nine most useful words are: And, be,

ISN'T 1T TRUE?
What is a nickel worth?

What is nickel worth?
OF and by itself not much, you
may think.
| Nevertheless, nickel SAVED
gives you, without waiting, the in
terest earnings of a whole dollar for
a whole year.
And a nickel WASTED means a
dollar put in an old sock, hidden
away, made useless for at least 365
days.
Saving is the foundation of thrift.
Thrift stops waste, increases wealth
and builds prosperity.
These are some of the things the
War Savings division of the Ninth
District War Loan Organization is
trying to impress upon the people of
this and other Northwest commun-
ties through general publicity and
the organization of War Savings So
cieties. ~
These thoughts make us who have
had little respect for nickels and
dimes and dollars stop and think. 1t
should make us take personal in
ventory and decide if there are not
ways in which we can save. 1t
should make us cut out some per-
sonal waste and put the result into
some of Uncle Sans stamps.
This thinking in interest and the
saving of money leads to endless and
helpful reflection.
For example, if every person in the
United States saved only one insig-
nifcant, little nickel in one day by
doing without some useless and per-
haps harmful thing, what would it
amount to?
It would mean that at night on
that day the people of the United
States would be just Five. Million
Dollars richer.
| Suppose that the people kept this
UP for one short month What would
that mean?
1t would mean that at the end OF
that thirty days the people of the
United States would have saved One
Hundred and Fifty Million Dollars.
This would be great, but why not
keep it up for the rest of 1919? The
result of this combined and con-
tinued saving would be that we, the
people of the United States, would
have saved for investment, between
now and January LIST, over One
Billion, Five Hundred. Million Dol
lars.
This immense sum, if invested in
War Saving Stamps, would earn for
US savers approximately Sixty-four
Million Dollars in 1920. This would
have been done without a single sac
rifce, with hardly an effort and all
from nickel savings.
Just think of the result if individ-
ual saving and investment were car
ried into hundreds of dollars, as it
should be.
This wonderful nation must now
depend on its own people to finance
it's great governmental projects and
all of it's own industrial development
To do this we must learn to produce
more, to eliminate waste, to save and
to invest wisely. With the lesson of
Thrift learned, nothing can stop
us. Personal and national limits of
accomplishment will be off.
Let us begin now by:
Following the suggestions of the
War Loan Organization.

wings Stamps security of the

Crow Has Earned Farmers Hate.

Most commonly the crow is hated by
the farmer because it pulls up the
young corn to get the soft seed kerr
nels at the root. and everywhere is. to
be seen the scarecrow in the newly
planted corn fields. Later on the dam
age they do to the corn crop can hard
ly be estimated, because they peck the
end of the young ears, allowing the
water to enter the shuck and rot the
corn.

SOLDIER RETURNS
! FROM FRANCE

Thomas B. Clark, volunteer from
Council, and brother of Mrs. N. G.
Irwin of Payette, who has seen seven
months service with the marines, ar
rived in Payette last Saturday and was
met here by his mother, Mrs. Jen-
ME Clark, of Council. Mr.. Clark is a
bright young man, 23 years of age,
end from his own story has seen some
Of the worst of the fighting. He says
lie has gone into battle with his COM
pany of 1876 men and returned with
but eight mon fit for service. His
service has been mostly with the shock
troops and he certainly has some very
thrilling stories to tell. On July 10,
1913, at the battle of Vierzy, he was
wounded twice, while advancing, both
of which was in the legs, and while III
the trenches was almost completely
covered with dirt which was thrown
in from the explosion of shells. He
was covered to such an extent and
wounded in both legs it was impossible
to release himself. AS lis comrades
advanced one young man tried to pull
him out but could not and went on
with the advance. Later another
wounded boy who was barely able to
crawl, made his way to the trench for
safety and fell in the shell wrecked
trench beside young Clark, and, while
unable to stand, could use his hands
and by vigorous efforts released him
from his buried condition. Mr. Clark,
while wounded in both legs, was able !
To walk and got his comrade to his
fS&S and one arm around his neck and
assisted him back to first aid St
ticA, distance of mile and half. |
Mr.. Clark has one brigade decoration
with 13 citations for bravery, and one
badge for individual bravery. He is
is home on 80 day furlough and re-
turned to Council with his mother this
morning and viii return to his COM
pany at Quantico, Virginia, Feb. %.

ments is more than can understand

that / am not TO blame. / left Ger
many 36 years ago at the age OF Is

ser and his milNarism and domina-
