Th first reel covered the life his

from every, acre of water as from the

He showed two reels of ths bird and

This habit of thrift, whether

not confined to food. Clothing
is an item which promises to
figure largely in the thrift campaign-Mrs.
L. Harper, of 134 East

some valuable testimony regard
ing thrift as applied to cloth

all mediums, the Want Ad esc

Mrs. Harper had an overcoat

and asked the Want Ad man to
sell it for her. So in a diminu

The coat found a new wearer

Mrs. E. J. -Hammond, age 79. a res

no obstacle great enough to keep her
from coming to Camp Lewis to see her
grandson. George Chester, whom she
raised from babyhood.
Mrs. Hammond slipped as she was
boarding the train at Spokane and fell
heavily on her arm. Hiding it beneath
a shawl she was not noticed, but she
suffered tortures during the long ride
over th mountains. Today she ar
rived at Camp Lewis and found her
grandson.
"Don't press me so tight, son," she
whimpered, as he drew her to him,
"my arm hurts so." Then she was
taken to the base hospital, where it
was found that the bones of the fore
arm had been broken.
Mrs. Hammond Is still a patient
there, but she is happy, for she has
seen "her soldier boy. as she calls
young Hammond, who Is allowed to be
with her 4 great part of the time.
