! Jeruss'em.-The life of two periods
/ distant by many centuries, seems to
flow along the roads that lead to this
ancient city.
The camel. though he has done great
things for the British forces, is losing
| his position as the main means of
transport, and the natives driving their
camels carrying huge packs of East
ern merchandise are passed by the big
engines of the evergrowing British
broad-gauge railway, at which the
country people stare with OPEN
mouthed establishment. Then along
will come an Assyrian or an Arab on
his donkey or mule, his wife walking
behind and carrying great pack on
her head. In this way they transport
much stuff for many miles, Now they
are smothered in dust from the great
quantity of motor transport on the
roads.
The five barley loaves and small
fishes still have to feed a good many
people in this country, and women
may still be seen grinding their scanty
cup of corn between stones, but now
country already is showing signs of
vast Improvement. Cotton is still
made up into rough material in a
primitive method on kind of bow.
With the new opportunities now open
ing up the old spinner is likely to be
looking for another job.
Already in quite small towns you
win see names of well-known London
firms. This has aroused the local
shops to kind of competition. and all
kinds of important signs over small
shops. with hardly anything to sell, an
nOunce: "'The Provisions" 1.-THE Up
to-date Hosiery and Dry Goods Store"
1.-THE Manchester House." and many
similar. 1t is doubtful If 8 per cent of
the prospective customers can read
the signs.
Shepherds on the hills still tend
their flocks, dressed in camel hair, and
nightly light their camp fires to keep

Altogether, with the present means

CHILDREN, THRIFT AND
PATRIOTISM,

In summing up the total of War Saw
ings Stamps activity in 1918. some
remarkable records made by children
in the schools are shown. This means
not only a vast amount of present
help to the Government, but snug sums
of money for the children themselves
when the stamps reach maturity. But
the prospect of financial gain, excellent
as it may be, is but small asset when
compared with the practical training
in thrift and the lessons in genuine pa
triotism. which the young folks have
received.
Parents have been accused. often
justly, of over-indulging the children
and it is true that many children grow
to maturity with no conception of the
value Of money until forced to earn it
for themselves. Even then they are
ignorant as to how to apportion their
income, because untaught. and the
thought of contributing to the general
welfare does not enter into such plan.

A REAL PATRIOT.

Uncle Sans War Saving and
Thrift Stamps are better than any
stock in the world" wrote boy in the
eighth grade of a certain school In a
big New England city. While the stock
is likely to drop and ruin the man who
owns that stock, Uncle Sans stamps
never fall but gain steadily. They
are better than any bank. for the banks
are liable to fail while the stamps
never fail
Here are some ways for people to
save. For adults: stop buying trash
that is no good for any one; stop going
to foolish places as moving pictures
and theatres unless some historic play
is at that theatre or picture house Eat

For children; girls can earn money
by doing sewing, washing dishes, and
doing other domestic works.
For boys: boys can earn money in
a dozen different ways. Here are a
few. Shoveling snow, sitting ashes,

running errands, and putting ashes on
slippery sidewalks.

ways to make money for adults and

FLAX DISTRICT IS RUINED
Belgian City Taken by Germans Shorn
OF 6arges and Precious
Machinery.

Neutrality-suspicious. the war Cour-
trai was a center for the production
of flax of European Importance, and
the city harbored for this purpose a
large English and Irish colony. Now
the whole fax district is ruined. The
large barges in which the fax was put
to rot in the Lys were sold by the
Germans as firewood much below their
value.
The copper from the fax mills and
the other precious machines were
requisitioned. The soldiers were quar-
tered in the factories and the cele-
brated "Leicweerschen," the plains on
which the. fax was bleached, were
plowed and planted with tobacco and
potatoes. Many, indeed, of the fertile
flax fields were turned over several
times and many served as battlefields.
1t win be years before the fields bear
fax again.

VICTORY DOS AND DON IT'S.

1. Do eliminate the "ifs" from life,

vest securely, and insist upon receiving
full value for every dollar expended.
L. Don't forget that you are your
own biggest asset. and that you can
capitalize yourself by saving.

country's victory finances. You will
have more interest and be better Cit
izen.
