ONE WEEK MADE
HIM A VETERAN

Two air raids, high explosive shell
bombardment, a shrapnel storm which
he went through bareheaded, an at
tack of 'three day fever" and high
probability that he is inhabited by
coolies, all within his first week, made
Charles Alden Bonfls, a Red Cross
worker, feel that he's almost a veter-
an" Mr.. Bonfils had been rejected
by every branch of the Service be-
cause Of color blindness, but when
the Germans "big push" started he
couldn't stay out of it-said he "just
had to get in somewhere" So he
signed up with the Red Cross "as
stretcher bearer, casualty searcher,
or anything, just so he got to help"
He did, this extract from letter
to friend in the Central Division of
the American Red Cross tells bit
of it:
Il came here a week ago today.

REGISTRATION OF WAR
BONDS Is URGED BY
LOAN OFFICIALS
important Information on ibar+v
Bonds Given Out by Gov
eminent Officials.

Important information concerning
the registration of Liberty Loan bonds.
as given out by the bond department
OF the Federal Reserve Bank of Chi
cagO contains the following ouotation
from Il letter from the treasury de-
partment:
With reference to acceDtino suh-
scriptions for bonds to be registered
in the names of persons giving only
initials rather than the full name T
nave to say that it is the intent Of
the department, not for its own sake
but for the sake of the holders of req
istered bonds, to have them Registered
IN such manner as to enable the said
holders, or their legal representatives.
10 dispose of them in the SIMPLEST and
readieSt manner. Bonds issued 70 wom
en- under their initials. or under the
Initials of their husbands. are not read
lily transferable in case of the death
of the holder
Though letters of administration
would be issued il the legal name Of
the deceased, and the bonds would be
inscribed in her name, under her mi
tails, or those of her husband, as the
case might be, the letters of admin
istratiOn and the bonds would not
agree as to the name. and therefore
the administrator of Mrs. Sarah A.
Smith, say, would have to prove that
she and Mrs. Thomas w. Smith Cor
Mrs. S. Smith, were one and the same
person. 1t is to avoid troubles of this
character that the department has In
sisted on receiving the legal name Of
persons subscribing for registered
bonds.
"Of course, the department cannot
refuse to issue bonds under initials if
the parties interested insist upon it,
but it is requested that you, in all
cases where it is possible insist on re-
ceiving the full names of persons sub
Scribing for registered bonds"

but gave it up, and helped get the
wounded into an old farm house.
81 worked all night. Next day,
when I'd had two hours sleep, they
packed US off to a place still nearer
the front The boche three high ex-
plosives at US, trying to locate bat
terv not far away. They set fire to
an ammunition dump, and for a quart
er of an hour we were lodging eX-
ploding shells. That night they were
afraid the boche might lombard the
hospital, so we were all sent back.
"Airplanes had been lowering over
us, dropping messages and we had
a hard rainstorm. Had the three
day fever but got out the second day
Think l have coolies, and begin to
feel like a vet already"

FIGURES SHOW WHAT
YOUR DOLLARS WILL DO
What Liberty Bond Will Buy fer NV
Boy "over There"

Suppose you have a son with the
American expeditionary forces, and
suppose you are steady buyer Of Lib
erty Loan bonds. Did you ever ask
yourself what Your boy gets out of
IT, when you lay down new 500 bill
and say: 81 want another hundred
dollar Liberty Bond?" Here are some
facts and figures officially made up by
the war department:
Your one hundred dollar Liberty
Bond will buy your boy one outfit of
clothing and sleeping gear, amounting
TO S91.63. The change is 1887 and
that Is just enough TO give him his
"eats" for 1914 days.
This war is now in Its fifth year
has been running on about 1,50O DAYS
The nineteen and half days board
left for the boy ont Of your hundred
collar Liberty Bond wouldn't amount
10 much If the fighting should go on
a few years more. That s91.63 outfit
would be pretty we'll used up at the
end OF few months Of campaign
ing.
Your hundred dollar war bond shows
the best possible disposition on your
part, but unless you buy more than
one, somebody else has to put up
money to keep your boys hungry stom-
ach lined with bacon and fighting
food.
That illustrates in a simple way the
urgent necessity for liberality in buy
Ing Fourth Liberty Bonds. What
you gave the government on the
first, second and third loans has been
used up long ago. Your boy is lover
there" risking his life and all that
he has every minute Of the day Sure
ly it is "up to you" to do absolutely
all you can to keep that boy fed and
clothed and cared for.
But one point was overlooked I'm fig-
uring the proceeds Of the hundred dol
lar war bond. II bought the boy an
outfit Of clothes and 10 days board,
but it didn't buy him a gun nor a
trench knife-nOt even a revolver or
a hand grenade. Worse than all that,
the hundred dollars didn't cover knife,
fork or spoon; nor did it give the boy
a pick and shovel for intrenching
when the Boche fire gets too hot.
Somebody else had to buy another
bond to supply those things and give
your boy the ammunition he needs for
offense and defense.
Look at few more figures:
When your boy goes over the top
there must be nice barrage laid
down to protect him. Each 75-mllli-
meter shell that Is fired costs $13.
Each 6-inch shell costs $50. The -
inch high explosive she'll loaded costs
about $270. The 16-inch shell loaded
with INT costs about $1,000, and
the smokeless powder to fire 1t costs
1925 more. The gun 1t Is fired
from sets the government back S175,-
coo. That is not all the wear and
tear on big caliber guns Is terrible, so
that the life OF the tube Is very brief.
All these things point clearly to the
mistake people make when they say:
"Oh, have bought several war bonds.
I think have done my share"
That Is miles from the truth You
have not done your share as long as
there is dollar Of your capital or In
come that you don't absolutely have to
have to keep life in your body. All
the rest ought to be spent for Fourth
Liberty Bonds.

"We'll All Go Broke If We Have
To-But There's No One
Busted Yet"
H1HvI<v2<V1HAHAHfH2Rf1fHS
BY WILLIAM HERSCHELL.


BY WILLIAM HERsCHELL.
When l hear some folks complaint
Bout the burdens they mus, bear
Just to keep our soldiers fightin'
In the trenches cover there"
Then | want to show a picture,
One | saw tn other day,
Of little Belgian youn'un
An her granny, old an gray
In each face was tears and terror,
Born of Teuton greed and lust,
An l pledged my all to Freedom,
If to give my all l must.
Then a new song woke within me,
A refrain l can't forget;
'Well all go broke if we hat t.
But there's no one busted yeti"
None of us is facin' hunger,
None need fear to seek his bed
Lest demon in a Gotha
Hurl bomb from overhead.
Here we go along a-singin'
Only now and then we sigh,
An we never see a soldier
'Cept our own a-marching by.
Folks, we'd ought to be so grateful
To each fightin' Yankee boy
That tn sacrifice of givin'
Should be measured as a joy.
So let's do our part-full-hearted-
Smile and say without regret:
"We'll all go broke if we hat t.
But there's no one busted yet"
Buy your Bonds-Load the guns:
Buying Early halts the Huns.
Buy Your Bond Early
Wherefore delay?
Head off Tomorrow
Sign up Today.
Buy Your Bonds now
And save your face"
Delay and lodging
Mean disgrace.
