i heard lovely lady say
Self-righteOusly the other day,
That since this war so dark and cruel
Began, she had not bought q jewel
AT least, not one" she quickly
pleaded,
THAT was not absolutely needed"
i turned a face with scorn distraught !;
"Are ladies people? was my thought
And then | thought of all that |
Had bought / did not need to buy
A Pullman seat, cake, a fur
To me, perhaps, as gems to her.
Extravaganza, we all concede,
Is buying things we do not need:
But oftentimes, | think you'll grant,
It's buying things we do not want
Things which we later have 10 pay
The furnace man to take away.
But Thrift! All, think what thrift

For foolish folk, like me and you;
Not only keeping us secure
From buying things we can't endure,
But daily teaching us TO use

what he thought of his new church, he
said IL was just as good as the old one
and little cheaper. That, i think,

present time. To be little poorer at
the close of this war, and yet to feel
that your children and your ehildren's

Heretofore you have been political

helping to pay persons who you be-
lieve have unjustly profited out of the
necessities of this war. You can pre-
vent anybody getting an undue finan-
cial advantage out of the Indebtedness

you will do your best. If you will not

ASKS ALI CITIES
TO BUY STAMPS
WI TIL INTEREST

Hartford May 10-An appeal has
been sent by the Connecticut War
Savings Committee to every town and
city in this state asking that holders
of Liberty Bonds invest their interest
coupons, which fall due May Is, in
war savings and thrift stamps, there
by allowing the government to retain
the interest as well as the principal
of their accumulated savings.
This plan to buy war savings stamps
with the interest on Liberty Bonds
was first suggested several weeks ago,
and it will be carried out in every
state of the union next week. Chair
men of the various town and city war
savings committees in Connecticut
are planning to post tickets at the
various banks where the interest is
paid, and to personally urge those
cashing in their coupons to imme-
diately re-invest theproceeds in war
savings stamps.
1t is estimated that amount of in
terest to be paid on Liberty Bonds on
May Ii IN Connecticut will be in ex-
cess of 100000, and it is hoped that
the patriotic owners of the bonds will
at once turn over this money again
to the government in it's hour of
need.
