PEOPLE'S CASH MARKET The Herald, $2.00 Per Year Poet Exchanges Overseas Aro Taken Over by the Mili ' tary Authorities 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 $ ?. " s ; 4 I '&!

General Collardet yid Secretary Baker are lu the picture maintenance of post exchanges 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. (Signed) JOHN J. PKK3HIN0. FOR SALE-Practlcally new range now selling for $80, for $60.

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" Down the street that evening saun tered Mr. Robert Harwood. lie hid de rided to call upon Anne.

Just then the door opened and dowa the ateps lightly tripped a young wom an. He would have reeogolied Anao anywhere by the purple hat that she wore.
