~ W +A*f iA+A - t-'hf
The Secretary Of the Tfeasgre re
Gently declared to the members 4 tn
War Savings Committee which has
charge Of the sale Of War Stamps that
the primary object Of the organl1a-
ton should be the education of the
people TO the idea that AT this time Of
war and national crisis the practice Of
thrift liz not alone 4 matter Of personal
wisdom or advantage but is vitality
necessary TO tie welfare Of the ma
ton. The United States Government
in its prosecution of the war requires
the use Of the products Of labor to the
extent of billions Of dollars per annum,
while at the same time 1t has been
necessary to remove from productive
employment over / 100000 men. This
demand for material earrtt be met if
the normal reefs of our population
are continued.
II these material needs are not met
our Country canLot win the war
President Wilson recently declared:
II suppose rot many fortunate by
products car come out Of war but if
this Country can learn something
about saving it will be worth the cost
of the war; mean the literal cost OF
it in money and resources. ! suppose
we have several times over wasted
more than we are now about to spend.
We have not known that there was
any limit to our resources; we are now
finding out that there may be if we
are not careful"
So business cannot be as usual. We
must confne our purchases to the min
imum in order that we may not con-
sumo goods that the Government
needs, in order that men needed by the
Government for munition works shall
not be employed producing unneces-
sary Injuries for us, in order that the
money which we save may be loaned
to our Government to carry on the
war by investing it in the Government
securities, including the War Savings
Stamps. Of these this County must
take s427 $50 worth in 1918. We are
far behind our schedule.

BOARD OF TRADE NOTES

At the beginning of the war, this
country owed England about $780,
100000, largely represented by Ameri-
can securities, stocks and bonds held
by European investors. This was
paid in full and besides this amount,
we have loaned the Allies within three
years upwards of $4,000, 100000 In
addition to these transactions, we have
been called upon to raise an abnormal
amount for our own war purposes,
and our own country has become the
credit resource Of the world 1t is
conceded that this war is not only a
test of military efficiency but as well
a contest as to the credit resources
and organization of those resources.
II you require a reason as to why
you should save and buy Thrift
Stamps and War Savings Stamps, will
not these facts suffice as a reason?
People who could afford to do so have
bought Liberty Bonds but Uncle Sam
needs the small savings Of the coun-
try to win the war. Whether you
bought Liberty Bonds or not, you can
save and buy War Savings Stamps.
1t is surprising what Is cents per day
will do in the way Of accumulation
and you can feel you are helping your
self and Uncle Sam each day by this
small purchase. Do more il you can,
but do SOMETHINGl

to sell our quota Of War Savings

for an average of $4,000 for every

some time this month and we want to
fill our quota now. This is not a
request for gift. We simply ask you
to put $4,000 on $4,000 at interest

By Harriette Underhill

When Fritz Lciber was fourteen
years old fortune teller told him that
he would play Hamlet before he was
thirty-fve.
Nj. Lciber isn't sure now whether the
seeress told him that because it was
gong to happen on whether it hap
pcned because she told it to him, but
1T is our own private opinion that she
knew 1T as soon as she looked at him
that Is, of course, if he looked at four
teen as he does at thirty-four.
The first thing you think when you
look at Mr.. Leibcr is that he looks ex-
actly like Hamlet and if the Melan-
choly Dane happens to glimpse this
through some leyholc of eternity he
Wall doubtless be much delighted.
We'll, at any rate, the years rolled on,
as years will, and the thirty-fo fourth
birthday came along and passed and
the months won't by and nothing hap.

Who's Who in

Some years ago we found out in song
where Mr.. Dooley went to aud VIC
thought we knew where he came from.
Mr.. Dooley was Irish, so we thought,
but it seems that the world was all
wrong.
The Dooleys are Scotch.
Take it from Johnny Doooley, and
he ought to know. Johnny, of comedy
nomenclature, is Scotch. and the whole
family is Scotch, except those that
were born since the Dooleys arrived in
the new world. Johnny is the clown

the clan of Dooley are William, Gordon

They are brothers and sisters, but
the Scotch element in the Dooleys
begins with Pa Dooley He is one Of

tell came to Mr.. Leibcr and said, How
would you like to play Hamlet?"
1t was just as though you had said to
movie editor, Glow would you like to
be dramatic critc?" or to Moses, "How
! would you like to own your own home
in the Promised Land?" And so, with
out more ado, Mr.. Leiber got ready to
play Hamlet, and just before he was
thirty five he played it. That was last
Wednesday.
If we had not interviewed Mr. Lciber
until after we saw him play Hamlet we
should not have had any misgivings
for we should have known that he was
young, handsome and human.
But, unfortunately, the play which
we chose to see him in was Macbeth, d"
and he was Macduff, a man with a lot
Of whiskers and things to disguise him
so that he might have been--well, any

"And what do you do in the sum-
