The money that you've laid away
against the coming rainy day shall
shame you lying idle there. This is
the day of real dispair! It's needed
now in war-swept France, where
freedoms warriors advance; it's
needed more than you can guess;
not all the suffering and distress that
now so timidly you dread, when age
has come and youth has fled could
equal that which you shall know if
once our flag is humbled low. Give
up the coin you'll never miss, no
rainer day can come than this.
This is, your country's rainy day;
in France the tyrant stands at bay;
in France our finest manhood dies to
keep Old Glory in the skies; in
France the murderous line of guns
is moving down our splendid sons
and can you view each thinning
rank and still keep money in the
bank? Can you hold up your rainy
day against the storm across the
way? Above our flag explosives hiss;
there'll be no rainer day than this!
In bonds for freedom place your
gold; they will support you when
you're old, but once the Stars and
Stripes shall fall you will have lost
your home and all. Buy bonds with
all your ready cash, the grip of ty-
ranny to smash; buy bonds with all
that you can get, buy bonds if you
must go in debt, back up the fight
ing line in France; stay with the
boys as they advance. Buy bonds
with coin you've put away, you'll
never know a rainer day!

Farm and Family.)

When Uncle Sam asked the col
leges and universities to help train
men for the army, more than 400 of
them responded. They are to train
the new branch of the army which is
to be known as the Students Army
Training Corps. Fraternity houses
and dormitories are to be converted
into barracks for the period Of the
war to house these boys of Is and
over.
This big new training corps, that
Uncle Sam is developing, will have
two branches-the collegiate for men
who have merely finished the gram
course and the vocational for men
who have memerly finished the gram
mar grades The student-soldiers
are not in any deferred class of the
draft army. They are on active duty
and will receive private's pay. In
other words Uncle Sam wishes to
have fine young men in training
where he can put his finger on them
the moment he needs them for special
duty in this country or abroad.
