HOW MOVITZ HELPED WIN
 THE WAR.

MoyitZ is a name Wnlcn lnulcateS that the diminutive individual who bears it first saw the light in land which was ruled by an autocratlc czar. but Movitz is loyal American now and eagerly doing his part to hold aloft the torch of liberty. He goes to school in a big New England city, and one day he handed in the following composition to his teacher:
 "One day in August my eldest brother came in the house with book in his hand He had signed my name md had given me a Thrift Stamp to start with for helping him sell papers Sunday. I read in the papers of the German mustard gas and how many American soldiers had been gassed
 then made up my mind to try to run errands and buy Thrift Stamps with what I earned. The Germans launch ed their last great drive when l had five Thrift Stamps.
 "One day after we had sold papers for two hours I fell down and hurt my ankle and 1 thought l would not be able to sell papers the next week. But I was very glad when l could run once again and did not miss my weekly stamp. It was but two more weeks when I had fourteen stamps and two more were needed to make a War Savings Stamp. Here Is how I earned them in one week. Monday | had earned ten cents, and it took til Thursday until earned five more cents.
 Sunday we had ten papers we could not sell. My brother had gone into a house to sell paper when {; man came up to me and asked mt what had. I told him and he handed me the price and took the papers Just as soon as my brother came III he was so glad that he said he woult put up my pay and give me what needed to buy the Thrift Stamps ] was just one month before ths ent oP tho wart''

Studyino Deep-Sea Life.

A peculiar advantage for the study of marine life Is credited the biological station established at Messina about two years ago. The sudden rise of the ocean bed at the strait of Nessina causes very unusual upward currents from great depths, and these are so strong as to bring many of the deep sea animals forcibly to the surface, where they are caught from small beats. The animals are taken under conditions less abnormal than usual. Many of them are able to produce light and some even vary the color of the light at will.

house and offered what help they
could. but the heat was so great that
little could be done, except to prevent
the flames from communicating to a
detached building about 80 feet away
which was saved by brisk north
west breeze, which blew the heat in
an opposite direction.
Twilight had a lot OF pictures ami
other bric-a-brac which he valued
very highly, all of which were lost
Twilight was much excited by the hre
and but for the presence of the prison
laborers would have suffered bodily in
Jury by rushing into the doomed
structure in an effort to save his
most cherished possessions. As it was
he had his face slightly burned and
his hair singed by his exposure to the
flames. He was later restrained from
submitting himself to such danger.
Twilight had lived in the burned
house for more than 90 years. whicf
was by its multi-colored paints anc
adornments. one of the show places o
the community. The house was

counting wages for the time he hat
worked on it, cost him $4,000. The
loss will be severely felt by the ownel
of the property.

lighted Story Changes Every Time This
(Copyright.,


Residents of towns and c,.c- every
where are beginning TO realize more
acutely the fact that. except under
very unusual conditions. their commu-
mites will prosper and develop only
in proportion to the prosperity and de-
veiopmcnt that comes TO the farming
sections which surround them. Real
iZing this fact, commercial clubs and
chambers of commerce have In recent
years been deyoting as much of their
attention to developing the country
districts as they have TO securing new
industries and attracting new resi-
dents. They know that as the coun-
try about the towns becomes more
thiclzly settled and rs the farmers be-
come more prosperous the more money
will be spent in the towns ana the
faster these towns will grow. II is
largely for this reason that the resi-
dents of the towns and cities have
been doing more and more TO aid the
farmers In growing bigger crops and
In improving marketing conditions.
The towns and cities have contributed
more and more libcrally toward the
building of good roads In the country
districts and have paid large part
OF the expense of maintaining ngri-
cultural experts to assist the farmers
in growing bigger crops and getting
more money out of their crops when
they are placed on the market.
