BE A STAMP SAVER

Every boy, at a certain period in his life, becomes possessed with the desire to be stamp collector. Stamps of all countries are eagerly sought after and carefully preserved. Today your coun- try is asking not only every boy. but every man, woman and child, to be. come stamp collectors-collectors of thrift and war savings stamps.
 There are now rumors that Ger many is going to make, or possibly already has made, peace offers. Don't let your mind be distracted by such talk from the matter of investing your course, everybody hopes for peace, but very few people expect to get it right away.
 The only way to get peace seems 10 be to lick the daylight out of the Germans and shelve the crowned heads of that country. To do this we will have to keep up our preparations night and day without the least bit of sIackening And the more strenuous we are in our preparations the sooner we are going to be able to hand out that licking and the earlier peace will come.
 Individual effort is going to count for much in the final result. The col lecting of war savings stamps is largely, in fact, entirely, a matter of faster than they are today. Of all war financing schemes, the stamps constitute the best, since they mean actual saving and not borrowing on accumulated capital or future savings. They represent a steady, day-to-day saving in small things which means the cultivation of an excellent habit, one which will be felt for good in fu- ture generations of American history.
 If you have already started your collection, add to it daily as oppor- tunity offers; if you have not yet be- gun the collection do so at once. The weight of your individual effort adds greatly to the total force to be thrown against the Hun.

IS TROTZKY GETTING SENSE?

Press dispatches carry the news that Trotzky wants ten American army officers to aid him in forming a volun- teer army. He needs American rail way engineers and transportation ex- perts to assist in untangling and un- scrambling the railroad situation in his land of anarchy.
 Is this sign that Trotzky is getting down from his high horse?
 Has he concluded that his lips can not reform the whole world.
 And has he seen that the only hope for Russia lies in assistance from the Allies, which demands a new alliance with them?

It is nothing strange for a fancy free student of politics to come down to earth once he brushes up against conditions as they must be met.
 Trotzky has had his brush with Germany. That should have put a little discernment into an emptier skull than his.

MAKER OF CREAMS
DEL|GHTs TROOPS
AT Fl. BARRANCAs

The soldiers at Fort Barrancas en-
joyed an unusual treat last evening
when the one-act play THE Maker of
Dreams" was presented at the Y. NJ.
C. A. hut. This was given with the
same cast of characters that pre-
scented it in Pensacola recently, with
the exception that the part of Pierrot
was taken by Mrs. a. E. Langford. No
more capable person could be found,
as she had coached the players in the
former production. The charming
little play was given a most sympa-
thetic Interpretation. The cast of
characters was:
Pierrot-Mrs. A. E. Langford.
Pierette-Miss Nellie Collins.
The Maker of Dreams-M:ss Norma
Holt.
Mrs. Langford's impersonation Of
the staggering Pierrot was finely
done; Miss Collins was dainty Pier
cite, full of charm and grace; Miss
Holt as the Maker of Dreams, made
the part very impressive.
The entertainment was given under
the auspices of the Music and ORA
matte Committee of the War Camp
Community Service.
