REDEEM YOUR WAR SAVINGS
4 PLEDGE! "A

Towns and cities printed in capitals
have already exceeded their quota in ma
turity value of sales.
1t must be borne in mind that the pro-
ceeds of the sale of War Savings and
Thrift Stamps have been anticipated by
the Treasury Department, and. there
fore, the redemption of pledges made to
the Treasurer Of the United States for
the purchase of Stamps before January
/. 1919, is not only a matter of honor.
but is absolutely indispensable.
The original act for authorizing the
sale of War Savings and Thrift Stamps
provided for a total issue of S2,o0o000.
900, maturity value The actual receipts
for sales in the United States to October
23rd were s8o7. 154, 40S, which represents
q maturity value Of about 5000. 100000, or
approximately one-haf the original issue.
Congress has now increased the author
ization to 81, coo, 000, 00o and it is probable
that the sale Of War Savings and Thrift
Stamps VIII continue as long as occasion
exists for Federal loans.
VerrnoGters are not only urged to fulfll
their pledges. but to continue the thrift
habit and the purchase of War Savings
Stamps.

SCOUTS
Conducted by National Council of the
Boy Scouts of America.)
HOW ALASKA SCOUTS

To be apportioned $4,000 in Lib
erty loan campaign and to wind up
the drive with $4,000 Is pretty big
record. Yet there's scout troop
which did this very thing. Up In Fair
banks, Alaska, 1t wasn't pleasant
weather when the last Liberty loan
campaign began. Trails were almost
impossible, and driving storms and
bitter winds came every day.
But the troop in Fairbanks came for
ward 100 per cent strong. There were
35 boys in Troop No. and their ap-
portionment for the campaign was first
put at $4,000. A huge clock was
made to indicate their progress.
But on the very first day they
"busted" the clock, for they obtained
subscriptions amounting to more than
double that amount. Then the clock
was put at $4,000. Local Liberty loan
officials were positive the troop could
go no farther by hook or crook. But
the end Of the campaign saw them, not
al $4,000 but at $67, 100, which repre-
scented half the total subscriptions OBJ
tanned in the whole district. And it
was really 500, 100, if we count a $4,000
subscription one man asked to be al
lowed to make in recognition Of their
work. -

victory. This folder is for the middle
grades in the schools.
p. A. It. Appelboom of the faculty
of the University of Kansas, another
member of the Red Triangle educa-
tional department, is the author OF
the third pamphlet, written in simple
language for the pupils of the primary
grades. Mr.. Appelboom presents ma
terial similar to that used by his con-
frereS.
All three of the little folders have
the merit Of being plain, readily I'M
,;erstood statements of facts. No eff
fort is made to launch into lofty lit
erary flights. The writer's have tried
to give definite information and trust
TO the readers to form the proper
conclusions therefrom.
Beyond question this literature will
have a beneficial effect in ofrsetting
enemy propaganda, which in France
had been taking the form Of suggest
ing to the French people that Amer
lea was merely vocal and liot a
practical ally. No one could read the
information put forth by the three
pamphlets without knowing that the
United States has accomplished won
ders in getting a huge army to France
inside a year after her declaration OF
war and continuing meanwhile her
service of food, ammunition and cred
it's to the allies.

man, having found friend, renounced
all interest at a critical moment with
two on base and a line drive toward
second, to engage in conversation
that lasted for at least three minutes.
Interest Kept Up.
by this time, an audience of at least
hundred had gathered around and
the blatant indifference Of this second
baseman compelled him to retire from
the game before the boots and jeers Of
the crowd and particularly of his team
mates. At the end of an hour and a
half the game was well en- route and
the crowd kept up the interest for an
other hour-in fact, they played until
1t began to get dark.
"Chey agreed, at the end, that it was
interesting once one knew the game,
and they volunteered to come around
the next evening. They held good to
their promise, too. The next night they
started in in earnest, needing but little
direction, and playing with the keenest
interest. After two or three nights
they developed into lovers Of the game,
and as long as those troops we're In
town we were sure of having ball
game every clear evening from 6 to g."

Pamphlets Tell French People OF
Americas Ideals and
Promises.
HAVING BENEFICIAL EFFECT
literature Goes Directly to Homes
and a Tremendous Influence Tor
Good Is Thus Being Exerted-
Distributed in Schools.
BY (. A. BACHELOR.

Paris.-America's ideals, Americas
past attachments and Americas defln-
lite promises for the successful prose
cutiOn of the war are being present
ed to the French people in a trench
ant, convincing manner through the
medium of pamphlets prepared by the
educational bureau of the American
Y. M. G. A.
Through the cooperation of the de-
partment of public instruction OF
France, it has been possible to dis
tribute 10000 of these pamphlets in
the schools. A large percentage OF
the literature so distributed has been
taken directly into the homes and
tremendous influence for good is thus
being exerted.
The Y. NJ. G. A. became convinced
some time ago that a general distri-
button of concrete information regard
ing things and aims American would
be greatly appreciated not only by
the French people, but would also do
much to promote confidence and I'M
Outstanding between the two nations.
The French are always eager to
hear about the United States and
never tire of asking questions about
their great ally country. Much in
formation of this kind Of course had
been spread by individuals but, I'M
fortunately, all of the Americans in
France have not a clear and accurate
conception of their own national
ideals nor even very wide variety
