ATrue Ghost Story

Years ago there was a family
lived in Union county, Indiana, in
the edge of a woods. One night
there came up an awful storm. The
woman was scared about the storm
and went to the window to look out,
and as the tightening flashed she
saw a man coming toward the
house. She called to her husband
to come in the room, that there was
a man running toward the house,
she supposed to get out of the
storm. Her husband came in,
waited for the man to come to the
door. But he never came. They
went outside and could not see him
anywhere. Several times they
saw the same man coming toward
the house in the evening. and he
would disappear just like he did
the first time. The man told the
neighbors about what he had seen.
and they told him man had killed
his wife and four children there.

Elsie in the Haunted House

Once upon a time in very large
city there was very fine old uni
versity. All the students were
girls who were very much mis-
chieveous. One of the girls
whose name was Elsie, didn',
think it right to be.
One night all the girls were in
a room planning to do something
to brighten her. They finally de-
cided to take her on the following
night, out of the city to deserted
house. many people thought this
house was haunted.
When it came time to try the
plan they quietly slipped to Elsie's
room, blindfolded her and carried
her down the back stairs, being
very careful not to waken her.
They finally arrived at the haunt
ed house. Investigating they
found a room that had some boxes
piled up behind the door, laying
her carefully on the boxes they
left her alone and went back to
the school.
Soon after Elsie was Weakened
by noise. She sat up and saw
light carried by two men. She
sat very still. The two men sat
down and began to talk now, not
long before. Elsie's father had died
leaving her fortune. Someone
had taken the money but no one
knew who it was. Elsie, listen
ing, heard her fathers name men
toned.
Very much money lay on the
table which Elsie was now posi-
tive belonged to her. Soon the
men for some reason went to the
next room. Seeing her chance
Elsie slipped from her hiding
place, took the money and started
to run. stumbling over a chair as
she ran. The noise brought the
men from the next room in time
to see Elsie's skirt disappearing
through the door Elsie knew the
men would follow her, so seeing
an old apple tree near climbed it.
sitting very still.
Soon when she was sure they
were gone she climbed down and
hurried to the school.
Next morning she asked the
girls why she had been put in the
old house. They told her all
about it. She then told them the
story of her fathers money and
her experience in the haunted
house
After all the girls were good
friends of Elsie's and they had
many good times together, talking
over Elsie's strange story.-Mabel

That runs by the willow tree.

That inspires my restless soul.
The grass upon the climbing hills
Is turning grey and brown.
And all the leaves upon the trees
The wind is wrestling down.
The rosebush has lost its fragrant
bloom

The crOcus and the daffodil
Have dropped their heads to sleep.
But the golden-rod, that lovely
flower.
A flower that holds it's own,
Like the dandelion that blooms in
Spring,
And the yellow golden glow.
The willow tree has lost it's leaves,
The clover has lost it's bloom,
And all the birds and insects, too,
Have found their winter home.
The hungry eagle scars 80 high,
Tired and weary from the heat of
the day;
lie looks and darts to the trees and
ground,
Trying to find his bird of prey.
The trees are losing their golden
leaves.
While the breeze is soaring high,
And the clouds of white and red
and grey
Are moving across the sky.
The woodland looks SO cold and

And the flowers have ceased to

But the little brook. with its water

Has never lost Its tune.
The little brook. it never stops

VICTORY CAMPAIGN
STARTS WITH BOOM:
new LOAN POPULAR
Interest At 43496 Per Cent And Four
Year Term PIeases The
Public

Atlanta, Ga.-The Victory Loan
campaign has got off to flying start,
to judge from the kilograms pouring in
upon the district headquarters within
the first few days of the big drive. That
the Sixth Federal Reserve District
will go over the top with a bang is
indicated by the early results, though
it will require the cooperation of every
citizen to make success assured.
The announcement of the terms of
the Victory Loan did great deal to
inspire subscriptions from those who
invested from business standpoint as
we'll as from patriotic motives. The
notes pay 3/49o, the highest interest
of any Of the Liberty Loan series, and
are payable by the government in four
years after date. This high interest
and the short term makes them GER
tain to remain at a high figure, .flnan-
ciers say, and there will be no dan
ger of their dropping to discount.
Secretary Carter Glass has announc-
ed positively that this will be the last
of the Liberty loaas. 1t will pay the
bill for defeating the Hun and bring
the boys back home.
The campaign all over the district
was opened with parades and great
celebrations. In Atlanta the central
part of the city was more deliberately
decorated than ever before in history
In several of the larger cities the ely
ing circus" of airplanes fought mimic
battles In the air high above the
streets. Secretary Glass is to deliver
an address in Atlanta on May l.
Chairmen all over the Southern
states are reporting that the Victory
loan is easier to put over than they
had expected.
Our people have not lost their pa
triotism," they report. "There was
an apparent apathy. We had begun
to believe the public thought the war
was all over and there was no use In

subscribing TO more ponds. But We
were wrong. The American-city man,
town man, farmer,-is willing to pay
his share Of the war bill, and he is
proving it."
That is the patriotic side of the mat
ter On the business side, the short
term bonds or notes appear TO strike
the public eye favorably. Ehe average
man is more willing to tie up his
money for four years than for long
er period, and the fact that the gov
eminent promises to pay in four years
makes the securities more easily ne
gotiable at full price than if a period
of twenty years were involved.
The quota for the district is $144,-
100000. Several counties reported
arly on the first day that their quotas
had been reached, and asked for Vic
tory Loan honor flags, which are to
be awarded to every community over
subscribing its share. The fair and
square individual quota system adopt

them over the top on Volunteer

Pershing FuIfiIIs
Hope of Ancestor

Greensburg, Pa.-Gen. John j.
Pershing fulfilled the wish of an
ancestor that a member of the
Pershing family should save AL
Sace-Lorraine when he led the
victorious American armies
against the Germans. This fact
is disclosed by Rev. Justus n.
Pershing,' a cousin of General
PerShing, who has made public
letter written in Alsace-LOr-
raine more than 200 years ago
by Frederick Pershing, General
Pershing's great-great-grandfa-
Their. In this letter the generals
ancestor expressed the hope
that his son, Frederick Per-
shing, Jr., or his descendants,
"would come back some day and
redeem the fair lands of Alsace-
Lorraine from oppression"
According to the letter, the
PershingS lived in the village of
Kehe in Alsace-Lorraine in 1774
and fought under Emperor
Charles against the Magyars.
Soon after that, when a law was
passed that all able-bodied men
between the ages of sixteen and
fifty must join the laIfdwehr to
protect their country from raw
ages by the Austrians, Frederick
Pershing, ST., sent his son to
America. Frederick Pershing,
Jr., reached this country in
1749 and, after marrying a Miss
Wyant in Baltimore, settled in
Westmoreland county, Pennsyl-
vania, where General Pershing's
grandparents were born.

The dignified lady took out card
