AID is ASKED FOR
WAR SAVINGS FUND

Henry Hart, chairman of the Jack
son county executive committee of
the War Savings Fund, has issued an
appeal to the people of the county
to rally to the call for baby bond"
investments. The apportionment for
Jackson county of these baby bonds
to be sold by January /, 1919, is
$692, ,00O!-a huge sum considering
the fact that the war conditions have
almost paralyzed the nation econom.
ically, but the government does not
ask it as a gift, only as a short time
loan with the best security on earth,
and with the option of getting your
money back at any time your needs
require it. Citizens of the county
have now purchased approximately
10 per cent-69,OO0, and in order to
so over the top in this endeavor, the
executive committee of Jackson coun-
ty feels that it must have the moral
and material support of every citizen
and it confidently expects that sup
port.
The committee have taken rooms
for the duration of the campaign in
the Liberty building, room 211 and
welcome is extended to all, especially
volunteer workers. Remember, 1t is
your work as well as theirs, the chair
man states, and by cooperating you
are helping the government in a war
measure Of supreme Importance

thrift and economy which alone can

DISCOURAGING WRITING
OF CHAIN LETTERS

Federal Director E. c. Bradley has
asked State Director c. S. Jackson of
the War Savings Stamps campaign to
discourage the writing of chain let
ters as means to promoting the sale
of Thrift Stamps and War Savings
Stamps. 1t has been found that the
chain-letter idea is not meeting with
favor and that the movement threat
ems to do the good cause more harm
than good. So, if you get Thrift
Stamp chain letter, destroy the letter
and forget it.

THE FRENCH INFLUENCE

1t is said that in high schools and
universities throughout the United
States the French classes are being
filled to overfiowing and the German
are going begging While American
soldiers are fighting with the French
on the battlefield it is good to see the
bond between domestic America and
France becoming closer.
The Americans have much to learn
from their French brothers, notably
unselfishness. The French have sacri-
feed in the present war until one
wonders how there is more for them
to give. And out of their living has
come a refining of the spirit at which
Americans may marval.
The French influence cannot help
having its effect on Americans, and the
union that the present struggle is
bringing about between France and the
United States may we'll be counted as
one of the wars blessings.

THE FITNESS OF WOMEN


In the great crises of the world S
history, woman has played an all
important part in bringing about a
final and satisfactory equilibrium.
Although the duties of the home have
fallen upon the woman, never has she
failed to be ready to assume other
responsibilities. Every nation has
women to whom it points with as
much pride as does France to her
Joan of Arc, or we to our own Frances
Il. willard
Today as never before in the worlds
history, women are showing them
selves ready, willing and capable of
doing things which a few years ago
would have been scoffed at by the
conservative and been deemed i'm
possible even by the most radical.
Until very recently, women have
been practically barred from some of
our industrial and professional pur-
suits. Even today some of our pro-
fessional schools refuse to admit
women to their courses. The present
war is fast opening every industrial
and professional field to the women,
aud the women in turn are proving
themselves capable of doing very eff
cient work in many fields in which
skill, accuracy. precision and calm
ness are needed. Experts say that in
any position of very great danger,
woman is more capable, because she
naturally applies Safety First to her
work to a much greater extent than
a man.
1t is the opinion of many that
women are very easily fatigued and
are incapable of doing any work which
requires bodily strain. The European
countries have proved that by giving
women thorough courses in calisthen-
les, and by having them take up heav-
ier work gradually, they are able to
do such work with surprising eff
cheney.
Women are proving themselves
mothers of their country just as
effectively as men are proving them
selves the fathers of liberty. The
world is fast getting over the idea
that women are not capable of doing
real work which takes brains and

Daily Food Hint

Rice came into new favor when DO
tatoes were scarce and its value as a
staple diet was re-established with
the American people. Since some
eight hundred thousand Orientals use
rice as practically their only cereal,
its nutritiOnal value cannot be doubted.
In the United States there are three
distinct rice-grOwing sactiOng; the
Carolinas and Georgia, the Mississippi
section of Louisiana and Arkansas
and the prairie lands of Southwest
Louisiana and Southeastern Texas.
Our own rice mills have been running
TO full capacity in order to supply the
demand for a million bags for our
fighting forces and the Allies. The
rice ration in the army is slightly
over one pound month for each SOL

For those who are patriotic enough
to give up wheat -four entirely, there
is the following recipe for rice corn
bread:

pint milk, 1h cups cold boiled rice,
~ cups cOrnmeal, tablespoons fat,
1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon baking
powder. Beat hard and bake in shall

BERRY PICKERS THINK
IT'S GOING TO BE FUN!

'Are you going?"
"Yes, are you?"
"Uh-huh, won't it be fun"
We'll, I'm going if l can get off.
Think of getting out of exams!"
Every girl in the University was talk
ing about picking berries. Down in
Southern Missoui they were going. to
Sarcoxie-a whole bunch of them.
And they think it will be fun, Any
one who has ever picked berries
knows.
Those who don't know the particu-
lars are rushing around wildly to find
someone who does. Those who do
know, and are going, rush up to
other girls in the hall and women's par
lors, and grasp them enthusiastically
around the neck. gasping, Won't it
be fun" and the gaspee, not quite
aware, probably, of this new fever that
has swept over the school with the
rapidity of an epidemic of colds, gazes
wonderingly at the grasper, thinking
perhaps of calling for help.
I'm going to take my bathing suit

young creature. You know, we only
have to work in the mornings"
"We get 212 cents a box, and can
make all our expenses easy, they told
u.s." shrieked one eagar yOungster to
another across the hall. And we get
rates on the railroad, too" A woman's
instinct for a bargain.
But there are others, and they must
be omitted, who are going because
they feel that the work ought to be
done; a sort of conscience-urging-
them-On feeling. Even these sober,
staid, sedate girls do not realize the
work they are undertaking sore
and aching muscles, the stiff back,
and the headache from the sun glare
that they will have.
But meanwhile buzz, buzz, buzz,
goes on the talk about the trip. Those
who aren't going pretend to be sorry
for those who are going, and all the
time they are wishing they were max
ing good enough grades to go, or

WAR LESSONS

That it's an i'll wind that blows no
good is trite but true. The other day
a group Of girls fell to discussing the
war, especially the horrors of it,
aprOpOs some persOnal-experience
books they had read, until a spark
of cheerfulness would have been as
lonesome as a befOre-the-war Pari-
sian would have been among canni-
balls in darkest Africa. But, to
counteract the lachrymosity, cour-
ageous POIlyanna began to enumerate
some of the benefcient effects of the
war, and she found a number.
There are Liberty Bonds and War
Savings Stamps" she said They
mean thrift-a good habit We, of all
nations. have lacked. Girls quarters
have been going for indigestibles or
unnecessary furbelows; now they go
for investments.
And the Red Cross" Here Polly
anna's eyes grew a little misty, for
she, like many of the others, had
brother across. 1t is teaching us
sacrifice, not only because we give it
all our spare time and as much as
we can. but because nurses and doc
tors who work under fire and work
endless hours set us an example that
cannot be surpassed.
Conservation" Here, in spite of
the fact that she was engaged on a
serious subject, POllyanna giggled.
"If relentless Mrs. Conservation con-
tinues to lead us on, after the war
there won't be any more men-or
all too evident rotundi- /
ty. The fat man with his mournful
plant that nobody loves a fat man
will be a thing of the past. But,
seriously, conservation is making us
Americans have been call
ed the biggest eaters in the world,
but they aren't any longer.
Another wartime product is pa
tience and another, fortitude. When
we don't receive long looked for mail
from over there, we have learned to
be patient and think up a score of
reasons why it hasn't come"
Here Pollyanna stopped to go meet
the postman.

of cartoons, or remained in a diff
ferent guise. In speaking of the cur
tailment of non-essential industries
the Fuel Administration said that
inorder to put them on a war industry
basis, "it will be necessary for many
industries to make deliberate sacri-
flee of part of their ordinary business" J"
This has been done and is being
done. An order went out a few days
ago curtailfng large per cent OF the
manufacture of clay products, such
as face and paving brick, terra Gotta
and roofing tile and enamel ware.
Parts of the plant affected will be
converted for war industries. and
men, material and transportation will
be made available for war production" +"
With only a 80 per cent reduction of
the brewery output in California,
half of the barley crop has been saved.
And now, instead of making rugs and
linoleum, many mills are putting out
army goods such as blankets and
duck.
The business men have come to the
front in large numbers to help win
the war and must come in still larger
But the public must help.
If plants are to put out war products,
the public must not make the usual
demand for the non-essentials. They
may buy Liberty Bonds instead.

could afford it, or that their families
going defend themselves against the
ridicule of the others with many We
hement assertions that lit will be a
lot of fun"
And they dash madly about seeing
different professors to get their per-
mission to leave before exams.
Those exams-there is the crux of
the matterl All this excitement be-
cause of the chance to get out of
exams. Anything that is offered to
take the place of those exams is bound
to be attractive to most of the stu
dents.
But exams might be easier than
picking berries-who knows?

Along with the advance in prices
of all other things up will go your gas
bill now. The Public Service Com

of Columbia an increase in the rate
on account of the increase in the cost
of coke and oil, materials used in

s1.5O for the first 10000 feet and S1.4O
for over 10000 feet. The new rate
is not as much as the original rate of

LEE SCHOOL COMPLIES POEMS
Pupils Make Book OF Original Jingles
and Illustrate Them.

I
and Illustrate Them.
The pupils of the Robert E. Lee
School work out each year, with the
aid of their teachers, some definite
problem, and this year their prob
lem has been that of compiling book
of original poems. Most of the poems
contain the spirit of helping to win
the war. Each grade contributed a
poem and illustrated it by means of
their handwOrk in art
Some of the poems are familiar
jingles fitted to some phase of war
service. For instance, the Little Miss
Muffet jingle has been changed by a
pupil in the third grade to fit the
spirit of conservation which the chill
dren have been constantly taught to
observe:
Little Miss Muffet
Sat on a tuffet
Eating her cornbread and whey
This is the way
To conquer the Kaiser"
Are the words we heard her say.
Lillian Hart and Neva Trowbridge,
pupils in grade six, have added much
to the appearance and artistic side
of the book by their attractive illus
tratiOns for each poem. The book
throughout is an excellent example of
what pupils can do when given a
chance to express themselves.
Mrs. NJ. D. Lewis, principal of the
Lee School. in speaking of the book,
said that at least such work helped
the teachers to discover talent among
their pupils and this book had aided
them in finding some promising talent
both in art and in the writing of verse.
This book is on display this week
in the Elvira Building on Broadway,
at the art exhibit of the Columbia pub
lie schools.
