HOME DEMONSTRATION
DEPARTMENT.
By Miss Daisy Harris)

For the past two months we have
been strcssing food production and
conservation, and we shall continue
this campaign throughout the year. But
there is something else we can do to
help win this war. Not all can go into
the trenches, but there is some one
thing that every person can do. The
first thing at hand is to buy Thrift
Stamps
Mr. David II. Coker, chairman of The
State Council Of Defense, makes this
have done little. in Il financial way, to
win this war:
81 would suggest to the farmers
wives that they sell their surplus but
ter and canned goods and invest in
War Saving Stamps.
school children can do odd jobs in
the afternoons and invest in War Say
in&S Stamps With The feeling that they
too, arc soldering and arc helping the
boys at the front
NO small investor can find a better
plac" for his small asvings than in
these War Saving Stamps. They arc
purchasahc in 81 cents units and a
500 bond payable Jan. lst 1928. is
purclasablc for $l.lI They will be
redeemed on ten days notice with one
cent per month interest.
I'VE who are safe at home cannot.
or ought not. to have comfortable con
sciences unless We arc doing every
thing We can 10 help win the war. and
the only chance that most Of us have
10 help is in raising moro food. saving
food, buying War Savings and Thrift
Stamps and Liberty Bonds"
Our contributions arc. first. our
sons and brothers for the trenches:
second the last pound Of food products
we can grow: and third. money for
Liberty bonds.
Your son and The nations sons arc
relying on the L. S. Treasury 10 rurn-
iSh things with which they may fight.
Their lives arc lost if the treasury
fails. Our country is lost if the treas
ury fails. and Germany wins
Therefore every cent YOU can rake
and Scrapc together belongs 10 the
treasury that our soldiers may como
back to us alive and victorious. We
can Whip The Germans with our money,
but NOT With the money in our pockets
or bank accounts. It must go into the
United States treasury in SubScrip-
tionS to Liberty Bonds These bonds
arc the most desirable investment any
citizen of America can make
Therefore when on April The 9th the
Third Liberty Loan campaign is put
on. let us everyone do "our bit" to
make tho bond issue a success by pur-
as many bonds as we possibly
can. II is the least We can do for the
soldiers

Soldiers Like Brownino's Verse
WaShington Times

wv dSnlngtOn IfmeS.)
Soldiers like poetry-strange rs
that may seem.
But they want poetry with punch"
and pep
Recently one collection found spe-
cial favor with them, and it is 100
70 shot that the average reader
could not guess which poet it was
who attained this popularity.
NO, not Robert Service, nor Rud-
yard klpllng, but Robert Browning.
Perhaps Browning had an unfair
advantage, because the Boston
Browning Society prepared a small
thlrty-page collection of passages
from his works, especially applica bic
to the war, and it's personal prom
lens, and it was this volume which
Y. NJ. c. y. workers in camps have
found hits the men between the
eyes"
Probably many Browning students
did not know that Browning was Il
good propagandist for the war Vt
democracy. But there are in this
collection passages like these:
II foresee and I announce
Necessity of warfare in one case.
For ore cause; one way, bid breach
the blood
0 the world For truth and right. ana
only right
And truth.
Then there are passages like this,
which arc quoted frequently by ncl
in uniform:
Then, welcome each rebuff
That turns earth's smoothness roueh,
Each sting that bids nor sits nor
stand. but co."
And again:

spirit feels waste,
Not a muscle is stopped in it's play

There have been narrower escapes. no

day by Capt Montague Prowss Of the
torpedoed American tanker Atlantic
Sun, but scarcely 30 many crowded into
such a brief. breathless and utterly

with the floor of the cabin, drop the roof
on him and sprinkle him with pieces Of
furniture. This was escape No. I.
The decks were still we'll above the
waves when he emerged from under the
mass Of wreckage. None Of the tank
ers crew was in sight, however. The
captain took an uncertain step or two
and promptly stepped into a yawning
hole where no hatchway or hole had
been. Floundering in oil. Prowse felt
himself drawn irresistibly toward the

above oil gushed in a great steady let.
Escape No. 2. A little later he was
hauled aboard one OF the ships boats,
there to await escape No. 3.
scarcely had Capt. Prowse been
drawn into the boat, when a boat from
