LIBERTY BOND COUPONS
GO FOR W. S. STAMPS

Three of every four, at least, of
those who cashed in their liberty
loan coupons yesterday converted the
proceeds into war savings stamps,
Many times there was no exchange of
money other than to make the right
change in addition to the coupons for
the value of stamps purchased.
This is a result that gratifles d.
rector D. j. Callahan. in charge Of the
w. S. S. campaign in the District of
Columbia. After a survey of the re-
investment situation in the banks of
Washington he declared himself well
satisfied.
1t is impossible to give actual fig
ures, of the sales of stamps effected
by such conversion of coupons. as
there were also a great number who
first cashed their coupons and then
used the actual money, in whole or
in part, for stamp purchases. But

sales did an extraordinary days bust

Quote From Apostle Paul.

1t also was commended that the amend
ment was undesirable under a strict in
depreciation of the Scriptures. quoting
the thirty fourth and thirty-fifth verses
OF the first epistle of the Apostle Paul
to the Corinthians: Let your women
keep silence in the churches: For it is
not permitted unto them to speak
- and land II they will learn any
thing, let them ask their husbands at
home. for it is shame for women to
speak in the church.
Through adoption of the amendment
women are now entitled not only to rep
resent their churches in the conven-
ton, but also to hold any office in the
convention, which is the highest ad-
ministrative organization in the denomi-
nation.

pinned war cross on his pajamas,
and how, without any warning, one of

planted "a nice rosy kiss on the ugly
mug of yours truly" There Is no rea-
son to believe that this is love affair.

family.

hands were cool and their uniforms

but he was a man, wide of shoulder
and small of girth. He had a fiat
pack and his close-cropped hair was
inclined TO be curly. BY and by he
became rational. The first thing he
realized was the cooling touch of the
nurses hand on his feverish brow.

ried her, and they lived happily ever
after.
