4-MINUTE SPEECI BOYS AND ( CLAREN] Miss Mary Broughton Our country is in this war, the big- br West war the world has ever known, or [ ever will know. It either means a ' contitnuation of wars for all time to b( come or it means a lasting peace. Our Ce country is in this war to win. Oi It's my country, it's your country, at it's my war, it's your war; it's up to un us to help win. I must give my serv ice and mony; you must give your t service and money. pr Now is the time to set about this sat stern task of cultivating habits of to thrift. Now is the time rigorously to re cut down our demands for goods and fir services that the Government needs gc and we can do without. Nothing should be purchased or used that is sp not necessary to the maintenance of al our health and efficiency. That must ti< be the measure of our expenditures, ch and mark the limit of our demands. $5 The elimination of unnecessary ex- vi penditures is absolutely essential to mi the winning of the war. re No one should say he has the right so spend his money as he chooses cai when the liberties or the world are stt threatened. No one should dare when only the highest efficiency in money, fo man power and materials can in this great emergency make the world safe t against Prussian autocracy. Money is the motive power of -rm- ou des, for without money armies cannot -I be trained, transported, munitioned, to or fed. Without united effort on the part of every American citizen the re war may be forced to stop and we re way have to make an unsatisfactory and dishonorable peace. This is no time for each one to think the little 1y Ae cart do is so small that it is not G0 north while. Every one can help in is he conservation of man-power and va materials. Every one can save a lit- tar dae. Every one can avoid waste of all nl tind. Waste coats lives. Delay in ho answering the President's call to duty th' will cost more lives. on We ar- faced with a problem of ap- St palling magnitude. But the answer ch Co the German autocracy must andilnS will be a free, voluntary and loyal an response on the part of every Ameri ran citizen. A united and wholly self sacrificing America can give a final Fr and conclusive answer to autocracy. ha Even- boys and girls can save ma- hi terial nr numberless ways and there- ta by invest the value of these savings pu n War- Savings Stamps. Boys and sp girls can easily forego many little fa plearstrres and save in this way to buy mi Thrift Stamns. (C The Government has gone as far as th it can go to meet the situation; it is ye now up to- the Great American public we to meet the Government half way. ar The nation can show its loyalty and ou gra' e that it realizes its individual go oesponsibilities and duties in doing Li uicat each one can do to mantain the S principles of human liberties. te; Mor A MC ern : busi veni won It a elen exa< ture This an a Mali The Hiome WE SE] JESBY IRLS FROM )ON'S SCHOOLS The patriotic enthusiasm that ought millions of dollars out of the ope's pockets during thw Liberty an Campaigns, has demonstrated yond doubt the loyalty of Ameri ns. Nothing could prove more con isively that the opportunity needs ly to be presented to secure the in santaneous support or every individ 1 in the country. The War Savings plan offers the fest, most convenient, and mosti ofitable method of accumulating vings that has ever been presented the people. War Savings Stamps present without qualification, the test investment ever offered by any vernment to its people. The Government is tapping new rings of resources when it goes to the people with a financial obliga in so designed that every one, even ildren, can become an owner of a .00 War Cavings Stamp, which is tually' a United States Govern- | mnt baby bond, backed by the entire I sources of the United States. What are War Savings Certifi Les? They are only little postage imps, or very like postage stamps. i It was a happy (lay, especially for r boys and girls when Secretary Mc loo advised Congress to allow him issue War Savings Certificates. ese certificates will not only help r Government to win the war, but 0, help our boys and girls to learn save. t's one of the wisest and most far aching acts that our wise Secretary s been the promoter of. A War Savings Thrift Stamp is on a piece of paper upon which our vernment's promise is printed. It really without value, except as that lue is measured by the stamps at lhed to it. These stamps will all iture Jan. 1, 1923. A certificate Id. sixteen stamps, and the value of ?se sixteen is four dollars. When e has accumulated sixteen Thrift imps, your Thrift card is then ex inged for a War Saving Certificate imp, the value of which is $5.00, ri this is interest bearing. Boys and girls, this is a serious and emn period in the progress of man. .ssia is out of the war, Emland, ance, and Italy are well nigh ex usted. The supreme moment of tory has " ome. The saperhuman ;k has devolved on the great Re blic of th - West-America is re Dnsible at the bar or hi.tcry. The ;e of the millions of this world and Ilions to come rests with the Ameri a people. Shall w. falter while civilization of seven thousand ars perishes from the earth; shall wait until our own sacred shores invaded, our homes pillaged and r people murdered? Shall we let unavenged the Falaba, Gulflight, sitania, Arabic, Persia and Sussex? all we bow to the "Kultur" that ches, "As the German Eagle soars AND HIS Lecking accou necessity to e ness.

Armageddon is here. God has or dained that America shall rescue lib erty and civilization. Let us every American offer up the full measure of devotion. Let us rally behind the government, Army and Navy, holding high aloft the Cross of the great Naz arene. Let us advance onward to Calvary. Make the world safe for Democracy. Guarantee "Freedom for all Forever." Miss Lois Thompson Today we are engaged in a world war and a just war. 1 say "just" and indeed such it is. A-tierica entered this war not only to quell autocracy and establish the principles of De mocracy, but to defend her rights. Do you realize that America is fight ing for her life? There can be only two issues-world liberty or slavery for all. We must fight to the finish, and we must win. Aside from the call to stand for liberty and justice, to protect our home and families, has come the opportunity to pay our long owed debt to France. She helped us when we needed help. She gave us the Statue of Liberty to light the world. When the cry of the women and children of France reached our ears, our instinct commanded us to rise and go to her help. The bond be tween our people will never be forgot ten. There is no friendship more lasting than that between men fight ing in defenst of an ideal. This question should come to you and me, the school boys and girls of America? How can I help to win the war? Girls and boys helped Ameri ca to win its freedom and we can help her to keep it. You and I are too small to take an active part at the front with the soldiers, doctors and Red Cross nurses, but we can and will become active members in the great American Army. Will you begrudge the lending of your dollars to back up our gallant home defenders who are leaving their homes, friends and country and risk ing their lives for us Y It is a sgiall thing for us who remain at home in safety and comfort to lend. We must economize, leave off un necessary things. I can buy one hair ribbon that will go with all my dress es. I can leave a picture show, do without candy and ice cream cones. All of these give me pleasure, to be sure, but that is nothing compared 1 with the fact that your and my sav ings are necessary to our govern- 1 ment, every dollar we can save. Our government must build thousands of air ships, automobile trucks and ships i to carry our soldiers, doctors, Red Cross nurses and supplies across, which requires immense amounts of I money Can't you realize the need I of giving our little bit; can we afford to be slackers? Our soldiers are not going to fail us and we mast not fail them. We must be loyal. We must buy Thrift and War Savings Stamps 4 and persuade others to buy them. Let us talk to our schoolmates. Tell them about the Thrift and War Savings Stamps and what you are doing and how their help is needed.

BOYD AVOIDED AN OPERATION Canton, Ohio.-" I suffered from a eemale trouble which caused me much suffering, and two doctors decided that I would have to go through an operation before I I could get well. "My mother, who had been helped by Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound, advised me to try it before sub mittingtoan opera tion+ It relieved me from my troubles io I can do my house work without any ]iffilculty. I advise any woman who is ifflicted with female troubles to give Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com pound a trial and it will do as much for them."-Mrs. MARIE BOYD, 1421 5th St. N. E., Canton, Ohio. Sometimes there are serious condi blons where a hospital operation io the only alternative, but on the other hand ;o many women have been cured by this famous root and herb remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound, after loctors have said that an operation was necessary - every woman who wants to avoid an operation should give it. a fair trial before submitting to such a trying ordeal. If complications exist, write to Lydia E. Pinkham Medicine Co., Lynn, Mass., for adv'ce. The 'i.uit of many years xperience is at your service. tanps, representing a total of four lollars, are bought and put on the Chrift card, and a cash payment of 'rom 12 to 23 cents Is made, the Chrift Card can be exchanged for a Var Savings Certificate Stamp, for vhich you will be paid on Jan. 1, 1923, ive Dollars. This is an interest of 1-2 per cent. Twenty of the War savings Stamps syill amount to a 100 Liberty Bond. These stamps can >e bought at any bank or post office. Now to buy these stamps will re Iuire on our part self-denial, but is mnything worth while , ,er gained 'i-houit an ef. ,'t ? The habit of saving will not only telp win the war, but will develop he spirit of thrift, preparing us for he great task that will confront us vhen the war is won. In this Thrift Stamp Drive we n'ist realize the need of unity. 'United we stand; divided we fall." Let us show our noble president and he great men at home and abroad hat we are united. liss Mamie Harvin Today we are engaged in the great st and most devastating war the vorld has ever witnessed. It is your var; it is my wvar and it is up to us ,vhether we shall lose or win. As Americans it is our patriotic duty to lo all that we can to win the war. What are our boys fighting for? they face and go into the torture of he battle front for what? They are here because our country needs them here; because you and I need them to )rotect us, and that generations yet inborn shall not be subjected to the lominating German autocracy here s well as in Europe. They are there o crush forever the German idea that 'Might is Right." Our boys are there o teach the Germans that old men re not to be tortured and killed, that >abies are not to be struck through vith a bayonet and carried squirming ,vhile dying on the soh:iers' shoulders )n the march. Our boys are fighting, >leeding an.. dying in F'rance for our safety, liberty, civilization andi every ~hing that we hold most (lear andl .vorth while in this life. They are sighting for dlemocracy and righteous 'less. How can we help w the wvar? On y by (denial arnd self-sftrifice. We can lony ourselves of the useless luxuries wve have hitherto enjoyed. Insteadl of oing to moving picture shows, buy inlg coldi drinks, candieis andi numer mUs other things, we can buy Thrift Stamps J), Wa r Savings Stainps and Liberty Bonds. Remlember that our boys are giving their lives for us 'Over There." Think of the sacrifice the mothers are mlaking. Some ef theml are giving their only son to be slughteredi on the hattlefield of F"ranIce. 1v4en andi women, b~oys and girls, let us show our gallant boys that we are worth (lying for, by buy ing Trhri ft Stanmps) and~ War Sav'ings Stamps, in ordIer to mlake thlem as :-omfortable ars possibel. When we buy War Savings Stamrps we are not only hlelping our G;overn mlent but, are making a g(ood invest mlenlt. We( must (do our (duty now or never. Thle m~ore we save here now the more lives of our boys over there will we be auble to save. Our boys need ammlu nittin, clothing andl food. Every son and1 daiughter of America whlo wants to help in this great struggle (enn do his bit by buying War Savings Stamps. If Germany should win this war thlere wouldi no longer be any riced for your mloney. The U. S. would b~e sub~jectedl to the same treatment Belgium and France have had. If we d~o not conquer Germany now the world must remain an armedl c!amp through fear of her, and this struggle must go) on for generations to come. Shall she dlominate Amuerica? NO! God forbid it; every drop of blood in America shal Ihe shed beftore she shall dio thlis. It dlependls upon our coop oration with our Government. So let come what may, let us not be slackers in this great crisis of the greatest war the wvorld has ever known. Let us help b~y (doing and serving at home and then may G;od bring this war to its righteous conclusion.
