J. Wilkinson Elliott, president of the 

 Elliott Nursery Co., has received word 

 that his 20-year-old and youngest son, 

 Barton W. Elliott, is a patient in a 

 hospital somewhere in France, having 

 been seriously wounded in action with 

 the Fourth Battalion, Marine Corps, 

 November 1. Shortly before came the 

 tragic news that Lieutenant "Ben" 

 Detchon, a nephew of J. W. and Ben- 

 jamin L. Elliott, had been killed in 

 action. Rhea F. Elliott has returned 

 from the C. O. T. S., at Camp Lee, where 

 he expected to have been commissioned 

 in another month, had the war not 

 ended; while still another brother, 

 Thomas McKee Elliott, manager of the 

 town oflSce, is expected home from Camp 

 Joseph E. Johnson, Fla., any day. Miss 

 Mary Jane Elliott, a younger sister, is 

 a member of the Parochial School Booth 

 committee selling War Savings Stamps, 

 at the Frick building, during the final 

 joio ^^tensive drive. 



Mrs. Harvey C. Sheaff, the wife of 

 Mrs. E. A. Williams' genial manager, 

 is chairman of the booth committee for 

 the Joseph Home Co., having been one 

 of the most enthusiastic W. S. S. pro- 

 moters since the organization of the 

 work. 



Having served the Allied cause by 

 making hand grenades and rifles in the 

 Twenty-fifth street plant of the West- 

 inghouse Electric & Manufacturing Co. 

 since January, 1917, Peter Matsukes has 

 returned to the florists' business and 

 opened a store at 529 Smithfield street, 

 on the ground floor of the handsome 

 Henry W. Oliver building. Not satis- 

 fied with what he considered incidental 

 (munition) work, Mr. Matsukes en- 

 listed October 18 in the motor corps and 

 was called to leave for Camp Meade, 

 near Baltimore, November 13. Mr. Mat- 

 sukes, who was for five years the suc- 

 cessful manager of the flower shop of 

 the P. B. R., East Liberty station, is 

 the brother of John Matsukes, formerly 

 a salesman for the Liberty Florists. 

 His assisting staff includes Mrs. Dorothy 

 L. Bier, Miss Marie Marchison and 

 Miss lola King. 



In line with the food conservation 

 movement, in the display window of the 

 E. C. Ludwig Floral Co. is a splendid 

 exhibition of fruits, vegetables and 

 pickles produced and preserved by Mrs. 

 Ernest C. Ludwig and her daughter-in- 

 law, Mrs. De Forest W. Ludwig, during 

 the summer at their Ludwig station 

 farm near Mars, Pa. 



The A. W. Smith Co. has closed a con- 

 tract for planting the grounds of the 

 new building of the Bell Telephone Co., 

 on the corner of Murray avenue and 

 Pocusset street. Squirrel Hill, and will 

 begin work the coming week. John B. 

 Strayer, manager of the landscape de- 

 partment, has also started planting on 

 the grounds of the recently erected 

 U. S. Bureau of Mines, on Forbes street, 

 near the Carnegie Institute of Technol- 

 ogy. Mr. Strayer, who has been suffer- 

 ing from a small carbuncle on the back 

 of his neck, is much improved. He 

 has recently received letters from sev- 

 eral of the department's boys now in 

 service. Sergeant Ralph F. Pinner, of
