A kind friend drops in to say: "The

just So. The editors knew this all
the time, but, of course, did not say
so. The newspapers are giving

CLEAN LIVES LED BY AMERI
CANS IN FRANCE.

Washington, Jan. 22,-There has
never been similar body of men to
lead as clean lives as the American
soldiers in France. General PERISH
ing said in cable to Secretary
Baker in reply to inquiries as to the
truth of reports of immiderate drink
ing among the men.
General Pershing's message said:
There has never been similar BODY
of men to lead as clean lives as our
American soldiers in France. They
have entered this war with the high
est devotion to dut and with no
other idea than to perform these du-
ties in most efficient manner posi-
Bile. They fully realize their obli-
cation to their own people, their
friends and the country.
"a rigid program of instruction is
carried out daily with traditional
American enthusiasm Engaged in
healthy, interesting exercises in the
open air with simple diet, officers
and men. like trained athletes, are
ready for their task. Forbidden the
use of strong drink and protected by
stringent regulations against sexual
evisl and supported by their own
moral courage their good behavior is
the subject of favorable comment
especially by our allies.
American mothers may rest as
sured that their Sc ms are n credit to
them and to the nation, and they may
well look forward to the proud day
when on the battle field these speln-
did men will shed a new lustre or
American manhood"

A SAVINGS BANK FOR CHILL
DREN.

Many towns and every city, has n
Savings Bank. where small deposits
are received and interest paid on the
same, at about 8 per cent. In Rich
mond the Junior High Schools of the
city inaugurated a savings system
last October. On the opening day,

dren. The deposits in these schools
have averaged 81 1000 per week and at
least $4,000 is expected from the
entire session. This is quitea sum to
save. If kept up the child will have
enough money to pay its way through
college. Every town now has q saw
ings bank Uncle Sam has opened
one in every town and postoffice in
the land. Thrift Stamps for 2b cents
are sold, interest paid, and in few
years, the entire amount deposited is
returned. Every child in the land now
may have a bank account, in the
strongest and best AK in the world.
Some few of the youngsters are now

STOPS TRAIN TO
CATCH WILD CAT
engineer On No. 5 Climbs Down
From Cab and Releases and
Ropes Animal That Was
Fastened Between Rails.

A remarkable coincident occurred
down the Clinch as related here q
| few days ago, which is perhaps the
only incident Of the kind on record.
Train No. was Gathering along
Mt II lively clip somewhere between
Swords Creek and Honaker through
n wild stretch of wood. On striking
II long straight stretch, the engineer
SAW wild animal on tho track ahead
that scemd to be fastened to the rail
in some way. 1t wns struggling vio-
lcntly in an effort to free itself, but
to no avail. The engineer being hu-
mnnc man, put on his mir and slowed
down, coming to stop within few
feet of the animal. which was making
heroic efforts to get away. The engi-
neer and fireman secured rope, tied
the animal, and proceeded to investi-
eato, the cause of its Imprisonment.
They found the animals feet and
tongue glued to the rail. 1t had
come down to get water from n
spring nearby, and both fore feet be-
ing wet stuck to the rail when the
cnt-(it proved to he big wild cut)
stepped on it. The cat began to lick
its feet to free them, and when its
tongue touched the rail it stuck, and
with two feet and its tongue fast it
uas unable to get away. a cup of
warm water was gotten from the en-
g'nc boiler and poured gently around
Is mouth and feet, and the cat wns
reed, and taken abonrd the cnb and
taken home for playmate for the
engineers children.
Some scientific explanation might
W given but would be unsatisfactory
One unscicntiiic. but Just as salts fac
tory perhaps, in this G. w. Ball, II
aolcd dealer in MI kinds Of furs and
iiins Of wild animals, has his place of

bel' of his NAME"

. DeT Ol his name.
In Germany for the past two year.
the necessities of life have been 81
scarce, but so well distributed, tha
they have devised card system
whereby every person, erich or poor
small or great" has card issuec
to him or her every week showing
the amount (and very small
amount it is, too) of bread or pota,
toes or fish which may be purchas.
ed during the week, and if one buys
the entire allowance early i'll the
week, then no more can be bought OF
that article until the beginning OF
the next week and the issuance OF
another card. l understand the cards
have printed OH them the name of
the German government, the name
OF the beast; the name of the person
to whom issued and a number, so
that no man may buy or sell save
he that hath the mark or the name of
the beaso or the number of his
name"
No such plan as this has ever been
adopted before by any contry at any
time, and probably no other country
but efficient Germany would have de-
vised SO thorough system, and it
is certainly remarkable that it should
have been SO we'll described in vision
nearly two thousand years before be-
ing put into operation.
Verse 18: "Here is wisdom. Let
him that hath understanding count
the number of the beast, for it is the
number of n man and his number is
six hundred three score and six"
This prophecy then applies not on
iy to government, but to man
and the number 666 is especially con-
nected with that man.
Another reference to an encyclo
pcdia will show you that the Kaiser
was born on January z, 1859. A
chronology of the present world Gu
tastrophe will show that Austria,
largely at Germany's instigation)
invaded Serbia on July 81. 1914. Do
Il little arithmetic and you will find
that it is 666 months to the very day
from the date of the Kaiscr's birth
to the beginning of the great war.
Looking back adverse we are told
that power was given unto him to
forty and two months"
Counting from July 27, 1914, we find
that this brings us to January 81,
1918, the Kaiser's next birthday.
when, if this prophecy is true and
correct, his power will be broken by
either death, political reform or mil
itary defeat.
Watch January 27, 1918!
