With Your Silver
TAST April the war-cloud left the horizon
- and spread over our entire sky.
Its silver lining consists solely of the re-
sources of America in men and money.
For these alone can bring a victorious, swift
end to the war.
To keep that silver lining bright and evident,
all of us who stay at home must do certain
simple and very necessary things.
First of all we must save-not only large
amounts with which to buy Liberty Bonds, but
small coins to buy Thrift Stamps and War
Savings Stamps.
These small savings are really as important
as the larger ones.
Through them the government expects us
to lend the country two billion dollars-eight
billion quarters.
Every quarter you save by doing without
unnecessary uxuries buys Thrift Stamp.
When you get sixteen Of these Thrift Stamps
turn them in at any post office, bank or regular
APPOINTED agent and you will get one War
Savings Stamp.
This savings stamp is the governments
promise to pay you, at the end of five years,
one fve-dollar gold piece.
These $500 War Savings Stamps are ex~
changeable for cash any time between now and
January |, 1923, upon giving ten days. written
notice to any money order post Office You
oct the cost price plus accumulated interest.
By buying them you make available money
that now has no effect in fastening victory
and swift victory is the silver lining of the
cloud over US.
Begin buying them now-and keep on
buying.

bread at the bakeries and res
taurants and replenished our
stock. The citizens of Corodon
did not take kindly to US but
showed fight, so while we were
getting something to eat they
were forming a line OF battle on
the hill beyond the town across
the road We were to travel, but
it only took about one volley to
silence them as we'll as I remem-
Der. None of US were hurt. but
q few OF the citizens soldiers were
wounded, possibly one or two
killed, before they decided to let
US pass quietly on. We had TO
have fresh horses, and for this
purpose a few picked men we're
detailed who when we halted
brought horses to the officers,
who gave them to the men who
needed them worst. On the next
morning after we left Corodon
my horse was given outand they
gave me q large, well.built iron

surrender.

why they could not head him off
but had to follow after him.
Soon after we left Salem, Ind.
we struck the Miami Valley in
Ohio and followed that down to
CINCINNATI. All along down the
Miami River Valley, the towns
were very thick. We were barely
out Of sight Of one when we would
come to another one, but the
people just stared at US and did
not molest Us. We did not mo.

THE RED CROSS GORDON.

An American Red Cross worker who
was among those volunteering to help
In the hospitals and at the station
where the hospital trains arrived, over
heard some Of the wounded talking
about the American Red Cross.
"Geei We'd q starved II 1t hadn't

and then, laughing at bis own exagger.
alton, he went on to explain the cir.
cumstances under which the ned Cross
representative with his division had
done some timely service. The Ger.

they retreated so rapidly that 1t was
practically impossible for the supplies
to keep up with the pursuing Ameri.
