''WANTED"
BY MARIAN r. CARTER.

Say, Jack. that is crackerjack
idea" exclaimed Tom Stevens, as his
chum finished explaining his plan to
bring Beth Butterfield, Toms sweet
heart, to terms. I'll bet If she saw
such an advertisement she'd answer it,
just for the mischief of doing some
thing odd"
The next day there appeared In the
Siconset Summer News columns the
following:
"Wanted-A young gentleman with
q good reputation would like to corre-
spond with young lady in the sum
mer colony. T 49,"
A few days later in Toms morning
mail was "A large envelope from the
newspaper office enclosing three let
tiers in answer to his advertisement
The first two he opened were very I'M
interesting and from girls he did not
know, but the last one was the one
he wanted. Beth had writtenl
II was very formal little note, ex-
actly like Beth, but it gave Tom the
opening he desired. Tom answered II
and few days later another letter ar
rived. This was surely immense fun
on Toms part, for since his proposal
Beth Butterfield had treated him very
cdolly and now, although unknown to
herself, she was corresponding with
him.
She had said when she refused to be-
come engaged to Tom that she wanted
"to have a good time and not be tied
to any one man. Well. she surely
seemed to be having n good time from
what Tom could make out. Dances.
tennis. canoeing. swimming, and all the
other thugs that go with good time
ut the beach.
After their correspondence had gone
on about two months Tom decided 1t
was time to take definite steps. so In
his next letter he asked II he could call
and meet the young lady who had given
him so much pleasure through the sum
mer. One week passed and then an
other, and Tom decided to write again.
The next morning he found u short
note. saying that a meeting would be
impossible. for she expected to leave
very shortly.
But fortune always favors true

Casino that very evening. and Tom
knew that Beth intended to go. Yes.
he would go. too. and see II things
could not be Strengthened out that
very night.
When evening came Tom dressed
for the dance and also slipped into his
pocket two of the letters Beth had
written, including the last one. The
dancers were all busy filling out their
dance cards when Tom got there. so
he Immediately began to Ill his own
out. As he approached Beth she
turned slightly away, but Tom, I'M
daunted. pretended not to notice her
movement and politely asked for her
card. He took several OF her dances,
including the first. those at intermis-
sion, and the last. Poor Beth, what
could she do? Everyone was watch
ing her, anyway; for they knew that
she had refused Tom once before.
When he returned her card she bowed
slightly but said nothing.
At intermission Tom managed to
get Beth out into the conservatory.
and then asked her again II she would
marry him.

fore this. was the statement of her
husband. He also declared that they

To BUY WAR SAVINGS
STAMPS ALL Be KEPT

Because of the epidemic and unset
tied affairs due to vacations, many
people in Maricopa county are behind
in their pledges to the county war
savings committee in the matter of
purchasing thrift stamps, and so Coun-
ty Chairman J. c. Dobbins has sent to
all secretaries of war savings stamp
societies, to the ministers of the coun-
ty, to Sunday school superintendent
and to school teachers a letter calling
attention that the year is nearly fin
ished and all such pledges should be
redeemed as quickly as possible.
Chairman Dobbins' letter reads:
we are drawing near to the close
Of 1918. Every member of your war
savings society has made a pledge to
purchase some definite amount of war
savings stamps each month of 1918.
Due to the summer vacation and the
influenza quarantine, many members
OF the Maricopa County War Savings
societies have failed to complete their
pledges. Every war contribution and
subscription has been oversubscribed

stamp purchases must also be in ex-
cess OF the allotment in this county, ir-
respective of what the country, state
or other counties may do. You have
q responsibility in this matter, and
with your cooperation we may ac-
complish our purpose. Please see eV-
cry member of your society immedi-
ately and urge that every one purchase
stamps to cover their pledges for past
months and also for the month of De-
cember. We hope that by December
- all purchases for the year will have
been completed. When you know that
every member OF your society has pur
chased the full amount Of his pledge
for the year. kindly write this office
at once, stating that fact and give the
names of all members of your society
and the amount of their monthly
pledges. A full list of war savings
societies viii be published in the daily
papers several times during December,
with star inserted after the names of
those societies all the members OF
which have completed their pledges.
Let your society be one OF the first
to appear with star
One of the important features of the
campaign in the past few weeks has
been the effort to secure from as many
people bills Of acceptance which are
to be applied upon the purchase or
war savings stamps. County Chair
man Dobbins states that he has been
highly gratified at the response which
this form of appeal has received.
Enclosed in the letters sent out to
a great many people not residents Of
the cities in the valley were three slips,
each to be filled out and returned TO
county headquarters in room 10 of the
War Work building Gold Central
school.) Hundreds of such bills of ac-
ceptance due November Is were re-
ceived this month and now that the
cotton crop situation is easing up con-
siderably it is expected that the "bills
of acceptance" for December will COM
mence to come in. especially from the
| farmers of the valley.
These bills agree that the signer
will on or before December Is agree to
accept from the county committee or
its authorized agents a certain num-
| Der of war savings stamps (baby
| bonds) the number the signer agrees
to accept being left to his patriotism
and generosity. During December each
| of the baby bonds, which on January
| !, 1912 mature at a face value of s.
! costs but S4.2S, the interest from De-
cember next to January 1, 1928 bring
ing the bonds value up to IS. These
baby bonds are readily converted into
cash upon ten days notice at any post
office. When so converted they bring
their cost with interest at a slightly
lower rate than if allowed to mature.
This bill of acceptance" plan has
been one Of thel most successful fea.
lures the county committee has origin.
