CHILDREN, THRIFT AND
 PATRIOTISM.

In summing up the total of War Say ings Stamps activity in 1918, some remarkable records made by children in tue 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 a 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, ming as they are able to do.
 That there is no loss without some gain is as true now as ever, and out of recent conditions have come inval uable lessons in thrift. Patriotic teaching too has been accelerated by the War Savings Stamps. Thought fitness for the general welfare and willingness to practice the utmost self denial in order to help and uplift, rep resent the loftiest type of patriotism, and these the children are acquiring through the medium of the tiny bits of Government assurance which, pur- chased methodically, quickly grow into the more valuable War Savings Stamps.
 The little Thrift Stamps are laying a broad foundation for American char acter upon which the years may build. It is cause for congratulatiOn that they are to remain with us. The children we always have, and the needs of the Government are still greater. There is no excuse for us if we neglect the opportunity to drive the lessons home

A REAL PATRIOT.

"Uncle Sam's War Saving and Thrift Stamps are better than any stock in the world" wrote boy in the eighth grade of a certain school in big New England city. While the stock is likely to drop and ruin the man who OWES that stock, Uncle Sam's stamps never fail 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 only nutritious food.
 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, doing domestic work, doing odd jobs, running errands, and putting ashes on slippery sidewalks.
 
 ways to make money for adults and children. Being thrifty is one of the best habits that any man, woman or child can learn. A boy or girl learn ing to save by buying War Savings and Thrift Stamps will later on in life keep up the habit and not spend money foolishly. If the American people could be thrifty while the war lasted they can keep 1t up for a few years more. There are few people who go around talking about what they would do if they were a soldier. You can put q spoke in their wheels if you ask them if they were thrifty and saved food. The answer ninety-nine cases out of a hundred will be No Then they will slouch away grumbling something about cant afford to buy stamps. Most of these boosters are good-for- pothings So-Buy, Buy, Buy until your pocket is empty" -.

"Saved by the hand of God" is the way the nine natives composing the crew of the SO-ton schooner Oronana characterize their escape from death, after having drifted helplesSly 30 days on one Of the loneliest bits of ocean in the seven seas.

No GENERAL RULE POSSIBLE
Matter of Proper Amount of Bodily Exercise Must Be Left to Dis
 eretion of Individual.

Ut is an axiom that mental excel. lence IS to very considerable extent dependent upon mans physical con dition," declared Secretary of State Robert Lansing. Tt Is equally true that rules of health, except the most general, depend ill large ,neasure up- on the individual and upon his peculiar needs.
 If I were asked to lay down rules which mi Int be applied generally" con- tinued the American premier, T would embody them in the phrase More fresh air and less food.' How much bodily exercise should be taken and it's character depend upon the individual, his physical condition and, to an extent, on his tastes. Of course, exercise Is, as rule, beneficial but 1t ought to be a pleasure to the one taking 1t if he would get the best re- suits.
 Tt may sound like heresy, but l sometimes wonder whether exercise. when 1t Is not a diversion, Is really worth while. Certainly the mind Is not rested if 1t rebels against certain forms of physical training which are being taken, and recreation for the mind of one engaged in intellectual pursuits is, in my opinion. one of the most essential purposes of exercise of the muscles.
 "I believe, however, as l have said, that fresh air is one of the great re storatives, and the fact that exercise is generally taken in the open is one of its chief benefits. From "Secre" tary Lansing's Story of His Health and Energy" by Richard M. Winans in Physical Culture.

The Freshet of 1888.

The Freshet of 1888.
 A heavy rain on Monday carried off most of the snow and ice, making the streets of Stafford Springs to be al- most impossible at times by reason of
 le torrents of water that flowed, of
 hich the sewerage system could
 arry off but small portion. But for
 le frozen ground and surface ice
 reat damage would have resulted to he roads, and as it was considerable was occasioned.
 The greatest inconvenience comes from the washing away of the N l.. N railroad bridge over the Quaboag river, just east of the Palmer depot.
 The high water prevented the run ming of the Mineral Springs mill on Tuesday, and 6 large numt CT of em- ployees of the company engaged in the annual clearing out of the ice in the cove above the Spring street bridge, which helped dam back the water. By the use of powder and levers the mass was sent down the stream al out noon. Julius Converse was standing on the ice when the loosening of a mass let him into the water. Those standing upon the wall reached out and assisted him out, and one of his shoulders was dislocated in loing this.
 The damage to the New London Iorthern railroad between Palmer and Norwich is estimated at $2O,00O.
 The water on East river was the highest known since 1877, the wings )f the Granite mill dam, rebuilt in 377, being flowed over for the first me.

JkPAN'S SMALL RICE GARDENS
In Comparison With America's Miles of Farms They Might Almost Be
 Termed LauohabIe.

Almost one-half of the land capable of cultivation in Japan is planted in rice. Handkerchief gardens would perhaps best describe the little rice fields, many of which are no larger than a tennis court, are equally flat and are surrounded by rims of earth to hold the water when the fields are flooded.
 The average rice field in Japan is about one acre and half in size; but large or small, each field must be lev eled and each must have its rim or dike. There must be a system of canals to bring water to the fields and another system of ditches to take 1t away when 1t Is no longer needed,
 It is said that there are 12OOo square miles of rice land in Japan, the greater part of which has been pre- pared with an almost infinite amount of labor. That area of land cultivated In rice virtually feeds a nation of 5O,- 100000 people.

The next and last Liberty Loan will come in the Spring, probably in April 1t has already been named the VIC TORIUS FIFTH. This tells its pur- pose in three words.
 It will provide funds for taking care of the American Army in Europe dur. Ing occupation and in bringing the soldiers home.
 It is peace loan az we'll as a war loan. The men have done their share magnificently in securing peace for the whole world. The money that is to be provided for them is being spent now.
 It must be spent if they are to 70 on properly with the great work they nave accomplished: if they are to come back fin good order and are to be demobilized as they deserve.
 The billions raised in other loans and taxes have gone to the expense of actual fighting. guns and ships, munitions, transportation. clothss and food.
 And with these funds the war has been won. The victory has destroyed the menace to civilization. It has brought the peace for which we have worked and for which our forces have fought gloriously.
 The men have finished their work. It is for the nation to finish its pro. vision for them generously. Ana the VICTORIOUS FIFTH will lo this.
 To do it in a way worthy of the men who fought will bs source of pride to every man and woman and child ir tho nation. It will be done best il the whole people begin now with th< new year to prepare for the last loan
