THRIFT.

II has been shown TO us that if We
hope 10 win this war we must save.
We must save ths pennies and nickelS,
for these make our dollars. This be-
ing true, il is up to our girls and boys
10 do their share, and they are given
the opportunity through the Thrift and
War Saving Stamps. We have been
carrying on a campaign, not through the
speeches of well-known men, but
through boy mad girl speakers in our
school. The following was our plan:
Beginning at the fourth grade and
running through the eighth, We held a
contest of all students in those grades.
They made four-minute speech on the
way TO help win the war BY the buying
of Thrift and War Saving Stamps.
Each grade chose its best speaker 10
represent them in 4 contest held before
the whole school at chapel hour. From
these speakers we chose the best four
minute speaker in the school. We call
him our -Four Minute Man.
The winner receives 4 certificate and
has his or her name listed at Washing
ton with the names Of the thousands OF
other boy and girl speakers of the Unit
ed States. For your interest We have
printed a list of the speeches. We want
YOU to know about the work.

THE HOPE OFITHE WORLD
By HAROLD BELL WRIGHT.

the crash of fallen cities and the cries
of tortured humanity, the voice of
the Red Cross carries clear and strong
the one message of hope to our war
burdened world.
The black horror Of this worlds
crisis would be unbearable were it
not for the spirit and work of this
mighty force The normal mind re-
fuses to contemplate the situation
without this saving power
1t is the knowledge that in every
city, town and hamlet, men, women
and children are united in this work
of declaring to the world, through
the Red Cross, our message Of mercy
and brotherhood, that keeps our
hearts from sinking under the burden
of woe and sustains our faith in hu-
man kind. 1t is the constant daily,
almost hourly touch with the Red
Cross work that is felt by every citi-
zen in the land, that inspires US with
courage and hope.
Out of this hell of slaughter the
Red Cross will guide the warning ma
tons to heaven of worldwide peace
and brotherhood
Because p is the living expression
of those ideals and principles in de-
fense of which we are giving our all
in lives and material wealth-because
on every field of death it is proclaim
ing its message of life-because it
keeps ever before US and the world
the cause for which we war-because
it will preserve us in the hour OF our
victory from defeating ourselves-the
Red Cross is the hope Of the world
Shepherdstown register. [volume] (Shepherdstown, Va. [W. Va.]) 1849-1955, 1918-05-09

THE hope of the world is not alone
that the armies of humanity will
be victorious, but that the spirit and
purpose of our warfare will prevail in
our victory. The hope of the world
is in the Red Cross, because the Red
Cross is voicing this spirit and pur-
pose that must, through the force OF
our arms, triumph. Just to the de-
gree that we can evidence this Red
Cross spirit of mercy and brother
hood we will hold true in the dam
gerous hour Of victory to the ideals
that have forced us into the trenches
in the defense of human rights and
human liberty,
The one sane and saving thought
in this delirium of death that now
possesses the world is the Red Cross.
Wherever the storms Of battle
hell rage, amid the fires of ruthless
destruction, in trench and camp and
hospital, these soldiers Of mercy with
heroism unsurpassed are carrying the
flag of the highest conceivable ideals
of humanity The ideals for which
our armies have taken the field are,
by these unarmed hosts, proclaimed
to friend and foe, in that unmistaka-
BILE language of universal mercy and
brotherhood. In the terms of wasted
towns rebuilt, of broken humanity
salvaged, of dying children rescued,
of desolate families succored, the Red
Cross declares the cause for which we
war and proclaims the principles and
ideals that must and will in the end
prevail. Above the thunder of the
guns, the roar of exploding mines,

Teachers. boys and girls, our govern

saved twenty-five cents YOU can buy a
United States Thrift Stamp. When YOU
have bought sixteen United States
Thrift Stamps you can get War Saw

SO you are saving your money and help

boys and girls to save and do our duty
like our brothers are doing over there.

Victory is certain, boys and girls,
when We have men and money, and to
have these things, We must all save.
Our boys over there require more mon
ey TO supply them with what they need.
They need clothes, guns and ammuni-
ton and other supplies which they can
not do without.
This is the richest nation on the face
Of the globe, and IL every boy and girl,
as well as the grown-up people will save
we will lick Kaiser Bill, and then We
will be the proudest as we'll as the rich

Now, boys and girls, get to work and
save your money and buy Thrift Stamps.
Will you do it? Then you can say you
helped to win the war. Think enough
OF those dear boys at the front to save,
and don't let the flag Of Germany wave
over our native land, but let the Stars
and Stripes protdly float over Germany

The Gospel According to You.

There's a sweet old story translated for man,
But writ in the long, long ago
The Gospel according 10 Mark. Luke and John
OF Christ and His mission below.
Men read and admire the Gospel OF Christ
With IFS love so unfailing and true;
But what do they say and what do they think
OF 1.-THE Gospel according 10 you2"
'Tis wonderful story. that Gospel OF love.
As il shines in the Christ life divine:
And oh that IFS truth might be told again
In the story OF your life and mine
Unseishness mirrors in every scene;
Love blossoms on every Sod
And back from IFS vision the heart comes TO tell
The wonderful goodness OF God.
You are writing each day letter TO men.
Take case that the writing is true
'Tis the Gospel that some men will read
That Gospel according 10 you.

Friends. am here 20 explain TO the
best of my ability the Thrift and war
Savings Stamps The Thrift Stamp Is
nothing but a piece of paper that costs
twenty-five cents. After obtaining SIX
teen twenty-five cent pieces OF paper
with a few more pennies we can get
War Savings Stamp which costs S4.lo
this month. and next month II will cost
S4.l6. or increasing one cent month";
and on December 81, 1918, IL will cost
S4.23. So you see that the sooner you
buy the cheaper they are. a Thrift
Stamp is a piece Of paper also and
dollar bill is a piece Of paper, but you
know that there is gold and silver In the
United States Treasury backing II Up
and therefore you are not AFRAID OF
losing il or not getting your money Tor
IT, Friends, the same thing is backing
up these stamps, so now you can see
that they are not merely piece OF pa
per, but money. Do you not have faith
enough in your country 10 think that
she would not pay your money backr
Why you and I should buy these
s,amns. Because our brothers and sons
and our neighbors' brothers and sons
are making our fight abroad, and We
must help then TO tread Germany In the
dust never to rise again. Yes, ] repeat
IT, eve must help" Yes, help In the
greatest war that will ever be written
on the pages Of history. Victory de-
pends upon whether they are sufficiently
supplied with guns and ammunition ana
other necessaries TO win, and their con-
dition on returning depends upon the
care taken OF them in and behind the
lines.
It is up to US to supply the amount OF
money Tor our fighting men who are Of
fering their lives for us and our eoun-
try Could We do less and remain true
TO ourselves, our country and our hagF
"Extrayagance cost blood" Yes, the
blood Of heroes, the blood OF those
Americans fighting for you and me III

France for you and me, for God and our
native land.

No, it is the penny that each boy and

Seeding is under way all through
Sioux county and by the last of the
week nearly all the farmers who

In the Fort Yates neighborhood
the earliest seeding reported was
done by John Gates, who finished
seeding 80 acres to wheat last Fri
day.
Andrew Raven who farms west of
Fort Yates, commenced work of
seeding 300 acres to wheat last
Thursday.
Berg & Hokanson started satur-

south Of Fort Yates.
Chas. Beckworth began seeding
20 acres Friday.
Albert Gipp has also been busy
in the field this week.
G. j. Coughlin expects to have
some grain planted this week, and
will then begin breaking 20 acres
for flax.
The Indian farmers are also busy
in the fields and have received their
seed. This season the Indians will
have their crop in earlier than ever
before in the history of the reserva-
