WISELY FEAT] :-/ SOLVING WAR PROBLEMS TAUGHT PEOPLE THRIFT Country Urged to Keep Benefits Gained Through Lesson of Sav ing Learned Last Year. Fellowship in the fastest growing society in the United States is open to everybody. In every state in the anion it is gaining members daily, -v since it is a society in which the good orf the country is served as well as that of the individual. From all walks of life its millions of ? aver increasing members come. No one can be a member and keep the eledg? he takes without receiving lasting benefits and aiding the United Btates of America to maintain the proud jplace it has already attained? -- ; the peer of any nation that has ever existed. When the trqpsury department of . the United States began the attempt to solve the financial problems thaj^be~ -' ;~-*eMihe country as it was entering the s war, the United States was a debtor nation. Only on understanding that f ' ^t is the greatest creditor nation in f2r the world today can one realize what - an achievement has been won. With-j t out a direct tax on the people money has been raised to pay for the successful termination of the war, and this cost more than $20,000,000,000. 1 Beside this enormous amount of money there is now more money in the banks than before. . This, of course, was done tkrpugh the Liberty Loans, principally. But these loans have ceased, and those at the head of the nation's finances are seeking to clinch the lesson already teamed, and are urging the permanent establishment of War Savings Societies. The Treasury Department is doing a service for the small investor in acemoll on nmmint a? twentv UUy liU^ OV/ OiUU'A MM MiWV ?

CAN CHOP OVERHEAD We Joined with glee to celebrate the birthday anniversary of Washington, who, when a boy, chopped down his father's cherry tree, and later, though but still a youth, surveyed the trackless forest waste, and always practiced simple truth in every project he embraced. Then when the Revolution broke out George stepped bravely to the fore and threw aside our foreign yoke, and saw uc safely through the war. No adjectival flourish here could tell in full hit epic life, but this we know and 5e)ld it dear, he won our sadon's- primal strife; he fought, he built, he sagely taught, he loved this land of liberty, and what his sacrifice then bought is handed on to you and me. To him we owe untying debt to keep Our nation's loner bright, and emulate him so I that yet we travel holding Freelozn's light; va cannot all chop iherry bark, but we can chop the 'overhead," and, cutting out some mostly lark, buy W.

ICS y< SAID EVERY SOLDIER " KEPT TRENCH SHOVEL b< Engineer After Viewing Battlefield jir Makes Interesting Commentary isc ?Could Find Everything \w But One Trophy- He Jo] Wanted. s( ir An eminent engineer recently returned to Washington after traversing on government business much of the j western front. He went over the bat- |1; tie area before the army salvage corps ia! had removed the signs of conflict. j "I saw pretty nearly everything i b there," he said. "Lots of rifles, bayo tl nets, machine guns, helmets, soldiers' j packs, water bottles, and even hand- i a kerchiefs and socks all over the ground. 1 "I didn't want any of them. Be- | cause I'm an engineer, I'd set my i 0 heart on a trench shovel. I'd seen ,!t* thousands of them back of the lines, i d but I wanted one from the battlefield, a I looked and looked, without finding j one lying around loose. Wherever I n there was a shovel, the man who'd L used it was lying beside it. "Then I understood.
