Scarecrow By RALPH HAMILTON (@. 1980. Western Newspaper Union.) It seemed to Miss' Mary Burton that she bad reached the very height of earthly felicity when she became he sole owner of a home of her own. Por fifteen years she had taught school, carefully saved her money and now at thirty-five with a paid up annuity pol icy bringing her forty dollars a iontlh she had settled down anid beauty and comfort. Th:'e house was very pleasantly ar. ranged and there was a two-acre gar den. This latter had been neglected and Miss Burton had great ideas of improving it its she accumulated the money to do so. An orphan niece, My ra Davis, had come to live with her, bringing the furnishings of two rooms, inherited from her mother. The ar rangement was that Myra should as sist about the house, and if they could get a little fancy work to do they' would Join in this feature of inereas ing their income. "The first' thing we must do Is to get that old 'chicken yard in order," said Myra. "It will take about fifty yards of poultry .netting to -patch up the tad fence and a new gate must be maide for it. There's laying boxes to get for the chickens, too, and the inside shed ought to be wlitewatshed. You'll leave all that to te, won't you, Autty '" Miss Burton was fully agreeable to ti:1 a rrangement. Her own hobby about the place was a cherry tree that occupied the center of the garden. "It bore for the first time lust year," a neighbors tell me," she said to Myra. "Tltere was only a little fruit then, but this will be a good year for it. All my life I've longed to be able to put up fruit raised by my own hands." So Miss Burton sprayed the tree and watched ie buds grow into little green globes and cleaned a11(1 poll shted some old fruit lars and imadle graut prepara tions for the harvesting of i:er treas ures. Meantime Myra lived in a sort of elyslun of delight. ler forte was mank ing things spick and span and keeping them so.

At the edge of a glade a flitting figure had crossed his range of VIhAon. It was nearly midnight, and the moonlight filtered down in a silvery flood and showed a form girlish, full of natural grace, and a face the out lines of which were perfect. She drew within the shadow of a towering elm tree and stood motionless, her ear bent, her gaze fixc. She made a gesture of keen disap polintment as no one iipeared. Beyond the tree a malin, evidently a worker about the grounds, suddenly 'nme into View. He balted, applied a whistle to his 111) and blew an echoing trill. The girl hurried.

"And stny there, if you are wise," observed the man. "You are trying to play me filse. Be careful-you know the penalty !"

Last year the gross sales of Thrift and War Savings Stamps and Treasury savings Certificates in the fifth dis trict amounted to more than $2,315,000 during the school session, and it is hoped that when the figures are com piled for the 1920-1921 session, an even better record will be shown. Thousands of penny and nickel sav ings books, text leaflets in thrift at'd wall charts for showing the records of savings clubs have been mailed out to schools asking for them. loys and girls are learning to put their money into government savings securities in stead of wasting it, and in order that they may not look upon savings as an end in Itself, and gain a false concep tion of thrift as a form of stinginess, they are encouraged to save for some definite, worth-while object such, for instance, as a college education or business capital. Saving is only a third of the game. however, for the youngsters earn much of the money they save and invest in Thrift and Savings Stamps. Weeding tobacco, running errands, clerking in stores, washing dishes, raising vege tables and live stock are some of the callings in whic' school savings club members engage during summer vaca tions and after school hours, and keen is the rivalry among them. Even the smallest tots are taking an active part in the "arn and Save" anovement, and patriotic teachers who understand the value of thrift as an element of good citizenship are devot ing their time and thought to making it part of their educational work. and are also encouraging the organization of savings clubs by the children them selves. They realize that they are rendering- a real service to the country by teaching sound ecotoinic thought. pactical patriotismi and prosperity. GIVING SPLENDID AID Postnasterr are giving splendid co-operation in the effort to create new capital by increasing the num ber of investors in governinnent savings securities. Approxinnitely 300,000 letters laive been distributed by them since the middle of Feb ruary to patrons of their oices. through post otlice boxes or by means of t. regular carrierta, call ing attention to the fact that the nian who saves even a dolIat (it of his income has to that extent become a capitalist, and to the ab solute safety of government securi ties as invesetments for sucmh say ings.
