J., are scores of tons of personal bclonKinics u' American sol diers who peiinlujd on the battle fipld 0)r In the hospituls ahroud. Mute testimonials of valor, they have been sent to this country,.. but thus far have gone unclaimed, though every effort is mnde by the ''cffectH bureau" to return the things .to friends or relatives. When a soldier dies his personal ef fects are collected, sent .to French headquarters and shipped to this coun try. Letters are Bent at once notify inp relatives' and requesting instruc tions about fonvarding them. Strange as it may seem, muny of these letters of inquiry urc never answered, though apparently delivered. Others are re turned as -incorrectly, addressed, the family having moved or the boy him self having given n wrong address a .thing which ha happened in thou sands of cases and caused infinite trou bles in many army departments since the war started. 'Most touching of all, perhaps, arc the ef facia of the iippniontly friendless boy who either had no one to rlaim his things or who went away in youth .Xy I pride or anger, leaving no word by iWhich his people can bo traced. Many of the articles are of . littlo nioney value; yet they would be infin itely precious to grieving hearts, r'uin Ilies that have received no word con cerning the personal belungiugs left by a well loved lad could at lca.st noti fy the burenu, and quite possibly got trace of things they would cherish. It would bo worth the effort, and helpful tv the men whone aim is to return ev ery possible bit of this pathetic sal vage. , NEW VOILE BLOUSES; .. : .

Ono of the greatest benefits the country ban received from the war is the growth of the community idea. Community interest bus developed out of community of label-. A new seiiue of common social re MponHiliility came the euceeHsful operation of the so jc;ul centers in anil near the training camps. It is generally felt th-it the center should lit'come u greater faetol j iu the social life of the Motor Trucks Need Good ' Roads. One of the things which will help develop good roads in all parts of the country is the rapid increase in the use of motor trucks. The motor trucks have come to stny and they fill a place in the transportation schemo that cannot be neglected. .Senator Pierce's bill for a tax of one mill for market roads . went through in a hurry. This Is nn Insig nificant tax as compared with the benefit of primary1 market ronds. The one mill tax will not build the roads needed, but it is a start in the direc tion that will lend inevitably to some thing better. Because 'this is a kind of improvement that is needed nml fits into the general scheme of ad-, vnncing civilization. ; The motor truck effectually con nects the smaller centers and even the individual fnrnis with the railroads. They do this when thore is a suitable track to travel on nt all seasons. Mo tor Itucks and good highways nre ns of our civil rule, from tho town meet ing to the natio'nul capital, is yours Your every voter, ns surely us your chief magistrate, under the same hiijh sanction, though in a different sphere, exercises a public trust. Nor is this all. Every citizen owes to tho country a vigilant watch and close scrutiny of its public servants and a fair and rea sonable estimate of their fidelity and usefulness.." Thus js the .people's will impressed upon the whole framework of our civil polity municipal, slate and federal; and this is the price of our liberty and the inspiration of our faith in the republic.

Some People Lose Money . By concealing it about their person; by stowing it away in mugs, jugs and jars; by sewing it up in skirts and ticks; by tupking it away under couches and carpets, in cupboards and bureau drawers.
