Editor Transcript:
I am sending the following to
trie War Department, as<:ng jus-
tice for our boys. I do not know
whether or not it will do any good
but do know, if the press and peo-
ple would take it up and urgently
and earnestly advocate it, or
something similar, this great in-
justice to our soldier boys would
be remedied. Let us all push and
pull for some such righteous mo^e
on the part of our government.
Respectfully,
J. P. DELLINGER.

To the U. S. Government:—
"Why hast thou forsaken us?
Have we not been faithful and
tiue?"
This is being asked by the boys
that saved this great American
Government. Boys that have shed
their blood and the boys that have
given their lives for you and your
loved ones and have protected the
billions of dollars of property in
this great land; the boys that you
cheered so as they boarded the
transports for France, as you
clasped his hand while great music
was played on your streets.
| You told him ' a great crown
! would be ready for him to wear on
his return to his native land, and
that many great honors would be
bestowed upon him in this great

American country; that the boys
from France would rule in all Am-
erica, that they would be entitled
to all the good things and the fat-
ted calf would be waiting for him
who had saved our daughters, our
mothers, wives and children.
Are you keeping your promise? '
No! You no longer hear the cry for '
help. You have failed to appre-
ciate the sacrifice made and the
| Treat Soldiers Boys Right Gal. 2
blessings you have secured, jus! as
some have failed to appreciate the
sacrifice of the Savior who was
nailed to the cross and shed his
blood for you that you might live.
A few of the hoys are returning.
We see him coming down the
streets alone; yes, alone—no one
to tell him of the blessings we
have secured from his sacrifices
No music as he marches up the
street, hunting a cheap boarding
house where lie may find some
thing to satisfy his hunger with
the few rickle? and dimes that he
has. Not enough money to go
to a respectable house and get a
good dinner and a good bed to
sleep in.
My God, if we have a govern-
ment, wake up! Do not sleep
while these boys are in this hard
.shape; some not able to work,
'some are total wrecks, both phy-
sically and mentally; shocked from
the scenes of the front trenches.
When alone their dreams of these
horrors will not let them sleep. I
appeal to the government in be-
j half of the soldier boys in France.
I Do you think it is just to these
boys to turn them out with the
pitiful sum of $30 or even $60.
Those boys who went over the top,
deprived of food and drink and
suffering every hardship. The
Bible says "The laborer is worthy
, of his hire."
But for these boys we should
have had to transport three mil-
lion more soldiers that were in
training in the U. S. camps. This
would have cost the government
the sum of $2,150,00 for each sol
dier equipped for the battle fields
But the boys over there did not
wait for help, but struggled in
the blood of their comrades on to
victory, struggled on until they
turned the whole tide of the bat-
tle and it never turned back.
Of these brave boys we all feel
so proud and now let this great
American Government give to
each and every on of the honorably
discharged soldiers from France a
free pass to his liomft town and
place in his home bank a thousand
dollar bond, and let that bond be
payable in twenty years, drawing
four and one-half per cent inter-
est from date. This should be the
prayer of every true American
citizen of the United States. Let
us show to the world and to the
good God we trust in, that the
"Laborer is Worthy of his Hire."

no soot!
no dirt!
no smoke!
no slack!
Use this famous coal in your furnace,
stoves, and especially in your kitchen range—
because it's even-burning quality makes it
ideal for cooking and baking. It never clogs
np your grate with cinders, and burns to a
fine ash. It's just good, clean, solid, pure
coal. The price is a little higher per ton—a
whole lot lower by the month.

Tin Pan
Alley
There s one little section in
New York they call Tin
Pan Alley—the "home of a
thousand pianos. It is the
district of the popular-music
publishers—the birthplace
and the nursery of the na-
tion's song'hits. Here the
vaudeville singers go to
be taught the latest songs,
which they in turn spread over the country.
From Tin Pan Alley the songs go direct to the
Edison Recording Laboratories, and soon they are
locked in the hearts of the little black discs.
Through the magic of
%e NEW EDISON
"The Phonograph with a Soul"
You can Rf-Create in your own home all the
popular-songs from Tin Pan Alky. The gaiety, the
laughter, the cleverness of the Alley's music.is all
waiting for you in The New Edison.

OU don't leave
2s your rig in the
middle of the road and
go to a fence post
to read a sale bill do
you? Then don't ex-
pect the other fellow to
do it.
Put an ad in this paper,
then, regardless of the
weather, the fellow you
want to reach reads your
announcements while seat-
ed at his fireside.
If he is a prospective buyer
you'll have him at yoivr
sale. One extra buyer often
pays the entire expense of
the ad. and it's a poor ad.
that won't pull that buyer.
An ad in this paper reach-
es the people you are after.
Rills may be a necessity,
but the ad is the thing that
does the business.
Don't think of having a
special sale without using
advertising space in this
paper.

One of the very best departments in the
modern newspaper to get results from publicity,
is the "Classified Department." it tells the
story of the day in short, pithy paragraphs,
telling of the Losts and Founds, the Wants, the
For Sales, the for rents, and a hundred and one
other stories. EVERYBODY reads them—and
everybody should have a little story in them.
The Classified Department of the Transcript-
Enterprise brings results at a small cost.
