SHOWED DRIVING POWER
The men of the I. & G. N. shops
demonstrated in the Y. M. C. A. mem-
bership campaign, just closed, that
they are solicitors of a high order
and know how to get results. They
broke all former records in securing
members for the local Y., and their
performance does them credit And
we have an‘idea that this same force
can be of material benefit in helping
to put across other good things for
their town and country. The Herald
would like to secure their full co-
operation in raising the Christmas
charity fund,- to guarantee a visit
from Santa Glaus to the poor chil-
dren of the town. With the shop men

The Herald gives the news some

other newspaper circulating in Pales- i to lend the government $5, paying 25
$50 to buy a bond. And there are
many others, who could not afford to
lend the government that much money
no matter how sincerely he desired to
help win this war.

“Let there be n$> misunderstanding.
Our present and immediate purpose is
to win the war, and nothing shall
turn aside from it until it is accom-
plished. Every power and resource
we possess, whether of men, of mon-
ey, or of materials, is being devoted
and will continue to be devoted to
that purpose until it is achieved.”
These are the words of President
Wilson. Do you agree with them?
asks the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Is it our present and immediate pur-
pose to win this war? That means
all to us. It means the 100,000.000 peo-
ple who make up this nation, and not
merely the few millions who are to do
the fighting. It means you. Is it true
that everything that you can do to
win this war will be done, and that
nothing will turn you from doing it?
Be you man. woman or child—this
question should come home directly
to you. Be you rich or poor, it should
mean you none the less. This war is
the people’s war. It is your war, and
you should be able to answer the
above questions in an emphatic af-
firmative.
“But what can I do?” you may ask.
Well, here's something all of us can
do, no matter how young or old, no
matter how poor: We can help pay
for this war.
When France was invaded by the
kaiser's army in 1914 more than half
of the people of that country—more
than half of the men, women and
children of France—had loaned money
to their government. They owned
the government's bonds. There were
21.000,000 people out of a population
of 40.000,000 who had a direct inter-
est in their government. Today tlio
number is much larger. When Ainei-
ica entered the war the bonds of the
nation were owned by one-third of
one per cent of.the population. That
is, less than 400,000 people, out of a
total population of more than 100,000,-
000 had loaned the government
money. How many of those were in
Texas, in Tarrant county, or in Fort
Worth, we do not know. But they
were not many. After two Idberty
bor.d issues the situation is a little
cents at a time? If you were permit-
ted to pay for it as you could raise
the money, could you afford to lend
the government $^00? ^
The government wants “every]
to help win this war. It wants you to
help, even if you are only a boy or
girl going to school. It wants one
person in every family in Tarrant
county—one person in every family
in Texas—one person in every family
in the United States to help*. Who’s
going to be the one in your family to
help?
If yOu are willing to help, you must
enlist in the war thrift campaign as
soon as you can. You can start with
a quarter. No matter how little or
how much you can save for this pur-
pose. the government will be glad to
receive your help. And it will pay
you a big interest on what you save.
Aside from the duty of helping win
the war, you ought to be saving some-
thing anyhow. But here is a chance
to save and help win the war at the
same time. If you are a school boy
\
or girl ask your teacher about it. If
you are a father or mother, tell your
children about it. If you are just a
struggling, striving man or woman
like the most of us, look up-the near-
est place that the thrift stamps are
sold and buy one immediately. And
start as soon as you possibly can.
The demand for farming lands in
this county is going to bring about
the clearing up of many additional
acres. The question of labor is re-
tarding the work, but the labor will
be found sooner or later and the tim-
ber lands will be converted into

Like a Day’s Work
Chemical Co. Foreman Says He Has
Taken New Lease on Life.
Anderson county lands continue to
turn over, and new people are com-
ing in to build homes and begin farm-
ing operations. The word has gone
forth that this is one of the most pro-*
“Tanlac has simply given me a
lew"' lease on life,” said O. A, Cook,
who lives at Harrisburg, Texas, an 1
w foreman for the Fidelity Chemical
Company, while in Kiesling’s Drug
Store Houston, recently.
“Before I commenced taking it.”
he continued, “I was so run-down
and miserable a half hour job would
tire me as much as a whole day’s
work does now. My legs were weak
dnd pained me, often suffered with
backache and indigestion • and my
nerves were so unstrung that I was
irritable and out of sorts all the time.
I would get up in the mornings feel-
ing as tired and worn-out as if I
hadn’t gone to bed and my work was
an actual punishment to me.
“I had reached the point where it
was necessary for me to do some-
thing for myself and I bought Tanlac
because I know how it helped my
mother over in Georgia. I now sleep
sound, eat hearty and can do a hard
day’s work without feeling it. My
legs and back don’t hurt me like they
't
did and everything I have to do is a
pleasure instead of a burden as it
was before. I recommend Tanlac to
everybody with those miserable,

SUGGESTIONS
Here are a few items that make acceptable Christ4fcs presents
