There is place in the world for
reformers. Reformers are the gentle
men who created our great Declare
ton of independence, and the Consti-
tuition of the United States. Bless
them, we say. At the same time
there should be more positive reform
ers and fewer negative reformers, the
latter being well-meaning persons who
are always against something and not

". 8. STAMPS MUST
BE. CONVERTED soon
Those Held Until Next Year Can't
Be Redeemed Till 1924

Hartford. Dec. 20.--The Connecti-
eat war eavings committee has issued
an appeal to all war savers IN Con-
,~crt;.ut. urging them to fill up their
thrift cards before the first of the new
gear. The appeal as issued by state
i>,.. ctor Cheney is as follows:
We most earnestly urge that all
j.' rars Of thrift cards make every
,rs,rt to fill them and convert them
Ito 1913 war savings stamps before
.>eccmber 81 of this year. There are
soveral reasons for the expediency OF
his move, both for the holder of the
tariff stamps AID for the war saw
in~s work which is being carried on
by us for the government Thrift
clamps held over until next year must
.se exchanged for war stamps, which
will not be redeemable until January
!, 1924 This is q year later than
the maturity date of the stamps for
which you can now exchange your
thrift stamps, January /, 1928.
Money tied up in thrift stamps
should be converted into war savings
stamps as soon as possible, since
thrift stamps do not bear interest,
while the baby bonds as they have
been called, bear interest at the rate
of per cent, compounded quarterly,
or nearly per cent. Therefore your
money is earning money all the time.
Then in converting these smaller
stamps into interest bearing securities
you are aiding the government by
lending it the money 1t needs for
bringing our boys home and caring
for them until they can be brought
homo. You are helping Connections
make its war savings quota, so that
we will not face the shame of an I'M
filled obligation to the government
There probably are 100000 I'M
filled thrift cards in this region Ii
these were all converted into war saw
fngs stamps it would mean $1,000,OO0
maturity value for the government.
The cards may seem small matter
to the holder but these figures show
what could be accomplished II every
one got behind the movement The
children who it is believed hold 3d.
600 Of these cards, are asked to make
A. special effort during the remainder
Of the year to use any Christmas
money given them for the purchase
of thrift stamps and to gladly accept
thrift stamps as gifts from friends or
rarents This Is a small matter
which will have large results. If you
haven't thought about 1t, do so now
and see how much it will take to fill
your card. 1t may moan only fl dol
lar or two. and it's advantages are
manifold as has been shown

BELGIUM UNITED.
Won Bissine's Attempt To Split Coun-
try Works Opposite Way

Bruges, Dec, 20.-The one time
German governor of Belgium, Won
Kissing, rendered Belgium a signal
service by ondeavoring to exploit his
plan of splitting the country into two
parts by his scheme of Flemish au-
tonomy. Judged from present indi-
cations it has united Belgium as never
before in its history. Before the war
there was a well defined Flemish
movement but when Won Kissing at
tempted to exploit it the Flemish de-

The number of disciples converted
to the policy by Won Kissing Is small.

In addition to the fact that NJ. Lee
