WHY BUY WAR SAVINGS
STAMPS 3?
BY Jennie Glover Brown

BY Jennie Glover Brown.
Because;
For many years we fooled ourselves
That things could perfect be
Only when they were trademarked
With the stamp OF Germany.
AS time went on the climax came
To their efficiency,
When War Of diabolic type
Was Made In Germany
Man wants but little here below,
Nor wants that little long.
But Wilhelm tried to get the earth,
And Wilhelm got in wrong;
For We bought bonds and Savings
Stamps.
That Uncle Sam might send
The food and ammunition that
Would hasten the wars end.
We Hooverized and Storrowized
For our dear country's sake,
But We would not be Kaiserized!
We had too much at stake.
Twas not the time to reason whyi
we knew such things must be
To speed the movement that would
kill
The Germ in Germany
me food we save, the bonds we buy.
And stamps, for many a post,
Are paying toward the barbecue
On which said Bill will roasti
that's why We buy the Savings
Stamps.
And we win buy until
A League Of Nations shall decide
To free this world of Bill

The farm consists of about 200

age, 35 acres orchard, % acres wood

FRAMING A BUDGET
A Help to Wise Spending Rather
Than to Parsimony.

Mr.. ]. II. Puelicher, State Dr.
rector of War Savings for Wisconsin
has prepared budget for incomes
from 5000 a year upward. which has
been pronounced practicable.
The budget provides 40 per cent for
food. clothing 10 per cent, shelter Is
per cent fuel and light 7 per cent
sundries, including savings. % per
cent. He considers the following n
fair example: Food $3.50. clothing
sll7. shelter sl63. light and fuel
$6S.S0. recreation $50, church and
charities s24, insurance s4s. carfare
$3.50, savings S26. miscellaneous, in.
'luding literature. s27.
For $4,000 income the promotions
suggested are: Food s720. clothing
$3.50. shelter $3.50. light and fuel STA
recreation sos, church and charities
s72. insurance ss5, carfare $3.50. saw.
ings $3.50, miscellaneous, including lit.
erature and physician. $3.50, help In
house $3.50. Some items are too low
FOR eastern conditions. notably hous.
ing and carfare, while others might be
reduced.
To save is imperative. Some
people are born thrifty, some achieve
thrift but most of US have thrift
thrust upon US by high prices and
restricted incomes. To all the budget
is the universal help. and as a safe
investment Tor small savings. War
Savings Stamps should be the Art
consideration after the necessities.

CLEIN()GENE FAVRE:
LEGACY CAUSE: Of

Dignifed and solemn, gathered
about in her front yard in earnest as

chapter lin a little legacy playlet
which might be called "The Heirs Of
Clemogene Favre."
This is how the ~ O. Item heads
, local story of pathos viewed in its
cruest sense.
The story, already well known, con-
tinues.
Old Clemogene Favre died back in
Oklahoma. AS an Indian ward of
The government he had gathered a
considerable fortune.
Superintendent Gabe Parker, in Ok
lahoma, instituted a search for the
Favre linenal descendants, and finally
learned one of old Cleomegn's sons
had enlisted in the army in Bay ST.
Louis. Mr.. Parker wrote here to the
Red Cross association for aid in locat-
ing Dennis Mrs. Mary eager, Red
Cross worker, found the boy in COM
pany |, Ninth Cavalry, and through
him she located his mother and half
q dozen other heirs. Mrs. eager dis
tributed 20 them the legacy, which
totaled several hundred dollars.
The news travelled fast. Evidently
the Favre family did not clearly un-
derstand whence this windfall had
come. SO they passed the word
among their red skin friends that the
Great Pale Face in Washington
was given away money to his red
children. SO shortly after sun-up
the next morning all the representa-
tives of the five civilized tribes IN the
neighborhood of Bay st. Louis greet
ed Mrs. eager as she opened her front
door and demanded their share OF
the gift money Mrs. eager had
considerably difficulty in persuadlng
them they were net all heirs OF old
Clemogene Favre but she finally sue

COUNTY AGENT PITTMAN URGES
FRIENDLY COMPETITION.
Says Every Nan, Woman and Child
Ought TO Take Interest and Be
nehE Thereby - Farmers
Should Take Advantage.

BY F. B. PITTMAN, County Agent.
The premium list Of the Hancock
County Fair has been completed and
distributed throughout the county.
Eight community fairs has been
scheduled in different sections Of The
county, and the prospects that point
to a series of live community fairs are
good.
This is a time when every man,
woman, boy. and girl in Hancock
county will have a chance 30 como
together in friendly competition and
show to the public the things they
have been doing and the things for
which they stand. These little fairs
are going to be valuable to the
communities end to the people who
attend. They ere educational med
iums through which new ideas and
methods are most easily carried to the
people They teach cooperation ana
foster community spirit.
The business men and financlers
have long since realized that the per-
lnanent prosperity Of our country is
largely dependent upon the. develop
ment of it's agricultural and live stock
resources, and they are endeavorlng
TO improve these things through fairs
and other educational mediums.
The farmers of this section are fast
passing from the one-crop system
Diversifcation has come to stay. Sen
sible crop rotations have been intro
duced on most farms. We are rapid
ly growing into one of the greatest
livestock producing sections of the
country. Farmers who are willing to
improve their methods and keep pace
with their heighbor need help and de-
pendable information. The fairs are
the logical places to get this: There
YOU come in contact with the most
progressive farmers of the county
with an opportunity to exchange
ideas and swap experiences. 1t yonf
naighbor has succeeded in producing
a superior product, pig, colt or calf
YOU will be interested in finding out
how he did it.
These little fairs will be sue
cess If every one comes and brings
something to exhibit. The desire to
excel, wholesome rivalry without
a trace Of jealousy is the spirit to
bring with you to the fair.
