selves to their local boards.
"This office is without an appro
priation to pay for thin advertising,
but the patriotism of the American
press is relied upon to aid in every
way In their power.
"The military duty and training of
these skilled men will be Interesting,
and the men who succeed In secur

THREE SONS ON
THE TUSCANIA
San Francisco Woman
Gave Country Three!
Soldiers-One Lost
With Torpedoed
Transport. -
TWO SONS SENT TO
FKENCH FJK0NT
rde
Mrs. Louise Moore of 139 First ave
nue, San Francisco, knows the mean
ing of war. In the front window of
per home a service flag shows three
tars. Three of her sons answered the
call to colors.
I And when the Tuscanla was torpw
!doed, with the loss of more than one
hundred American lives, her eldest
on, William Moore, made the great
jiacriflce for his country. On the rocky
.coast ol Ireland 'he lies burled In the
brave whloh enfolds others of his corn
ea In arms.
The other two sons of Mrs. Moore,
who were also on the Tuscanla, are
listed among those saved. The Joy
ver their safety has been tempered
mly by the grief which followed the
proru oi ry ini.ui . poising.
"I told those boys I was sorry that
there was occasion to go to war," said
Mrs. Moore, smiling through the an-;
Bulsh that was her portion In the days'
following the Tuscanla disaster. "But
I told them also," she added with a
triumphant smile, "that If our country
was worth living In and enjoying when
things were going along smoothly, It;
was certainly worth fighting for when,
It was In trouble."
That Is the spirit of American
motherhood In these days of trial and
Sacrifice. "Our country has not asked
much of Its young people in the way
of sacrifice," said Mrs, Moore. "Things'
have been fairly, easy for, most of the1
boys and girls of this generation. Now
jit is their time to show how they have
appreciated all that has been given to
them."
Mrs. Moore has two other sons, one
of draft age, and the other old enough
to enlist but not old enough to be
drafted. -
"Now they're crazy to go," said the
brave little mother whose service flag
already has one haloed star.
"Do you know the last thing the
three boys did before they left?" she
asked with motherly pride. "They all
bought Liberty Bonds, and said they
would leave the rest of that work to
us. Now we know what we can do."
HARD TCT CHEAT FATHER TIME
Wise Is the -Man Who Appreciates
Value of Punctuality, and Great
Is His Reward.
A young Kentucklun has lost a big
fortune by being 20 minutes late In
keeping a business engagement.
The cheerless old fellow with the
scythe always gets all that Is coming
to him. And there is many a bad scar
on our fortunes where he. has had to
prod us up to the mark.
Time is cheap, and we are apt to
think we can filch it as we will. But
It Is always ourselves we rob, not time.
Maybe you can waste your own time
by being late In keeping engagements
and feel that the loss, if any. Is your
own affair. But it is also the affair of
the man you keep waiting. You waste
his time, too. If your time is worth
less, maybe his Is not. Be may con
clude that his time is worth more to
blm than yon are.
In many cases It may not matter
much. But one never knows uutil af
terward whether it matters or not
And through false politeness we are
usually assured that it does not matter
even when It does.
Only the Idle and careless, whose
time Is of least value, can afford to
waste It by looseness In keeping en
gagements. It may be hard to acquire the fixed
habit of always being on time, but It
can be done, and it is worth while to
do It
Great business men have this habit
Men of great affairs, whose time Is
most completely taken up, are usually
on time. It Is they who know best the
value of time and the Importance of
saving It by being prompt Christian

War Prices Shot to Pieces. Entire Stock of Fisher's Dept. Store Goes On
PUBLIC SALE
Just at a time when our merchants'are reaping their harvest of profits, and rightat a time of war,
when the price of merchandise, Especially Dry Goods, Shoes, Coats and Furnishings, are going
sky-high in price, we place our entire stock on public sale and sacrifice every article to close out all
Men's Furnishing Goods and reduce this stock at least half before moving into our new store -Merchandise
is not only going higher and higher, in price every day; it is going to be scarce, in fact
there will be no woolen goods to be bought next year. The advance prices will be prohibitive and
there is no telling what kind of goods you will be able to buy or what unreasonable prices you will
be compelled to pay, so by all means take advantage of this mighty sale, figure out your, present and
future needs, and buy as you never did before. Now Remember, the time is short, tor on May 1st
we move into our new location in the next block, now occupied by Wilder & Agee. Under no cir
cumstance would we advertise a sale at this time, but our new location will not hold half our present
stocks, and for that reason only we must and will sell $15,000 worth of this new and up-to-date
merchandise before moving into our new location.
