ABOUT the meanest trick re-

ed ice cream to sell after the
commencement exercises, and
pending the completion Of the ex-

the freezers downstairs while
they mingled with the audience
upstairs. And in their absence
some miscreants not only stole
the cream but the freezers and
saucers as well.

FROM the number of dogs that
prowl around the homes of Rock

Judge that the owners either are
unfamiliar with the dog law or
simply are wilfully violating it.
Section 5 of the law recently
passed states specifically that
mo person shall allow his dog
over six months old to run at lar
&c in the night time unaccompa-
MED by the owner, by some
member of the owners family,

owners permission. Any person
Intentionally, knowingly and will
fully violating this section shall
be guilty of a misdemeanor and
upon conviction, shall be fined
not exceeding fifty dollars or inn
prisoned not exceeding thirty
days, and shall also be liable in
damages to any person injured
or suffering loss to his property
or chattels."
A colored man near town last
week lost a hen and 18 chicks by

mands financial damages for the

AGENTS CARRYING
MESSAGE OF THRIFT
Harold Braddock, Director Of Savings
Division Writes Letter Of APP
probation to Each Of EiQh-
teen Hundred Workers.

First-hand informa ton and sugges-
tions as to how to obtain increased
efficiency and prosperity may now be
obtained by women on the farm, in
any part OF the country, from the home
demonstration agents Of the depart
ment of agriculture. Entering into the
national savings movement with a zest
that characterizes all their work,
some eighteen hundred of these home
demonstration agents have been carry
ing the message of thrift into the farm
houses all over the United States.
In appreciation Of their voluntarily
undertaken work, Director Braddock
has written a letter to each worker,
Of commentator, which reads in part:
Thrift is primarily the peoples con-
Germ. If thrift Is to become a per1na-
nent national asset, the peoples <agen-
cies and organizations must definitely
assume their share of responsibility
for intoxicating thrift by including it
in their program for action. Schools,
churches, business and labor organiza-
tons, fraternal societies and women's
organizat tons, as well as agricultural
workers and agencies, are already un-
dertaking this work and are in close
cooperation with the treasury de-
partment."
According to Mr.. Braddock's letter,
plans for the creation Of savings facil-
tiles in the home are outlined as fol-
lows:
Il. Habit of saving first some part
of income for future needs and Of
spending wisely for present needs.
e. Home betterment fund, to Sc
cure, for example, running water in
the house.
IS. Savings plan for every boy and
girl
~. Savings fund in government se-
curities for every family.
20. Keeping of accounts to pro-
mote wise spending and to increase
savings
&c. Safe investment OF savings
CNos. 2, 3, ~ in government securi-
ties until money is needed; War Saw
! ings Stamps as desirable invest
ment."

BANKS ORDERING
HAND GRENADES
Over $4,000 Children In Fifth District
Will Be Routing Enemy, Waste,
During Summer Months.

Richmond, Va.-According to the
latest available figures over five hun
dred banks in the Fifth Federal Re-
serve District have ordered supplies
of hand grenade penny9avings banks
that are to be used by the children for
summer savings. The total number
of hand grenades that have been or
dered exceeds 175,000.
The plan of the hand grenade bank
originated in the Treasury Depart
ment, and the banks are being dis
trtbuted in this district by the War
Loan Organization here. Every school
child under the age of seventeen years
may. by applying at the local bank, re-
ceive one OF these hand grenade
penny-banks as a loan for the vaca-
ton period. II, during the summer
enough money is saved to purchase
one or more War Savings Stamps the
bank becomes the property Of the
child.
The banks are made out of real hand
grenades that were to have been used
against the Huns. With percussion
cap and high explosive removed, and
slots cut to receive and take out coins,
they are now doing service against
the enemy, waste, as banks for saw
ings.
School officials all over the district
are enthusiastic about the plan, as
they. feel that it will not only keep
alive but strengthen the thrift ideals
that already have been implanted in
the minds of the children.
J. H. Binford, assistant superinten-
dent of public schools here, has en-
dorsed the scheme, in recent letter
expressing the hope that all the banks
in the district would cooperate by get
ting supplies of the hand grenades, as
the school children are enthusiastic
about securing them.
