HEART THROBS FOR

Der Edgar Mann, who was reared
here, and who for long time was
foreman of the Lakeland News when
1t was located back of the present
headquarters of the State Bank. We
have never been associated with a
young man of higher character, and
never had better or more satisfac-
tory workman. He is now associate
editor of the Tarpon Springs
Leader.
About a year ago, his little daugh-
ter died at local hospital, having
taken i'll while the family was visit
ing at the home Of his wife's mother,
Mrs. Trask near Haskell. On the an
niversary Of the little ones death we
find the following in his paper. It
gives an insight into tender and
kindly heart, and stamps its author
as writer Of unusual ability:
MARGARET
There is no joy in our heart today
The dead past has buried our dead
but it has not drawn her lovely form
outside the pale Of love. nor hidden
her beautiful face from the eyes oil
memory. A year has passed since
we stood beside her bed-weak, i'm
potent, utterly helpless-and saw the
little life go out; praying the while
from the depth of our tortured SOU
that the Grim Reaper might pass ant
leave to us the little tot that was the
joy Of life.
Vain prayer! She was but an ator
in Natures big scheme. and in The
maze that humans walk in she haC
fallen afoul of death, leaving us witt

sense Of desolation and despair. as WI

that had been the temple Of radi

power that we couldn't understand.
Little Margaret is dead, but in oul
heart she lives. There is a Heaven
OF course, and 1t is the home of he
soul-but Heaven is not far-ot
place; no gulf OF infinite space sep
arates her spirit from ours. she Il

strings and to bring her image oftel

WAVE OF RECKLESS
SPENDING RECEDING

The wave of reckless spending
which followed the war is believed
by officials of the War Loan Organi-
cation to be receding under the in
fiuence of the educational campaign
conducted this year by the Treasury
Department to turn the thoughts Of
the people toward thrift and economy.
An improvement in conditions
throughout the country, especially in
the Southeast, is reflected in the last
report on the sale of thrift and saw
ings stamps and Treasury Savings
Certificates, according to Silas W.
Davis, Government Director Of the
War Loan Organization Of the Sixth
Federal Reserve District. Every
state in this district showed an in
crease in sales for July in comparison
with the previous month. While
there was a noticeable Improvement in
every district, the Sixth had the larg-
est number of states to show gain.
"Our work this year has been
largely educational; teaching the peo
pie how to use their money intelli
gently" said Director Davis. 1--WE
have sought to check waste-waste of
money and material and to impress
upon the wage-earner and house
keeper the wisdom of careful buying
and systematic saving. We have
reached people of every class, from
the school child to the capitalist.
"Now our work is beginning to bear
fruit. But there is yet much to be
done. We are hoping for a steady
decrease in waste; an increase in
agricultural and industrial production
and growing demand for Govern
ment securities, as the people devel.
op the happy habit Of thrift" Peo-
pie who realize the folloy of hand
to-mouth' living find Savings Stamps
and certificates safe and convenient
investments within reach of all.
i Thrift may be made great agen'
cy in reducing the high cost of liv
ing. It's influence will doubtless be
felt in bringing prices down from the
high levels.
| 1.-THE most representative women's
organizations are coming into our ed
vocational movement. With the open
ing Of schools vigorous campaign
will be conducted to impress upon the
minds of children the vital lessons Of
thrift. Thrift Clubs" will be formed
in every school room in the district
and children will be given thrift and

arrival was wealthy individual,
who just casually came over from

for hours trying to find out how ne
got here.
Immediately after the signing of
the armistice conditions on the old
fighting front were in very fluid
state. Getting into France from Ger
many or into Germany from France
was an easy matter. Seven Germans,
including woman, crossed the
frontier at this time and reached
Paris. They came by train with. re-
