War Savings societies are being a.
ganized in all parts of the Ninth Fel-
eral Reserve District as the first i'm
portant step in the national Thrift
campaign for 1919. 7
A. r. Rogers, Chairman of the Dis
trict War Loan Organization, predicts
that by tho closing Of Savings Society
Week, February "a, there will have
been organized at least 10000 active
societies for the encouragement Of
thrift and the sale of government So
curities.
Asked for a statement of the aims
and plans of the 1919 campaign, A. r.
Rogers, Chairman Of the War Loan
Organization, dictated the following:
THE lighting Is over but our war
Job isn't finished. The world has
progressed thus far toward permanent
peace because America stepped in and
with her millions of men and billions
of money made 1t impossible for Au-
tocracy to win. BY our marvellous pro-
duction of war materials and our abil-
ity to use them, we convinced Ger
many that a continuance Of the fight
ing meant national suicide.
What If our American-made can
non, motor trucks, tanks, rolling
kitchens, airplanes, poisonous gases
and ammunition did not reach Europe?
They were in readiness and would
have gone into the lines in the spring.
Germany knew this. She was whipped
in spirit by the tremendous show of
power displayed by America.
Our production OF these things
ended the fighting. They saved
money and hundreds Of thousands of
precious lives. Now they have to be
paid for and they are cheap at any
price. Our Government must pay for
them and we must temporarily loan

ATTACKED BY COON
-Ferocious Animal Fastened Teeth
Upon Aged Mans Hand.

-Ferocious Animal Fastened Teeth
Upon Aged Mans Hand.
A. M. Kenzie, IA years of age, Of
Mitchell, s. D., started out to look
at his traps, and at certain point
in the bluff observed freshly dug
hole. Dropping on his knees he pro-
ceeded to investigate, whereupon q
large coon ferociously attacked him,
fastening his teeth in Mr.. Kenzie's
hand.
He fought the animal as best he
could, and finally succeeded in get
ting his knife out of his pocket. Open.
ing the blade with his teeth he made
an effort to cut the coon's throat,
but the beast had so badly lacerated
his arm and hand that it was almost
impossible for the old gentleman to
subdue him. Finally he succeeded in
cutting the coon's windpipe, but not
until the animal had torn the flesh
from his hand and arm and com.
pletely shredded his coat sleeve up to
the shoulder.

HAND GRENADES GONE,

Loss of Equipment Fails to XIII
the Fighting Spirit Of
8 the Yanks. -

The fighting spirit that made the
American army irresistible is illustrat-
ed in the case of Private Michael ].
Feeney of Company G, One Hundred
and Fourteenth infantry regiment,
Twenty-ninth division, who, with his
buddy" named Brady, put a German
squad to flight by hurting stones at
them. The incident is related In a
letter received in New York from
First Lieut.. T. J. B. Lang, Feeney's
commanding officer who vouches for
!, its authenticity. Lieutenant Lang
volunteered from Jersey City, while
Feeney's home is in Bayonne, N. ].
The Twenty-ninth division was in
heavy fighting in a wooded district in
or near the St. Mihiel sector. III
"Feeney and his running mate,
Brady, were occupying the same bunk
hole In the woods" writes Lieutenant
Lang. There was just some tangled
underbrush between them and the
lines Of Boches close in front. Dur
ing the early morning some Boches
who evidently had come up during
the night got close enough to hurl
their hand grenades into our lines.
We were not in trenches. We had
gone far, far beyond them.
zone Hun hurled a grenade quite
accurately and it landed on the edge
of the hole which was the hunting
lodge of Feeney and Brady. Feeney
saw the grenade coming and jumping
himself, he hauled his comrade.
Brady, after him into the next hole
less than a foot and half to the
right. OF course he didn't have time
to save his equipment.
"The grenade exploded with q ter
rible noise. It shattered the stock
of Feeney's rifle, making it useless,
but Feeney wasn't long in deciding
that the 'Dootchmen' were a dirty lot
and needed a beating. He had no gun
and no grenades so, with a curse at
the kaiser and his servants, he stood
up in plain view of the enemy and
threw rocks and stones at the Huns
few yards away.
"They evidently didn't feel safe fac.
ing Feeney and his mate, Brady, and,
thinking they were due for shower
Of grenades, beat mighty hasty re-
treat for their own territory"

An old Atlanta newspaperman now
In France writes describing a visit
of General Pershing to the front just
before the drive for and capture Of
Fismes.
"When the general came into the
yard at Annex Twenty-Five Of us were
playing tag with Jean, the 6-year-old
mascot Of Base No. 49," he says.
"Of course we all snapped to atten-
ton and saluted. And little Jean,
clicking his heels in true military
fashion, came to attention with an
American salute, holding it like a
small statue until the big chief re-
turned it. The instant the general
finished his salute he walked over to
Jean, lifted him up and gave him q
regular old campaigner's hug with a
regular American daddy kiss right on
the mouth. Jean, though blushing
furiously, chirped: Hello, General
Pair-r-rshang! And there came into
the generals eyes suspicious mois-
ture indicating that he might be think

PLAY TRICKS ON HUNS
BY HIDING TREASURE
Family in Lille Conceals Auto and
Tires From Soldier
Searchers.

1t is now permissible to tell of the
hiding places of French and Belgian
inhabitants, where they saved person
al property from requisition or con-
fiscation by the Germans. This in
formation was at first held up for
fear the Germans in their retirement
might tear down houses where they
suspected concealment Of property.
In Lille one family had an alcove
boarded up and wall paper plastered
over the boards to match the paper
of the rest of the chamber, which was
the living room. In this alcove were
hidden a complete automobile, except
ing the frame, including two extra
tires; also 800 bottles of wine, bronze
and copper candlesticks and other
ornaments. This family was in shot
water" several times when visited by
German searching parties.
The method of the searchers was
for noncommissioned officers to en-
gage the woman Of the house in con-
versation upon some alleged breach
Of regulations while German soldiers
secretly made their way into the
house and gained every floor.
The soldiers with hammers would
sound walls, ceiling and floors in an
endeavor to find the suspected cache.
They would trace exposed water
pipes, gas pipes and electric wires.
The family with the boarded up al
cove was fortunate to escape all the
wall tests.
A number of families, even with
German officers and soldiers billeted
in their homes, were able to clean out
hiding places behind wainscoting
where they stored q surprising amount
of wine and other goods greatly de-
sired by the enemy. Many q hole
was dug in cellars and covered with
big fiat stones, and many persons had
money and jewelry sewed up in hid.

The Merriam Baptist church of

yard, has refused $1,000,000 for the

The graveyard now is surrounded

have made the congregation, which

for the burying ground.
The congregation has voted that
none of its members shall profit per-

the entire income shall be devoted to
the glory Of God. The sum of $780,
600 already has been distributed
among Baptist Institutions in this

Changed Conditions.
1.-THE condition of the world in
which we live and of our country have
been wonderfully changed by this war.
Formerly, whenever we wanted to
finance a great development project
in America we went to Europe for the
funds. At the beginning of the war
Europe owned six billion dollars worth
of our securities. Today these have
been paid up and we hold practically
eight billion dollars worth of Europe's
promises to pay Think of what that
means! 1t means that when we need
money for our Governmental projects
or Industrial development we cannot
go to France or England for it. We
must get it in America. In order that
these necessary sums of money may
be available, we of America must cre-
ate new wealth, must eliminate waste,
must save-not few individuals but
the great mass of our people must
save and thus amass the dollars that
will make possible our development
and prosperity.

with these facts in mind, the Gov
eminent has decided to carry on a
widespread and intensive educational
campaign of Thrift and Americaniza-

Moose Lived for Gays With Ono In

The head of bull moose, which
lived for days and perhaps for weeks
with a bullet in it's heart, now graces
the west door of the South Dakota
capitol at Pierre. It has an antler
spread Of six feet. The animal was
killed by B. A. Cummins of Pierre
while hunting In Canada and the
mounting was done at Winnipeg.
When the moose was dissected the
bullet was found in its heart, covered
with rust, and hunters believe that
the animal had carried the bullet for
a considerable length Of time. The
moose seemingly was in the best Of
health when killed.
