Epistolary art is lost, Or so the critics say; The time and trouble it would vost Are far too great today. And yet though leagues may separate Two souls all fond and dear, They make, by methods up to ddt", Their sentiments quite clear. The understanding day by day Harsh words will never wreck. For mother sends a post-card gay, And father sends a check. HOME AND MOTHER. AVhlle around this world you wander, foreign countries you may roam, Do you ever think of mother and the girl you left at home? Do you ever think how happy they would be If you would write?. Do you ever think they're, praying for their boy, both day and night? How they watch the mailman as he comes along each day, Drop something in the mailbox and go upon his way. Can you imagine the sorrow they re ceive In place of joy Because there is no letter from their absent sailor boy? You may think you're far away, Or that some misdeed of yours has turned their hearts to clay; You can replace the sorrow you have brought with lasting joy, If you'll only write a letter, and sign, your sailor boy, AVhen you went to serve your coun try, didn't your mother say to you "No matter where you are, my boy, my prayers will follow you?" AVhen you said good-bye to sweet heart, and donned the navy blue Her Heart was filled with sorrow, as she promised to be true. Change your course, old shipmate, write a letter home again. You'll find you're not forgotten, for they love you just tho same, And when your cruise Is over, fill their hearts with pride and joy; Return to home and mother, a noble sailor boy. LIFE IS PRETTY full for tho women of today. The hours fly by, laden with duties and pleas ures (more duties than pleasures is the average). Tho weok is over, the month has gone and before we know another year is written as tho date for our letters. Francesca muses as she turns over the contents of her writing desk: "I don't get as many letters as I did; I wonder why." Probably she doesn't write as many. There are so many other things to take one's attention. Shopping, sewing, She counts them on her fingers. It Is so hard to write there Is never anything to say their interests are no longer mine it is so easy to forget. What of the dear ones loft behind In that far off city? Father, moth er, brothers, sisters, schoolmates, friends how dear they were when she came away! How they remem bered her birthday her Christmas! Here are their letters now. Such a thick pile, but their dates are more than a year old! A few picture pos tals on the top. A little flush comes to her face as she lays aside the package. How often has sho remem bered to write? She can hardly re call when. So much Jias come be tween. New friends, now associa tions and the old are forgotton. It began with tho coming in of tho picture postal. It was so easy to write tho address and then "All well" on the other side, says an ex change. Conscience was satisfied and that particular duty, after striv ing vainly for a hearing, took longer and longer naps, and then wont to sleep. Only sleeping, however, and a vigorous shake will do wonders toward ltd awakening. Francesca may not bo a literary y . J -I fe - .XtfSw-'l&u genius. Her letters may never be gathered from relatives and frlenas for publication. But, when sho will she writes easily and what sho writes Interest those who love her. They love her still, thoso friends who wrote two letters to her one, till, discouraged, they stopped alto gether. It is not for her to say "Write me a letter from home. They are only too ready; only wait ing for her call. If Francesca Is wise sho will not close the desk until at least one let ter Is written, sealed and stampea, ready to mall to tho "old folks at home." If sho is wiser still she will leave the desk open, write a notice somewhere, tie a string around her finger do something to make her remember that tomorrow morning, whether dishes aro washed, floors swept, sewing done, she will sit down again at that desk and write another letter and keep on doing so until conscience Is satisfied and duty done. ' "Family dinners" will he tho lead ing form of entertainment for Thanksgiving next Thursday on Coos Bay. Of course, the guests In nil In stances won't be confined to immedi ate relatives or the family circle so that "Family dinners" indicate more the sumptuousness of the spread than anything cIbo. As Coos Bay dinners have always been noted and their fame been carried far by visitors who have enjoyed them, the Thanksgiv ing feasts hero will bo excelled no where. Of course there will be num erous dancing parties, a football game in the morning at North Bend between tho Marshficld and North Bend high schools, and other di versions but somehow the average person most closely associates a fine dinner with Thanksgiving.

A., libraries, etc. Artistic tags aro printed, genorally Indicating tho purpose for which they aro to bo sold and then the ladies and children on a specified day mako a general canvass and dispose of thom at so much apiece. Everyono is supposed to buy at least ono tag and many buy scores to "help a good thing albng." In addition to tho benefits from the funds raised, much fun is derived from the "Tag Days" by all.
