"Kxtravaganee costs blood, the blood
of heroes,'' these words were spoken
I>\ Lloyd riiursi', the great war lord
of England.
Dar.icd Webster said, "save yourself
man. and !><? r< sponsible and respected."
We must tin ? t the extra demands
whi h \i:.' brings forth by using less
of cverv.hing tli.it is not absolutely
necessary. If ? ?? do not save, the sac
virices which our men have and are
m.tkii.g will be in vain. "The test <>,
? icce .i is the ability to save." It is
e.is> to s'.ve because you c.iii save by
small amounts. Save jour pennies,
>oiir ni l.ii your limes, and when
1.. i \ ? ci-ots > oil i :i n purchase a
thrift stamp. When you have your
thrift card full and a few extra pen
nies y o ? i ran exchange it for a war
. ;.\ n:; stamp A war saving stamp is
i good investment, for it bears in
terest. and bad; of every stamp is
the promise of the United States gov
ernment. If yon put your money in
a toy bank it will not grow it wiil be
there and rest but if you invest
>n war saving stamps it will serve
a dual purpose, it is a good investment
for you and it will hep our govern
ment.
Tiie nations of the once beautiful but
now devastated Kit rope are looking
to to* to help t!i? :n and wc must do it.
To-day if we w*.-e in their sad plight,
ihev would send us food and soldiers
and offer us refuse in their own fair
land, and we should do the same for
litem.
If we do nr>t save we will have noth
ing to send across the sea to "our
boys," the boys that are fighting for
its. Nothing to send to France, France
to whom we owe so much. If it had
not been for the brave French Oenera I
Lafayette to-dav we would not be a
free and powerful nation.
Are your dimes and dollars helping
to bring victory'.' There are three
things we can do with a dollar: we
can hide it. we can .spend it, and we
can invest it. Now a hidden dollar is
a slacker dollar because it is an idle
dollar and we don't want to earn any
of that kind, but there Is something
worse than this when we .spend money
for things w do not need we are serv -
ing the enemy, and then your dollar
is a traitor dollar. I'.ut there is still
another kind of dollar and it is the
kind we all want to own. It's the
patriot '1 ?!!ar. The patriot dollar is
the dollar that's invested in war sav
ings stamps and thrift stamps. The
dollar that's invested ?n T.iberty bonds
and things that are absolutely neces
sary. W-s, that's the kind of dollar
we all want to own. The soldiers are
civing the'!- lives, shall we hesitate to
give our dollars'.' The Failed States
has never 1 vit in a war. Citizena of
America, are we going to let her lose
in this one? S.vve our dollars and
save our boys should be the watch
word of every true American.

Once there was a hoy. named Fred.
Fred was vcy patriotic. One day a
boy passed Fred's home. Fred was
putting up a Hag on the front porch.
The boy mocked Fred and called him
a fool. Fred was very mad. and told
his mother about (lie boy. One day as
Fred was walking along be met the
boy- that mocked hint. Fred told him
how important it was for him to buy
Liberty bonds, and help win the war.
but the boy only laughed. A few years
after Fred was grown.
One day as he was walking along
a handsome man told Fred that he was
the boy that mocked him, then the man
saiil. "You were right. Il Is better
td buy T.iberty bonds- than to throw
your money away in other things."
Fred was old enough to volunteer, so
he told his friend what he was going
to do Both he and his frjend (Wal
ter)' volunteered. Waiter was ihc boy
that mocked Fred. The war was over
before Fred and Walter had to go.
"You were the cause of it ending,"

TIIK ri(illTI.N(i FRENCHMAN.
(Chapter II.)
The 't'rlnl of the Spy.
"Captain." said the general, as the
youug captain came up. "what do you
think we ought t >?> do with this man.
he was caught with three time-bombs,
and was making for nil the ammuni
tion plants?"
"lie should shot fit sunrise." an
swered the captain.
"Why should lie?" asked a young
French oilicer. who somewhat resem
bled the German.
"Why should he?" said the general,
"why he trifd to blow up all the am
munition;; that we had."
"That's all right Dutchy." said the
French oMlcer.
At this very moment Brander and
Jean came, tip. r
"That is a ricrman." whispered
Brander to the head officer.
"If so you and .lean seize him and
and we will have both of them court
ma rtialed."
"f'ome on f'erriot." said Brander. "we
have got to catch that spy for the
general."
They went off to the right of the
pretended ofliccr and entered the woods
which was to the righ# of them. When
they came out of the woods they were
directly behind the little group, only
about three squares away.
"Lie down Perriot 'fore they see
you." called out Brander softly."
They then lay. down and began the
crawl, they soon reached within sight
of the big burly German that was in
the hands of the French and Ameri
can o tlicers.
"Watch behind you far!." bellowed
the German unintentionally.
At this the supposed French officer
whirled around and fired three shots
directly at the two men, one of the
shots taking effect in Brander's leg,
i and the other two hit Perriot. one over
i the eye. and other other on the left
arm. At Hie action or this both troops
of French and Americans and French
