the rushed factories and government
red tape.
So 1t looks like good business in
every way for the government to
look to the kind hearts and ready
hands OF voluntary workers for this
form Of supplies. The number of wo-
men seen knitting everywhere is a
splendid response on the part of the
women of this nation to this call.

There is simple easy way by which every family
III the United States stand up and be cOunted-by
which every man, and child enlist in the hun
dred million, allAmercan army which the Germans
dread
One of the most significant utterances made during
the entire made by prominent German Official
when America cast her lot with the allies:
eve do not fear the American soldiers because they
cannot arrive time what fear is the intelligence and
devotion of one hundred million Americans trained to
faith Individual initiative The day that those hundred
millions act as one, that day is Gemanys doom"
Today Germany is fighting with a new and
desperate energy because she fears that the American SOL
ders will arrlver III time
But Germany still refuses to believe that hundred
million people will "act one"
How can we prove it to her? How can we strike to
the heart of the Hun? How convince the kaiser
that the day of his doom approaches?
That way is to lend our money to our country
By War Saving Stamp; costing you until February
l, 1913 $4.12, worth So on January l. 1928
If you cannot pay for it in immediate cash buy U.
S. Thrift Stamp for % cents and keep buying them
until you have 16 Then add few cents in cash and ex-
change them for the War Saving Stamp.
Begin to do this now. Save every cent you can and
put it into these stamps
The money will be used Immediately to provide guns
ammunition food clothing and other supplies for sol
diers and sailors.
This will be bad for the kaiser-the worst he has
heard-fOr it will prove to him that ready to
"act one" 1t will prove that not only men, but
every dollar we have is behind our country 1t will prove
that in the to win and that we shall stay in
it until we do win. 1t will prove that are thOrOughlv
unanimously determined that country, homes and
loved shall longer lie under the dark menace
Of German domination and ensavcment.

The fact that man talks for an
hour about the necessity of "co-ordi-

The Germans are still not worrying
about the American army, as they
have it straight from Kaiser Bill that
we will only have wooden guns for
two years.

Life is certainly attractive to the
German spies. If they don't get
caught they will get all kinds OF hon
ors from the kaiser, and If they do
they will be interned at our nice win
ter resorts and every want carefully
looked after.

 Somewhere in France, Aug. g, 1918.
 Dear Pal Well, here I am, safe, sound, happy and as well as ever. Just feel like getting out and having real live time. received a snapshot of you and Red and Gallup and also of just you and Red. Well Fred, guess l have a 8 reason now for being proud, of our company for some little time ago, the whole company went over the top, and the warm reception we got, Oh Boy H. itself isn't as hot. It is said that it was one of the hottest engagements that ever took piece in which our boys participa- ted. But here I am, none the worse for having gone over. It is 8 wonderful sight, this open warfare, wave after wave of husky true blOOded Americans, going through the open fields as we did, the infantry with fixed bayonets glistening in the sun. It is no wonder the Huns hate to see us coming. would myself. Well how goes every little thing in the old home town? I sure would like to see the old place now. By the way we had chocolate cake night before last for mess and tonight we had good old baked beans, hot biscuit bread, pickles and coffee. We don't starVe when we get our regular rations each day. Our cooks are the best in the division. Our first cook was 8 regular chef by trade and worked in some of the largest hotels in Vermont and New Hampshire. Our second cook is regular fellow, having seen 2l year of army service, cooking most of his time The third cook was baker at home and the fourth cook is fast picking the trade. This accounts for our good feeds. We get up each morning at 5.45, breakfast at 6.SO sick call at 7.3O, drill from to II 80, dinner at l2, drill from 1.3O till 3, supper at and taps at 10 p. m. This forms the working and eating part of our days. Saturdays there are inspections in the morning of whatever the officers deem necessary. After dinner we are free until 10 p. m. Sunday is 8 whole holiday to do as we choose, keeping oi course within the limits. This Saturday our battalion base ball team is going to play some aviation team and Sunday we play a coIored team, the latter in my es' timation sounds mighty good to say the least. We have had DO furloughs as yet and the boys are all waiting anxiously for them to come. Believe me, l am in clnded among the anxious roll. This is all the news 1 can write about for this time, so all TeVOir.
