What is Your Answer?
Are you a member of a
War Savings Society? If you
are not, nuw are you going
to explain it March 15?
Have the teachers in your
schools organized War Sav-
ing Societies among the
pupils? If they have not
vour children are being neg-
lected.
Does your grocer sell War
Savings Stamps and Thrift
Stamps and what about the
other stores? All patriotic
stores are Government
stamp sales agents.
Are the Sunday schools in
your town organized into
War Savings Societies? Else-
where they are..
Are you helping to win the
war by savinjc? Every quar-
ter buys five cartridges for a
soldier.
One person out of ten now
owns a Government bond.
Which are you: No. 1 or one
of the nine? A War Savings
Stamp is a Government
bond.
There are just two kinds
of people in this country:
Americans, who save and
lend their money to the Gov-
ernment at four per cent In-
terest; and slackers, who
waste and will not help the
Government. Which are you?
Do you know that you are
not giving away a cent when
you buy War Savings
Stamps? You are lending it
to the Government and it is
paying you for the use of it.
Do you know that you
mn't lone if you lend your
money to the Government?
Hut you may lose if you
don't.

as the early Victorians were
different from the early Geor-
gians, and the early Georgians
from the Eli/abethians. It is
only the dead languages which
remain susceptible to rigid form-
ulas the old, cold Latin and the
pale prim Greek. To spend
years in acquiring familiarity
with Utin and Greek is about as
valuable to the man who expects
to write English as would be a
course in ancient cemeteries for
a person who wishes to build
ships. Scholastic pride, bleak
and barren, lies at the bottom of
the Greek and Utin cult. The
assessed kinship between the
living Engl sh language and the
dead and gone ancient languages
is about as close and sympathetic
as the memory of the present
Mississippians for the Indians
who named the big river. Per-
fect English, if S. P. may be so
cold as to say so. is English
which leaves no particle of doubt
as to its meaning. Do you get

few cents every week during
the year will make this a real-

carry on the war—by taxation
and by selling Iwnds that pay

Money spent for taxes pays
a just debt, but tlfc money

accomplishes the purpose of
the taxes and it comes back to
