$4,000 for q Drink Of Water.

$4,000 for q Drink Of Water.
There was no harder fighting, when
the men had once gathered the idea
that discipline was of importance and
that the first duty of a soldier was not
to save his own life, than in the
American civil war, 1S61-1864. says an
English military Journal. the v. C. In
one of the many desperate fights the
Federals had charged up to the Con-
federate works, only to be repulsed
in confusion. leaving the ground COW
cred with their dead and wounded.
Among the latter was an ofIicer very
badly hit. Everyone knows. or least
knows of, the terrible thirst caused
by physical injury. The one appeal
that rises from the battlefield is for
water. The officers means reached
the ears of one Moore. Of Burke coun-
ty, South Carolina, who was lying in
comparative safety behind an en-
bankment. He was in safety, the
oflicer was an enemy, but he was suf-
fering and wanted water. and water
he should have. So said Moore. His
comrades thought otherwise. They
were very happy on their side of the
embankment. To 60 to the other was
to walk into q hail of lead and other
missiles, in fact to court almost GER
tain disablement. II not death. They
pointed out to Moore that the idea
was foolhardy, and the risk quite un.
necessary. especially on account Of an
enemy.
Moore did not talk much. He just
picked up q canteen, jumped over the

wounded foe was lying. and gave him
q drink. The grateful Federal Of

token of gratitude. but Moore did not
want any reward. He had merely
done what he considered right. and
now that the Federal was easier.
there was no object in staying to get
shot, so he prepared to move back.
The onlcef called to him at least to
give him his name. SO that he might
remember his benefactor. Moore saw

situation.

Concerning Your Home.

From the number OF inquiries it ap-
pears that the object of the Billings
Building and Loan Association has not
been fully understood. i
Slime people have thought that the
association built houses and then sold
them on the installment plan.
While that is practically the result,
the method must be viewed from an
other standpoint.
The association is not a charitable
organization-it is a business con
Germ, intended to make money in three
ways: First, by providing a safe in.
vestment for local capital; second,
by saving money for local home
builders; third, by retaining both the
earnings and savings in Ballings.
1t is composed of local bankers,
professional and business men, who
will profit indirectly by the home use
OF the money used.
It's objects are to assist the man
with-a-family, and the man-who-is-
going-to-get a family to get a home
for that family. assist" mind you,
not 'give'' him a home.
That assistance is given only to
those who show themselves worthy.
1t is a plain business proposition
whose new methods make it philan'
thropic in effect.
