McADOO ASKS CHILDREN
TO FOSTER WAR THRIFT
Drummer Boy spirit of rs Is Needed
For American Triumph, says Sec
rotary.

Washington. Dec. 1.-The drum
mer boy spirit of 10 was invoked
against Germany by Secretary Nc
Adoo today. Appealing TO the school
children to set their elders a sacrlt1c-
ing example in the e.0oo,ooo
war thrift campaign now openlng,the
Secretary of the Treasury SAID:
I'VE must win this war. we can
and we shall if the boys and girls or
America say so and mean it and feel
it and live it, as the boys and girls OF
rs lived and felt and helped.
THE nation needs that sort OF
BOYS and girls today, not to beat our
drums, nor to load our muskets, but
to start a great work which must be
done. 1t is the part of boys and
girls today to teach the grown peo-
Die of the nation the lesson of thrift,
saving to the point of sacrifice, self
denial of everything unnecessary.
IF every boy and girl says at
home tonight, L will fight in this
war: l will save every penny and
loan it to my Government to help
save the lives of the big brothers OF
America; l will try to teach every
American l see 10 do the same, then
2O,OOO,GO0 homes, the homes OF all
America, will be filled with the spirit
of rs.
America will win again as it has
always won, through the splendid
strength, courage and sacrifice In the
hearts of youth through the message
which its school children will carry
home''

No Political Parties

During the period of the war there
should be no such thing as party di-
vision in national politics. There
should be but one party-the party
of patriotism, composed of every per-
son and interest in the country.
There should Be no sectionalism-
no North, South East or West. The
politician and the political partisan
have no rightful place today, either
in private or official life.
The nations that are allied in their
moral purpose against the traducers
and destroyers of civilization are
unifying their material resources
and their related political programs,
to the end that victory may be won.
This is essential; it is equally essen
tial that there shall be no division
among the elements which consti-
tute national power.
This is not sentimentalism, but a
practical and tested principle. I'm
union there is strength" All his
tory shows that the nations which
have survived crises have been those
which have relegated internal differ
ences and concentrated their powers
and activities upon the supreme task
confronting them.

new WAR STAMPS APPEAR
Must be Put on Many Documents
And Securities.

The new war revenue stamps De-
gan to make their appearance yester-
day, when the Stamp Tax law went
into effect The office of the Col
lector of Internal Revenue, when
was swamped with applications for
the stamps FRIDAY, was again rushed
yesterday by banks and business cor
porations which had not supplied
themselves with a sufficient number
of the 'stickers."
The stamp is required on all drafts
or checks, payable otherwise than at
sight or on demand, and On promis-
sorry notes other than bank notes is
sued for circulation. 1t must be
placed on all deeds transferring lands
or realty, the amount of the stamp
depending on the consideration in
yolved. If the consideration is nam
ed in the deed lower than that ac-
tually involved, in order to avoid
payment of the full stamp tax, the
Government holds lien on the prop
erty transferred to the extent OF the
amount of tax evaded.
The tax was also felt at the rail-
road stations, where all tickets cost
ing more than $40 had to be stamp
81. Another place where the general
public felt the tax was in the post
office and express company offices,
where all packageScQsting mqMhthan
25 cents to tFaHa1 ar a
stamp. Bonds leben-
lures, certificates of Indebtedness,
stock and certificates of stock, prox-
les for voting at election of officers
or for transaction of business at
meeting of any business organization
also have to bear the stamp now.
Power of attorney is likewise taxed.
In addition the tax on playing
cards becomes effective.

Thanksgiving VS..
Disappointment

1t happened just as we had thought,
For theatre tickets we had bought;
We had planned to have some time
With the girls we were to dine.
Four days before this great event,
Something happened which did pre-
vent
This time of joy and of jubilation,
Or, in other words, a celebration.
One member of our Battery c
The use of water he could not see;
Caught an epidemic strong,
Which made the Battery all go
wrong.
His face was grimey, his feet were
black,
Which put his system all out of
whack;
Then, one by one, red blots did shine,
And doctor said. "A quarantine"
Then from the clear sky there ap
peared cloud,
And all our plans were put in a
shroud;
No place to go, nowhere to stay,
Is how W espent Thanksgiving Day.
The moral of this cradle verse
Is to use water, and nothing worse
Will ever befall a man
Whose full of dirt and of sand.

To Water Consumers

We, the undersigned Directors OF
the Dorchester Water Company, take
this means to notify the public that
the action of enforcing the rule for
collecting water rents in advance was
the unanimous action of the Board.
This action was absolutely necessary,
as we found it impossible to make
collection by collectors, and many
customers were using the water with
out paying for it, and as the Public
Service Commission compels US to
treat all alike, we had to enforce the
rule that would apply, not only to
those who were not paying, but also
to those customers who have always
paid promptly.

Loving A Child

Loving a child is key
To Heavens mystery.
Loving a child, and giving
1t knowledge, this is living.
Loving a child brings pain,
And is life's greatest gain.
Loving child is knowing
The fierce joy of sowing
That shall cause mighty reaping
Loving a child is weeping,
And fearing, too, and praying;
This, there is no gainSaying.
Loving a child is being
A part of God, and seeing
The world beneath ones hand
Enlarge, expand,
Be different, and grow
To ones thought. Even SO.
Loving a child is key
To every mystery.
Loving a child is laughter
And heartache after.
-Heartache and grief and pain
But always joy again.

And a glorious victory won,

And I'll eat corn pone" for fun!
