Patriotic Watch Meetings on Dec 81
win Close Missouri's Efforts
In 1918 Drive.

On New Years eve in hundreds Of
school houses in Missouri the men
and women of the State will meet to
talk over the war work that has been
done in the past year.
Hundreds of old-fashioned watch
meetings" are to be held that night.
One has been called by WSS com
mitteemen in every district Of the
State. Missouri proposes to make
this a sort of an experience meet
ing" as we'll a. watch meeting that
night. Furthermore, the real pa
triots, those who did their best even
though they served aT home, are to
be placed on record that will be a
Roll of Honor. And while this is be-
ing DONE the Stacker, who could have
bought WSS but did not--his name
will be placed on another list and
that list will be sent to become a
part Of the permanent records of the
State of Missouri. The State does
not propose to lose sight of the fact.
in the future, that there were Those
Who Helped and Those Who Refused.
These will be never-to-be-forgotten
meetings. The events of the years of
war will be fresh and clear in the
minds of all. There will be mourning
| worn for the dead in France on many
present at these meetings. There
will be boys back from the shrap-
nelled machine.gunned hell OF the
, West Front with empty sleeves and
wound chevrons on their arms. There
will be sailor lads back from where
! they hunted the Hun along the ocean
| lanes, and these lads will watch
| keenly the records that have been
made by the stay at homes.
AS midnight approaches, after the
letters from abroad have been read
and the experiences of the war have
been told, some one will rise and call
the roll of this district. The names
of those who have met their pledges
like good and true Americans will be
read. Following this list will come
that of the men and the women OF
each district who have failed to keer
their pledges-or who have refused
to make any pledges.
Within a few days the lists, bott
lists will 80 forward to the county
and State officers. These will be KEEP

WHY BUY WAR
SAVINGS STAMPS?
There Are Many Reasons and They
Are All Good for Good
Americans.

Don't get the idea that the minute
the big guns ceased to growl on the
West front, the war could be forgotten.
It can't be forgotten that easily.
There are hundreds of thousands of
men to bring back home, There are
other hundreds of thousands who
must stay in Europe, who must watch
the Hun, who must be our eyes to see
that peace IL brought about, our arms
to enforce our just claims on beaten
foe.
We had built up wonderful war
machine. It cost billions to build up
and start running.
We must reverse that machine now.
1t has been making soldiers. 1t must
now turn backward and make farmers
and merchants and factory hands and
professional men out of soldiers. And
all that will cost money. 1t will not
cost the billions that the war machine
cost but it will run far up into dizzy
ing figures.
Some Cf this money must come
from War Savings Stamps. Some OF
1t will come from bond issues and tax
alton. But the mere W.S.S. are sold
by the Government and taken by the
American people the less will have to
be raised through bond issues and
higher taxes.
Don't let anyone tell you that it is
foolishness to buy W.S.S. now that
the war is tho same as over. In the
first place no treaty Of peace has ac
Itually been signed. In the second
place, this business Of changing from
a war to peace basis will cost q
great deal of money and that money
lis needed now.

Within ten minutes after an appli-

single trace of dandruff or falling
hair and your scalp will not itch, but
what will please you most will be after
a few weeks use, when you see new
hair, fine and downy at first-yes-but
really new hair-growing all over the
scalp.

bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy. Just moisten cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw IT
through your hair, taking one small

ing-your hair will be light, fluffy
and wavy, and have an appearance
of abundance; an Incompatible lustre,
softness and luxuriance.

that it has been neglected or injured
