In 'em and will not waste it on the

DOING WITHOUT.

There is that maketh himself
poor, yet hath great riches" The
war taught us how to spend. 1t has
also taught those smart" enough to
learn how to do without. Some peo-
pie are growing rich as they throw
off material necessities(?) and take
on a contented state of mind in spite
of them. No money! Husband your
resources. Revivify the old clothes.
Mend the old shoes. No books! Your
Bible, your Shakespeare and your
dictionary contain more than you
will ever know. Doing without is a
growing pleasure 1t is more than
not missing things. 1t is a sense
of the spirits being best man.

war equipment, now on the Mexican
border and ready for immediate &C

for some time been engaged in patrol

five months the four sQuadrons that
it is composed of, the 9th, oath, 95th
and 147th, have been completely re.
constituted, brought up to full
strength in plans and personnel and
have been doing a great deal Of work
in Texas.
The first bombardment group. which
is on a war basis with all it's arma

and they have been brought up to full
