NEW CONFIDENCE GAME

WAR STAMPS PROVIDE
 A WAY FOR SAVING

WASHINGTON, Oct, l6- Total sales of War Saving Stamps through out the United States for the first seven months of 1919 amounted to nearly $lOO.OOO,OOO, according to a report made by the savings division of the treasury department. The ex- act figure is $95,4O0, ,470.2l. This makes a per capita investment Of about ninety cents, whereas the gov crnmcnt at the beginning of the year asked a per capita purchase of S1O worth of war stamps in order to meet war debts.
 The saving of nearly SlOO,OOO,OOO in seven months is concrete proof that the governments thrift campaign IS checking extravagant expenditures" !" the report says, Checking of eXtrav- agant buying is the only remedy for high prices. Saving SlOO,OOo,OOo simply means cutting down demand by S1OO,OOO,OOO and turning the money to much needed production of neces- sites"
 Leading economists of the country have said there is no hope of lower prices until the people understand generally that they must stop buying things that are not necessary and they have indorsed the United States government war savings stamps cam paign as the most effective remedy to that end.

Walt Mason Converted by tho Salvation

Walt Mason, one of our best
beloved poets, has beee convert
ed by the Salvation Army work
ers in Los Angeles, California,
and in his characteristic stylehas
written the following poem about
his conversion:
One night while walkingdown
the street, my mind on pleasure
bent-I sought the pleasures of
the world, but my soul was not
content-I saw the bright lights
of the theatre; they beclloned
me to come, as did the music and
the song in the place where they
sold rum. / stepped into a pool
hall and found a vacant chair,
and thought that | would rest a
bit and drive away dull care; but
my mind is still persisted in tur-
ming memory sod, reminding me
of the time when l was winning
souls for God. | couldn't find the
rest and peace, satisfaction would
not come, when suddenly | heard
the sound of the good old army
drum. It's voice it called me clos.
er, and l found an open air, and
once more | could see myself
kneeling there in prayer. For |
had been a soldier, and known
the Saviors smile, but now l was
a deserter sinner weak and
vile. But in spite of all my mean
ness, | went to the hall that
night, My intentions they were
proper-I meant to do the right
But a deserter is a cOwardAal
ways raady with some excuse -
or perhaps a careless person
and wonders, what's the use,
But the prayers of Gods faith
full people won my hard and sto
ny heart, and at the front tha
night | made another start. Ant

Mrs. John Cock.

Mrs. Mary Tanner Cook, the
subject of this sketch, was born
Sept. 1G, 1860, and departed this
life Aug. -, 1919, age SO years,
10 months and 26 days. She was
married to John D. Cook in 1873,
with whom she lived happily for
Al years. She leaves a husband,
seven sons and four daughters to
mourn her loss.
A chair is vacant around the
family hearth stone; her seat at
church and Sunday School is no
longer filled. But she is not gone
forever. She has only passed o.
YER the river of death into t h e
realms of eternal rest. She pro-
fessed faith faith in Christ and
joined the Baptist church in 1877
and lived a faithful member un-
til her death. She was ever rea-
dy to aid and assist in any wor-
thy cause. She was q leader in
Sunday School work and devoted
a great deal of her time instruc
ting children, and they loved her
dearly. She was ever ready to 90
to the assistance of a sick or
needy friend, and no night was
too dark for her to 60 when the
call came.
Husband, childrenand friends,
let us but remember that which
we ARE sorely grieved and miss
her presence, oh, 50 much, it will
be but a short time until we shall
follow and if we are faithful to
Christ we shall join her in that
home eternal in the heavens, not
made with hands.
These are some of her las
woIds, as remembered by her
children. "Be good boys an(
girls. Meet me in heaven. BE low
ing brothers and sisters, as yo,
always have been. So. live thai
when God calls You home there
will be a united family in heaven.
Her work on earth is ended; hel
troubles and sutferings are end
ed, she has gone to hereternalre
ward.
