That everything displayed in the

Is it any wonder that the enterpris

when their stock is so well selected,
so well displayed, so well advertised
and so nunlerately priced.

11, R. Patterson of Portland was
in Independence this week visiting
his parents and friends.
Wm. Cockle Sr. and Mr. and Mrs.
W. H. Cockle returned this week
from Washington where they attend

partially distributed bits o f shrapnel
from your works. The wouuds have
healed. The wheels go 'round again,
and the clock ticks.
But It doesn’t keep correct time.
This business of calling “ Time 1” on
the Boche means so many broken clocks
nowadays that the master-menders
can’t keep them on their tables after
they’re mended. So the question where
they shall sit around while they’re be
ing regulated looms large.
The Red Cross answers that ques
tion with Its convalescent homes. It
has six o f these In operation. A suit
able place Is found—sometimes do
nated—and management and equip
ment are provided by the Red Cross,
while the Army has furnished disci
pline and a never-falling supply e f con
valescents.
These homes mean that men who
are scarcely hospital subjects, yet who
can by no means go back to their du
ties, have a place that does what
"home” does for the French or Eng
lish soldier, what "home" does for
any one, In fact, when the doctor gets
through.
You know.
He says: “ You're all
right now. It’s only a matter o f nurs
ing and food.”
But you know he’s only looking at
the works he's tinkered, and that the
soul within you Is grousing as It never
did when the body was down nnd out
It wants something, and it doesn’t
know what It Is. But If It doesu't get
It pretty quick the works are going to
get gummed again. You know your
mother could find out what that dog
gone thing Is right away and hand It
to you on a plate. But General Per
shing won't let you go to her. • • •
And the War Department wou’t let her
come to you
Then you're .aken to a Red Cross
convalescent home—and there Is the
very thing you wanted 1 But you
couldn’t describe It even thes to save
your life.
It Is a bit o f coddling, and pretty
surroundings, and women s faces, nnd
light laughter and time to play and all
that sort o f thing It Is forgetting the
crash o f war and remembering that
there are pleasanr, soft voices. It’s
even such things as gaily-flowered sofa
pillows to Jam Into a corner and mnke
a nice lolling place while you read
and smoke and alk. It's slippers In
stead o f treuch boots, or day-dreams
In place o f the nightmare o f killing.
