Keep 1918 and 1919 War
Savings Stamps Separate

Purchasers of 1919 War Savings
Stamps should not place them on
1918 certificates. If the 1918 GER
tificate has blank spaces, just put the
certificate away without filling it in
with 1919 stamps.

cards are used this year as were used
last year, and when a thrift card
holding sixteen stamps is filed, it
will be exchanged for 1919 War
Savings Stamp on payment Of the
additional cents. which represents
the difference between the price OF
the War Savings Stamp, and 81, the
value of the sixteen Thrift Stamps.

Hands and Pockets

This is the story of soldier who
put his hand in his pocket TO deceive
his superior officer, and was cited in
orders for bravery for doing SO. His
name is Ellsworth o. Terrill, and he
is a corporal. When he went over
the top in the vicinity of Hagenbach,
Alsace, France, en- August 21st, 1918,
he had his right hand in his pocket.
In his case he did it to hide some
thing, but he was discovered in the
act, and for the offense he new wears
the Distinguished Service Cross, Civ
en- by General Pershing.
Corporal Terrill's hand was man
gled and torn by piece of shrapnel.
He knew very we'll that if his Ser
geant had seen that injured hand he
would have lost his part in the coun-
ter-attack which was then going on,
so he stuck it in his pocket, and
dauntlessly went over the top,throw-
ing hand grenades at the retreating
enemy with his left hand.
Suppose we think of Corporal Ter
rill, when We put our hands in our
pockets for the Victory Liberty Loan.
Many hands will be put deep into poe
kets and withdrawn empty. Other
millions will go deep to bring out
savings and then pledge future earn
ings to make the heroism Of men
like Terrill worth while.
When the time comes for us to
put our hands IN our pockets to an
swer the call of our Government we
should forget our excuses and re-
member the hand that Corporal Ter
rill stuck in his pocket.

Private Newcomb Writes

February ,, 1918.
Dear Mother
Just a few lines to let you know L
am we'll, and getting along fine. Hope
you are all we'll. l haven't gone on
leave yet, but will go tomorrow, for
sure, and am expecting to have fine
time. We go to a nice town, where
they have plenty of skating, and
skating is something I like. 1 don't
know where 1 will go after that
home, l hope.
! Mother, we ale having lots of cold
weather over here now; it has been
showing for three days, and it is zero
here now, but l don't mind that; we
| don't have to fight in it, that's one
good thing. Believe me, l am glad
! the war is over, because l know we
would freeze up in the trenches this
| kind of weather, but as it is now ev-
erything is o. X. 1 haven't heard
from Wilbert since 1 have been at
this school; l can't see why he has
not written to me. l would surely
like to hear from him, but am sure
he is making out all right; let us
| hope so, anyway.
Mother, | am sending you one Of
my pictures, so you can see what l
| looked like when 1 was at the front.
1t doesn't look so good, know, but
you can't expect to look good in a
place like that. By the way, 1 got
| nickname while 1 was at the front,
l mean while we were in the lines. 1
went up in the front line one day to
take a message, the shells and bull
lets were flying all around me; two
days after that a Lieutenant said to
me, "Oh, there's the man with the
smile" 1 didn't know what he
| meant, until l went into the Office
one day, and he exclaimed, well,
| here's our man with the smiles
again." then someone asked why he
called me that, and he said, "He
| came UP on the front line one day
where everybody was almost dying,
where shells were bursting all
around. yet he was smiling" Well,
he know more than I did; if 1 was
smiling didn't know anything about
it, so they called me the man with
| the smile after that. l told him it
WIS not worth while to cry, as that
would not do very much good Don't
you wish you couldn't worry about
anything like l do, but l suppose I
will have something to worry about
some day, but it was happy so lucky
with me in the lines, and l guess that
was the best wa 10 feel about it. af
ter all. don't you. Thank the Lord
l got out safely, anyway, so that was
the best of all, and Wilbert was just
as lucky. l haven't heard from Clar-
| ence since l have been over here.
From your loving son, LEVIN.
| P. S.-Don't answer this letter I'M
| til you hear from me, because I don't
know where to tell you to write. Take
care of yourself. L. j. N.

Effect of Color on Soil,

To test the effect of color on soil
and on vines, a specialist at the ex-
perimental vineyard in Montpelier,
France, covered the ground with a
thin layer of cement, leaving a
small opening for each stem, and
then painted portions of the cement
white, black ana red. Under the
black and red soil temperature rose
much higher than under the white,
giving nearly twice as much growth
to the vines. The productive, soils of
the Midi it is pointed out, are mostly
reddish, and these of the vineyards
of the Charentes are black.
