HE TELLS WHAT HE
THINKS OF AMERICA
Syrian Says Now Is Time For Every
Man To Prove Patriotism-An-
swer Found in War Savings
Stamps.

Il sometimes takes the newcomer
to appreciate America. The native
born Is often too close to the situa-
tion to realize what this country
means to the world today. He is used
to ell that it offers, taking it as mat
ter Of course, and frequently loses the
vision in sordid detail; while the
new-comer-but listen to what one CT
them had to say.
He is George E. Rihbany Of the
1919 class Of the Boston High School
Of Commerce and he came to this
country from his native land, Syria,
when he was 10 years old. In four
minute speech on the value of War
Savings Stamps, given at the school
recently, he said IN closing:
Hate is not characteristic OF the
American people, but the Germans
taught us unwillingly how to hate
them. Now it is a sin not to hate the
spirit the Hun showed and not to abol-
ish it from the face Of the earth. OF
the latter we are positively sure, be-
cause the American passion for JUS
tice is a hundred times stronger than
was the German passion for conquest.
"I never entertained the idea OF be-
coming an orator and am sure that
I lack oratorical ability, but such
qualifications are unnecessary on an
occasion like this, because the only
and best inducement to true Ameri-
can is the call of his duty and govern
ment, and not even the best Grafton Oh
the greatest speaker of all times.
whether we all realize it or not
we are now in the midst OF period
which will be known to all the op-
pressed peoples Of the world as the
Americanization period. Now is the
time for every one Of us to prove
whether he is a sham American or
genuine American"
The practice Of thrift and the pur'
chase of War Savings Stamps are just
now good indications Of the genuine
American. They make for financial
independence, freedom, prosperity and
happiness.

KEEP GRIP ON YOUR
war SAVINGS STAMPS S
Advertising Clubs Issue Warning To
Protect the Public Against Ubiqui-
touo Stock Swndlers.

Various ways for prospective inves-
tors to detect the unscrupulous stock
promoters are contained in bulletin
recently issued by the National Vigi-
lance Committee of the Associated
Advertising Clubs Of the World The
bulletin indicates several unmistaka-
BILE signs of the wild cat" stock ped
dlels which owners of War Savings
Stamps and Liberty Bonds will do we'll
to consider before exchanging their
valuable securities for the offerings
Of northern stocks. The warning to
prospective investors is as follows:
$50 far as we have been able to as
certain not q single case has ever been
reported where the promoters of le-
gitimate, worthy enterprise have Of
fered to take Liberty Bonds in pay
ment for the capital stock Of new
company. We believe that the very
offer to take Liberty Bonds should
pl ompt the bond owner to consult a
banker or legitimate broker as to the
value of the stock that is offered in
exchange for the bonds. The offer to
exchange is an earmark which should
serve as a warning.
"Another earmark Of the faker Is
his attitude when 1t is proposed to
postpone action pending an investiga-
tion. He will usually sneer att the
thought of consulting banker or
broker Of standing, suggesting that.
Of course, they would not recommend
the stock because they have stocks OF
their own to sell.
"In such a case the prospective In
vestor might be sensible enough to
remember that it is the one who cass7
reflections upon business me? OF
standing who is likely to be the fl"-
by-night salesman. and that the bani:-
er has been in the community many
years and will no Ioubt continue II
business for many more. He :a::.;;s.,s
reason that an established firm
would figure that 1t could not afford
to deceive. Yet there are thousands
OF people who allow themselves to be
hoodwinked because they believe such
fairy stories"

HAND GRENADE BANKS
WILL SOON BE READY
Children Are Urged to Begin Saving
Money At Once So That They
Will Not Lose Any Time.

Some 25O.OOO hand grenade banks
will be ready for dirtrlbution in the
Fifth Federal Reserve District. by
August 2O according to a statement
issued at the War Loan Organization
of this district.
Every one cf these hand grenades
was manufg"trred to carry destruc-
ton to the Huns, and now, with per-
cussion cap and explosive removed.
they are to serve in TIE campaign for
thrift. Made into penny-slot banks
they will be lent, one to each child
under seventeen years old who calls at
a bank. Then, if enough money to
purchase one or more War Savings
Stamps is saved in specified time,
the hand grenade becomes the prop
erty of the child.
There has been some delay IN
Washington in getting the grenades
ready for distribution. due to the large
number that had to be prepared for
their new capacity, but it is nov. as
sured that they will shortly be ready.
Every child who would like real
souvenir Of the great war can get 1t
by calling at the bank as soon after
August 20 as POSSIBLE, for there will
probably be more than 100000 chill
dren in the district who will want the
grenades, and the supply is necessar-
lily limited.
Meanwhile, the children are urged
to begin saving at once so that they
NAV have running start" when the
grenade banks are delivered. The
sooner enough money is saved to buy
War Savings Stamp the sooner the
hand grenade belongs to the child
and the sooner tha child begins to
save the sooner the desired end WIZ
be reached.

A Worlds Eeartache.

The great worlds heart is aching,
aching fercely in the night;
And God alone can heal it, and God
alone give light;
And the men to bear that message,
and to speak the living word,
Are you and l, my brother, and the
millions that have heard.
Can we close our eyes to duty? Can
we fold our hands at ease
While the gates of night stand open
to the pathways OF the seas?
Can we shut up our compassion? Can
we leave our prayer unsaid
Till the lands which sin has blasted,
have been quickened from the dead
We grovel among the trifies and our
spirits fret and toss,
While above US burns the vision of
the Christ upon the cross;
Ind the blood of Christ is streaming
from His broken hands and side,
nd the lips of Christ are saying
"Tell my brothers 1 have died"
A Voice Of God, we hear Thee above
the, shocks of time,
Thine echoes roll around us, and the
message is sublime;
No power of man shall thwart US, nc
stronghold shall dismay
When God commands obedience anc
love has led the way.
Frederick George Scott.

UNCLE SANS MONEY
BEST IN The WORLD
Color Looks Good To Boys Coming
Home After Seeing Only Foreign
Currency for Months.

Just how good American money
looks to man away from home Is
illustrated by the story told by one OF
those boys who fought in France IN
the war for the preservation OF CIVIL
ization. and who afterwards saw. ser
vice across the border in Germany.
Sergeant H. H. Coffee was attached
to Company L, 354th Infantry, and for
six months was at Trier, Germany, oo
miles from Luxemberg. Now ne Is
back home.
"While we were in France. SAID
Sergeant Coffee, 1--WE were paid IN
French money, And afterward, when
we were in Germany, we were paid in
German money. The difference be-
tween the French and German money
as compared with United States mon
ey, IL amazing. 1t Is printed on white
paper, and one gets an awful wad OF
It for comparatively small quantity
Of American money.
~When we got this foreign stun the
bOy2 were very lluSiot VIVA 49,
would gamble with II, would lend II
and handle it very carelessly. But
when we got to Brest on our way
homo. and that money was exchanged
for real American money, all that lid
erality disappeared, and It was guard
ed lealously."
That is one of the lessons the wal
has taught. American money any
promise to pay on the part OF Uncle
Sam, is mighty valuable in the eyes
o. the world. That is why the Liberty
Bonds found 80 ready market ano
that is why the War Savings Stamps
look just as good as money, They are
both evidences of Indebtedness on
Uncle Sans part and his write!
nrouise to pay. There is no recorc
vet that he ever failed to meet al
obligation.

The Saloon Itself A Substitute.
BY Charles Grant Miller.

By Charles Grant Miller.
The saloon itself has been "sub-
stitute" for the home the church the
school, and other wholesome institu-
tions.
Whiskey has been the substitute
for children's shoes, for their edu-
cation, for their chance of advance
ment. Drunken loafing has been sub
stitute fer honest labor; squanderins
has been a substitute for saving, and
poverty substitute for good pay.
Does one recovering from disease
seek substituted"
There is not true mother bat has
looked upon the SELDOM with culver
of fear for the safety of her boy. Is
she asking for "su5stitute?"
There is not an enlightened mind
in all the land but ,l:nows that the sa-
loon is the cesspcol which has been
breeding four-ffths of the vices and
crimes that curse humanity FauDe--
ism, disease, degeneracy-, insanity,
failure, suicide, emanGte from this
cesspool as poisonous vapors emanate
from malarial swamp. Do these
curses require ''substitutes?"
Who thinks of suggesting substi-
tutes for the jails that are to be emp
tied, the poor houses to be closed and
the hospitals no longer needed?
Throughout the country reading
rooms and recreational centres .are
being established and it is at these
places that the young and unmarried
men as we'll as those who have fami-
lies may spend their evenings with
profit and with good to themselves
and the community at large. But
those are not substitutes; they are the
real thing.
Perhaps definite substitutes will be
found; but here are some that have
already found themselves. Empty
pockets will be substituted by full pay
envelopes; bare baby feet will be sub
stituted by shoes; tears will be sub
stituted by smiles; despair will be
substituted by hope and aspiration;
for drunkenness there is the ready
substitute, sobriety
The supposed need for saloon
Substitute" arises from the asump-
tion that the saloon supplies some
real social service. It is false as
sumption.
For every man who ever "got
good job" in saloon, ten thousand
have lost theirs there.
"Lots of legitimate business has
been arranged in a saloon," eh? Line
it all up beside the businesses that
have been wrecked there, and see it
shrink to insignifcance
From every part of the country re-
ports are coming in which show that
practically every case where build
ing has been vacated by the saloon
legitimate business of some kind has
stepped in, taken down the sign, clean
ed UP the place, removed the screen
and proceeded to be OF some real val
ue to the community.
No, it is not substitute we need;
the need is effectively to get rid Of
that which has been doing the substi-
tuting, thus freeing the home, the
church, the school and other helpful
forces from deadening restraints and
iberating manhood, womanhood and
childhood to grow and develop to the
maximum.
The cne d; :ect and effective SUBJ
situte for the saloon is rigid enforce
ment Of the law. This alone will fill
up its grave and sod it over out of
sight.-The Christian Herald.
