BRADY CARRIERS SPEECH AT
NARROW GAP
The Necessity Of Saving

We all know that this world is in
the greatest struggle it was ever in
before fighting the greatest and
hardest battles that men have ever
experienced. Every man, woman,
and child Of our more than one
hundred million population should
help TO win this war. There are
very few who cannot afford TO buy
baby bond" each month. Your
money is safe in the Governments
hands. IL is not like being in a box
1t earns you one cent more each
month. Every twenty-five cents
that can be saved that would be
spent for Injuries or without benefit,
should be put into a Thrift Stamp.
There is no loss when you invest
your money in War Savings Stamps.
We must raise everything we can.
We must support those who are
fighting our battles for us. There
can be no sacrifice made as great
as that which is being made at the
front in France.
We could give all we have and
that would be nothing compared
with what our soldier boys are
giving-their lives. When you in
vest your money in War Savings
Stamps, you are helping your
country and saving your money at
the same time. Anyone could save
enough in a month to buy a Thrift
Stamp or a War Savings Stamp. A
War Savings Stamp will keep a SOL
der nearly two weeks. Set aside
sums Of money monthly and buy
baby bonds.
More than ninety per cent Of the
population Of the United States has
yet 10 learn systematic saving.
There were three million people
who subscribed 10 the first Liberty
Loan, ten million TO the second, and
seventeen million TO the third.
Eighty per cent have failed TO sign
for single dollar. II that eighty
per cent would sign as much, ac-
cordingly, as the twenty per cent
did, il would make a great differ
ence. We must work and save; that
is what il takes 10 win the war.
There are two certain things that
we must save, and have 10 save,
and try TO get others TO save-that
is wheat and sugar; they are the
most important; but we must save
other things also. The more we
save, the less lives are lost. Every
stamp YOU buy means that much
added TO our country's bank ac-
count. II everybody would study
their condition, they would buy less
and save more Of the things that
can be shipped 10 France.
DO not spend your money for
foolishness. because there will be
a time when you will need it.
People who let others fight. suffer
and die for them while they do
are slackers. Buy baby |
bonds and save our country from
The Huns.
Very few people now fail TO
realize that we are fighting a brutal,
relentless enemy. We must work |
md save. II we don't the soldiers

William and Harrie. And 10 and be-
hold up stepped three beautiful dark
haired young ladies, each with a mil
lion-dollar smile which caused the Of
ficer to gasp, blink and then wipe Of
his brow.
AS soon as the sheriff could recover
he asked for an explanation and
learned that Daddy" smalley was
some stubborn individual and years
ago had his heart set on having q
family Of boys. He was so sure that
before his first-born had arrived he
named it John. His disappointment
was great when he was blessed with q
daughter, but he stood pat and vowed
the name John would stand. His sec.
ond child proved to be another girl
but the father had already named 1t
William, and of course that name had
to stand for all time. When the third
babe was born Daddy" was not quite
80 sure, but he had the nerve left to
compromise and declared in advance
the name would be "Harrie"-and II
was another girl.
Not until the drafting for the army
came about did the old man weaken

to become regular girls by change
