TALKING HORSE AND TALKING
GOD

(By Sam Walter Fossl
They sat and they talked where the
cross roads meet,
And they talked of the horse, for
they loved the theme,
And never man was dumb
And the man from the North loved
the strength of the horse,
And the man from the West his
pace,
And the man from the South loved
the speed of the horse,
And the man from the East his
grace
So these four men from the four
winds come,
Each paused space in his course
And smiled in the face of his fellow.
man,
And lovingly talked of the horse.
Then each man parted and went his
way
AS their different courses ran;
And each man iourneyed with peace
in his heart
and loving his fellow-msn.
They met next year where the cross
roads meet,
Four winds from the four winds
come:
And it chanced as they met that they
talked of God,
And never man was dumb.
One imaged God in the shape of man,
A spirit, did one insist;
One said that Nature itself was God,
One said he didn't exist.
But they lashed each other with
tongues that stung,
: hey smote as with rod;
Each glared in the face of his fel.
low-man
hnd wrathfully talked of God.
Then each map parted and went his !
way.
As their different courses ran;
Nnd each man journeyed with war In
his heart.
And hating his fellow-man.

Every dollar invested in these bonds

At the expiration of five years

all of the money that is thus loaned

Even if there we're no war and the
government were not in dire need
of money, the War Savings system
would be one of the greatest bless

learned the lesson of thrift the les-

is no better time to learn this lesson
than now when in the learning we
can serve our country in the hour oil

should acquire the saving habit, the
cnly sure road to economic inde-

is to sacrifice a little at the present

something more substantial in the

and War Savings Stamps every day

ToboIsk Gives Promise.

Tobolsk Is the mere beginning Of
a city. Some day great metropolis
viii stand there. Tobolak today is
what ST. Louis or Chicago was a hun
drcd years ago. The half million
square miles of the province of To-
bolsk include huge areas of rich land,
although the northern reaches are lap
ped by the Arctic ocean. Already Il
great part Of it is sown in wheat and
the cattle are increasing from year to
year. With the building of railways
these great Siberian plains will tell
the story Of our own West over again.
