Letter From A Flyer

Leland Case, Mrs. j. E. Hoyt's
brother, writes from Rich Field,
Waco, Texas, where he is training
as a flyer in the aviation section.
"We have been putting in full
time lately, from 5:15 a. m. until
9 p. m. Have been flying every
possible opportunity and have about
twenty hours to my credit. Have
had very good luck and have been
complimented by the officers on
few occasions, also called down day
before Yesterday for flying in the
clouds against orders.
Had little experience the first
of last week which brought the
perspiration out on me for a mo-
ment, but for which l was glad of

my confidence. While flying at
about 1000 feet in a strong gale,
another ship drifted very close to
me and in avoiding a collision I
turned too sharply without banking

which is considered the most dan
gerous of anything one can get into
in the air. When | realized that |
had lost control of my ship l re-
membered the instructions for get

straight down for a couple of hun

am learning French every day but

speaks good German is teaching me.
Of course you know l can talk
pretty good German and am i'm

with lots of German prisoners but
they do not say very much about
the war. Usually the guards tell
US not to talk to them. l think
they know that they are better of

Snow Snakes in Idaho

John Heath, who is with the goth
Engineers. in the forestry depart
ment, writes from Washington, D.
C. that his company had all been
given new overalls. A number of
the Idaho boys, following the tradi-
tions of the lumberjacks, cut them
off almost up to their knees. The
inspecting officer asked the reason
why they did this and John said
that in the winter time in Idaho
when the snow gets deep it is neces-
sary to wear their overalls short to
keep the snow snakes from eating
them off. He also stated that Pres
ident Wilson hadn't called upon
him yet but if he didn't come pretty
soon he was going over and pay his
respects.

A Good Investment

.lan in another state was once
asked which of his several invest
ments paid him the highest rate of
interest, and he promptly replied
that it was the money he paid on
subscription to the local paper.
Zone day l wanted to buy cow"
he said, land was intending to
make a trip of about Is miles to
get one that | knew was for sale at
a certain price. But just before
starting l happened to pick up the
local paper and noticed that a near
by neighbor was offering one of the
same breed at dollar less than the
other one. He really sold it to me
for 81 less. saved a long 30-mile
drive and S4 in cash because / was
taking the paper. That is just one
instance, but as a matter of fact
have saved both time and money ir
Is or 20 different ways during the
year, and all thru reading the ad
vertisements. 1 consider that sub
scription the best investment | evel
made, and am investing as regular
as the year rolls around, always
with the most satisfactory results.

Don't Hoard Savings

The war is costing the combined
allies more than $50, 100000 an
hour. The daily fate of this huge
sum is simply waste. A shortening
of the war by days or even hours
would mean the redemption of CO.
lossal waste.
We must bend every financial eff
fort towards shortening the war.
Every small amount invested bv a
child in Thrift Stamps tends to-
wards this end. The influence of
every Thrift Stamp purchased is a
little momentum toward earlier
victory.
Thus child's saving may be in
strumental in definitely shortening
this war and in saving many times
its own value in money, to say moth
ing of conserving human life.
Encourage your child to invest ir
percent interest-bearing Thrift
Stamps instead of merely boarding
his pennies in tin bank.
Thrift Stamps cost 25 cents each
and may be bought at the post
office, from yonr mail carrier anC
at the banks.

Dear Folks:
Just received mama's letter to-
day. l don't understand why you
should worry about me as told you
my trouble was rheumatism. There
is nothing serious about it, but un-
less | get out Of here before the
overseas exam | will be discharged.
Am thinking some of getting dis
charge and going to Hot Springs.
| would then re-enlist as have SIM
ply got to be in when Old Glory
waves over Berlin.
My trouble doesn't bother me
any more than it has many times in
civil life-just in my shoulders; but
it seems that any defect is brought
out by military training.
| realize that you must be having
a very hard time but we must put
our hardships out of our minds
There is room for but one though,
that Of victory.
Don't worry about me. have
enough money to effect permanent

Billions For Defense

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
will offer for subscription every
two weeks between now and the
opening of the next Liberty Loans
Treasury Certificates of Indebted
ness in amounts of five hundred
million dollars or more. If all the
banks Of the country do their share,
and it is contemplated that they
will, three billion dollars of the
certificates will be taken by them
between now and the f1otation Of
the next Liberty Loan.
The raising of five hundred mil
lion dollars every two weeks seems
a tremendous task, yet in relation
to the banking resources of the
United States it seems easy of ac-
complishment.
The resources of the National
banks of the United States on No
vember 20 last were more than
eighteen and half billion dollars
and the resources of state banks
and trust companies on June 20,
1917, were practically twenty-one
billion.
The resources of both have in
creased since the dates named when
the latest reports were made. The
three billion expected by the Secre-
tary of the Treasury is less than 10
percent of the banking resources of
the Nation.
The banking power Of the world
in 1890 was estimated at fifteen
and half billion dollars; the bank.
ing power Of the United States is
now two and a, half times as great
as the banking power of the worlc
as late as that year.
The United States is just begin
ming to demonstrate its unexamplec
power and might. 1t is called up
on to defend the liberty of thu
world, to preserve civilization ane
humanity. 1t is answering in :
way to demonstrate that it is equa
to the task in courage, in genius, ir
men, and in money.

May Seine For Fish

On account of the shortage of
food for our armies and allies, the
governor of Idaho has issued a proc
lamation stating that the seining of
fish will be allowed in most of the
rivers of Idaho. No fish so caught,
however, will be allowed to be sent
out of the state. Permits for the
seining of fish and the selling of
same will be issued by the State
Game Department on application.
