Ask For Them SOUTHWESTERN STORE CO. "The Store with the New Goods' Clothing Conservation Meeting Miss Mary Robinson, Clothing: Specialist from the University of Missouri and Miss Margaret V. Bingham, Home Demonstration Agent, will giye a demonstration in Clothing Conservation in the Ad Club rooms, Saturday, November 16th, at 10 a.

m. Very few women understand the clothing situation at the present time. The war is nearly over to be true, but it will soon be found that we shall have to save, make over and scrimp as we never did before. Every garment must be worn threadbare if we are to do our patriotic duty to the scantily clothed peoples across the ocean. Miss Robinson has an interesting clothing display, illustrating how the different garments and household linens can be used to the best advantage even to the last thread.

All the women of Neosho and vicinity are invited to be present. You may know how to conserve, but you can always find new ideas along these lines. Walter Kerrick, J. D. Brookshire and Riley B.

10, 19:8. Dear H. G. I've changed my residence since I wrote you last. I'm now at the gunnery school at San Leon, way out in a God-forsaken location on the Gulf.

I've only been there a week and to date I've shot over 5,000 rounds of ammunition into those waters. When I went there I thought I knew a gnat deal about a Lewis gun, but they changed my mind. However, now I feel I have a better idea of it. It is some school. Thay demand an eighty per cent score to qualify on everything.

We did target shooting from 25, 50, 100 and 200 yards. One practice was shooting at surprise targets had 8 any one of which might come up for 10 seconds. We had to make a score of 20 in eight shots shot in bursts of two during the 10 seconds. I qualified the second time up. Also had practice shooting the shadow of a ship flying over head.

And practice with what we call the Kee- wee. It's an airplane body (without wings) mounted on pontoons which makes about 40 m. p. h. thru the water where we shoot at floating targets.

This work I'm doing now is the greatest sport I've seen yet. This coming week we fly shooting at model ships ating in the Gulf. There has been another great-change in my status cently. On Nov. 1st I was commissioned a 2nd Lt.

Air Service (Aeronautics). Oh! Boy what a grand and glorious feeling. It seems great to get into the boots, caps, bars, wings, etc. You feel like you were some one at least. My regards to everyone.

BRIGGS HARDWARE COMPANY, Neosho, Missouri Expression off Appreciation The pleasures of the tion and the Peace Parade were enjoyed by two venerable old people, very closely related to the history of the two gigantic struggles which organized and preserved this United States that it might become the most powerful champion of Liberty and Justice and finally celebrate with the World the Freedom, not alone of one race, but Liberty for all mankind. General James Wells, of Revolutionary fame, had a daughter named Rachael, born in 1786, who could remember George Washington's frequent visits to their home, as he would take her upon his knee and talk of her flaxen curls. This girl was the grandmother of Mrs. P. R.

Lawrence, the wife of a veteran of the Civil War, who served three years in Company of the 20th Iowa and fought in the Battle Prairie Grove, Arkansas, Siege of Vicksburg. He has been helpless at our home for three months but has never lost his interest in the news of the Great World War for which his two grandsons were called and when the joyful peace tidings came and with it the announcement that a grand parade would be one of the features of the celebration, he remarked: "I hope they will pass along Mill street so I can see them from the window." He little thought, or expected and would have been the last to ask that the program be changed for his benefit, but hia wishes, mentioned by his friends to the leaders of the parade, were cheerfully complied with and for this we voice our sincere thanks to one and all by this public notice, which is DO measure of our gratitude for the respect shown my father and mother.
