Here’s to our boys so brave and true,
Who are going to fight for me and you,
And with our allies over-there
Help win the war and win it fair.
They’ll show the Kaiser he is wrong,
That might’s NOT right, ’tho might is strong.
He can’t impel us people with sense
So follow his law at our expense.
The Kaiser has made a broad mistake.
His nation was honored, his men were great.
From them indeed grand physician sprang,
From all the world praises rang
For Germany’s science and scholarl men.
From them sublime musicians came.
Yes, Germany’s people were great.
We looked at our Brother Nation with pride,
We placed him by our intelligent side.
But despotism we cannot endure,
Our wisdom tells us it is not pure.
The PEOPLE MUST RULE, that ONLY IS JUST,
ALL THE PEOPLE of the world should rule and MUST,
To have enduring peace, and that is what we need,
And we are going to get—I bid our boys God-speed.
The Kaiser has spoiled his reputation,
We supposed his world was of civilization,
But FREEDOM is RIGHT and Liberty’ll be might;
Three cheers for amalgamation! *
Here’s to our boys so brave and true,
Who’ll help win the war for me, for you.
They with the allies will free the world,
They’ll show the Kaiser the people will rule.
Our boys are brave, yes brave and Yah!
They’ll help free the world, HURRAH! HURRAH!

Tuesday the situation looked a
little squally, but since the weath-
er has moderated and the sever-
al industries have received sup-
plies of lignite, there is no need
for anxiety, as all can get a sup-
ply of fuel, such as it is.
also as President Wilson has said,
“Is intended to correct our unpardon-
able habits of waste and extrava-
gance.’’ The great thing to be ac-
complished. is to preach thrift from
every pulpit, teach' it in every school
and practice it in the home. This is
war work in which all may join; it
not only helps win the war which
saves our children from autocracy
but it saves them from poverty as
well.

The fuel situation in White-
wright is as good as at any other
place and better than at some
places. Therefore, there is not
much room to grumble, unless it
be at ourselves for not having
laid in a sufficient supply of coal
last summer when the dealers
were trying to persuade us to.
Anyway, all local needs would
have been temporairily supplied
had not a large portion of the
last car of coal received been un-

Washington, Jan. 22.—With a
renewed appeal to American
housewives for food conservation,
the Food Administration will
issue probably this week a new
food card for the one meatless
day, two porkless days and two
wheatless days each week.
Food Administration officials
said there would be nothing com-
pulsory about it for households,
although it is sought by a bill
pending to make the days of
denial mandatory for hotels,
restaurants and other public eat-
ing places.
“The United States Government is
selling $5.00 War Savings Stamps at
$4.12 in January, $4.13 in February,
raising the price one cent per month
throughout the year,” said Louis Lip-
sitz, State Director of the War Sav-
ings Committee, “and I want to im-
press the fact that a $5.00 bill today
will not buy as much or as many of
the pleasures of life for which we
save money as will a War Savings
Stamp when it matures January 1st,
1923. The war cannot he fought with
paper money; we cannot wad up a
$5.00 bill and shoot it at the Kaiser
and do any damage; that bill is
merely a demand for wheat, or wool,
or gasoline, or some other material
A. J. Badgett, R. F. i. which our Government actually needs
to successfully win the war, so the
wise thing for us to do is not to
spend money nowr but loan it to our
Government, get 4% interest com-
pounded quarterly for it, and then
five years from now, the Government
will cash the stamp and we will have
the money to spend—then it will buy
more of the things which we want
than it will today so that we can
spend later. It is not only good sense
but it is patriotic as well to buy War
Savings Stamps.”

R. H. Alexander, County Chairman
for Coleman County on War Savings
work, has put in practice a new
scheme to interest school children on
the subject of War Savings Stamps.
Mr. Louis Lipsitz, State Director,
says: “I endorse Mr. Alexander’s
idea and suggest that in every school
a picture of the Kaiser be drawn and
put up in the school room. Every
child who buys a 25-cent Thrift
Stamp is entitled to stick a pin in
the Kaiser’s picture and this will be
a demonstration of the activity of
school children in blotting out Kais-
erism and autocracy and showing in
a graphic way that the 25-cent piece
saved and loaned to the Government
in the purchase of a Thrift Stamp
is going to help to save the child
from autocracy and poverty.”
This is the new slogan of the War
Savings Committee engaged in sell-
ing $91,000,000 of War Savings
Stamps in Texas. The Federal Gov-
ernment wants every man, woman
and child to save and invest their
savings in stamps. These stamps ma-
ture January 1st, 1923, and earn an
interest rate of 4% compounded
quarterly. This is not only the best
investment possible in war times, but

In Amarillo, each boy1 who pledges
himself to buy Thrift Stamps, re-
ceives a poster to hang up in his
window, reading, "Thrift boy here, I
am working for Uncle Sam,”—then
he gets a card signed by Mr. Mayer,
Chairman of the Potter County Divi-
sion which shows he is a member of
the army of boys in Amarillo who
are ready and anxious to work; who
need everything they can get to do
and who have promised to save that
money for Uncle Sam.
Abe Sobel, a twelve-year-old news-
boy at Beaumont, Tex., won the $5.00
prize offered by County Chairman
Jas. F. Weed, in the Thrift Contest
there last week. In five days he
earned $3.79. The only requirement
stipulated in Mr. Weed's prize who
won must earn the money and sub-
mit a statement showing how he
earned it. Abe was the first boy to
turn in his results, and as a conse-
quence, he now owns two Govern-
ment securities that in 1923 will be
worth $10.00.

The working people of Great Bri-
tain are doing their utmost to help
win the war by denying themselves
every luxury and loaning the money
saved to their Government. The Eng-
lish plan of War Savings Stamps is
very much like ours. In the past
eighteen months the English people
have not only bought $650,000,000
worth of stamps, but the new spirit
of thrift has caused savings bank
deposits to increase over 100%.
There are great signs up all over
England, reading, “It is not good
form to dress extravagantly,” and a
woman or man who appears on the
street whose dress indicates extrava-
gance, is not only subject to criti-
cism, but in many cases have been
attacked and beaten.
