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

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. S. S. instead.

Engineer After Viewing Battlefield jir
Makes Interesting Commentary isc

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. The soldier, |
dislodged from a position^ might loose '
his pack, his extra clothing, even his
' rifle, in his escape, but he never let p
go his shovel. j !
"He knew he had to have it, to dig j
[ himself in again."
War Savings Stamps are trench j J
shovels for digging in against adver- j
sity.
