esteem LITTLE THRIFT STAMPS

Bought a little thrift stamp
Pasted or a card,
There goes a quarter
And quarters come hard.
One little thrift stamp,
Lookin' lonely, blue;
Bought one for company,
Then there were two.
Two little thrift stamps,
Couldn't seem to gree,
Got mother to watch 'em,
Then there was three.
Three little thrift stamps
How'll l get more?
Walked stead of ridin'
Wednesday, had four.
Four little thrift stamps,
All in a row
Started me to thinkin'
How to make 'em grow.
Cut out one cigar a day,
Miss it much? Mix
Long about Thursday,
Count was six.
Had an old razor,
Lynn on a shelf;
Put it in condition,
Coin to shave myself.
Had my shoes mended,
Stead of buyin' new,
Savin's filled the first row,
Started number two.
Last Winters overcoat,
Looks mighty fine,
Cleaned, pressed and mended,
Thrift stamps nine.
Stay at home and read now
Stead of playing pool;
Watch where the pennies go,
Live more by rule.
One stamp, tea store,
Grocer gave me two,
Even dozen "thrifties",
Week not through.
Bought me a business suit,
Had to keep a front;
Clothier's premium, four stamps,
pulled off the stunt"
Twelve cents from-nowhere,
Thrift card filled;
Bought me a war stamp,
Gosh, how | thrilled.
Never thought I'd do it,
Just a merry wheeze, eh?
Saved a V in one week
Just as easy!
S'teen little thrift stamps,
Every week or two;
Buy me a Liberty bond
Fore the years through.

DRINKING AMONG scAooLsoYs.

Some time ago a schoolmaster OF
Cologne, astonished at the poor work
done on Mondays by the 81 boys In
his class, questioned them as to the
manner in which Sunday had been
spent. He learned that 10 had spent
the evening before in some cafe or
beer garden, that 20 had taken wine,
"a beer and 10 brandy: II had had
both wine and beer. IA had had wine,
beer and brandy, ten had been very
tipsy and eight had been nauseated.
Doctor Boyer Of Vienna requested a
certain number Of school directors to
divide their sol pupils into three cate
gories: Good, adequate and made
Quate. Then, with their aid. he divid-
ed these into five classes: (1) Those to
whom alcoholic drinks were unknown;
(2) those who drank occasionally; (3)
those who drank beer once a day; (4)
those who drank 1t twice daily; 90
those who drank 1t thrice. The results
were as follows:

an ordinary farm wagon. and pulled
load Of 5000 pounds over different
kinds of roads. The wagon was a
standard farm wagon with steel axles
of equal length, wheels 38 and 40
inches In diameter, and four-inch tires.
A recording dynamometer, known as
the Iowa type, was used to register
the tractive force of the team. This
instrument makes a record of the re-
sistance on strip Of paper under a
recording pencil, and after the test,
the total pull of the team can be read
off In pounds. The record of the test
Is as follows:
On a concrete road, unsurfaced, In
excellent condition, the total pull on
the load was SO pounds, or 27.6 pounds
per ton.
On concrete road with three-eighth
inch surface Of asphaltic oil and
screenings, road In excellent condition,
the total pull was 1910 pounds or 1912
pounds per ton.
On the ordinary macadam road in
excellent condition, the total pull was
1893 pounds or 64.3 pounds per ton.
For a graveled road, compact, and
In good condition, the total pull was
225 pounds or rs pounds per ton.
An earth road, firm, with one and
one-half inches Of fine, loose dust, the
total pull was 276 pounds or 90 pounds
per ton.
An earth road, with mud to
Inches deep. but soil firm underneath.
the total pull was 654 pounds or 21S
pounds per ton.
On graveled road, before the gravel
had been compacted, but when 1t wns
In ordinary loose condition after it had
been placed upon the road, the total
pull was 789 pounds or 263 pounds per
ton.
The above shows very well what
great advantages good roads have on
the hauling properties of q team.

IN The NATIONS CAPITAL.

The first Monday after the dry law
went into effect In the District of Co
lumbia, Judge Mullowny remarked
from the bench: "Just think of 1t!
Monday morning docket usually con-
tanned the names of from 40 to 90 per-
sons who had been arrested for intoxi-
cation. Today we have two or three
persons charged with that offense. 1t
is hard to conceive that such a great
change could be brought about in 30
short a time"

(By X. Il. HOUSE, Colorado Agricultural

A very interesting experiment has
recently been concluded In California
to determine just how much horse
pulls when he draws ton.
A good draught team was used for
this purpose. The horses weighed 1,6O0
pounds each. They were hitched to

SUPREME MILITARY NECESSITY.


eff we are to pour out our money
and blood we must insist that we
shall have fair return for the price
we pay. How can 1t be done? Only
In one way that is big enough to be
named in the same breath with Eu-
ropes galn-the abolition of the liq-
uor traffic! By nationwide, bone-dry,
rock-ribbed, bomb-proof, never-leak
prohibition as the largest possible mill
itary preparation and the only ade-
quate compensation for the price we
pay. Immediate prohibition
Is a supreme military necessity, and
would mean victory against any nation
that remains in partnership with rum.
1 do not tremble for my country, do
not fear the ultimate result, however
long drawn out the conflict; but ma
tional prohibition would make assur-
ance doubly sure, accelerate the vie
tory, work blessings upon all, hard
ships upon none, and pay dividends
for eternity when peace shall come.
National constitutional prohibition is
our one salvation. N. How

THE NATIONAL AMENDMENT.

eff the proposed amendment should
be adopted by three-fourths of the
states" says United States Senator
Sheppard, speaking of national prohi-
bition, 'the traffic In intoxicating
liquors for beverage purposes would be
forbidden anywhere within the Ameri-
can republic. Prohibition would be inn
bedded in the organic law Of the ma
ton. Is 1t not time that the federal
government, the largest social unit we
have, should take a hand when the
traffic In a poisonous drug Is taking
from the earnings Of the American
people six times as much as they ex-
pend for bread, ten times as much as
they expend for furniture, and twice
as much as they expend for clothing?
AS view the matter" concluded Sena-
tor Sheppard, "the member of either
branch of the American congress who
denies the power of amendment to the
states, especially an amendment which
vast numbers of the people desire the
states to consider, violates the basic
principles both of the constitution and
Of popular government, repudiates the
fundamental rights of the states and
Overturns the two most sacred priv
ileges the people possess the privileges
Of referendum and Of petition"
The man who Is not willing that the
question Of national prohibition be SUBJ
mitted to a poll Of the states is not
travelling the path of safe democracy.

Doing Without Wheat |

Bread and milk make meal; so
will mush and milk,
y Bread and potatoes go together; po-
tatoes and gravy are Just as nourish-
ing.
Toast and fruit are fine for break
fast; but any other cereal with fruit
will stay the stomach as effectively.
Griddle Cakes, mullins. ALI sorts of
quick breads, can be filling and appe-
tizing without any wheat
After all, what we have to do Is eat
less bread. Often we eat bread to
convey other food; we even use bread
TO push mouthfuls upon the fork.
There Is one test. Wherever bread
is used for convenience. that is the
place to leave it out.
Habit tells us to use bread; the
body's needs tell us only to provide
sufficient nourishment. We must
learn to think in terms of nourishment
and not let habit hinder us.
Changing our habits is none too
easy. But it is no easy task to win
the war.
Going without wheat whenever we
can is one thing we can do 70 win the
war-perhaps the largest contribution
We can nakes-U. 3. Fond Admini4trat
