WASHINGTON FIRST
 LIBERTY BOND HOLDER
He Lent s72,000, Without inter- est, to the Government He
 Fought to Establish.

On the birthday anniversary of George Washington 1t is douhly inter esting now to note that the Father of His Country was the first Liberty Bond holder, in the true sense of the term.
 Washington, from time to time dur ing the Revolutionary War, advanced some ST2, 800 to the young Government by paying expenses that the Govern ment was under obligation to pay. This sum does not represent all that he actually spent, as later he found he had omitted many items in the hurry cf warfare. The loan consti- tuted a non-Interest bearing invest ment in the first national Liberty Bond.
 To loan thus to the Government en- tailed sacrifices on Washington's part which the present day holder of Lib erty Bonds does not have to undergo. To get the funds with which to con tinue the loaninS of money to his country he was compelled to sell prop erty in Virginia. When the American Army was QUartered in New Jersey for the winter. provisions were as scarce as money. and he ordered sup plies requisitioned from the people. Holders of the requisidon receipts given where 1t was necessary to take food for the soldiers in reality became Liberty Bond holders. Ultimately they received full value in money.
 George Washington, the first Liberty Bond holder, had to establish the gov ernmenr which was to repay him. The faith he demonstrated can well be re- membered today with the Victory Lib erty Loan soon to be Issued by the country, of which he was the first President.

 But dollars can be put to work now. Invested where they will gain interest, they work without your aid. Govern ment War Savings Stamps operate on this principle. In five years a War Savings Stamp which cost S4.12 this year will be worth S5. The following table shows how $100 grows when in vested and left to accumulate:

"CREASER" DONKEY WATER
 CARRIER PENN. TROOPS HAD

In letter received by Bridge porter from former "paT' who sol dtered with him in Mexico with the 18th Pennsylvania Infantry, N G., (DuQuesne Greys), now the 111th h. fantry, a story is related concerning 'Sapolio'' a Mexican Burro, adopted by the old Eighteenth as regtmentaI mascot. brought back to Pittsburgh and later taken to France with the or ganization.
 The first member of the regiment to take an interest in "Sapono'' was a little Italian, private in the rear rank, by the name of Pucinni The little donkey was brought into camp when the regiment was with the old Seventh Division encamped just east. of Mt Franklin, back of Fl Paso, near the Rio Grande. His master was a little peon urchin who utilized the buclling 2 burro wagering with soldiers that no one could stay on the donkey's back over one minute. The stakes were very small and very few soldiers won them.
 Pucinni was the only soldier who could stay on the animal any length of time and in his pride at ccompIish- ing the feat, purchased the borro for s2.25. Finally the whole regim ent became attached to the sturdy little donkey bandit and he became the rec ognized mascot of the organization. Colonel Kearns' beloved dog, Sport became passe to all but the colonel himself and "Sapoao" became the favorite.
 ''SapoIio'' was mustered out with the regiment after his tour of duty but on the call of the President in May
 
 regiment He was again in service and went to France with the 28th Di- vision.
 Pucinni still considered SapoIio as his ward. A little training in Pitts burgh had worked a wonderful de- velopment in the donkey's intellect The boys treated him with great af-

lection. He was one of them and he sure was a smart lively, brave little burro. On arrival in France, and while the regiment was still in training, Pu- cinni taught Sapolio to carry water. Later this training proved very valu- able as 1t was the means of sewing soldiers in Sapolio's outfit from dying of thirst On several occasions when the regiment was besieged in the trenches with shells exploding all about, their retreat cut off and ad- vance suidIdal: when no supp4res cousu be brought up, Sapoio proved his bravery.
 From a well about two miles in the rear Sapolio would be burdened with heavy barrels of water. Off he would start for the trenches, through gas and SheI-f1re. On entering the trench the donkey would stop for the first mar who would fill his canteen. On he would go stopping directly in back of every soldier, wait until the canteeD was filled and continue to the next When his supply was exhausted he would turn about and casually canter back to the well for a fresh supply. At one time he kept this up for three days without rest. Finally, one night, with the aid of flares the Ger mans discovered the little beast and succeeded tn placing two machine gun bullets under his tough little hide The wounds laid sapoHo up for a few daya but he was soon back on the old job.
 The almost human behavior Of Sa- polio was marvellous. Under heavy lire when shells were bursting above the trench and the soldiers would crouch low, Sapouo would act in the same manner by throwing himself low against the trench wall and staying there until the shell fragments came to earth and the danger passed
 Sapolio is coming back to Pittsburgh next month with his old regiment and all the boys of the 111th agree that he will be the most beloved and val uable piece of animal flesh in all Pennsylvania for years to come.
