SOLDIERS RETURN

They are coming, our young heroes,
Crowned with victory triumphant,
From their fight for liberty;
Sister, sweetheart, wife and mother
Wait with eager heart and tender
For the loved ones DER the sea.
Some there are who're not returning
Some for whom sad hearts are yearn.
ing
They have fallen in the fray;,
Meath the soil of France they're
sleeping,
Ger the graves the lilies weeping
Waiting thu last reveille.
They have won a fame immortal,
They have oped the shining portal
Of freer world to be;
They-our country's pride and glory
Let the future tell the story
How they died to make men free.

For more than four years the world

The Ninth Federal Reserve district

statement in calling attention to the
secretary Of the treasury's statement
that the government is in urgent need
Of money. with war costs now in their
highest point. With It he coupled an
appeal for careful spending, thrift and
saving.
Instead Of spending twice as much
as in past years the people Of this dis.
trict have every reason, both OF per-
sonal advantage and national necessity
for saving" said Mr.. Void. 1T is true
that prices are higher but most fami-

substantial savings.
THE immediate way Of loaning
