"Tisn't the size of
a plug that counts,"
says Jim. "It's the
way it tastes and
how it lasts. A
couple of squares of
Real Gravely keeps
me satisfied."
Good taste, smaller

what makes Genuine

Poet Exchanges Overseas Aro
Taken Over by the Mili

Asserting that the valuable aid ren
dered by the war service of the Y. M.
C. A. had been a large factor in tho
Anal great accomplishments of tha
American army, General Pershing, in
a communication to E. C. Carter, ia
charge of association operations with
the American Expeditionary Forces,
pays a splendid tribute to the work
which this agency accomplished under
extreme dilicultics and handicaps.
"The Y. M. C. A. served the army bet
ter than could have been expected,"
says General Pershing.
At its own request the American T.
M. C. A. has beeu relieved from main
taining post exchanges with the Ex
peditionary forces overseas, the need
for such service having been relieved
with the signing of the armistice. Cor
respondence exchanged between Gen
eral Pershing and E. C. Carter, in
charge of the Y. M. C. A. with the
array, resulted in this decision. Car
ter wrote to General Pershing January
29th as follows:
Dear General Pershing:
A year and a half ago you re
quested the Y. M. C. A. to under
take operations for post exchanges
for the American Expeditionary
Forces in order that "officers and
enlisted men may not be taken
away for that purpose from their
paramount military functions of
training and Egbtiiier."
As soon as hostilities ceased we
raised with you the question
whether time had not come for the
Y. M. C. A. to be relieved of the
operation of post exchanges in
view of the fact that there was no
longer the same pressing demand
on man power of the army for
training and flghtins. When we
first raised the question with you
it did not appear to you that it wa3
feasible in the bast Interests of
maximum service to the army that
a change be made. Now the situ
ation is materially altered.
Recent general orders from main
headquarters and requests from
commanding officers have laid on
the Y. M. C. A. increased responsi
bilities in promoting educational,
athletic and en? ?rtp.'-irr,ent activi
ties in the Am'rian Expeditionary
Force. This is placing a rapidly
increasing bv.rian upon our per
sonnel. The army Is also now pre
prring for the delivery of all sup
plies for post exchanges which
he-ct'-fore hao been imported,
manufactured and delivered by the
Y. M. C. A.
In view of the changed situation
I wish to know whether you do not
think It would be possible for the
army at a very early date to as
sume full responsibility for the

throughout the American Expedi
tionary Force?
Very cordially yours.
(Signed) E. C. CARTER.
General Pershing immediately acted
upon the suggestion made by Carter
and relieved the Y. M. C. A. of its task
of maintaining the post exchanges. He
said:
My Dear Mr. Carter:
I have received your letter of
January 29th . asking whether, In
view of present changed situation,
it would be possible for the army
to assume full responsibility for
maintenance of nost exchnni;es
throughout American Expedition
ary Force.
As you correctly state, the Y. M.
C. A. undertook the management
of post exchanges at my request at
a time when it was of greatest Im
portance that no available soldier
should be taken away from vital
military functions of training and
fighting. As reasons which im
pelled me at that time to request
you to undertake this work no
longer exist, I am glad to approve
your suggestion In reaching this
conclusion. Conslrf-ratlon has been
given to new burdens In connec
tion with enter.alnment, athletic
activities and education that you
have assumed. I have accord
ingly given di:ecttons that army
units themselves take over and
operate their own post exchanges.
In making this change permit me
to thank you for the very valuable
services and arslstnnce which the
Y. M. C. A. ha rendered to the
Ameriran Expeditionary Force In
handling these exrhnni:.s. Handi
capped by shortage of tonnage mid
land transportation the Y. M. C. A.
has, by o-etra evrtlon, served the
army better than could have buen
expected, and you may be assured
that its aid has been a large fac
tor In the final great accomplish
ments of the American army.
Very cordially yours.

Anne was cross. More than that, she
was discouragiid. More than that, sho
was blue. And she hud, so she told
herself, the very best reason lu the
world for being all three.
And that reason was, of course a
man. A most exasperating, irritating,
fascinating, good-looking, likable
young man. In other words, It was
Bob llurwood, who had been coining
to see her so long and so steadily that
all the other boys In town had "dropped
off."
"I know he means to propose." she
said wnithfiilly, not addressing anyone
in particular, and she slammed her
book Into the corner.
"I thought Inst night that he was
Just on the verge of saying something
but then I've thought that a dozen
times before now and nothing ever
came of It !"
She got out of the hammock and
picked up the nmch-despised book. "I
suppose I might Just as well finish my
story," she said half aloud, "it's a good
one, too but every time I think of Bob
Hnrwood It makes me so angry I can't
even read."
The afternoon wore on, and Anne
was aroused from her reading by the
cheery whistle of the gray lmlred post
mun.as he came up the path on his
afternoon rounds.
"Anything for me, Mr. llobbs?" sho
culled out gayly.
"Only one letter, Nannie." he called
back, for the old man had known Anne
since her pinafore and pigtail days,
and they were great friends.
"Why, It 'pears to me like It's your
Aunt Martha's writing," said the old
man, scrutinizing the letter cloxely.
"Wonder what she's got to be wrltlns
about?" he observed, as he handed
over the missive, and he stood therw
waiting to hear the news. For wasn't
he postman and as such expected to
know who got letters and where they
were from anj what they were
about? That was Mossvllle etiquette,
established of old, and fur he It from
S.lns Hobbs to neglect his duty In this
regard.
"You must be a mind render, Mr.
Hobbs," said Anne, glancing through
her letter. "It Is from Aunt Martha,
and sho wants me to come and spend
a week with her.
"Now, you take my advice, Anne,
and go right along," said the old man.
wisely shaking his hend. "You know
what you've told me 'bout a certain
young man well, thls'll be Just the
thing. If I was you, I'd go right up
and get ready now, and I wouldn't
say nothln' about It, neither. Take
my advice now, nnd run along and
pack. You Just stay up nt the farm
for a week or ten days, und don't
write him a word, and I guess that'll
bring him to his senses If anything
ever will." .
"Why, I do think that you are right,
Mr. Ilohbs. It's the very Ihlng," said
the girl, getting quite excited ot the
thought of running nwny.
Mary, the maid, was Just finishing
her work for the day.
"I'm going uway for a week or so,
Mnry," said Anne, as she entered tho
spotless kitchen where Mary reigned
supreme, "but It's to be a (lead secret,
and If you'll come up and help me paelc
before you go nut, so that I can get
away, I'll give you my purple hat that
you liked so much."
"Oh, thank you. Miss Anne," said
Mary, "and Indeed I'll help you." )
So they parked, and when all win
done, Mary went off to prepare for ber
"evening out"
