vANDE:RLIp ASKS FOR 3O,O00,)00
 WAR PARTNERS

CINCINNATI, Dec 31.-Frank A. Vanderlip, national director of the 100000, ,000 war savings stamp campaign, wants to- make 30,000,- GOO -blooded, patriotic citizens men, women and children--co- partners with Uncle Sam ill financ- ing the war.
 Before members of the Illinois Manufacturers Club the former president of the largest bank in America, who is now serving the country for $1 a year, made the prediction that the teaching of thrift through the war savings cer- tifcate5 and thrift stamps will he a lasting one, and that henceforth Americans generally are to help to finance the government.
 q believe that we can sell these certificates to 30,O00,000 people, was his optimistic prediction. If we can get 30,000, ,000 stockholders in the United States, we shall have accomplished a political thing of great significance.
 "If 30,00o,00 people become in terested in the obligation of the United States the future of the country is more secure. We shall have impressed upon the whole peo- pie something of the good old-fash- toned virtue of thrift.
 Thrift means aelf-discipliue It means hard work; it means some thought of the morrow; it means those qualities that go to make up fine character; it means those qual- ities that make a great country.
 We are losing some of those characteristics in our prosperity. We needed something to stimulate those virtues, and ! believe that we shall be able to preach this doctrine of thrift on the platform of these war savings certificates in a way that will have an effect upon our future for many years to come"

EMPIRE CORRESPONDENT THOUGHTLESSLY TREAOS
 ON MUNICIPAL CORNS

DOUGLAS, Dec 31.-From turkey here is where the Island correspond ent of The Empire takes it and per forms the amends honorable
 Thoughtlessly and with no other idea than to jolly about the snow which is rapidly passing from the jolly to the serious stage, The Elm pore correspondent ruffled the dig nifty of His Worship, the mayor of Douglas, in an article appearing in Saturdays paper, the article in ques- ton being meant as indicative of official efficiency but misconstrued by His Worship.
 That same snow which prompted the article at which His Worship took offense, having been argument ed by another foot since Saturday evening, precludes The Empire cor respondent from rubbing his nose in the dirt to emphasize the amends honorable and he hopes His Worship will take the spirit for the deed and consider the nose as having been  rubbed
 Again-the municipal snow blow is, at present our most cherished in stitution. It is doing yoeman ser vice to the town and The Empire correspondent hereby apolgizes to the snow ploW< for referring to it in spirit of levity
 And just here The Empire cores pondent feels that something should be said regarding the ethics of the use of titles, as too many people misuse them:
 A regning monarch should be spoken of as His Majesty
 Anyone of royal blood-no matter how scrofufous-is His Highness.
 A Legislator is His Honor.
 A Governor is His Excellency.
 A judge His Lordship
 A Mayor is His Worship.

 Shoes were tied with blue, pink, red, white ribbons; with anything but the government boot loce of un- tanned leather. The fashion spread to the office and women clerks pa raded the platform during the din ner hour with resplendant colors of shoe laces.

"Oser.' 3

A young Hebrew who was a German prisoner of war wrote four letters to his family in this country complaining of the treatment he was receiving, but the letters were torn up in front of his face because of the statements con- tained in them. He had a brilliant idea. In Hebrew the word 'oser' is equivalent to "vice versa" and is used to indicate that tie statments made should be taken as meaning just the reverse. So Solly wrote this letter:
 Dear Family: The Germans are the kindest people in the world. They are not cruel They are gentleman. They are brave. I hope they win. They treat me fine. Your loving son, 'Oser.'
 And the letter was forwarded and received by his family.
