SCHOOL CHILDREN OF STATE BUYING THRIFT STAMPS

Hartford, Conn.,. Dec. 19-School children in every city town and vil- laee in Connecticut are learning about through their numerous purchases of thrift stamps and war savings cer- tihcates. Thousands of pupils have already been made to understand that the purchase of g. thrift stamp will make 1t possible for them to have an active participation in the successful prosecution of the war, Howell Cheney, director for Connecticut. ex- poets that the children will respond at once to the patriotic appeals soon tc be made by their teachers and eths ] CTS. An effort is now under way ! whereby the parents will be instructed fin the details of the thrift movement so that they, too. can assist, not only by telling the young people the de- tails, but also by means of their own purchase of thrift stamps and of war savings certificates.
 It is probable that contests will soon be started in the schools throughout the state between the pu- rils of the different grades, By means of this method MT. Cheney hopes to greatly stimulate the sale of the stamps Needed lessons of economy and thrift on the part of the children win also be taught. Teachers have been informed that the war savings movement involves practical demon stration of the ideas of thrift and sav- 1n- which they for years have been trying to impress upon the minds of the children. It has been found that the pupils of the foreign classes of the larger cities are just as anxi- ous to secure the stamps as those o1 American percentage.
 Wr, Cheney says that parents will be encouraged to make the initial 2t cedats outlay necessary for the pur- cbose of the first stamp and Its ac- companying thrift card. The children will then be given every opportunity which they may obtain Many of the boys are planning to extra work ir ErIier to obtain the funds necessary trh uy thrift stamps. Others will give up candy and other luxuries to which they have been accustomed. The girls as well as the boys will have plenty of opportunity to perform small tasks so that they may fill their thrift cards with the sixteen stamps which are necessary for the purchase of a WAL savings certificate, secure the $5 wal savings certificates and then start new thrift cards.

In 1908 Lord Fisher ana Lord Beresford engaged in bitter controversy which ended only when Beresford was eliminated from the navy. Lord Fisher visited America seven years ago to attend the wedding of his son in Philadelphia Although a warrior by profession, Lord Fisher has been prominent in the movement for peace-before the war, of course
 and in 1899 was a delegate to the
 peace conference at ths Hague.

CAPTURE OF JERUSALEM

The capture of Jerusalem by the British troops may or may not be of much military importance, but it is one of those successes which can be converted into a prodigious moral gain for the victors. More than any other city in the world Jerusalem possesses both for Jews and Christians group of peculiarly sacred associa- tions, which were at least neutralized by political supremacy of the Turks in Palestine.

at the meeting, suggested that Edge

organization and cooperate with

Luke M'Lyke Says

It is easier to criticize job than it
is to do it. That is the reason why
there is so much criticism.
This would be a cheerier world II
every girl had pretty teeth, because
when a girl has pretty teeth she
smiles all the time.
A girl may not believe it, but it
wouldn't be any fun to be married to
a model husband. If she had an
earthly angel for a husband, life
would be so monotonous that she
would hunt up human being for an
affinity.
Professor Fletcher announces that
the German people have gotten rid OF
5000 100000 pounds of fat by diet
ing since the war began. A corn fed
must be quit rarity in the Kaiser's
dominion. 1850.
There was a time when mush was
something that was considered good to
eat. But nowadays the magazines
seem to imagine that mush is some
thing that is good to read.
The reason why an engaged girl
hates to have sore throat is because
she knows how other people will sus-
pect she got it.
The old-fashioned fool who used to
go over Niagara Falls in barrel now
has a son who goes over embank-
ments in his roadster.
The lover of the outdoors who
wears sportsman's outfit and carries

September.
fBy Harvey Peake.

10Y harvey CahCsJ
A purple veil of misty cloud
The distant hilltop doth enshroud,
While in the valley, far below,
The leaves begin to burn and glow
With tints of orange and of red,
Foretelling Nature dying, dead.
The air is made of molten gold,
And filled with floating webs that hold
To shrubs and trees, and idly swing,
While through their silken meshes
spring
Whole troops of fairy thistledown,
And elves from Dandelion Town.
The roads lie glistening, greaming,
white,
With velvet dust ground fine and
light,
And fade away in mellow haze
That blends from gold to cooler grays.
The drowsy bees buzz SLOWLY by,
And drone contentment as they fly,
While lesser insects, everywhere,
With strident pipings fill the air.
Anon, from distant harvest fields,
Where Earth her golden treasure
yields,
Is borne the reaper's lusty song.
The scent of ripened fruit is strong,
And from the vineyard there escapes
the luscious smell of sun-kissed
grapes.
The days are summary and warm,
The nights are cool-ah, what a
charm
Is coupled with the first hearth fire!
And now our hearts yearn with desire
For numberless September days
Before the Frost-King blights and
Stays!

An Old Chimney

There it stands over in the field,
that old chimney, frazzled at the top,
and the loose bricks piled about it's
base. The weeds have grown up
about it, and the cattle and hogs have
rubbed against it, and the weather
has eroded it until there are pictures
in it's sides. Its black mouth is out
of shape because the stones have fal-
len away one at time, and it isn't
nearly SO tall as it was when it was
surrounded by house, and cracks
ran from top to bottom. But there
is something about it that causes one
to pause and to mediate.
The house burned down years and
wears ago. The family had narrow
escape. The night was cold, and a
great fire roared in the fireplace, and
the sparks flew out upon the floor,
and the family was nearly suffocated
when it was awakened from between
the heavy blankets, so deep were they
in sleep in the warm feather beds.
But they escaped, and made their way
to a neighbours and were taken care
Of in their grief. And then another
house was built upon another part of
LUe ldTIU, ucdkCA tiS kocSNy VAASAS sAAS
we'll was dug. The first house was
built away over in the field where the
old chimney stands, because it was
near spring. One can Stand by the
old chimney and know all of these
things, with never word from friend
or foe telling him of the history of
the spot.
An a son who was born in the
house that stood where the chimney
stands, lives in a distant city, and
is prosperous; and daughter married
a man who has succeeded in life, and
both of them have families of their
own. But grandma has passed on,
and grandfather is waiting for the
cat to die, living with another
daughter on a farm across the way,
and the old chimney will struggle
on to stand until the old man is car
ried to the cemetery that lies just
around the bend Of the road from the
bridge. It will have no further in
terest in the world, and the bricks
will rattle down, and mound Of
wreckage and weeds and tangled
vegetation will mark its last resting
place. Ever see an old chimney in
the country-and hear all those
things whispered into your ear while
standing there? = Jackson (Miss.)
