HERE'S ANOTHER CHA NCE.

Everybody these days wants to
help win the war" by doing his or
her bit in the great undertaking OF
financing the gigantic undertaking.
Many found that they could not pur-
chase Liberty Bonds OF even small
denominations. But all can now help
tho government. and at the same
time help themselves. Thrift Stamps
and War Saving Certificates arc now
on sale, and through this avenue each
citizen Of the country, however mod
est may be his circumstances, may
find way to help Uncle Sam.
Thritt Stamps are sold at 25c.
each, and when enough Of these 25c.
Thrift stamps have been accumulated
they can he exchanged for War
Saving Certificate. The present
price OF the War Saving Certificate
is Sl.l2. and this certificate will be
rcdccmable January lst, 1929. at
its value then, with accrued interest
--$5.00 The government antici-
patcs revenue to the amount OF So
00O, 600 900 from the sale of these
stamps and certificates.
And the beauty Of this plan lies not
so much in the $4,000, 100000 rcvc-
nue. as In the fact that the people Of
small means will have accumulated
81, 1000, 100000 in savings that would
otherwise have gone for nothing of
value. This Is the great lesson that
we Americans--thc most wastcGul
people on the face Of the Garth
need Just at this time. We need to
learn to save out Of our abundance.
We have so much that We do not re-
alize our constant waste.
Begin to save now, and "hclp win
the war" at the same time. Even the
children should wake up to this op-
portunity to save and to serve. When
YOU feel inclined to waste q quarter.
just remember that every dollar
counts these days. and that 1t takes
only four quarters to make a dollar.

"OBEY the law; keep your mouth shut"
 Such is the advice given by our de partment of justice to both German aliens and American citizens. This means a whole lot. As matter of fact it means everything. They must mind their business. So long as we are at war with their country and so long as they must remain in our coun- try. just so long they must obey the laws. In time of peace. remarks de- rogatory to our country are easily cverlo oked. because Americans are lovers of peace. but once reused to the point of going to war. remarks that otherwise would pass unnoticed may have serious results. To avoid unpleasantness of that nature the At torney General strikes the key note :: "Obey the law; keep your mouth shut" It may sound harsh, but there in is contained a wholesome truth Progressive-M Miner.

PEACE TALK ATTRACTS
 MUCH ATTENTION IN GERMANY

COPENHAGEN April 26.--Talk of peace, as reflected in the German newspapers is indefinite and uncer- tain, although rumors of impending developments on the line appear to at tract more attention in Germany and Austria than Americas entry into the war. Premier Tisza, of Hungary, in an Easter article in a Budapest weekly, writes that he thinks he sees signs of the dawn of peace on the eastern horizon, though possibly wilder con- fiagrations may spring up.
 "The fortress walls of our enemies are beginning to show cracks" he writes. "The events in Russia DOT tend similar developments elsewhere. Evidently the premier had Italy in mind"
 The goal of the central powers the article continues, is permanent peace fora II mankind. The premier peace for all mankind. The premier are about to receive the reward for their struggles
 Count von Reventlow of the Tages Keitung, is apprehensive that if peace comes it will not bring all that ardent German annexatiOnists crave. Only a peace founded on complete victory, he declares. can save the monarchial system of Germany. destruction If which is the obvious aim of the en- tent and President Wilson.

AMERICA AND WAR.

MANY people imagine America as peace loving nation, and will doubt less be surprised to learn that this country is second to Great Britain in the number of wars it has waged in the past hundred and forty-one years. It seems strange that as republic we have so often resorted to the sword. but it cannot be said that ours have been wars waged exclusively for con quest.
 It is difficult to realize that during the brief span of our existence We spent fifty-two years in war-Over a third of our time-including the more important wars with the Indians. Tbe longest interval of peace was between the Civil War and the Spanish -Ameri- can Nconfiict. while the second long est came after the Philippine insur- rectipn. which is still vivid ill the memory of persons considerably un- der middle age.

 Under the provisions of the bill the President is authorized, in his dis s.retion and at such time as he may fietermjne to raise and begin training shese additional forces of 500,000 Inen each, and such recruit training units as he may deem necessary for the maintenance of such forces at the Inaximum strength, and he is further authorized, in the event the Regular . Army and National Guard cannot be
