MOTHER GOOSE IN WAR TINE.

The king was in the counting house
among his money sacks,
Accounting out the dollars to pay his
income tax.
The queen was in the kitchen, with
barley bread to bake,
And honey as a substitute for sugar in
the cake;
With all the beans and onions accom-
ing up in rows,
They couldn't spare the garden for
hanging out the clothes.
The clothes were at the laundry
they'd sent them there for ages,
The royal household had no maid
they couldn't pay her wages;
And if blackbird had been round,
with meat SO scarce and high,
They surely would have captured it
and baked it in pie.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: Which OF
the two receive the largest salaries, a
bookkeeper or a stenographer?
A BOOKKEEPER.
The average bookkeeper and stenog-

hographers who become secretaries
receive more than bookkeepers. and
bookkeepers who become auditors re-

In striking contrast to the intricacy
of the exterior-every foot of avail
able space being occupied by a
statue or an ornaments the solemn
grandeur of the vaulted interior with
the soft, rich light mellowing thru
colored glass in an effect that is
worth travelling far to see.
The sources of wonder to every
beholder are the grand music of the
Ambrosian Ritual, and the immersion
Of infants In baptism.

WHERE SAVING PAYS DOUBLE

When you save on food, clothing
and fuel you help the government but
when you save money and invest It in
war saving stamps you not only help
the government but you help yourself.
When you deposit money in a saw
tngs bank you help yourself and the
bank, but when you use it in the pur-
chase of war savings stamps you not
only help yourself, but you aid your
country in winning the war.
When you put money in a savings
bank you receive 3 per cent interest.
When yo(p put money into war savings
stamps you receive per cent interest
and Uncle Sam attends to compound
ing it.
War savings stamps are a better in
vestment for their owners than are
bonds of the third liberty loan which
pay Az per cent. Income from the
war savings stamps is equivalent to
L27.
A war savings certificate in June
will cost ss3.4O. Buy one or more
put-them away and forget them. On
January l, 1928, the government will
hand you back an even 500 for ever,
war saving certificate you own.
On June % every man and woman
in the United States will be asked tc
buy one or more war savings stamp.
and TO continue to buy and pay fol
them until the end of the year. Those
who are accustomed 20 saving money
will appreciate this opportunity Those
who are not will never have bette,
time to begin.
Kansas is asked to subscribe for wal
savings stamps to the amount of s37,-
100000. She is expected to respond
just as she has to the three liberty
loans and the two Red Cross calls.
