LIEUT. 1IWUJGE
' Ulna TODAY
•Stops With Homefolks And Friends
While Enroute To Army Hos
pital At Hot Springs.
Lieut. Eugene Wallace arrived in
Newport this morning from Hamp
ton, Roads, Va., where he spent a
short time after reaching the United
States from France, where he was
with the American Expeditionary
Forces. He is suffering from an in
jured knee, which he sustained by a
fall, and will go to Hot Springs to
•"‘^jnter the army hopital, after spend
ing a few days here with his parents,
Mr. and Mrs. John W. Wallace, and
numerous friends, who are givijng
him a genuine welcome.
4 Lieutenant Wallace was in action
[ five days and nights in Argonne
Forrest, and while he modestly re
frains from telling of his exploits
it is known that this Newport boy
gave a good account of himself, put
*_^ling away during those five days and
night a goodly number of the enemy
and contributing his share to the de
feat of autocracy. He was slightly
wounded by gas during the fighting,
■ but has never suffered seriously from
the attack.
“After a man has gone through
with it, has seen his comrades fall,
wounded and dead, and witnessed the
sight which mangled and torn bodies
present, he doesn’t like to think
about it,” s)nd further than that the
Independent was unable to get an
interview for publication from Lieut.
Wallace, though he has promised to
tell us some more at a later date.'
The best wishes of many , friends
go with him to Hot Springs, where
it is hoped he will be speedily re
stored to good health.

they are to use caution in their sales
to see that no individuals are sold
sufficient sugar to involve them in
danger of violating the anti-hoard

—A CLOTHES LESSON—
FROM THE WAR
The war taught us to economize.
Waste and extravagance was
tabooed. In clothes, economy meant
better quality. Good clothes last
longer, look better—and, in the long
run, are most economical.

Are we going to forget this lesson?
Economy in peace time is as
5=- worth-while as in war-time.
Let’s keep on practicing econo
my. Let’s continue to de
mand the best. Buying
