Seventeen full Ave-dollar War Sav ings Stamps were purchased In our school. Each child seemed anxious to do something to help break Hin denburg's line. Another thought, too, seemed to prompt n united ef fort on the part of the children-the thought that they, by saving and lending to the government, were helping to provide warm clothing for our soldiers in the tronches.
