SAVING STAMPS.

Virtually every housewife in the
country is familiar with the trading
stamp or gift certificate which is Civ
en- by many merchants and manufac-
turers with merchandise, and has at
various times saved such stamps and
certificates until she had required
number, when she presented these
stamps or certificates to the mer-
cants for redemption, receiving an
article i'll merchandise or cash, which
is equivalent TO Il discount.
Through the Thrift Stamps the U.
S. Government ocers every house
wife in the country rare opportu-
nifty Of doing cher bit" for her coun-
try and at the same time creating
a savings account for her own Sc
curity.
BY saving the pennies, nickels and
dimes until she has accumulated rs
cents she can buy Thrift Stamps
from the postman ut the door, or the
rural letter carrier, or mt any post
Office or bank or trust company. When
she has her thrift card full-16 Thrift
Stamps, she may take the card and
with II additional cents during Jan
uary, leach month thereafter an adj
ditional cent must be added, secure
IL War Savings Stamp, which in five
years, January 1923, brings her SIS
in cash, receiving SO cents interest
on her investment of $412
In addition to rendering her coun-
try patriotic service by saving and
lending the United States Government
her savings, she has made a good in
vestment with gilt-edge security.
These are days of enlarged spheres
Of usefulness. Even the hen feels it.
Formerly it was the hens chief bust
ness to lift the mortgage off the farm
but now many farmers wives are US
ing their egg money to buy War
Savings Stamps.

ms personality on his hearers in a
way long to be remembered.
In his preaching he showed n thor
ongh knowledge Of both the Old and
the New Testament, and he could
make the tex on which he based his
sermons so clear and plain that the
most illiterate listeners could under
stand the divine truth in it. He was
unselfish in his views toward church
es of other faith than his own and
said, while we believe in being
Christians only, we do not believe
that we are the only Christians.-Lee

FARMERS SHOUL CLAIM EX-
EMPTION FOR SOIL TILLERS.

The official bulletin issued by the
Bureau of information Of the gov
eminent urges farmers who have en-
ployees subject TO The next draft to
claim exemption for them at once re-
garding the planting of large crops
as being equaiiy as important as the
traminy Of nm army The bulletin
says:
The following statement has been
issued by the United States employ
ment service of the Department of
Labor:
"a new draft of about 10000 men
shortly will be called to the colors.
The provost marshal general has or
dered that men actively, assiduously
and completely engaged in the plant
ing OF cultivation of crop but who
are listed in Class l of the draft and
within the new quota should be de-
ferred until the end of the new quota.
"The local draft boards being i'll
dicial bodies, cannot defer the call of
such men, however, unless the far
mers employing them support their
claim for such deferred classification
with affidnvits. 1t is therefore of Wit
al Importance that farmers Smmc-
diately execute and file such aGida-
Wits with the local boards.
IF farmers whose hands are cf
fected in this new call fail to follow
this advice, they should have no ex-
cuse for complaint if their men arc
taken from them ut this critical time
1t will be useless and unreasonable
later to protest if they have done
nothing to retain their help. Imme-
diate action on the part of every far
mer whose employees are affected is
essential and should not he delayed
under any circumstances"

AN ESTIMATE OF THE CHRIS.
TAN EVANGELIST, VII.
LIAM BURLEIGH.

Some days ago was colaed at the
Christian church in Pennington a
great revival. 1t was not because of
the number of professions of faith, or
the number of additions to the church
but because of the preaching and
teaching of the evangelist, William
Burleigh.
People of all denominations turned
out to hear him. His plea was for :
united church; his defense of the Bible
against all kinds of wildcat theolo
gy, md false doctrine; his even earn
ost appeal for sinners to accept tn,
Christ, and his gospel has stamped

German Prisoners
To Work on Roads

WASHINGTON, April 16.-The War
Department has decided to make the
German prisoners Of war now held in
this country earn their keep. Orders
were sent to-day to the army officers
commanding the enemy prison camps
at Forts Mcpherson and Oglethorpe,
Georgia, authorizing them to utilize
the labor of the 1870 inmates in COM
pleting new system of roads about
the posts.
These prisoners, who were taken
from the German raiders Cormorant,
Prinz Eitel Friedrich and Seeadler,
were members of the Imperial Naval
Reserve. Thirty-eight others, taken
from the U-5S by the destroyer Fan
ming, are now on their way to this
country. They are expected to arrive
next week, and will be sent immedi-
ately to Fort Mcpherson.
Under the regulations for the con-
troll of prisoners promulgated by the
Secretary of War the adjutant general
of the army is given authority to es-
tahlish the rate of wages to be paid
for the labor of prisoners. 1t is ex-
pected that a sum representing 25 or 30
cents a day over and above the main
tenance of each prisoner will be fixed.
The proposal that interned aliens
also be put to work has been taken
under cons Iteration.

Phone on Moving
Train Proves Successful
[StuF CorrespondenceI

WASHINGTON, April 16.-An official
report from Moncton, N. B., made pub.
lie here to-day, states that in the pres
ence of officials of the Canadian gov
ernment and railways and representa-
tIves of other Canadian lines, the Mac
Farlane device, named after its in
ventor, w. w. MacFarlane, of Phila-
delphia, for voice transmission between
moving train and dispatcher's
office, has been given it's public tests
and demonstrated its efficiency
The device worked successfully in
connection with trunk line telephones
IN general commercial service and also
between car Of the train and the To-
comotive. The report continues:
The transmission in this system of
communication is made through wheel
and axle without the aid of con-
tributing medium. In addition to the
ready interchange of conversation be-
tween locomotive and car when the
tram was fully coupled together, an
equally successful test was made with
the locomotive uncouplcd and removed
some distance from the first car.
Under these conditions an order js.
sued by the conductor from the car to
the engineer in the locomotive in
structing the latter to return and re-
couple was effective instantly, as was
an order from divisional ,superin-
tcndent among the guests to tho dis
patcher's Office in the Moncton ward
In this latter instance a list of car
numbers was transmitted and correct
ly recorded by the receiver"

City College Will
Drop German Flags
Ensigns of German Universe
ties Ordered Removed by
Trustees

The flags of Heidelberg and Ber-
lin universities, the gift of these two
institutions to the College Of the City
of New York, will be removed from
their accustomed places in the Great
Hall of the college to-day and laid
away until peace comes and sentiment
toward Germany and German things
undergoes another change.
This was decided last night at the
regular monthly meeting of the trus-
tees Of the college in the Board Of
Education Building, when the follow
ing resolution was passed:
"Resolved, That the president of the
college be directed to cause the ban
ners now hanging in the Great Hall Of
the college in honor Of Germany to
be removed, and to remain undisplayed
during the continuance Of the war be-
tween the United States and that coun-
try"
The question of allowing flags of
German universities to remain dis
played in an American college at this
time was originally advanced by Jonas
f. Whitlaw, Of the class of TO, who
wrote to the trustees six weeks ago,
complaining against their continued
presence.
At the March meeting Of the trus-
tees the matter was referred to a COM
mittce that reported favorably at last
nights meeting. The resolutions were
adopted unanimously.

Board to Regulate
Cotton, Wool and Hides

WASHINGTON, April 16.-In it's
plans to regulate the cotton, woollen
and leather industries the War Indus
tries Board, it was said to-day, has no
disposition at this time to go into the
question of fixing the price of raw cot
ton, wool or hides. Before price
agreement is reached with the manu-
facturers a thorough study will be
made of each industry with a view to
determining the general effect of price
fixing
In working prices the board and it's
price-fxing committee will consider
the situation from the viewpoint of the
consumer as we'll as that of the ma
tion's war needs md will endeavor to
fix price that will be fair to the con-
sumer, manufacturer and producer
lhc prlce-fixlng committee is said to
be of the opinion that with a regula-
tion of the price of commodities enter
ing into civil life must come a limita-
tion of individual consumption for the
maintenance of an economic balance.
In dealing with the subject the War In
dustries Board will proceed with the
conviction that the war and civilian
programmes cannot be carried out to-
gether. While one of the chief aims of
the board and the price fixing commit
tee Will be to protect the civil popula-
ton, the war programme will come first
as long as proper protection can be
gwen to the economic fibre of the ma
ton.

aviators shot down by Lieutenant A. S.
Winslow, Of Chicago, and Lieutenant
Douglas Campbell, of California, Sun

they encountered the American avia,
tors for a German camp, according to
information to day.
Wlnslow and Campbell were playing
cards in an aviation shed. when they
received the report that two enemy
avlators were headed in their direction
at height of about 5000 feet. Both
men, who were on alert duty and fully
dressed IN aviation costume. ran on the
field, jumped into their machines and
mounted into the air to repel the in
vaders. Later they were modest in
giving recital Of their experiences.
Lieutenant Winslow said
Each Picked Out Man
when we got up in the air we saw
the Germans approaching. Campbell
picked out one and started for him,
and | started for the other. | got onto
the trail of my man and shot round
of machine gun bullets into the ma
chine. lie looped around my machine
| mannuvred for position and again
shot around him. His machine quiv-
cred for an instant, then nosed down
ward, landing almost intact. circled
around to make sure that his machine
was out of commission. then arose to
help Campbell, but he had already
mastered his adversary
Lieutenant Campbell said:
MY man saw me first and fired a
round at me. Some of the bullets
punctured my machine, but did it lit
tie damage. finally got over him and
let fly. His machine caught fire and
started to fall. | followed it to the
ground"
Neither Of Foe Killed
Campbell's adversary was badly
burned about the face, but will re-
cover. Winslow's opponent was unhurt.
Both of the enemy airmen were less
than twenty-five years of age Wins
lows captive, who had been flying for
two years, said in German:
Well, the war is over for me-" when
made a prisoner
Both Winslow and Campbell were
eXclted and nervous after landing.
Winslow walked up to his German nd
versary and handed him cigarette.
then remounted his machine and
climbed IN the air to escape the crowd
OF persons who had congregated about
him.
A French woman. who owned a cafe
near by, heard of the exploit and, seiz.
ing bottle of wine. ran on the field
with the intention of presenting it TO
the American conquerors. She saw one
OF the German aviators standing in
the midst of a large crowd and mis-
took him for an American and gave
hlm the wine, which the German
drank. The woman later learned of
her mistake and was very much disaD-
pointed.
