MRS. YANCEY CALLED
TO HER REWARD

In the death of Mrs. W. H. Yam
cey at Portland yesterday morning,
following an operation. Kelso lost
one of its long time residents and an
active worker in all community af-
fairs. Although friends knew of
Mrs. Yancey's serious condition when
she went to Portland short time
ago, news of her passing spread gem
eral sorrow.
Hulda Ann Rhea was born at Eu-
gene, Oregon, August 2, 1867, and
resided there until she was IL years
of age, when the family moved to
Eastern Oregon. Here, as in the
Willamette Valley. the Rheas were
we'll associated with that sturdy race
Of pioneers who cleared the way for
the generation that has followed. On
July 4th, 1882, Hulda was married at
The Dalles, Ore, to William Henry
Yancey. In 1899 the family moved
to Kelso, then small village, and
have lived here continuously since
that time.
Mrs. Yancey was one of those rare
spirits who find their way into the
hearts of all. She was dearly loved
by all who knew her, children and
adults alike; always forgetful of self;
always doing something for others,
her life has indeed been a blessing,
and this world is brighter because
she lived. Her wonderful vitality
and indomitable cocurage during her
illness of recent years was marvellous
She was patient and uncomplaining
sufferer, of an unusually cheerful dis
position. For several years she had
been active in the work of the Chris
tiap Church, of which she was a
prominent member. She was also a
member of the Ladies of the Macca-
bees, and has held many important
offices in that Order. She died in
St. Vincent's Hospital IN Portland on
Tuesday, December 4, 1917, at the
age of SO years, months and 2
days. She leaves devoted husband,
five children, Claude, Frank, Mrs
Laura Morgan of Albany, Ore, Ed
win and Ray; an aged mother, Mrs.
NJ A. Donaldson, of Condor, Ore.
five sisters, Mrs. o. c. Veatch, of
Condor, Ore; Mrs. c. D. Barnard,
Fossil, Ore; Mrs. Henry Pies, Sal
berry, Ore; Mrs. A. T. Tillard, Doug

THE WAR SAVINGS PLAN
GIVEN IN A NUTSHELL

} The Governments War Savings
Plan, is plan by which you can lend
small savings to your government at
four per cent interest, compounded
quarterly.
You lend to your government by
the purchase of War savings certi-
fcates and thrift stamps.
A war savings certificate costs
sf.12, if purchased this month or
next-the cost to advance one cent
each succeeding month during 1918.
On January /, 1923, the certificate
will mature and the Government will
pay you IS for it.
A thrift starip is stamp costing
rs cents to be applied in payment for
a war savings certificate. II does not
earn interest, it's purpose being to
help purchasers to accumulate in 25
cent pieces, the amount necessary to
pay for war savings certificate.
War savings certificates and thrift
stamps con be purchased at your post
office, from your city or rural mail
carrier, at your city banks, and from
your merchants and other authorized
agents.
Though money with which to carry
on the war to victory is the immediate
consideration in the Government s
thrift stamp appeal, real and lasting
benefits to the nation are going to
accrue by virtue of the more general
practice of national thrift which the
campaign is expected to develop. The
Government hopes to make us a more
thrifty people, not merely for the
duration of the war but for all the
time. Uncle Sam feels that if he can
make us a nation Of savers he will
have made us nation of servers to
all mankind.
Charles N. Wonacott, assistant
general secretary of the Portland Y.
M. c. A., is now directing his major
energies for the success of the War
Savings campaign, having accepted
appointment as associate director for
the campaign in Oregon. Mr.. Wona-
colt went over the top with Oregon in
the recent Red Cross and Y. M. C. A..
fund raising campaigns, and he holds
that the new thrift program, provid-
ing for the loan of small savings to
/ the government for war work, is just
as essential and important as the
larger Liberty Loan investments.
