words, however. but by actions.
We have seen what our soldiers are
doing to help win this war What are
we here at home doing to help? Does
victory depend entirely upon fight

can help? Yes, there are numerous
ways. The money that we have been
sending abroad each year for foods
and luXuries can be saved by growing
these things at home. In saving in
this way we can send our dollars to
the front. Just think of our prosper

mainly to win this war we shall and
will win. Every boy, girl, woman, or
man can serve his or her country in
this way. Every one should grow
enough for his own use, and saving in

soldiers.

The next way we can help is by
lending OR money to our government.
Our boys have offered to sacrifice all
if needs be that America and her peo-
pie may be safe. Are you and | go
ing to hold back the money that is
needed to back up these boys for the
sake of a little larger interest that
we can get by using it in another
way? No! | feel sure that when
the records are made up after the
Third Liberty Bond Sale that it will
show that each one did his full share
according to his means. There are
various ways in whicn we can lend

STAMPS War. Savings Stamps, and
Liberty Bones. Thrift Stamps are
sold at post offices, and most banks
and trust companies. i~or convenience
they are affixed to a Tariff Card
having marked spaces for sixteen
stamps which, when flied can be cx-
changed for War Savings Stamp on
payment of sixteen cents for this
month and one cent additional for
each succeeding month. In 1923 we
can get Five Dollars for this stamp.
Or if we need the money before, it
may be withdrawn by giving ten days
notice at any post office. Isn't this a

complaining we should be glad Of the

What do these boys sacrifice when
they leave their homes for France?
The American boy who goes to war
gives up the position which means so

What are we doing to help win this
war? Are we giving our services
freely as others are giving their
lives? Do we not grumble sometimes
when on certain days we are asked to
use no wheat; or to substitute other
meats for pork and beef; or when we
are asked to use less sugar? What is
this little sacrifice when compared to
the supreme sacrifice that our soldiers
have offered to make and have made.
The boys in France are fighting for

of this war.
Every boy and girl can save his
nickles and dimes by giving up the
picture shows and soda fountains;
and by working during his spare time
can earn money to invest in War

One War Savings Stamp will feed a
soldier for more than week. Many

ing-if we are not to risk defeat or
an inconclusivc, or dishonorablc peace,
we must act quickly-we must put
forth our every effort now. We must
win the decisive victory that will
make American freedom safe and cs-
tablish a just and lasting peace. The
world is looking to us to furnish them
in abundance the supplies that will
make this victory possible. We must
not fail them. We must save every
penny that we can get and buy Thrift
Stamps. believe that when this war

swinging the handle around, the

BARNUM NOT FIRST IN FIELD
French Surgeon, Centuries Ago, Proved
Himself Genius In the Art Of
"Humbuagery."

On January II, 1913, some ma
sons were digging near the ruins of
the castle near Dauphine, Upper
Burgundy, in field which by tradi-
ton has long been called the Giants
field. At depth of 10 feet they dis
covered brick tomb, 80 feet long,
IL feet broad and 9 feet high, bear
ing the inscription, "Theutobochus
Rex" Within was a giant skeleton,
rs feet 6 inches in length, 10 feet
across the shoulders and feet from
the breastbone to the backbone. The
teeth were about the size of an ox's
foot, and the shinbone measured 4
feet. Some of the bones were car
RED to Paris and placed on exhibit
ton. They spoke for themselves, to
disastrous result, as will be seen.
With regard to the story, Parisians
had to depend upon the word of the
self-alleged organizer of that party
of masons. He was surgeon named
Muzerein. His ingenuity and energy
in advertising himself and his giant
indicate that he was the Barnum of
his day. Both the pleasure-Seeking
and the scientific world were excited
over the wonderful discovery. Thou
sands flocked to see the bones. Doc
tor Muzerein was on the high road to
fortune when one day an anatomist
announced that the skeleton of King
Theutobochus was nothing more
than a part of the fossil remains of
an elephant.
