicked against it as unhealthful, and the unprofessional he folks stood around and abused it as deceitful. Did the war on corsets conserve whalebone? Not on) r life. Did woman, with high appreciation of morality,’ ealth and honesty of appearance, discard it? She certainly did not. She went to wearing a “pannier,” or “bustle,” to boot. She put on Class A, No. 1 defiance, she did. She put on whalebone, fore and aft, till she couldn’t sit down on a chair without doing an immoral trapeze act, or get up over a curb stone save on her hands and knees, and there wouldn't be a whale with a bone in him today had not the men let up on trying to run her wearings. We don’t know how much steel there is in a present- day corset, by a pound or a ton, but we'll bet our head that if any he board of war conservation tries to take out what there is, there'll be more of it, and probably also platinum, copper, tungsten and other necessary war metals. Gents of the war industry board, avoid the corset! Politics ain't what they used to be! Here's United States Senator Kenyon actually proposing a budget sys- tem to avoid waste of public funds! Those Golden Stars In every home where flies the service flag with a golden star, and in every home to which the golden star may come, mother and father and all should read what) Abraham Lincoln wrote to a civil war mother: | “T have been shown in the files of the war department} a statement of the adjutant general of Massachusetts that you are the mother of five sons who died gloriously on the field of battle. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thoughts of the republic they died to save. I pray our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereave- ment, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved} and the lost and the solemn pride that must be yours to| have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom.” | Mastery of retreat we concede to the Hun; but look he: at the practice he’s had. | Keep Car Windows Open Still they keep shutting the street car windows. | Saturday Chief of Police Warren instructed mounted policemen and traffic officers to stop all street cars having fewer than one-third of the windows open. This was done in several score of cases but street car, platform men claim that when their cars moved on again, the passengers once more shut the windows after the po- licemen were out of sight. In one instance of stubbornness it is related a traffic officer broke a window open with ihs club rather than stall traffic while arguing with a remon- strative passenger who feared colds worse than influenza. In Portland the car company has torn out all windows and thus saved arguments. The death toll from influenza is mounting in Seattle. We must keep street car windows open and obey the health department instructions in every particular. Instead of silver lining, the Germans will soon find the clouds are lined with American airplanes. éo Tell your troubles to Foch, is now the order of the | Yo ' | quent headaches THE | STARSHELLS | A REGULAR BIRDMAN “T supe flying for wecond nature “Rather!

Dear Mr. President: As a loyal American, I am writing to ex- press to you my deep appreciation of the manner in which you have thus far set forth to the world the war aims of the United States. Your reply to the Austrian peace proposal and your message directed to the German chancellor met with my heartiest approval. My earnest hope is that, as the conflict moves into increasingly decisive stages, it be made clear to the enemy and to the world that America insists on the unconditional surrender of the German imperial government before hostilities shail cease.
