Government has so arranged il
that every person can do his
part accordingly as God has pros
pered him. If you cannot buy a
bond, buy a War Savings Stamp.
And if you cannot possibly find
%. 10 to help win the war. you
can invest part of a days work
twenty-five cents in a Thrift
Stamp. You can do this for
every member of your house
hold and never miss the money
SO invested, and in 50 doing you
and your household become
partners in the great struggle
for human liberty.
In a speech in Memphis the
other day, the Treasurer of the
United States told the editors
that within the past year he had
paid out money enough that il
the whole were in gold and load
ed on wagons, putting two thous-
and pounds to the wagon. and
these wagons made up into a
train that the whole would make
a wagon train forty miles long.
Now, all this vast amount Of
money was not gathered from
the rich. The rich could MOI
have furnished it; for however
we may think of it, people whc
are classed as being rich own
only about one twentieth of the
wealth Of this country. In other
words, people who are classed as
moderate iivers and as poor
folks" own nineteen dollars for
every dollar owned by "ricf
folks. This money was raised
by every conceivable means tina
presented itself to those il
authority. The one cent addec
to a postal card helped alike witt
the hundred million dollars, pait
by the very rich for bonds. s
it is now, all must help. If tbt
whole wealth Of the country is Il
be put behind the war, the poor
er people must do their rar
along with the rich.

thirty Eighth Division Players
Club

The solder boys show, known
as the 18th Division Players
Club, paid our city a visit last
Friday and put on their splendid
show to a capacity house. This
company is composed of some
twenty-odd young men from
three states and make up a COM
pany we'll worth seeing.
1t was thought that these boys
would arrive at one o'clock and
there was some disappointment
because only few arrived at
that time. However, quick fe-
arrangements were made, and
when they came in at 6:35 they
were met at the station and
homes assigned to them and a
car ride was enjoyed.
Long before the hour for the
performance to begin, the people
began to gather at the Public
School auditorium and ere the
hour had arrived the house was
full and soon late corners were
unable to get a view through
open doors. Within a very few
minutes after $50, the curtain
was up and Mr.. Smith, a contor-
ZIONIST, gave an exhibition of his
skill. This was followed in rapid
succession for two and a half
hours with a varied program of
music. fun and frolic. There
was not a dull moment and every
man was an artist in his line,
and everybody was pleased. :
After the show the people
were invited to the home of Mr..
and Mrs. w. E. Savage to be
present at an informal reception
in honor of the visitors. The in
vitation was accepted by a great
many, especially the young
ladies of the city. Notwith-
standing the soldier boys must
have been we'll worn down, they
seemed to enjoy the occasion to
the fullest, and it goes without
saying that our people appreciat-
ed the opportunity to meet this
splendid band of young men who
are fitting themselves to help
drive away the blues" when
they get over there.

If You Can't Buy Liberty Bonds
You Can Buy Thrift Stamps

1t is not expected that more
than one person out of every ten
or twelve will buy Liberty BONDS
or at any rate. the Government
does not consider that more than
that proportion are so situated
financially that it is their duty to
do so. AS an evidence of this,
Chickasaw county has a popula-
ton of %, SAG as shown by the
census of 1910 and only about
1000 are listed among those who
are in duty bound to buy bonds.
But while a person may not be
listed and, therefore, not subject
to be reported as a Stacker, this
fact is no excuse for that person
failing to buy bonds if he him.
self feels that he can do so with
out serious inconvenience to him
self or those dependent upon
him. And should he do so he is
fully as much a Stacker as the
man who Isl assessed and who
fails to meet his known duty.
None are wholly excused.
There is a deity to be performed
hv auarv man. woman and child,
however humbIy situated, and 1t
is simply up to the individual to
do what he can. If you cannot
put in a million dollars you can
put in twenty-five cents. The
