SHERIFF ELEYS COURAGE.
Ohio Official Gets Loving Cup For De-
Tending Man From Mob,

The National Association For the Adj
vancement of Colored People ON Dec. 80
presented loving cup to Sherman
Eley, county sheriff at Lima, o. The
trophy was given in recognition of Sher-
If Eley's bravery In defending a col
ored man accused of a crime or INSIDE
meanor from being lynched by mob
of white people. This is the first time
that sheriff Of any county has been
so honored, 1t is said.
The inscription on the loving cup
reads, For devotion to duty in defend
ing a colored prisoner from lynching,
enduring torture and insult, that the
majesty of the law might be upheld, 1t
Lima, Aug. 80, 1916" The presenta-
ton OF the cup was made by Governor
Frank B. Willis before a crowd that
filled the Second Baptist church. He
said that the world loves and appre-
ctates d man who stands squarely with
heart unafraid and his face to the
front at times of stress and that pub
lie appreciation never is small for the
faithful Official who stands for the ad-
ministgation OF the law and the en-
forcement OF justice.
The sheriff was too moved to say
more than simple thanks in accepting
the cup. Prior to the presentation,
however, he told friends that what he
had done hardly called for action by
the Advancement association. because
he had only done his duty.

The Christmas of 1917.

Was there ever a 6 day in the history
of the last nineteen hundred years
when so many homes looked forward
to Christmas with less of antici-
patton and 10y? In common with
all the nations involved in this pre-
sent war America will find it quite
impossible to repeat the customary
greeting-"A Merry Christmas. !"
Out of thousands of our homes have
gone the noble sons whose early
years made for us the Christmas
days time of happiness and cheer.
We never dreamed in those past
wears that the little lads for whom
we bought the sleds and skates, and
for whom we iingled the sleigh bells
the night before Christmas, half
waking them from their dreams,
would one day be marching over the
fields of France facing the cruelties
and horrors of the most inhuman
war the world has known. To
many of us there have come moments
when 1t has almost seemed, as some
one has said, that the Infinite Just
ice had been too long neutral in this
war. But such moments do not
last. Faith, born of the great
Christmas message, reasserts itself
and finds refuge Jim the confidence
that Justice and Judgment are the
habltation of His throne" In one
Of the darkest days of the Civil
War, when Frederick Douglass, ad-
dressing great audience of colored

people, gave expression to his hope
lessress ard despair for the future
of his race, old Sojourner Truth rose
from her seat, and stretching out her
long thin hand cried, Frederick, is
God dead?" We do not wonder
that men and women doubt His pre-
sence and His goodness. And He
too probably does not wonder that
faith sometimes breaks under life's
inscrutable mysteries. But He is
faithful still.
With courage we must await
those days that soon will come when
we search the papers for the tidings
we fear to see. TO train our hearts
to face the worst-that is part of
our great task. To hide our own
fears and send across to those who
are over there only the word of
cheer and hope, this too it is ours
to do.

Teach the Children to Save.

Why not learn and teach practical
lessons from war conditions as we are
passing along. Teach the children to
save by purchasing government thrift
stamps. By this means small amounts
will steadily increase to larger ones.
The saving is so small that no hardship
is entailed. Then, too, that which IS
more valuable than the actual savings
is the saving.habit the child forms. II
you develop an economic habit, habit
of saving instead of spending, on the
part of your children, you need never
fear that after you have crossed over
the river your savings WILL be
wantonly wasted. Use war conditions
to teach the saving habit by encourage
ing the purchase of thrift stamps,
which can be converted into cash at
any time.

Your Lad and My Lad.

Down toward the deep blue water,
marching to throb of drum,
From city street and country lane the
lines of khaki come;
The rumbIng guns, the sturdy tread,
are full of grim appeal,
While rays of western sunshine, flash
back from FURNISHED steel.
With eager eyes and cheeks aflame the
serriei ranks advance;
And your dear lad, and my dear lad,
are on their way to France.
A sob clings choking in the throat, as
file on file sweep by,
Between those cheering multitudes,
to where the great ships lie;
The batteries halt the columns wheel,
to clear-toned bugle call,
With shoulders squared and faces front
they stand, a khaki wall.
Tears shine on every watchers cheek,
love speaks in every glance;
For your dear lad, and my dear lad, are
on their way to France.
Before them, through a mist of years,
in soldier buff or blue,
Brave comrades from thous and fields
watch now in proud review;
The same old Flag, the same old
tho Freedom of the World.
Spells Duty in those Tapping folds
above long ranks unfurled.
Strong are the hearts which bear along
Democracy's advance,
As your dear lad, and my dear lad, go
on their way to France.
The world rings out; million feet
tramp forward on the road,
Along that path of sacrifice DER which
their fathers strode.
With eager eyes and cheeks aiame,
with cheers on smiling lips,
These fighting men of II move onward
to their ships,
Nor even love may hold them back, or
halt that stern advance,
As your dear lad, and my dear lad, 60
on their way to France.

Washington, Dec. 2.-Tbe cam
paign for the sale Of s2.O00,000, 200
worth of war savings stamps will
start Tomorrow throughout the
United States. Every Post Office
mas big supply of the stamps and
there will be 100000 agencies in
Post Offices, banks, stores and news
agencies. The campaign will last
until Jan. l, 1923, provided the
total amount of stamps authorized
by Congress is not disposed Of be-
fore that time.
This war cannot lie financed
unless the American people i'm
mediately stop waste, practise self
denial, economize in every possible
direction and lead the money they
save thereby to the Cover ment,"
Secretary McAdoo said to-day in
urging the public to invest in war
savings stamps.
The campaign for the sale of
war savings stamps in denominations
of 25 cents and s5 is of the utmost
Importance. No such opportunity
as this has ever been offered to the
American people for investing their
savings with absolute safety and at
such attractive rates Of interest.
The Government will accept your
money and pay interest at the rate
of 4 per cent. per annum, compound
ed quarterly.
Let every man, woman and child
reflect, as they are about to spend
even 20 cents wastefully or needless
ly, bow much that % cents will do
for some splendid son of America
who is fighting on the battlefelds of
Europe, how much even 25 cents
multiplied hy 100000, 600 loyal and
patriotic American citizens Will help
their Government to bring to a
quick end this horrible carnage in
Europe; how many lives Of Amer
ica's noble sons will be saved the
sooner the war is ended. Every
dollar saved will hasten this result.
The widespread practice of
economy is absolutely vital to the
success Of the war. My hope is
that the war savings stamp, cam
paign now begun will impress this
lesson upon the American people
Every one, however small his means,
can help in this way.
y appeal to the heart and patriot
ism of the American people to help
their Government and help them
selves by whole-hearted support
