we do not watch out she will prove j
it conclusively. America is the rich-1

South alone was $26.73. That sounds <
like we have the money, and we cer-!

Uncle Sam is out to show you how. |
He wants to be your savings banker.'
He offers you not only 4- per cent, in-'

government as security. There could |
not be a better incentive for thrift |

far less, yet they save more. They j
iiave no way to put their savings into j
amall government securities, the popu-'
lar denomination being that of five
hundred francs, or $100.
It would not be very convenient to
?ave if we had to put our pennies into
en old stocking until we had accumulated
$.100 as the French do .would it?
And the stocking doesn't pay any interest.
So let Uncle Sam take care

Pointed Query at Boches j
When Fire Was' Most Terrific
in Belleau Wood, .
_____
It isn't nice to swear in type. Neith- j
er is war nice. This is a war story, j
It was told by Brigadier General Cat
lin in his book, "With' the Help of ;
God and a Few Marines." Belleau
Wood is the setting.
The General had given his troops
the order to advance. His last words j
were, as they started across the wheat i
V fields under a withering fire, "Give 'em ,
^ell, boys."
'Some one * has reported," the Gen- |
eral continues, "that they advanced j
on those woods crying, 'Remember i
the Xiusitania.' If they did I failed to
hear itT / *
"Somehow that doesn't sound like
the sort of things the Marines say
under the conditions."
V Then General Catlin tells what they j
did say. When the lines were waver*
ing under the terrific German fire, a
sergeant cried out:
"Come on you ?' , do
you want to live forever?"
Tell the marines that you are not
.going to take your share of the coming
Victory Liberty Loan.

SIX CLAIM BODY OF "HUBBY" ,
( 1
Philadelphia Coroner Called Upon to j (
Perform Judgment Similar to j ^
That of Solomon.
I
11
Philadelphia, l'a.?Coroner Knight | I
has been caHed upon to perforin a
judgment similar to the one that made 1
Solomon famous In biblical history.
.Six "widows" have put in claims for
the body of Anthony Oster. thirty-four
years old. who died in the West Philadelphia
Homeopathic hospital on De- i
cember 20, of injuries received while <
fighting for one of them.
Each of the "bereaved" emphatically '
states that Oster was married to her. 1
It is the herculean task of Knight to i
decide whose claim is legitimate. 1
It is likely that the body wiJi be j
given to Mrs. Anna Oster, who says
that she was married to Oster 11
years ago and that they had two children.
The woman with whom tlv* de- ;
ceased was living at the time of Mis
death is known as Mrs. Frances osier. |
Two "widows" and four children in
Lancaster. Pa., and two "widows" and
four children in Reading also claim
the body. 1
Osier was killed by Henry Eugene
Loom is, a boarder, after Oster ac
eased him of insulting the woman witn
whom Oster lived.

Butcher Birds Are Carrying Off Canaries
by the*Score in California.
San Francisco.?Scores of canaries !
have been carried away from their :
cages during the last week by butcher- *
birds, who by the thousands have 3
taken up their winter abode here in ]
the fastnesses of Sutro forest.
The Dotcherbird is described ns a -1
first cousin to the hawk, is about one- c
quarter the size and possesses a nreda* *
tory bill. It is his habit to circle high j*
in the sky until his sharp eyes catch 11
sight of a canary as it perches In a h
cage hung on some veranda. Then, J *
when It is satisfied that its move- J
ments are not being watched, it swoops
noiselessly down, thrusts its talons and
hooked beak through the bars of the 1
cage, pulls the luckless bird from its 1
domicile and flies swiftly away with its
prey. Sometimes the butcherbirds <
seem to be satisfied with the mere
killing of the songbirds. '

NEW WAY TO GET RICH QUICK j
" 1
Man Charged With Shipping Bibles to j
Dead Persons C. 0. D. and Collecting
$5 Thereby.
Seattle. Wash.?A new way to get J
rich quirk is alleged to have been dis- !
covered by F. J. Coineau of this city, j
whose complaint led to the arrest 5n :
Taconia of H. A. .lourdan, who is accused
of shipping Bibles to dead poisons
0. O. D. and then waiting for the
casli to roll in from relatives.
.Tourdan is alleged to have obtained
the names of dead persons in the
Northwest from obituary notices in the
newspapers. As soon as the names I
...wi were obtained Bibles !
were shipped with a hill for $ij each, j
In almost every case the Rihles would j
arrive on the day of the funeral and J
the relatives would immediately s?>nd !
the Jm. The Bibles are said to be i
worth about 75 cents. To add dignity !
i
to the scheme the name of "Rev. lr:> I
Worth," a mythical person, is alleged I
to have been used. |
Comeau says he discovered the j
scheme when he received a Bible And j
hill for $.*> when his daughter died re- j
cently.

Two or three cowboys from a ranch j

he barracks, where fie found every- j
>ne peacefully sleeping. He let oot a j
owboy yell, "Yip, yip, yip, yi, yi, yi, j
'i. yaa, lioo!" The rest of the men, ,
making up in alarm, asked what was I
he matter, and he replied, "I w^nt !
