BUDDEES.

Not so very long ago there was an
incomplete sort of an egg who worked
ten hours a day in a foundry and
thought that every man who wore
white collar and kept his clothes
policed up was something to be
snarled at. He spent most OF his
time in the local pool room rantinS
about the high-brows and the slickers
and he generally closed his evenings
entertainment with the emphatic as
sertion that they would never be any
more popular with him than gum
boil.
At the same time there was an
other canard who came of an aristo-
cratic family that owned Ford and
entertained the Twentieth Century
Pedro Club when it was their turn.
He sat cozily on SIS JOHN the shoe
department of the Racket Store and
changed his shirt three times week.
When the factory whistles blew at
5: 80 he stood under the awning out
in front thumbing his vest and issu-
ing reflective congratulations on the
ground that he possessed both brains
and ability.
Then one day bOtn the mOuluer anu
the clerk received invitations to the
same party. They RSVP'd in person.
as the custom of the time permitted
for those between 81 and 81. The re-
ception committee was cordial and
assigned them to the same canton
ment. On the way over the egg wore
overalls and a jumper and the canard
was just one peg lower than Qualif-
cation for the annual dance OF the
Protein Society. Apparently they had
nothing in common but the thick at
mosphere of the smoker
| But that night, after each had
learned the art of lining up alpha
beticaily and they sat on freshlyzfill
straw ticks and contemplated the
monotony of army vestments. the
abyss between the two had been
bridged. The seeming distinctions
of previous days had collapsed and
they talked-as private soldier to pri-
vate soldier. The egg learned that
the canard wasn't such bad sort and
the canard learned that the egg was
Q pretty good dude.
They discussed their former fal-
lacies.
They laughed about their errors.
And they became buddies.
And they learned the simple les
lson of Cd.

ARMY s&OLD CLOTHES MAN
CUTS HUGE WAR COST

"a Nation OF Wasters- have you
sVeP heard US called that? You bet
SUu have! The thrifty French,
De careful. canny Scotch" the
Eslow-and-sure Britt3h"-all are ia
Mifiar national types. But when
Americans are referred to. It is
usually a. "those extravagant, happy
ko-lucky, spendthrift Yanks."
New. that's q bum rep TO have to
I've up to In war times. And so. early
II the fight, the wise ones decided
that America, having wasted glori-
Dusty, even to the point OF wasting
lm0 in getting into the scrap, was
h0Mceforth never going to waste an
Ekher scrap of anything!
Result: Conservation and Recla-
Daation, now and forever, one and in
eeparable-amen! II Is not the pur-
bose Of this palaver to stir souls with
Salvage Division statistics: So many
tons Of this or that conserved; 80
many thousands of something else
Aalvaged; SO many millions OF dol
lars saved. In the first place, you'd
never read 'em. and in the second, 1t
AMnoys as fearfuily to pound out mill
lions on the once typewriter.
The point Is this: The Salvage d.
vision Is working night and day and
Sundays to cut down in every possible
way the money cost of wAging war.
1t has become the tailor, the laundry
man, the repair man, the junk man
sc the whole army. Looking through
Conservation and reclamation spec
&Aeles we have seen things In q new
Ind economical light. The triAinG
tin can, the simple scrap of paper, the
lnalgniflcant inch Of iron, the paltFy
neach-StOne-all have assumed new
dlgnity and value. Nothing % worth
1oaB. Even the hairs on the hide Of
kho cuasedeBt army mule In captivity
IRE numbered and valued; and. when
he mule has done with them, are
cold for the country's enrichment.
And let no one In this day and age
turn mp his nose at garbage can. It
% the very sanetum of saving; and
every Iowfy KIP. has q chance to be
q hero as its friend and guardian.
Yes, the Salvage Division is O great
little worker; but (and here's the
straight dope on the subjeet!) II
needs help from every man i'm camp
before it can attain real efficiency. As
somebody once observed:

| U. s. IS COMING
!. SPEAKERS URGE
Americans Must Prepare to go
Over With Loan as Men
Prepare to go Over Top.

Emphasis of the privilege. and not
alone the duty of citizens of the United
States to buy Liberty Bonds was the
feature idea presented by DR.. j. j.
Rae, Captain Roberts and Byram Rob-
bins. Liberty Loan speakers. who
spoke before a house of proba bly, 250
enthusiastic people in Fountain City
last evening New Garden township
workers reported at the meeting that
over $500 has already been sub
scribed to the fourth loan issue.
In opening DR.. Rae said, Before we
entered the war there were a great
many people in the United States who
were coming to the point where they
actually believed that they could do as
they pleased. We are now amendable
to law, responsible to authority. A
man who is not is mighty dangerous
commodity.
DO you realize. when you read in
the daily papers the news of the war
that there are men back of it all
men enduring the dangers, the horror,
the agonies that we never see? Those
men want us to hear only the Joy of
victory and success, and they will
never tell us all of what they have
done so heroically and faithfully. I'm
less we provide the sinews of war our
men can not exist.
Enemies Buy Bonds.
Every day we give, every dollar
we give is winning the war, is put
ting new impetus into our armies.
The war is going to be decided by our

posal Of the government with joy
Captain Roberts emphasized the
manner in which foreigners regard
the value of United States war bonds.
"A few months ago / was in charge
Of company of 800 or 400 men and
out of that number there were 81
aliens, but ! want you to know that
those enemies bought Liberty Bonds
In the loan campaign then going on,
bought all they possibly could find
money for, and they bought them with
out an unusual effort on any ones
part-they bought them as matter
of course. When our enemies see
thus it seems useless to urge our own
people to make an investment which
will mean the salvation of their
country"
In closing Captain Roberts said.
with 100000 men in our army we
have done something, but with 1900
900 we will begin to tell.
LAS we stand and view the broad
panorama of this war, it becomes a
rare privilege to help the cause" said
Attorney Byram Robbins. ''As we
view the past years we see Germany
drilling for 40 years. We see the
Prussian legions preparing while other
countries were engaged in peaceful
pursuits. Our president gave Germany
the benefit Of the doubt until he was
convinced of the right in the matter.
And now we are in the war and no
matter what has come before; what
you may have believed before; we
must win
