Read what the National Council of
Defense requests of the merchants In
order to conserve the manpower of
the country.
The six rules laid down for the're-'
tail trade to follow are given:
Retail Interests are not to increase
their working forces by reason of the
holiday business "over the average
forces employed during the year.
Normal working hours will not be
lengthened during the Christmas
season. '
Retailers will use their utmost ef
forts to confine Christmas giving, ex
cept for young children, to useful ar
ticles. Every effort will be made to spread
the period for holiday purchasing
over the months of October, Novem
ber, and December.
Deliveries will be restricted and
customer's will be asked to carry
their own packages wherever pos
sible. Announcements of the new policy
will be made by retailers In their
newspaper advertisements,
Begin Your Christmas
Buying Now
f
The request , of the Government is that we spread the Holliday Shopping over the
months of November and December, since the shortage of help makes it almost impossible
to increase the selling force. Also it requests that, except for young children, useful gifts
only be given. ; .

SOLDIERS' LETTERS
Sept. 14. 1918.
Mrs. A. C. Spencer,
Ashland, Orel
Dear Mother and all: Once more
1 am to the attack. I have just re
turned from another fine trip and
will soon be very busy helping to
write up the report, which Is in re
ality the most difficult part of this
Job. Every act has to be so minute
ly recorded because these reports are
a matter of permanent record. This
time I did not go so far and was
with the superintendent all the time
nnd we sure did get a lot done that
will be an extremely valuable asset
to our entire system of mall..
We handled more letters than
there are people in Portland, so you
ee we were busy. We compare our
report tonight and go on another
little hike tomorrow. We are then
going out on a two weeks' trip that
will cover the entire division in a
big Cadillac car.
Last Wednesday I was roaming
around a little town In a bis: car and
saw Colonel J. L. May walking along
the street. Immediately proceeded
to dismount and give the counter
sign. I said to him, "Sir, Lieut.
Spencer of Ashland, Oregon, reports
for conversation." Gosh, the way
ho grabbed me would do your heart
good. He said, "Spencer, you look
as natural as an old shoe." Gee,
mother, it didn't make any differ
ence if there were several grades be
tween our ranks. We did have a
homey visit. I met a lot of other
officers that I knew in Oregon and
had a great time. Sure is good to
meet the "old Scouts from home."
Right here I ask, Isn't there any
Ashland nurses who have come over
here? If so, please find out what
unit they are with, so I can locate
them. Met a whole bunch from Cali
fornia about three weeks ago. Great
doings. Good old western talk. It
seems that there ought to be some
nurses over here from the home
town, and if so, it is highly proper
we should make acquaintance on ac
count of the long distance. All are
from home.
The best bunch that I have found
over here are from Chicago. They
certainly have been good to me
and about every week or so I write a
blanket letter to them. I learned, in
a roundabout way, that my letters
are put up on the bulletin board for
all of them to read. It's great to

STATE BANK OP ASHLANP
Harold Simpson, who is with the
65th regiment in France, sends some
real thrilling war news that has
come under his personal notice in
the following letter to his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Simpson:
Sept. 30.
Just time enough to write an
other short letter, as I have a little
while off this afternoon. This sta
tionery I have carried many moons,
hence its fine "muddy" appearance.
We are now "marking time" await
ing orders.
This has been "some" month. It
was the 29th of August we started to
the coast after trucks. That was a
great trip, clear across France by
train and back by truck. It would
take volumes to tell of that trip,
so I'll pity the censor a little and
try and keep the details clear in my
mind, for the future. That trip end
ed behind the lines and that's where
I am now only In a different place
from where we first were. I've had
my little bit to do In a couple of
"celebrations," but I don't want you
to worry. If I had been In the same
then there would have been cause to!
be nervous.
It s surely "great to watch a
long column of German prisoners
marching by. I saw two different
grqups of 1500 each, all pleased with
their luck, for It means good eats
relative position on the German side
and a place to sleep for the dura
tlon of the war. The first bunch
were boys, cripples and old men, but
the second were a better class of
soldiers and well equipped.
The boys all have souvenirs of
some kind or other helmets, belts,
buttons, etc. Some of them found an
old phonograph in an old dugout
and we have music now all the way
from "The Poet and the Peasant" to
"Oh Eliza, little Liza Jane." How
ever It sounds good In these wilds.
There is so much to tell It seems
a shame to stop, but I must. Per
haps I'll be able to write more.
Love, HAROLD.
