Enlist the little folks 10 the thrift
stamp collection campaign. Every
man, woman and child in the United
States is expected to buy 500 worth
of these war-savine stickers. They
are direct obligation ofthe United
States Government and they pay a
per cent interest. They differ from
Liberty Bonds only in the fact that
the interest is used by the G&ern'
ment and compounded, the entire
sum being paid to the holder in 5
years.
Many children own Liberty
Bonds, but every child can start
a book of thrift stamps. In Missouri
the public school children are to be
organized for the work under the
direction OF Superintendent Lamkin.
Private and parochial schools are
carrying on the good work. As
soon as the children catch the spirit
of the movement the fight is as
good as won.
1t means a little matter of $1,000
900, 600 for Uncle Sans war chest
and it means habits of thrift and
saving encouraged in every Ameri
eau home.

Jerusalem Ealls.

The capture of Jerusalem may
have little military significance, as
the Germans claim, but it certainly
possesses immense historical and
sentimental value. The Turks had
held the Holy City uninterruptedly
for 400 years. That they attached
importance to it is shown by the
tena cious way in which they held
on to it. Its final surrender to the
Bri fish means that the Turko-Ger
man threat toward Egypt and the
Suez Canal is at an end. just as the
capture of Bsgdad stopped the Ger
man dream Of an Empire stretching
from the North Sea to the Persian
Gull.
The passing Of the dreams means
that the Central Powers have settled
