Your Fighting Quarter

The ordinary bank takes care Of the man who
has $40 week which he can save. The savings
bank takes care of the man who is able to put one
dollar aside.
But the Thrift Stamps which Uncle Sam is put
ting out get right down to bedrock. They were
invented for the man, woman child who could
save Is cents at any time within the next year
and who felt that he or she would like to do bit
towards winning the war. Every quarter in
vested in a Thrift Stamp helps to buy something
for an American soldier or sailor that he needs if
he is to be an efficient and well equipped fighting
man in the war against the kaiser.
Count that week lost in which you do not make
one of your quarters go to war.

Getting at Facts

Anyhow, we get from the senate's investiga-
ton of war department affairs that it will take
10000 of the officially adopted Browning ma
chine guns to arm the first million soldiers and
the factories will not begin delivery Of the guns
until April l.
After delivery Of the guns the men will have
to be drilled in the use of them, Of course.
Evidently, the allies would do well not to rely
on us for an army of million men before April l.

ton as to date or fact in this war, even when
there isn't much glory in that information

 All devotees, men and women, walk, always turning a small hand prayer wheel filled with minute prayers print ed on thin paper, and larger prayer wheels, filled in some cases with tons of paper prayers, are set revolving by the deyout or are sometimes worked by water power.

 In her story of Rosa Bonheur in "Tales From the od World and the New" Sophie M. Collmanp, the authorn writing of the artists masterpiece, "The Horse Fair" says: ,,rr .-, Q,
 Never, surely, had there been so many sketches of horses; they covered the walls, the tables, the chairs, the easels and even the floor, for the world just then held nothing for Rosa but horses. She painted AWAY at them un-a til she could have done 1t with Gher5 eyes shut. Every horse in the great picture had been sketchsd countless hmes and still Rosa felt that she must try just one more pose.
 "All things, however, must come to .An end, even sketches, and so in the course of time the Horse Fair was finished. The world has pronounced 1t Rosa Bonheur's7 masterpiece, for al- though she was to paint many splendid pictures In the years stID to come, none would ever quite equal this, ,- ra- oa,

Rosa had wish ed to portray vigorous life and motion, and she knew that she had succeeded
 Many of her pictures went to for eign lands, and she hoped that this one might remain in France, but 1t, too, went on its travels, and as though the restless horses could not endure quiet, never stopped until 1t had cross ed the ocean, and after many RdVen-, tures was finally tethered in the Met ropolitRn museum, in New York city far, far away from Rosa'S studio"
