My Trip to Winthrop College

We reached the dormitory about ten
O'Clock Thursday night. The rising bell
rang next morning at half past six. I
think many of the girls were up and
ready for breakfast at that time. We

The girls were divided into class sec
tons, several counties in each section.
There were -four classes each day and
while section A was in the Food Produc-
ton class section b would have a class
in Food Conservation. section C in Hand
work, and section D in Food Prepare
alton.

In asking people to invest
in War Savings Stamps, the
Government is not asking
them to contribute money.
1t is merely asking for tho
use of money, and willing to
pay literally for 1t.
The Government simply
wishes to employ your money
and pay for its services just
as it would employ you and
pay you for your services.
You will get your money
back with interest = COM
pound interest at the rate Of
4 per cent per annum. The
stamps mature in five years,
but you can cash them any
time you wish before the
date Of maturity and still get
interest--at three per cent.
If you need the services Of
your money before five years,
tho savings stamp handed to
the postmaster will be the
letter Of resignation, and
you'll get your money back
with additional payment for
the time the Government has
used it.
There is no red tape, no
bother, no uncertainty, no
worry. 1t Is the simplest,
safest, and most satisfactory
Investment you can make.

Mother

o, the hallowed name of Mother,
How it echoes through the soul
When the tie that binds her to us
Sewers at the dying goal.
Dearest name that mortals utter
Utter with the pen or tongue,
Save the name of Jesus, only
Dearest ever said or sung.
O, the hallowed name of Mother,
Famed by cadences of love
But her spirit basks in sunshine
On the golden shores above.
At the gateway we shall meet ner
If we take the path she trod;
Its bright portals we shall enter,
If we worship Mothers God.
O, the haIlowed name of Mother,
How we lisp it ore and ore,
While we're drifting on times ocean
Drifting toward the golden shore
S'In the Christians home in glory
: Out across deaths silent goal,
We shall meet her-we shall greet
her
In the home land of the soul.
