PAT FOUND WAY TO KEEP IT
Resorted to Simple Device to Keep
Companion From Spending His
Own Money.

A Scotchman and an 1rishman once
set out together on holiday. The lat
ter was a steady, frugal man, the for
mer was careless and a spendthrift.
Conscious of his own weakness,
Sandy entrusted all his money to his
friends charge, with strict injunc-
ton not to give him back more than a
stated sum for expenses each day.
After few days Sandy thought his
daily allowance inadequate for his de-
mands and pleaded for an increase,
but in vain.
Holidays over, the Scotchman In
formed Pat that, after the latter's re-
fusal to comply with his wish, he got
out Of bed every night, when he found
the Irishman asleep, and made an ex-
tensive search to find the cash, but
could never succeed, and inquired OF
him where he kept it.
SWELL" said Pat, II allowed you to
20 10 bed first every night, and as we
occupied the same room, had no diff
ficulty in putting my purse, unoD
served, into one of your pockets. was
first up every morning and took pos
session Of II again."

Uncle Dan, "and that Is to adopt per.
manently universal military training,
apply 1t to every young man WHIT is
physically at, say in his nineteenth Oh
twentieth year. The training can be
carried forward In the United States
training camps that are now being es-
tablished for training men called by
the selective draft. Az soon rs these
men vacate these sesEons, they should
be filed by younger men, and this
should be made the permanent policy
Of the country"
Billie's mother, Mrs. Graham, had
overheard the conversation. She came
ont and said: Really, Brother Dan.
are you serious as to the dangers of
our country? II 1t is as bad as that, It
is high time for us to wake up and do
something about It,"
Exactly" replied Uncle Dan. ut
is better to wake up now than to be
rudely awakened later. We may as
well understand, sister, that this is our
war and We must win 1t or God helr
America. Everything that we have
or hope to have-our liberties, our
blessings, our opportunities are all in
volved In the great issue before us.
Nothing must stand between us and
winning this war. It is q question
whether the peoples right or the kali
ser's might shall dominate the world.
II there ever was holy war, this is
1t. We are fighting for world liberty.
We are fighting for the freedom of
humanity. We are fighting for the
right of men to govern themselves In
stead Of being governed against their
will by war-mad overload. Perilous
times are ahead Of us. We must be
prepared to make any sacrifice, to per-
form any service that may be required
of us"
"Oh, Uncle Dan" exclaimed Billie.
may bring my chum, Jimmie CsI-
Inns, when we have our next talk? He
is bug OF this war business and just
crazy to see you"
Certainly" said Uncle Dan, with a
hearty laugh. IF we are to have more
talks, shall be glad to have Jimmie
Join u.s."
Billie clapped his hands and ran to
the phone and told Jimmie to be over
at seven o'clock the next evening.

said the war wouldn't come over here.
Grandma Jones said: They amt no

kaiser could tax US as he Pleased and
that we couldn't help ourselves. He
could make every one pay over part
Of what he earns; that he could make
the farmers pay rent for thefx own
farms, etc. Now, Uncle, what do you
think Of that?
"Well, my boy" said Uncle Das.
"all that Judge Brownell says might
easily come true and may unless we go
quickly to the aid of the allies with
large numbers Of men and help them
break the German line. Unless we can
beat the submarines, they may pre-
vent us from getting enough food to
the allies to keep them going. In that
case Germany would win, As matters

Crows Holding Their Own.

There has been hostility between the
farmers and the crows ever since there
were farmers In New England, but the
number of crows, so far as anyone
knows, has not decreased. They are
efficient, they are able to care for
themselves and are likely to hold their
own, no matter how much the popula-
ton may increase. More than that,
despite the severity of winter, each
crow looks sleek and well-fed, perfect
" at home and contented with its sur
roundings. The English sparrows and
the starlings may seek shelter during
severe weather, but, no matter now
cold or stormy It may be, one finds
the crow doing business as usual. II
the quail and ruffed grouse were as
hardy and intelligent and possessed
with an equally catholic taste for food,
whole volume Of game laws might
be done away with.

ABOUT EXEMPTIONS DEFENSE COUNCIL MEETS
Law Permits Local Boards
to Use Discretion.

Provost Marshall General Grow der
has sent the following telegram to
governors Of all States with reference
to his ruling concerning dependency
on the ground of marriage:
Please call attention of local
boards to the fact that a soldiers
/ pay is not less than $50 month
aud that all clothing, subsistence,
N edical treatment, and housing are
furnished him. Under the law he
may aIlot any portion of his pay to
a dependent. Many soldiers receiv-
ing $50 "a month are easily able to
allot $25 monthly to the support of
dependents.
IN case Of death in line of duty
the Government will pay to the
beneficiary designated by the soldier
six months pay. Section 1 of the
selective service act provides that
those in status with respect to
persons dependent upon them for
support which renders their ex-
cluslon or discharge advisable may
be discharged, but it does not re-
quire that they shall be discharged
in all such cases.
The discretion Of local boards is
invoked by this provision and such
boards NAV well take the facts re-
cited above into consideration in
deciding claims for discharge due
to dependency with a view to de-
termlnlng whether. as a matter of
fact, the person claimiI { such dis
charge will not he in as good or
better position to support his de
pendents after selection for military
service than he was before. If such
is the case, Of course, the discharge
should not be granted.
