FOR whom nature sets the trap of

the affairs of young manhood a
period which mature women term

Euen the Dog VIII Haze His Day in the W. S. S. Dnce

Every dog has its day, at least
this particular dog is going to have
its day during the Alexander Arch
Victory drive if human brains can
devise ways and means. It's
this way. Mr.. Dog is the property
Of a family which has brought the
limit in War Savings stamps and
they want to buy more. Hence
they are plannhG to consult an
attorney of the law as to the legality
Of purchasing, as guardians Of the
dog $1,000 worth of stamps in its
name.
Whether or not the dog becomes
the owner of $1,000 worth Of stamps
is of little interest and less import
ance 1t is the spirit actuating the
deed which arOuses your admiration
even while YOU smile at its ridicul-
business.
This war has been won not by the
rich or by the poor but by both, ami
the problem confronting the nation
at the present time Of neadjustment
and reconstruction is one which
will necessarily be solved by both.
In the War Savings drive, however
we have a problem which must be
worked out by the poor man and

God had evidently wrought with
Eslu. for when Jacob approached
him the sting of bitterness was
gone. IL was not Jacobs scheming
that removed Esau's anger, but the
action Of the supernatural upon his
heart. At JabbOk Jacob got right
with God, so when he met Esau it
was an easy matter TO get right with
him. When we are right with God
l. is an easy matter to get right with
our brother.

limit and most willingly too. for no
investment, not even Liberty bonds,
brings the returns that War Savings
stamps do. He would gladly buy
more, as evidenced by the story OF
the dog. but an all wise Uncle sam
has restrained him that the poor
man, too might reap the benefits
Of this gilt edge investment.

Wonderful beyond expectations
has been the response Of the school
children. From January until
June Of last year the pupils in south

worth Of stamps. From September
until Friday of last week the report
