generously made by the mothers OF
our land in unselfshly offering their
sons to bear arms and, if need be, to
die in defense of liberty and justice,
and that we especially remember
these mothers in our prayers, pray
ing God for His divine blessing upon
them and upon their sons whose
whole-hearted service is now given to
the country which we love-"
Following is Secretary Bakers
message:
ITO the Mothers of America:
bring you a message from your boys
in France. They are cheerful and
earnest and full of fght-as proud
of their country as their country is
proud of them.
From you they yet draw inspira-
tion, and to you they send a message
filed with a determination and with
hope. They hope to make this war
the last war that America ever will
have to fight against a military des-
potism and they want to fight until
that nope Has pGOH dCulcf6u.
"They ask you to be of good cheer.
to be with them fondly in your
thoughts and to sustain your hearts
in the day of battle as they will sus-
tain theirs"
This is Secretary Daniels message:
ITO the Mothers of Defenders of
Democracy: The courage of the mo-
theirs in the homes is reflected by the
bravery of the men at the front. 1t is
always true that the morale of a
nations soldiers and the ideals for
which they fight are born in the
spiritual heroism of nations moth
ers. Let the nation join in inter-
national prayer to all mothers of de-
Tenders Of democracy TO cheer and
strengthen them, their sons and the
nation itself to fight to win the fight
that must be won
Our country stands before the
world as a nation fighting for the
ideals of nations, and the world
knows that the mothers of America
are sending men of ideals to the
front. In that lies our strength.
Faith and prayer are the two basic
supports of national idealism. In

democracy-fhere are 100000 of
them-eannot but aid every soldier

Communication
To the Citizens Of Cambridge:

To the citizens OF Cambridge:
The War Savings Stamps thirty
day drive is now on, and it is the du-
ty of every man, woman and child
to buy stamps and to buy now. Our
country is at war, and the most
critical stage of the conflict is now,
and there never was a time in the
history of the world when every
ounce of energy was so badly needed
to protect peace loving and God
fearing people from the tyranny and
oppression OF a powerful and relent-
less foe. In the face of this grim
fact we should need no urging to in
vest our money in War Savings and
Thrift Stamps. We are not asked to
give, but to lend, and on the best
security in the world, and at high
er rate of interest than any bank or
trust company in the United States
pays on savings accounts. This gov
eminent has the power to tax its
citizens as high as it pleaseS, and, II
necessary, can take every dollar we
earn, and, if necessary, this will be
done, and the surest way to prevent
such action is to buy War Savings
and Thrift Stamps now, when money
is needed. It's business PROPOSE
| ton, pure and simple, and each man,
woman and child is benefited by buy
ing stamps 1t is no sacrifice to in
vest money on the best security, and
once you get the saving habit, you
| will find that saving money is as
! easy as spending money, and within
a short while income from your in
vestments will bring you more pleas
ure and happiness than you ever
| dreamed of.
1t is so easy to buy War Savings
and Thrift Stamps. Every merchant
in Cambridge and a number through
out the county are selling agents, and
| will supply you promptly. When
| buying supplies for the home, ask
your merchant to give you certain
| number of stamps in your change.
The postoffice is, of course, head
quarters for War Savings and Thrift
Stamps, but you may buy them at
any bank in the county and, as afore
said, every merchant in Cambridge
will sell you.

| trict, 1 have appointed the following
ward captains:

Ii was n bright moonlight night and

ran alongside of the poultry house and up

lie ran up the tree So he could look
about for a good place To enter the poultry
house. for Thomas Cat did not wish TO be
caught or suspected, for hc had just come

least suspicion fcll upon him about the
disappearance Of the little chicks that
would be the end of his stay nj the farm.
But someone did sec Thomas Cat, and
when he was IN the tree voice said:
Perhaps We can help each other, my
friend
Thomas almost fell out of the tree, he
was 81 surprised. but he managed To get
his balance and looked down TO the place

FLORENCE REED AGAIN
AT VICTORIA THEATRE

Florence Reed, the versatile
emotional actress famous on both
stage and screen, will be seen in
To-day" at the Victoria Theatre
next week. Miss Reed has achieved
a marked prominence in the motion
picture world by reason Of the
vide scope Of her artistry. Her
appearance IN the stirring drama
o. the present generation To-day"
by George BrCadhurst and Abra-
ham Schooner fas already stamped
her as an actress Of tremendous
power. Part n the story is laid
IN a celebrated New York Cafe
where Hawaiian hula hula dances
were the pOrular fancy. The
remarkable de iSion made by the
woman when facing disaster saves
her from. rocky path and brings
back her husbands love. How
she chose between right and wrong
IS one Of the gripping moments Of
the production. The supporting
cast IS exceptionally strong, in
Guiding such familiar motion pic
ture artists as Frank Mills and
Alice Gale ADV.

CLEVER COMEDY At THE GARRIck.
In ''Thc Second Mr. Bages," which Is

Figman is one of the funniest comedians

his fun making, which it does to the
queens taste. The supporting company
includes Ross and Nallie Beaumont and
Natty Whitestone. "The Second Mr..

POSTMASTER TELLS
HOW To AID In RUSH

Some suggestions on how the public
may assist the postofice in giving
quick service during the Christmas
rush were given out for publication
today by Postmaster Davenport in the
following signed statement:
important things to observe at
Christmas at the Post ONCE
For the rapid dispatch of mail
during the rush season observe that
letters and postal cards are cancelled
in a different way by our cancelHng
machine, and therefore before mailing
please sort them and tie them in sep
arate packages, having the address
sides before you with the stamps run
ming regularly one after the other on
each separate piece, and then drop
them in the Package Bin" provided
for this purpose at the Postoffice. If
this request is observed, the labor of
one man will be saved at Christmas
and this mail will go out on the first
train.
please do not place stamps on the
left-hand corner nor on the back of
letters and postal cards, as this will
surely delay their dispatch for the
reasons above given. MANY do 500
Prepare your packages carefully
and securely before bringing them to
the postQffice, which will save much
time and delay The department does
not furnish paper nor Irvine for this
purpose.
Before the Christmas rush buy
some postage, revenue and war
stamps; they are good and will keep.
LAS far as possible, lick the stamps
and put them on yourself, then you
will know it is done right.
ASK any questions you like and
demand any service you require, but
do not stop the service for the accom-
mediation of one person.
1--WE want to help everybody this
Christmas, but we want help, too.
Respectfully,
ID. F. DAVENPORT, Postmaster"
