brary with its chintz hang
ings, its bright windowdoxes, its
gaily colored pictures and it's rows
of bookshelves, with here and
there a round table, all filed to
capacity with books and magazines.
When one looks little closer, how
ever, one discovers that the chairs
are lower than the ordinary library
chairs, that the pictures are for the
most part beautifully colored illus
trations of we'll known fairy tales
and that the volumes on the tables
and shelves were written exclusively
for boys and girls.
In short, this is the celebrated
Bookshop for Boys and Girls, whose
fame has gone forth among the
juvenile population throughout the
land.
Sitting in state on the ,old-fash-
toned mantel is the presiding genius
Of the shop, Alice Heidi, a lovely

two favorite hetoines, Alice, of Won
derland fame, and Heidi.

eggs in the first four or five months
of the year to enable her keeper to
raise and market several dollars
worth of young ducks from her eggs.
These young ducks have size and
weight, and may be made fat and
juicy before marketing, which is al
ways done by the big duck raisers in
the East, and this is why they raise
ducks of the Pekin variety for the
market This can be done as we'll,
and there is always ready and profit
able market for such ducks.
Three Features Of Value.
There are really three features Of
value in the Pekin duck. One is her
eggs to be converted into young ducks
as suggested. The other is her feath-
ers, which are abundant and of soft
texture and valuable in the market,
and she may be picked at least twice
q year. The third point of value is
when the duck herself is fattened and
marketed.
Pekin ducks are great foragers, and
with favorable surroundings. such as
q pond or other water source, and
erase to range over, they will pick up
in this way more than half of their
food. 1t Is true they may be raised
under less favorable conditions, but
at less profit and with more care and
work.

THRIFT A WAR HERITGAE
Congressman Howard, in Signed State ment, Tells of Benefits of
 Saving.

Government securities afford the safest and most practical investment in the world" said Representative William s. Howard, of Georgia. A War Savings Stamp is a promisory note for S5 if redeemed at maturity, or of the original cost of the stamp plus accrued interest if redeemed be- fore maturity.
 Tt was only after America entered the great world conflict that the small wage earner in this country has been afforded the opportunity of investing in government securities, of becoming co-partners with the government. That there are today more than 2O,000,000 holders of government securities, as compared with 3,000,000 before the war, is fact which speaks for it. self.
 When you buy a War Savings Stamp you are helping the govern ment To be able to make loan to the government, even as small as the sum represented by War Savings Stamp, is proof of patriotism and also a practical manifestation of that spirit of national thrift and individual savings which has come to us as . permanent heritage from the war"
The Brinkley argus., 1919-07-11

A wholesome and much needed les son has been taught the American people by the government in the var1- ous loan and thrift campaigns which have been launched within the past two years.
 The War Savings Stamp campaign should appeal especially to the salary and wage earner, man and woman, girl and boy, as an incentive to say ing and investment The War Say ings Stamp affords the readiest means of investment and the most frequent and largest returns in interest. As boy I would have hailed with delight such an opportunity to invest my small earnings.
 As a word of business advice to the American boy and girl, I would say; out of your earnings, save something each week and make your savings earn money for you by investing them in War Savings Stamps.

 Governor of Missouri.

Jim Mordic was up from Allendale the other day with his family trading with Argus advertisers. This is about the first time in seven or eight months that Jim could get over the roads into Brinkley in safety with his car and conse- quently he and his people, like hundreds of others in our ter ritory have been forced to go elsewhere to trade. Jim said that when he was driving in the other day and struck 3 or 4 miles of graveled road that his Ford came near running away with itself. He said he cut all the gasoline off and still it ran on that smooth road. Jim has about the largest span of fine mules in Monroe county and Pm wondering just how many bales of cotton that it will take to load them on this new road.

ATTENTION OF ALL PER- SONS WHO TOOK PART IN
 rHE WORLDS WAR.

The American Legion of all former soldiers, sailors and marines is now being formed, any persons who took part in the Worlds War and has not re- ceived an honorable discharge from the service is eligible for membership. This organization is non political and non part1- san; it's purpose being to pre- serve for future generations the history and incidents of the war and to cement together the ties and comradship formed in the service.
 This is primarily an enlisted mans organization, sixty per cent of the members must be enlisted men who served in the ranks. It is an organization in which the men who were not fortunate enough to go over seas are welcome, for they re- mained here in training and performing other useful duties which contributed much to the victory of France.
 I have been appointed by the State Executive Committee Temporary Chairman for Mon roe county, and 1 will be glad to give full information about the Legion to any former ser vice men who care to become members of our Local Post.
 As soon as the minimum number of applications for membership have been receiv- ed we will get a charter and se- lect a suitable name for same. Those who care to become charter members will either see or send in their names to me at once.

How Colds Are Contracted.

{, Colds are due to bacterial germs
that are usually present in the air
passages of the throat and nose of
healthy persons. Under ordinary con-
ditions they do no harm but when you

much SO as to weaken your resistance
they are quick to take advantage .of
it and almost, before you know it
you have a cold. Get bottle of
