SAVING AND SERVING

By economizing in consumption and
with the resultant saving purchasing
the Governments war securities the
American citizen performs a double
duty. The citizen and the Govern
r.ent can not use the same labor and
material. If the citizen uses it, the
material and the labor can not be
used by the Government. If the citi-
ger economies in consumption, so
snrch material and labor and trans
.,ortation space is left free for Gov
ernment usss. And when the saving
effected is lent to the Government
more monsy is thus placed at the dis
posal Of th Government.
The more the people save the mors
money, labor and materials are left
for the winning Of the war, the great
er and more complete the support giy.

and criminal.
Dealers are warned that handling
or shipping eggs, not in accordance
with the regulations of the United

regulations of this state or the Unit

HAVE MADE GooD7"

Correspondents with the Pershing
troops in France declare that the first
question of the wounded American
soldier, on coming out of the ether
sleep, is almost invariably, "HAVE
i MADE GoOb?"
The field hospital facilities with the
American troops are splendidly ef-
ficient, srd it often happens that a
man struck down in battle is carried
quickly to the rear, that he does not
regain full consciousness until after
the operation.
Then he gradually awakens, to find
himself between clean sheets, with the
whit-clad figure of Red-Cross nurse
bending over him.
At such moments, the human mind
is incapable of pose or pretense. The
brain acts automatically; the lips
speak.
And there is something intensely,
peculiarly American in the question:
"HAvE MADE GOOD?"
The wounded nephew of Uncle Sam
does not ask how badly he has been
hit, or whether he is going to get
well. Nor does he ask-first of all
whether his company or his regi-
ment has attained it's objective. He
seems to take that for granted.
His interest and responsibility are
personal. Though never failing in
teamwork, he is the supreme type
of individual fighter.
Modestly, yet profoundly, he feels
that it is up to him to "make good y
Our boys are making good, "Over
There" They are keeping thar
pledge to Uncle Sam.
Have we made good our pledge t.,
UNCLE SAM? Are we buying WAR
SAVINGS STAMPS REGULARLY Z?
Are we doing as much in proportion
as the American soldier to help win
this war?
This question can only be answered
by yousself.
