25 cents. The purchase price Of War
Savings Certificate Stamps. being $412
in the months OF December. 1917, and
Januarv. 1918, increases at the rate Of
] cent per month thereafter.
In order to absolutely secure the
widest distribution of these Certifi-
cate Stamps, It Is against the law for
any one person to own more than
$1,000 Of them.
In order to avoid initiation in the
currency Of the country. these stamps
are made non-negotiable. payable to
the purchaser and not to the bearer.
and. therefore, are not transferable.
Should purchaser wish to cash them
In before they mature, they viii be
redeemed at any postoffice. and inter-
est will be returned at the rate OF ap.
proxlmately per cent per annum,
but they cannot be sold from hand to
hand
II is the hope and expectation Of the
government that these notes win be
distributed among at least 25,O0O,OOO
Inhabitants Of the United States Of
America.
The underlying principle behind this
whole Issue is that $4,000. 100000 Of
the war loan win ee held by at least
25.000,000 people of the nation who
have really saved that amount within
the war period. as II is distinctly a
thrift and saving issue and Is known
as the Thrift Stamps and War Say
ings Certificate Stamps. It has forits
additional object the inducement Of
those who carry pennies, nickels.
dimes. quarters and dollars in cup
boards, safe deposit boxes or other
places to turn In the ready currency
cr coin to the government II. order
that It might be circulated throughout
the nation and thus strengthen to that
extent the financial power OF the ma
tion.
II win be seen, therefore, that, aside
from the raising OF a war fund, each
rs cents or s4.12 contributed to this
distinctly thrift war saving plan win
leave with the people of the nation
these stamps, which win be redeemed
1t the end OF five years. thus avoiding
to that extent any Initiation and also
putting the people OF the nation, IRE.
spective Of their station In life, in q
position Of owning $4,000. .oOO. 200 Of the
war loan.
A better security was never Issued,
nor can be issued. II Is the mortgage
Of all the United States and its pos.
sessions. II Is guaranteed by the 10y,
atty. fealty and confidence OF 100000,
900 people Of the nation. and. there
fore, II Is expected that Il WIN receive
the unanimous endorsement Of the
men. women and children Of the ma
ton.

His fellow ship and counsel will be greatly missed and in'lbidding him good bye many have spoken heartfelt words of regret of his going. The best wishes, of the people of Ozark, regardless of church affiliations go with him to his new field of labor

Do You Need Corn?

l just learn from Mir. A. c. Graham. County Agent of South Franklin, that we can buy ear corn for about '1.4O laid down here. Mr. Graham just returned from a trip in Iowa and Missouri and upon my inquiry said. that we could put our orders in with theirs.
 It is however very imperative that l know exactly ghow much to::order. so every farmer who needs and wants corn is urged to notify me immediately. Now do not wait till some time later, but do it now. or you may be too late, SO 1 must know next week how much to order.

l am in the second section. One gun is named Agnes. {" We usually call her Saint Agnes" but sometimes we call her the little whore, that's when she's wicked. She's the oldest gun in the battery. but she's always ready for action. l told you . long time ago about how we named the first section gun Diana. l dislike heathen gods and the gun proved as fickle as any heather god. She cost the battery two men. You have heard the story by this time.
 wonder how The Spectator is getting along as the years go by. Are the presses getting worn, does paper cost much since the war. do the tramp printers still come on Sundays and leave Sat urdays. do they still have news that you dare not print but would like to, does the Judge (Rrwin) still sit by the stove and read the papers. do the rats still eat the paper in the cabinets as they did years ago when 1 wore my first long pants? Much time has passed. tho it doesn't seem long, and I'm sure that the old days will never be again. War has worn away the sharp edges of memory. l wonder tonight if I'll ever again follow the paths of my youth. Will l write copy and read proof and worry to make e both ends meet on Saturday night. or will be a happy-go- lucky printer. out of San Fran cisco. New Orleans. China or South America as fancy wills. Whatever my future, l care not what. I've sat and studied human life from many. many angles. in many places. and tho in years I'm not 90 oh I'm really grixzled and gray. If l come out of the war I'll build my name a higher niche in the newspaper game. If l don't come out of the war. l have a God who'll quiet and ease my soul as it leaves my body and does all that a human asks of a Rod-give it a happy hunting ground" or a perfect oblivion.
 With lots of love,

Dearest Mother:-Just receiv- ed three letters from you-one was written at the springs. and justiafterIyou had gone home, another from Little Rock. They were all good letters.
 Glad McHarley Smith got home safe. Theron Agee, did you say he was in the Marine Corps?

 Honestly, 1 think the war will be finished before many more winters go by.
 No. there is nothing in partic- ular that you can send me. get all the socks and clothes l can wear and all l need to eat and smoke and more stuff than I have time to read. Our actual needs are we'll supplied. All that we do not get are the small. extra luxuries which are supposed to maintain the refined morale. The Germans seem to be strong for these things. They carry enough stuff { around on their back, even up to the very front lines. to start to housekeeping shoe polish, toilet articles. and books things that mighty few Americans would carry kilo- meter.

 This part is written almosysa month later. after some rough and tumble fighting-in what is probably the hottest sector in France. As usual. we came out with honor. l am getting few days rest at the echelon. or horse line, and having. couple of ab- scessed teeth fixed. This is the first time that l have been away from the guns 4 for onlya rest, but the battery,had a couple of spare gunner corporals and l was lucky enough to draw relief. Seems almost like teirg at hom here twenty kilometers behind the lines. The.band.plays morn ing and nightsand we have plen. ty to read and candles to burn. besides extra rations. The first thing I'did when 1 got off the line was to grab asfew hours sleep. see the dentist, take bath and put on some clean clothing. and then!a letter..to you. Re-read your letter.of Oct. ? this morning in which yon said you hadn't heard from me for three months. l have been so busy that l: have not written as often as have wished. but l have..at least writ. ten more. .oftengthan every:three months. Up to last night l had not washed my face or brushed my teeth for two weeks. The little sleep that l did get was taken curled up in a remodeled shell hole. with my hip- boots. overcoat, slicker, gas mask and helmet on.
