The Chldren's Campaign for Saving and Thrift

You were before. So is the Gov
eminent.
NOW CHILDREN: This is very
important. If you save a quarter a
DAY and buy one Thrift Stamp a
day 1t means SIS a year. A Nickel
day means SIS a year saved.
If 20,C0C,O00 boys, girls and big
people do the same it means ONE
BILLION FIVE HUNDRED MIL
LION Dollars saved each year for
the Government. Think of it:
$1,500,000,000.
And SO it is, that Saving a little
Candy for Tomorrow
and Saving few cents a day
and buying Thrift Stamps
will enable every boy and girl to
help the Government
Let's resolve to do all we can in
this way.

had been told to her by her mother.
Years ago in County Kerry, Ire
land, an hour after her husband
had gone to meeting in another
village, Mrs. Grant, while ROCKING
her baby in cradle near the fire,
was suddenly startled by hearing a
knock at the door. She fastened
to open it and into the room step
ped a woman who inquired in a
rather muffled voice as to the
whereabouts of her husband.
After telling her where he was,
Mrs. Grant, being a hospitable wom-
an, prepared to cook some supper
for the stranger. But while doing
so fork which she was using,
fell to the floor, and while stopping
to pick it up, she happened to gaze
underneath the table. Then she
saw. that her strange guest had on
mans trousers, and she guessed
and guessed rightly, that she had
beneath her roof not a woman but
man, who in all probability was
robber.
Without waiting a second, she
ran to a ladder that extended up
to a loft above. She hastily climb
ed 1t and pulled it up after her,
thus preventing the robber from
climbing up. After finding that
he could not reach her, the enraged
robber suddenly grabbed the baby
and made as though to throw it
into the fire. AS last hope to
save her child, Mrs. Grant shouted
to her faithful mastiff, who was
asleep in a corner of the room

In a short while the man was no

Finding Gold in Alaska

This is a true account Of how the
Nome gold Aelds were discovered.
Two Finlanders named Lind
strom (brothers) wanted to 60 to
the Yukon, but their funds only
carried them as far as San Francis
CO. One day while at the docks
they encountered a captain looking
for two deck hands. He was sail
ing for Behring strait
When the boat had gotten nicely
under way the captain discovered
that the Lindstr0m brothers were
landlubbers and didn't know the
difference between the jib-boom
and the anchor
Il thought you said you we're sail
ors, you nunbskulls!" he roared
with true nautical anger.
mo, / said tailors," averred the
one who had negotiated the deal.
It was too late to turn back so the
captain kept the brothers on board
until he reached the first bit OF
land, a neck Of the bay across the
mouth of the Yukon. He gave the
brothers a supply of grub and put
them OF.
II can't be bothered with you any
more" he said. THAT grub will
zee you through. Hoof it around
the bay to st. Michaels."
So the Lindst0rms landed on the
coast and threw in their lot with a
band Of Eskimos. They found that
the natives had plenty Of gold and
questioned them about it. The ma
tives were not at all secretive and
showed the brothers where the
metal had been obtained. The
coast line at that point-now Nome
was rich with the metal on the
sandy shore. The Lndstroms went
silently to work.
After months Of arduous labor
the brothers gathered small for
tune and they started for st. MI
chaels. They were as silent as
clans and never showed enough
dust to create interest. They
reached Frisco, where they bought
machinery to work their claims in
bigger way. While in the city
they let hint drop and soon one

The Candy Box.

ne Nanuy con.
BOYS AND GIRLS: Let's start
out with a Box of Candy. That is
a pleasant beginning. surely.
How long will the Box of Candy
last? Maybe an hour? Two hours?
Not very long, Ell?
And then the Candy Box is emp
ty! Worse than that: You have
little pain in your stomach. Very
likely!
Well: the finish isn't as pleas
ant as the start.
Better go to bed without any
supper" says Mamma. And here
is tiny little dose of Castor Oil.
Come! It's good for you. Down
with it! &c."
Oh, the wailing procession up
to the little bed! Then good
night"
HELLO BILLY! Feeling little
better this morning Tummy ache
cured, eh?"
Yes, yes! A big Box of Candy is
a right good beginning; but it may
be a very bad ending!
How much better it would have
been to make it last longer! Why
not eat a little candy now. Eat a
little after supper. Save some for
the next day Why not?
What do the pigs do when the
farmer flls the trough? Why, of
course they eat and eat until the
trough is empty. That's pig ma
ture.
Your nature ought to be just the
opposite of that. You can think
ahead. The pig cannot or does not.
Next time youth ave a Box of
candy, why not put half Of it on
the top shelf Of the pantry. Then
you will have treat the day aft
erward. Then you will not have
the stomach ache and you will not
need the Castor Oil.
1t is all right for a pig to be a
pig.
But boy ought to be a Boy.
Save something for tomorrow.

Your Uncle Sam needs money to
pay war bills, and everything.
He will call on your Father to
pay more taxes. But Uncle Sam
needs more than he can obtain that
way. He wants your help, as well
as your Papa's.
What's that? Uncle Sam need
the help Of a little boy like me?"
Eyes, indeed! Every boys help:
every girls help"
The box of candy story will
show you the way.
"
JUST SUPPOSE! Suppose, that
your Aunt Polite has given you a
quarter:
Careful now! Don't answer until
you think of the Candy and the
Castor Oil and the Pigs and the
Trough and the Stomach Ache!
That is what your Thinker was
made for. 1t was made to use in
just such times as this.
A quarter is very fine thing as
it is. You cannot cut it in two II
you want to save half of it.; a cut
quarter is useless.
The best thing you can do with
it is this: Take it over to the Post
Office and tell the man that you

He will try to model his system in the

plant Mr.. Henson will teach some

the foreigners in general, the funda-

will teach the men applying for citi-
