"The Salvation Army was born In
hardship, reared In privation and
trained to every phase of human rals

that accounts in some degree for the
success our work has attained and for
which we are thankful.
" We are of the common people, and
we toll on a practical basis. We learn-
a me lesson or now to do it In the
Boer war, when we stood at the side
of Britain's troops and weathered it
out to the end. We have been tried

the Salvation Army to do the thing
they would like to do for their men if
they but had the chance. .
"With 1,210 trained workers at the

of Mother, Friends and :
' ' Home for Soldiers.
Ten young officers of the Student
Army Training Corps of the Universi
ty of Detroit recently applied for a
furnished bouse and a housekeeper
who would not be a servant, but, as
one young officer expressed it, "the
sort of woman .to whom the boys can
all out 'Hello, mother I' when they
come in the front door." '.
Homesickness is the malady for
s which War Camp Community Service
supplies innumerable cures. .

of the three hundred towns scattered
over the country. While he's wonder

self when he gets there, not knowing a
soul in town and with a limited per
centage of his "thirty per" In his pock

from the local branclVof his own lodge
announcing a reception that night es
pecially for soldier members. By the

M. C. A., is seeing actual warfare in
Franee as ho has been in tho big Amer
ican drive
Iu writing W. I. Stale, in answer to
Mr. Stalcy's description, of the golf
course here and how a number were
playing, Lieutenant Compton writes:
.Not lout; since I played over a 12-kilo-
meter course, chasing tho elusive Hun
instead of a golf ball, and I carried a
rifle and a bayonet instead of golf
clubs. . v ,
"Wo started out at 5 o'clock a. m.
and played (?) all day, and I can truth
fully say I enjoyed it. Wo ariivod at
our objective at noon, having covered
about nmo miles. Then we dug our
selves in and laid there' on a hill all af
ternoon and night and speculated as to
whore the next Boche shell would land.
They just naturally didn't have mj
number I suppose.
'I havo charge of tho three Stokc
trench mortar and 37 millimetre guns of
the regiment and like these two brands
of toys immensely, though I hardly be-
lievo 'Fritz' entertains the same opin
ion. This fact ' was very forcibly
brought home to me whon a very
troublesome machino gun nest killed
one and wounded soven of my men who
were within a fow foot of me.
'Wo proceeded to drop a Stokes shell
into his midst and heard uo moro from

"If we continue to go as we are now,
the war should be over 'bicn tot.' It
doesn't make much difference about tha

throats and we and our allies will dn
just that. You folks just keep us sup

Help Your Government By
Taking Csre Of Your Car
"As Undo Sam is greatly in need
of automobile machinists for war
work, every motorist. 'should do his
best to relieve them of all but the most
necessary ropair work on his car," says
F. G. Delano, local dealer in Chevrolet
passenger automobiles and trucks. "Of
course where the future efficiency of
your car is concerned it would not be
either practical or economical to try to
put up with amateurish, unskilled work.
For efficiency io the very cornerstone
of conservation which, when anolied to
'the passenger automobile, means a sav
ing of time and energy for added pro
ductivity. "
"But there are times without num
ber when a motorist will drivo his car
into a, service station or. repair shop
for attention; when with a fow common
tools he could correct tho trouble him
self. Besides, a big majority of minor
repair work which sorvice stations arc
called upon to handle, is the direct re
sult of carelessness- s
"Tho manufacturers supply with
each car complete instructions as to
the proper care of their cars. These arc
written after years of experience both
in the manufacture and operation of
motor cars. It is a duty you owe your
car as well as your government to stady
these instructions carefully. ', Beeomo
familiar with as many of the working
parts as possible. Regularly practice the
rules set forth And thus you can help
materially to 'relieve tho ropair shops
of that ernrmous amount of unnecessary
repair '' f which is taking up the
time and e. orts of so many men need
ed for far moro important tasks.
"While many automobile owners liave
promptly and patriotically complied
with such requests, a certain number
have been prone to carry the idea to
an extreme. Minor adjustments, whieh
under ordinary conditions would have
received attention, have geen ignored.
Consequently these motorists aro not
getting the service they should get
from their cars which are consuming
moro gasoline than is necessary. Re
member that for utility purposes your
car is profitable for you to use so long
as it gives maximum service at a mini

to Meet and Talk With
"Real American Girls."
f-f-HER.E are nearly 2,000 dough-
J boys in Aix-les-Bains every
day now. They are there on
vacation. French and English sol
diers go homo when the time for
leave comes. They see their wives,
sweethearts and mothers, sleep com
fortably in the old familiar bed and
jeat home-cookiEg. They come back
ito their plaoos in the Army re-
jfreshod and renewed. ,
But the American boy cannot go
home. Either, he must go without
a vacation which would mean un
happiness and reduced efficiency
or a borne must be ereated for him
in France, ; The Y. M. C. A. has
(undertaken the task of making that
home for him. American Y, M. C. A.
(women have the largest part of the
'share In the success attained.
When the doughboy arrives at
'Aix the beautiful and comfortable
.watering-place among the French
'Alps everything is ready for him.
The Army has furnished him with
transportation and arranged to pay
Ms hotel bill. The Y. M. C. A.
kinds him room and arranges for
big board.' He is assigned to a
comfortable room In a good hotel,
where he can have French cooking,
as a change from American fare,
freedom from military discipline,
be for eight days his own master,
and so get a real rest.
I Settled in his room, the boy
heads for the casino, the center of
interest in the town. This magnlfl
joent structure set down amid hand
some gardens, was at once the play
ground and the gambling haven
of the aristocracy of Europe. .
Aristocracy Lends Color
A few of tho aristocracy still
come to Aix to mingle with the
doughboys and lend color to the
: scene. The casino has been taken
over by the Y. M. C. A. and Is
operated as a club free to all en
liBted men. : It Js here that the
American women preside. - These
boys maV not have seen aa Amer
ican woman for six or eight montjis,
and there women are to them moth
ers and sisters for the time being
there to make their vacation a real
homo coming. v -,.
Mrs. Helen Bagley Anderson, ot
: Colorado Springs end Detroit,
i
carries the spirit of the place, A
doughboy doesn't stay long in Aix
before "Mother" Anderson finds
him. She gets his namer learns
where he Is from and welcomes him
In Just the manner to put him
completely at home.
"Sergeant," she calls to a "young"
veteran who wanders in late. "Why
is It It never see you till 6 o'clock
in the afternoon? We have picnics,
excursions and hikes. You can go
np Mount Revard by train and see
Mount Wane. You can go for a
boat ride on the lake; there is the
bathing beach we have fixed up for
you, and you know the tennis courts
and the athletic fields are opejj. '
There are lots of nice American
girl3 here to talk to, there are
books, mogasiues, easy chairs and
billiards. Why don't you. ever coma
before five?1
"Well, lady," I wakes np maybe
about eight and then rolls over
and sleeps some more. And when
I've finished a'sleeping in that nice
soft bed, I just lies there and thinks
how lucky I am."
But the "younger" boys, who rep
resent the mass, .gather early for
the doings and stay lata. They are
eager to talk to the two score Amer
ican Tf. M. C. A. women there to
help make their slay pleasant.
These women, old and young, work

It Is Tonight The Clocks
Are Tamed Back One Eour
All Western Unioiclockg iu tho city
will bo turned back one hour tonight.
To those who have Western Union
standard time clocks, a key, has been
furnished and the following instruc
tions given:
': Under tho daylight saving law, the
time throughout the country will be re
tarded one hour at 2 o'clock A. M. on
Sunday, October' 27. directions for ad
justing the Western Union clocks are as
follows: Make the adjustment on an
even hour by moving tho minute hand
to avoid it being out of 'synchronizing
rango when the change has been made.
Do not under any circumstances at
tempt to move the hands backward."
Railroad men havo received instruc
tions as follows: "Conductors, engin
eers, brakemon and firemen on duty at
2 o clock Sunday morning will, be re
quired to sign an order, stating they
have received copies of the circular, and
that they have turned back their
watches one hour and since turning
back one hour, have compared time
with the correct standard time."
All the average citizen need do is just
to turn the old clock or watch back one
hour tonight ani let it go at that. To
morrow being Sunday morning and no
church or Sunday scnoor nor anytning
special going on, naturally nothing very
serious would happen if tho all-import
ant change of timo was entirely tor-
gotten, JiuL the business world will be
on the new time Monday. Those in
tending to travel Sunday will find the
trains all on the now time.

Hop Market Experiences ;
Sudden Boom In Prices
A, boom of unexpected proportions
has struck the hop market but with
the exception of tho firm of T. A.
Livesley & Co., not many hops are held
by local dealers. At picking time the
price averaged close to 10 cents and-due
to the low price- many yards wero left
unpicked, Now the market has sud
denly jumped in the last few days from
II end l.'centa to a market price uf 21)
cents,. .
The smnllncss 'of tho crop emmed in

This is thought to be duo to the fael
in there will be an early peace or at

sleerV-eved angora kitten, failed to be
comforting on the long evenings when
she sat in -the cosey little living room.
for Bob's armchair stood before the
fireplace empty. Little wrinkles of dis
content were gradually growing between
her prettily arched brows, as the days'
passed, but Bob never noticed them or
dreamed of their cause, and he had so
many funny stories to tell of the West

"meows" followed, and then a flood of
light filled the hallway, and Alice stood
before him, her eyes blazing. ' '
"Oh I I'm awfully sorry, Alice," be
gan Bob, but she pushed him aside and
gathered up the injured kitten, flinging
bitter sentences at the astonished fel
low. -.
' "How dare you come here and delib

again !" And the sitting room-door
banged a thunderous finish to this out
burst For a moment Bob stood dazed,
then started to follow her, but realizing
the finality of the banged door, he reach
ed for his hat and coat and went home.
Many weeks passed, and one after
noon found Bob in the office of Frank
Sears, Alice's big, jolly brother, and one
of Bob's club friend. He was lonely,
but his pride kept him from mentioning
the misunderstanding with Alice, and
Frank never once referred to it . 1
The 'phone rang, and Frank answered
In a moment Bob "knew that he was
speaking to Alice. The thought of her
voice so near made him forget every
thing. He realized vaguely that Frank
was writing somcthiTig down. Present
ly he said good-by.
"Big doing at the house tonight,"
remarked Frank to his gloomy friend.
"It's Alice's turn to give the prize sup
per. You see, she belongs to a cooking
club, aud they've started a competition
offering a grand prize to the ' member
getting up the tastiest supper cooking,
serving, careful selection and ctmbina
of dishes, considered. There w'.ll be
three judges to decide it, and the win
ner will be announced when the last
member has given her supper. Alice has
lad her nose in a cook book for the last
month, thinking up dishes that none of
the rest are likely to have. Sl's set
her heart on winning and let mc tell
you Sis is one fine little cook. She just
'phoned mc a list of things that she
wants brought home fresh, so I'll have
to hustle over to the market and out
home in order to get back in town to
keep an early appointment She's serv
ing the feast at 7. There's no time to be
lost."
Bob's face brightened at a sudden
thought "Say, Frank, let me do that
shoCTng, will you, please?"
"Why, I wouldn't want to trouble you
that way Bob," he replied.
"No trouble at all," returned Bob,
picking up the list and preparing to
leave. "Glad to be able to save you the
trip. I'll do my best to fill these orders
satisfactorily." ' ' ';
"All "right," said Frank, laughing,
"thank you. Good-by and good luck."
An Iiour later Bob stood on the door
step of the Scars home, laden down with
'all manner of delicacies. He rang, and
to his surprise, the latch clicked without
any inquiry as to who was there. Bob
entered thanking Providenci that he
had got that far so easily. Remember-'
ing a former encounter in the hallway
he moved along carefully. Beyond the
kitchen door there was a din of pans and
dishes and small -feet hurrying to and
fro and the odor of good things cook
ing. He paused a moment, then delib
erately opened the door. There stood
the fairest cook that ever mixed dough,
deep in the mysteries of biscuit making,
a funny daub of flour ornamenting her
chin. . She stopped and stared at Bob in
amazement ,
"How did you get in here??" she ask
ed at last
"By the front door," replied Bob, de
positing the provisions on the kitchetl
table.
"How dare you come back here? Xl
told you I did not wish to see yotti
again." Her eyes flashed and she con
tinued : "I thought you were Frank. 1l
am, expecting him every moment with'1
provision! from the mJrket. I am giv
' ing a supper tonight, and I shall be very
busy. I have no time to waste talking.
Good night, Mr. Warner."
Bob, however, proceeded to undo tha.
packages, and replied pleasantly, "Well,
you're a nice sociable little girl, Alice
Then continued gravely, "Your brother,
had an important engagement tonight;
and I happened to be in the office whea
you called up, He told me all about
your banquet and I thought I'd help
him out by doing this little errand. 1
sec, however, that my pains are not ap

eyes were dancing.
"Why of course yonr thoughtfulness
Is appreciated, Bob," exclaimed Alice
impulsively, "and just to prove it hete'a

long quarrel was over. .
