(Patriotic Honor Roll.)
Tho following list ot girls and
boys of Ebenezer Graded "School are
actively participating in the War
Savings Campaign in an effort to aid
our government in making the world
"safe for democracy," each child
whose name ls given below having
purchased a War Savings Certificate,
or Thrift Stamp In various amounts.
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.
We wiBh to. call attention to the
fact that some of these War Savings
Stamps were purchased by little
tots In the primer clasB. Inasmuch
as"the Kaiser has been sending in
fants to the bottom of the ocean, we
think tho purchase of War Savings
Stamps by our little tots a fitting an
swer.
The work in our school has been
accomplished by tho hearty co-ope
ration of the patrons and all teachers
of the school. Our literature, etc.,
was received from the Charleston
office on January 10,- and wo were In
structed to report to Hon. J. W.
