GIVES ALL TO HIS COUNTRY
The Story Of Richard Prokop, Real
American, Now on His Way
to France.

Madison. Wis.-The story Of Rich
ard Prokop should never be forgot
ten in Wisconsin
Private Prokop-he is on his way
to the front as a member of the ar
tillery branch of the regular army
and soon may be Somewhere In
France--may never know or believe
that he is anything more than patri-
otto young man, but his story should
be made to live.
When the war is over Wisconsin
will possess her quota of heroes who
will receive the credit that is their
due, Private Prokop probably viii be
forgotten then. So let his story be
told now
This young man he is only 22-did
not know much about America when
he left Bohemia four years ago, He
had been told that it was a land OF
opportunity and he came.
He worked at farm work four years,
and he other day he registered for
service. Then he enlisted in the reg
ular army for the war.
He had saved $3.50, and it was in a
bank drawing four per cent interest
He drew it out and bought $500 worth
of Liberty Bonds, which pay 312 per
cent interest, but 100 per cent in sat
isfaction that the owner is doing
something for his country.
Private Prokop may give his life
for his country, which he has learned
to know in four short years as the
greatest country on earth When he
went away he said he was glad to
have that opportunity.
He has given his savings to Uncle
Sam besides.
When he left for the front every
man in the Office of the State Council
stood at attention until he had passed
through the door.

by so doing help him to produce a larger

desirable borrower. There is only
one crop of land and it must produce all
we eat and nearly all we wear.
While the producing power of inn
proved land is the basis, investments

The Mother'S
Christmas Gift
Il never comes to Christmas but |
think about the fines

Il never comes to Christmas but |
think about the times
We used to save our pennies and
our nickels and our dimes,
And we punched them all together,
even little baby brother
PutinsOmethingfOrt the present that
we always gave to mother.
We began to talk abOutit very early
in December,
Twas a very serious matter to US
children, / remember,
And we used to whisper nightly our
suggestions 10 each other,
For by nothing cheap and tawdry
could we show our love for
mother.
Hers must be a gift Of beauty, fit to
symbolic her ways;
ltmust represent the sweetness and
the love that marked herdays.
Il must be the best our money, all
combined, had power to buy,
And be something that she longed
fOr;nOthing else would satisfy.
Then il matterednot the token, once
the purchase had been made.
Ii was smuggled nome and hidden
and with other treasures laid,
And we placed Our present proudly
in her lap on Christmas day,
And we smothered her with kisses
and welaughed hertearsaway
1t never comes to Christmas but |
think about .he times
We used to save our pennies and
our nickels and our dimes,
and the only folks | envy are the
sisters and the brothers
YhO still have theprecious privilege
of buying for their mothers.

In ancient times funerals were fol-
lowed by professional mourners, who
simulated the appearance Of the wild
est grief. The custom survives In the
valley of Sondrio, in the Alps. There
the women do not follow the funeral,
but they group themselves at the en-
rance to the cemetery and burn, in
honor Of the dead, candles which vary
in size according to the remuneration.
They are as prodigal as were the
mourners of ancient times in their sim
ulation of excessive grief. = London
