Sycamore Hill homestead, all Of Colonel
Rooseyelts family except two Of the
sons. Lieutenant Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt Jr.. and Lieutenant Kermit

prayer at the side of the casket in which

The members of each society were sent letters requesting their aid in the selling campaign. Each member Is asked in towns where there is a first or second class post office to find some member or individual who will buy at least one $100 Certificate. If the cer- tificates are not at hand at the post office, the member is urged to use his influence with the postmaster or bank to get an immediate supply.
 In St. Louis almost the full quota for the first weeks sale was reached on the first day.
 In view of the exceptional value of the United States Security offered, this first selling campaign ought to be enormously successful. The securities are the United States governments direct promise to pay. on January |. 1924, at the rate of per cent, com pounded quarterly.

HOW THE GRENADE OPERATES

There is a lever over the top of the American hand grenade which is held in place with a pin with ring on the end of it. When the ring is jerked, pulling out the pin. the lever begins to describe a semicircle over the top of the grenade. It takes from three to five seconds for the lever to make the semicircle and then the grenade explodes. The thrower, after jerking the pin, keeps his hand on the lever to hold it still until after the bomb has been thrown. Several million of these hand grenades are being made into savings banks to help children buy Thrift and War Savings Stamps. They will be distributed free and will serve also as war trophies.
