SOLDIER BOYS ARE
GOOD SAVERS

Nearly an our fighting men are
saving money. That is the latest
word from France Many of them
are paving for The privilege of
fighting for Uncle Sam" by buying
Liberty Bonds and saving war
stamps enough TO make the folks
who aren't fighting ashamed Of
themselves. Almost all American
soldiers send money home on pay
day.
Z. a. Hungerford, one of the u.
VI. C. 4. men at the front who is in
a good position to know their fl
nances, writes, The American sol
dier is the thrifiiest American alive.
4 have Liberty Bonds, War Saving
Stamps, Military insurance. and have
allotted fifteen dollars month to
the folks back home, said an artil-
lery man who was in the hut last
evening. There are thousands Of
Uncle Sans soldiers in France who
can trulhfully say the same thing.
~ want to send somei money
home,' is heard constantly by the
y. NJ. C.. A. worker in France. The
~ has purposely made it easy for
The soldier TO send money home.
All he has to do is to leave his
money with the man in the hut, get
a receipt for it, and indicate the
name and address Of the person to
whom he desires The money sent.
The y. NJ c. A. has arrangements
with banking institutions which
makes possible the rapid and mex
pensive transfer of any amount Of
money to any bank or person in The
states.
Our soldiers are thinking straight
about money matters. They are not
misers, by any means. and they are
willing to spend a small amount on
things that so TO make life more
enjoyable, but their chief thought is
to insure their economic independ-
ence, when the war is over and they
return to civilian life"

 Although the completion of the en" tire project will require S3 years, 66,- 500 acres comprising the first section of reclaimed land will be available for cultivation within fifteen years, Ez- perts assure the Hollanders that the soil will be fertile, as, after the great dffe has cut off the sea, the 6uyder Zee gradually will turn fresh, owing to the continual emptying into it of fresh water streams.
 The Government expects to receive about SIS per acre per year as rental for the reclaimed soil.

ASK PRESIDENT TO
 VETO PROHIBITION

Opposition to the prohibition amend ment to the. agricultural stimulation bill, recently passed by Congress, has developed in this city and at a meet ing of the Central Labor union held here last night it was voted to send telegram to President Wilson ask ing him to veto the bill, or at least the prohibition amendment.
 It was also voted at the meeting to ask the various labor organizations of l thee city to take similar action, and to send telegrans to the President, asking him to withhold his approval of this measure.
 The sentiment of the members of the labor organizations, as expressed through their delegates to the central body, is against the prohibition of the use of beer and wines as a distinct hardship upon the men the govern ment depends for he keeping up the supplies of food and munitions with which to win the war.

 upon a bank in Lowell, Mass, for
 $950As.
 According to Information furnished
 the authorities the amount of money
