Why Not Give Loan
Interest to Red Cross

Portland, May 1S.-"Clip your
Liberty coupons for the Red Cross"
This was the message that went
resounding over the country today.
Interest coupons for the Second
Liberty Loan became due this week.
AS by far the great majority of
these coupons are in the 81 and 81
value, 1t is believed that many Of
those having Liberty Bond coupons
due will feel it a privilege to be able
to donate them to the Red Cross.
Coupons should simply be clipped
from bonds. handed to any War Fund
solicitor. or mailed to the nearest
Red Cross chapter.

Training Little Children
PATRIOTISM THROUGH PLAY.
BY CAROLYN SHERWIN BAILEY

Every child loves the TOYS that
have to do with soldering loves tc
watch a parade and has an ideal OF
soldierhood in his heart as form
OF patriotic service to be emuated
and practiccd. These instructive in
terests of childhood are guideposts
for us i'll education. Find out what
your child likes to play and likes to
play with and then see how the in
terest can be used for the child's
best development.
The toy sword should be a symbol
OF defense of the right and OF pro-
lection OF the weak rather than lust
plaything that stimulates rough
amusement. SO, also, may the toy
soldier, like the soldier of this story.
represent for little children those
qualities that combine in the true
soldier for patriotic service.
Travels of the Toy Soldier.
lie was the largest and the best
dressed and the bravest looking of
all the toy soldiers in the toy shop.
some of the toy soldiers were made
of paper and these tore easily if thev
even tried to drill. Some of the toy
soldiers were made of tin and these
bent if they had an encounter. But
this toy soldier who stood head and
shoulders above the others was
made of wood He had once been
part OF great pine tree that stood !
in the forest and his heart was as
brave and true as the heart of the
tree.
4 Ills trousers were painted green
Eith yellow stripes and his Jacket
was painted red with gold buttons.
lie wore a painted blue cap upon
the SIDE OF his head with band that
went under his chin. and he carried
a wooden gun in one arm. He could
stand alone, for his wooden legs
were glued to block of wood, and
his eyes we're black and shining. and
his mouth was painted in a smile.
When the Toy Soldier went from
he toy shop to live in Gregory's
house the little boy thought that he ;
lad never seen such a fine soldier 5
IN his life lie made him captain of +
al the soldier nincpins and guard
II the toy train and he took him to /
'ed with him at night. Then one /
lay, James, who lived next door,

over to play with Gregory.
"What a nice Toy Soldier!" said h

inhabitants of other countries are apt nowadays always
to think of the huge new" British armies created by the
exigencies OF the war to meet organized aggression upon
an unparalleled scale, and in consequence to overlook the

Sir Douglas Haig for gallantry round Mont KENNEL and
other places during the German spring offensive.

Colinton in Midlothian. which is said to have been his

apocryphal or otherwise. Many times in their full and
varied history of campaigning they have fought against
the Germans and with the French. so that at Mont KEN
mel and other places in the present war it has only been
a case of history repeating itself. In the 18th century
they spent many years on the continent. and, after fight
ing with sweden under Gustavus Adolphus against the
Germans until his death, for A. years they fought in the
French service as lie Regiment du Douglas" During
that time a dispute arose with the officers Of the Picardy
Regiment about the age of their respective corps. The
