What Yves Did.

Yves white, teamster down ID
Lowell, Ark, was so patriotic during
the fall Of 1918, before the Hun va,
finally vanquishsd, that he put .
mortgage on his team and wagon fsi
$50 and bought War Savings Stamps
in his desire to do his duty BY tia
government. Some thought IVES was
doing more than his financial strength
warranted. But he just went down
into the woods, cut up fuel and sold
it and the mortgage was soon lifted.
Now Yves is buying more stamps, be-
cause he realizes their value and hnAa
he can save.
