What Yves Did.

Yves white, a teamster down in
Lowell, Ark, was so patriotic during
the fall OF 1918. before the. Hun was
finally vanquished. that ne put a
mortgage on his team ard wagon for
$50 and bought War Savings Stamps
in his desire to do his duty by the
government. Some thought Yes was
doing more than his financial strength
warranted. But he just went down
into the woods, cut up fuel and SOLD
it and tine mortgage was soon lifted.
Now Yves is buying more stamps, be-
cause he realizes their value and finds
he can save.
