 Our school has bought more thrift stamps than any other school in the town. We have an honor roll in our room, and almost every child has his name on it. All money spent fol candy and chewing gum is reported tc the teacher; but now we do not hear so many reports as we did when we first started it. I hope every one will do all he car to protect our dear old Red White and Blue.

The Naeds of America.

Over a year ago our country declar- ed war upon Germany, and the terrible conflict is still raging.
 At the present time there are many sorrowful conditions existing through : out the countries of Europe. While many American boys are sacfff1cing their lives for the cause of liberty. Therefore our supreme duty is 10 carry this war to successful copclu- sion. e-
 The president and congress have re- solved to aid our allies by transport ing men, food, money, and anuni- tion which at the present time is of the highest importance.
 There is an enormous demand for men which are to be utilized in north ern and eastern France. Many of the boys are leaving their bright blessed homes, while mothers wives and sisters are left to weep and ! mourn. But this sorrow does not remain in | the heart of the son, brother or hus- band. His heart is thrilled anew when he receives the words of father or | graDdfather's farewell. Do not weep my boy, but be proud to have the hon. CT of fighting and dying for your be- loved country. and making the world a place fit to live in."
 Such words as these should a ] mother or father include in bidding | their darling boy farewell DOROTHY PERINGER,' Age 12. Versailles.

 held their lines at bay; At last their muttering guns were
 still, the day died slow and wan At last the gunners' pipes did fill. the
 sergeants yarns began, When as the wind a moment blew
 aside the fragrant flood. Our brierwoods raised; within our 4 view, a little maiden stood, With golden hair and eyes of brown,
 from the fireside fresh she seemed Of such a one in heaven, soldier

 And as we stared at her. her hand

Her Four Minute Speech,

Dear Uncle Jed: Do you want to know how to win this awful war? Perhaps everyone has a brother. friend CT father over there and you must help him.
 We are all learning how to save food and clothing, why not save money? It is easy to save penny, nickel or a dime a week to loan to the government.
 With 25 cents you can buy thrift stamp. The child who puts his money in war savings stamps is not losing it, as the government will pay it back in few years. It is money that grows.
 If you put one dollar bill away at home, at the end of year you stt1l have a dollar. In this way you do not gain anything nor are you helping your country, thus you are a stacker and your dollar is stacker dollar
 Another thing, if you do not save your money, and spend it for some thing you don't need, then you are a traitor, for you are going against the wishes of your government and the money is a traitor dollar. Our govern ment wants every American to save every dollar to help win this war. A patriot dollar is one that you lend the
Norwich bulletin., 1918-05-16

government to supply soldiers with clothes, ammunition, trucks and ships to carry the supplies across to our men. You buy thrift stamps and you are loaning your money to the gov ernment and are doing your duty.
 Thrift stamps are put in cards. There are Is spaces on these cards. When they have been filled you can get a war stamp for $4 with few odd cents. The thrift stamps must be ex- changed for war stamps on or before Dec. 31, 1918, and will only be accept ed when on a card. It is better to eX- change thrift stamps for war certifi- cates as the certificate brings interest while the stamps do not. A $5 stamp put in folder is called a war savings certificate This certificate has 20
 spaces When flied it will be worth $100 although you only paid little over $S2. In five years the govern ment will redeem these certificates; :; that it, will pay back all you paid and the interest besides.
 There are 35,454,00o children in the United States under Is years of age, and I think big part of them have at least thrift stamp, and others war stamps. It is an easy way of saving l our money. have two war stamps
 and expect to get more. I hope every
 one has done as well as l.
 There are many things children can | do to get a thrift stamp. There will
 be many things that a boy or girl can 1 do this summer. Of course, everyone
 can't have a garden, but I hope the
 ones who have a place will plant it We must all help to win this war. Don't buy so many pretty clothes Just think how many stamps you couid ! buy if you didn't buy these $20 dresses
 and $10 hats, and still think of the i boys over there. Make your clothes l last another year. We must all help
 our dear old Uncle Sam. He gives us l home and we must appreciate it. EDNA KENDALL. Versailles.

The Record of Connecticut.

Dear Uncle Jed: Connecticut, though one of the smaller states of our nation, has had proud part in this wars pre- paration- We have raised 25 per cent. more than our quota for the army cheerfully and willingly. This is the best way to do cur share. We have raised more than our part of the Lib everything else which is intended to win this war.
 The bonds were of course too much for little children. Therefore the gov-
 ernment thought of thrift stamps,
 which can be earned by saving each
 nielxle and dime. This can be done
 easily by running errands, working and
 doing many other li1.le jobs. There
 are jobs at our very doors, but still
 many people do not appreciate them. Another way is by saving. If we save during time of war, why couldn't we during time of peace? see no reason at all.
 We should remember Connecticut had the proud distinction of raising 25.0o0 men in the war of the Rev. olution. They were not too proud to fight then, and it is because of our i forefather's courage that we have l the liberty which we now possess. The l liberty which we must fight to main- tain. If we do not fight to maintain | it, we do not deserve to have 1t. We were the first to take a military l census ard we were the first to raiSe l Home Guard. We have now a Home I Guard of $500 men. They are the best in Connecticut and that means the best in the United States. Now what are we going to do al l home? Our boys are over there, and 1 still many are going over there unti we conquer and get a peace upon oul l terms and not upon the terms of Ger. 1 many.
 1 If Germany should win we would be under their rule and their slaves. We 1 should suffer many cruelties while they would triumph over US.
 Before the 9th day of April, 1917 1 it is possible that people had differen 1 opinions concerning war. But since tn, 1 9th day of April, 1917. we will no permit no backfire against our boy who are at the front.
