The People Are Saving.

Evidences are accumulating
that the habit of saving among
the American people, especially
among the patrons of savings
bank and postal savings is out
stripping the financial demands
made upon them by the Govern
ment.
While no exact figures are
available at present it is known
that postal savings deposits have
steadily gained during the year
1917, and notably since the 1st OF
July of that year, which was
after the first issue of the Liberty
Loan.
The reports from savings banks
also show a steady gain, and the
same is true of cooperative
building and loan associations.
Nor have the people of small
means been the only savers. II
is estimated that the savings Of
the whole people of the United
-.
States, ordinarily SIS, 1000, 900, O0(
to $4,000, 600, 900 annually, have
increased to $4,000, 100000 t
SIS, 900, 600, 600 in 1917.
The response of the people t
the national need of economy anC
saving has been general and gen
erous. Masonic Home Journal.

Forewarned

The late Senator Tom Carter,
of Montana, had a favorite anec-
dote, which was as follows:
Shortly after the Civil War a
Tennesseean, who had served in
the Confederate Army and was
still entirely unreconstructed,
moved to Missoula in Carter's
State. The newcomer was small
of statue, but he was fiery of
speech. Very soon after the
Tennesseean's arrival in the West
a celebration was held by the
townspeople, under the auspecies
of the Union veterans of the COM
munity, in commemoration Of
Lees surrender. A bully veter-
an was the marshal of the parade
which preceded the speaking
and the rest Of the program.
The ex-Confederate, boiling
within, stood watching the dem
onstration for awhile. Finally
his feelings entirely mastered
him. He rushed out into the
road and seized the brides of the
marshaPs horse.
Cit down often that hoss, you
derned blue-bellied Yankee!" he
commanded. 'I'm goin' to give
you the best lickin' you ever had
in your whole misspent life. Git
down before | haul you down."
The man slid off his steed, fell
upon the little man and smother
ed him to the earth. When by
ISLANDERS hauled him off his
enemy was a total wreck. SYM
pathizing hands lifted the batter
ed Southerner to his feet. He
spat out a couple of teeth, and
with one hand to his streaming
nose advanced upon the ex-Fed-
eral who hadn't a scratch upon
him anywhere.
Il give you fair warning" he
said, that from this time on Pm
goin' to serve you this way every
time | meet you. So govern
yourself accordingly. Saturday

FACE the FACTS

EFT us face the facts. The situation is critical
II Unless the Allies fight as they never yet have
fought, defeat threatens Hungry men cannot a hght
at their best; hungry nations. France, England,
and Italy are going hungry unless we feed them.
Wheat Savings-They must have wheat. It is the
best food to fight on. 1t is the easiest to ship We
alone can spare it to them By saving Just little
support those who are fighting our battles And we
can do it without stintng ourselves. We have only
to substitute another food just as good.
The Corn of PIenty-Corn is that food. There's
surplus of it. Providence has been generous in the
hour Of need 1t has given us corn in such bounty
as was known before. Tons of corn Train,
loads of Five hundred million bushels over and
above our regular needs. All, we have to do is to
learn to appreciate it. Was patriotic duty made
so easy? And so clear?
Americas Own Food--Cornl 1t is the true American
food. The Indians, hardest of races, lived it.
Our forefathers adopted the diet and conquered
continent For great section of our country 1t
has blong cen the staff of life How well the South
fought it, history tells. Now it can help America
win world war.
Learn Something-Cornl 1t isn't one food. It's
dozen It's cereal. It's vegetable It's bread.
It's dessert. It's nutritious; more fsod value in it,
dollar for dollar, than meat or eggs OF most other
vegetables. It's good to eat; how goOd you don't
know until you've had corn-bread properly cooked
Best of all, it's plentiful and it's patriotic.
Corn. Infinite Variety-HOw much do you know about
corn2 About how good it is? About the many
delicious ways of cooking it? And what you miss
by not knowing more about it? Here are few
Of its uses:
There are at least fifty ways to use corn meal to
make good dishes for dinner supper, lunch break
fast. Here are some suggestions:

sense of duty by making a slack
er out of him. The brightest
and most glorious page Of history
will be written by the American
boys on the fields of France and
Germany. They are the ones
who will win for the world the
boon of liberty and the blessings
of Christianity. And when that
glorious page that will immortal
ize all the boys who helped to
make it is unfolded, will you
want your son to turn, ashamed.
from it and feel that he had no
part in it? Will his respect for
you be increased from your hav-
ing had him skulk to cover when
a righteous cause was calling for
MEN? What is your grief or
mine that we should intrude it
upon the world? Is one man IN
herently better than another that
his boy should be spared at the
sacrifice of his neighbor's?
These are the questions that
the father must solve, and if the
kaiser's agents and propagand-
lists can work upon the selfish
ness of the fathers and mothers
of the soldiers and get them dis
contented and out of sympathy
with the war. they will have ac-
complished more than Brute Hin
denburg's armies can do. If your
boy is called send him with your
blessing and follow him with
your prayers; hide your sadness
and do all in your power to keep
up the morale of the country,
without which no army can win.
Growing, fault-fnding, criticism
and grouching has depressing
effect upon your neighbors andis
helping the kaiser. 1t is making
the task of our boys much harder.
- y
And when your boy has gone
write him cheering, gossipy let
ters. If you have worries don't
write of them to him. Don't be
afraid to tell him of your pride
in him and take a lively interest
in his progress and work. All of
these things are due him and will
make his life brighter. Above
all things else, get busy doing all
you can at home to win the war
and let him know it. The things
in my letters that will interest
my boy most, | imagine, is the
fact that Morgan county has
gone lover the top" in the Y.
M. e. A., the Liberty Loans and
Red Cross drives. To the Nor
gan county soldiers this news is
convincing that their people are
cheerfully backing them up.
You cannot be a Stacker and
not be aiding the enemy, and if
you say or do any thing that has
a tendency to cool the ardor or
) lessen the enthusiasm of your
neighbors you are spreading Ger
man propaganda and are an enc.
my to the cause for which oul
boys are fighting. The only dan.
ger that confronts US is the con.
ditions at home. Backed by 6
united people at home, by a peo
pie ready and willing to put W
their money, by a people whose
every word and act breathes tn,
spirit of patriotism, our boys il
khaki are invincible; but let tn,
people at home be influenced b!
German propaganda and becem,
