YOU SHOULD SAVE FOOD

Since we are in war, enc thing we
must do is to save food. 1t has
always been said that We are the
most wasteful people in the world.
We must try and change the
worlds idea. The way to do it is
to save all we possibly can. We
must save meat, wheat, sugar and
corn. Our allies and our own SOL
diers will have to have food il they
win the war.
Think of the children Of France
and England that are starving. We
must help them. Some Of US say
the rich people do not save why
should we? That kind of spirit
is what the German people want
us to have, but is is not good for
an American.
Some people say, why can our
allies not eat corn? They cannot
eat corn because they have no mills
in which to grind it and also the
French people do not bake their
own bread and the bakers do not
know how to bake corn bread.
therefore we must Sonu Lnem
wheat. We can If we will save all
We can.
The soldiers must also have meat
If they have to fight the battle. We
can do without meat much better
than our soldiers can, therefore, we
must save meat.
People say that food will win the
war and we must win it so it means
for everybody to save food.-Helen
Steard.

Some Interesting Relics
Of Indiana

One summer Afternoon as / was
walking through a dense woods
came upon an old animal trail lead
ing to a large stream. A long time
ago this trail had been used by
deer and other wild animals com
ing to the river to drink.
There was q large stone by the
trail that the deer had used to
break their horns on on. Because
when the deer shed their horns are
loose ana 80 they knock them OF.
/ thought that II I could dig
around the stone l might And q
horn. l broke q stick OF Of Z tree
near by and tore the sod away from
around the stone and there half de-
cayed was a deer horn. The horn
must have been lying there . hun
dfed years.
On a hill not far from the stream
there is an old spring that was
used by the Indians. From the
spring a path leads up a hill to
where an Indian camp used to be.
/ had hunted. on the hill and
found some arrow heads and pieces
of old pots and bracelets.
The Indians had battle there
and there is an old Indian mound
there ncw.-Marston HOdgin.

THE MAN AND THE RUG.

Once upon time there was a
man whose wife told him to beat
the rug. While he was beating it
the rug said, "If you will stop beat
ing me I will give you three wish
eS"
The man said, will you make
the wishes come true?"
II will make them all come true"
said the rug. q
IAN right, said the man. My
first wish is for a new house; Sec
ond, l want bank; and third, l
want a new rug" The wishes were
granted and the man and his wife
lived happy ever after. Howard H.

Selling Thrift and War
Saving Stamps in Stores
There have been two men going
around getting the merchants to
buy thrift and war savings stamps
to sell in their stores.
These men sell about $905 each
sale. Sometimes two merchants 60
together and each pays half and
get half of the stamps.
When customers buy something
and give the clerk bill to change
he should ask them to take some OF
it in stamps. When they are asked
to take stamps in this way the Gus
toners feel more compelled to buy
them than they do to go to bank
or postoflice to get them.-Paul
Lovin.

many other ways Of showing your

to loan your money to the govern

to carry on this war you are draw

mechanically and ,agr1cultuFally in
clined and who had but a limitet
literary training the same advantage
from a military point of view as thai
offered by the colleges. Already two

of First Lieutenants have been to tht
State Normal and it was learned thi:
week that Major from the Nation
Capitol would be here within th
next few days, together with an in
spector General to make final inspeC
ticla and to sign the papers, giving t.
State Normal a certificate as a men

= Hale has been kept busy for the pas
ten days, getting the school in shap
making preparation for the enlis
= ment of the students so that tn
boys department could be Transform
ed Immediately into a training d.
partmalt.
Those well informed on condition
assert that this iG the first schot
in the South that will offer to the n
gro boy of limited education thi
superior advantage. While he enter
at a very low grade, he will be give

work through, it is known Presidel
