CURRENT COMMENT
A Good Example.

The fact that since the beginning of
the thrift campaign in the schools, Bur.
lington children have purchased SIT 900
worth of stamps is a splendid tribute
both to those who have had the campaign
in charge and to the children themselves.
No doubt in many, perhaps a majority
of the cases, the money thus invested
represents pennies and nickels saved
which would not otherwise have been
saved. The valuable lesson of thrift is
driven home in the most emphatic man
ner.
A little temporary self-sacrifice and
the children find themselves u. S. govern
ment bondholders. They not only have
acquired the nest egg which will grow
into further savings, but they have also
aided the country in fighting the war.
Just the same as the purchasers of Lib
erty bonds, those who have invested
thousands of dollars, have done so.
If the children can do this out of their
seanty pennies where is the excuse for
any older person who finds it impossible
to investg The showing of the young
sters has, we believe, been more willing
and eager than the response of their ED
ers.
The children show the way. Let the
others of the community equal their rec
ord and winning the war will be plain

APPEAL TO THE BOYS AND GIRLS.

make you feel this, we older people

''Well, one way is the junior Red

THE SMALL TOWNS IN THE WAR.

THE SMALL TOWNS IN THE WAR
The part which the small town of the
United States is playing in the war i
revealed by the casualty lists which Gen
eral Pershing is sending back from
France. The names of the soldiers killed
wounded or missing are listed from lit.
tie, unheard of places from nearly every
state OF the union, while there has been
scarcely the name of a soldier coming
from the large centers of population,
So.and-So from Roaring Brook in any
state was killed; and Private Y from
! Wild Gulch in some other state was
wounded in action. But almost never
the name of soldier from New York
City, Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston or
the other congested centers of population
Up to the present time the battles OF
the United States are being fought by
the men from the small towns, the ham.
lets and the meage settlements, from
the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the
Canadian border to the Gulf of Mexico.
Perhaps this state of affairs is not to be
accounted for by the assertion that the
men of the small places are more patriot
c than the men of the large cities, al.
belt there is one ground for the belief
that the spirit of patriotic Americanism
runs full as strong in the former as in
the latter communities. The immediate
reason for the odd condition is to be
found in the fact that the men on the
front line in France are largely made upI
the units of the regular army, the army
which was in being at the time of the |
declaration of war; and the composition
of that army was of stock from the !
small towns rather than from the large !
cities. In the days of peace the life of
the army seems to have appealed more
sharply to the country fellow than TO the
men of city birth and city residence, and
the ranks were recruited to a large ex
tent by men from the places which would
be called jay towns in city parlance.
Therefore, it comes about that most of
the casualties being sent from France
give the residences, or the home ad.
dresses of the nearest relatives, as some
obscure towns never before heard of out
side radius of so miles of the towns
themselves. All this, of course, will be
hanged to considerable extent when

way to the front line trenches, for un-

The childish nature of the kaiser is

too hard. The item did not say. but
doubtless there were a goodly number
Of double yolked eggs in the lot
At any rate. if | were going to tell
such yarn as that ] should certainly
make it appear that way. Now ii the
nine pullets each and every one laid ev-
cry dsy. or nine eggs day for 81 DAYS.
il would total 279 eggs, leaving l03
eggs which they must have laid nights.
