We have won tbe war, and the cost is small compared with what haa been won. Tbla last call la truly a Victory Loan. What greater pride can men. and women experience than in contribut ing to It? A Victory Bond will be worth more than Its price expressed In dollars. Every one will be a badge testifying that the holder has- helped hit; icpuntry. to , fulfill Its pledge to those who have been spared as well as those who bave made the supreme sacrifice. At the Joint conference of the Men's and Women's Committees called by Mr. James K. Lynch of the Federal Reserve" Bank of the Twelfth District. It waa decided that In the campaign for tbe Victory Liberty Loan, tbe men and women . should coordinate their work. With this in view 1 appeal to all women mumbera and workers who have ao earnestly and steadfastly labored in the past, to give their un dlvldod time and efforts when called upon, as they will be shortly, to Join with the men in making this last Lib erty Loan an overwhelming success. I have every confidence In the out come of the Victory- Loan, 'especially with the help which will come from the united efforta of the men and women workers' ot the Twelfth Federal Reserve District 1 ' Tbe United States government In Its hour of need baa turned back to tbe homely philosophy of Benjamin Frank lin aBd bas honored "Poor Richard" In a way that be, himself, would have liked best.

Nineteen eighteen stamps may be exchanged tor tbe new War Saving Stamps. No new thrift cord i necessary. Besides bearing tbe likeness ot Franklin, ,tbe 1919 War Savings Stamps differ from last year's Stamps in "Site, being somewhat smaller and ' Mttiuiinanttw m,iM Ann vanlftnt Thpf are blue In color. Tbe new Stamps bear tbe same in terest and cost the same, $4.12 in Jan uary and one cent additional each month, aa the 1918 War Savings Stamps. The interest Is 4 per cent compounded quarterly.

The secretary of tbe treasury bas s pretty good opportunity to form an opinion - of financial tendencies. He saya: - Every dollar aaved now and In vested in Liberty Bends or War Savings Stamps will be worth much more when peace readjust ment comes. Every provident man and woman In the United States may find their savings double in purchasing power In the next few years.

American bluejacket undoubtedly were saved - from death because the American warships, while proceeding through the mine-strewn seas, were equipped with paravanes, through courtesy of the British admi ralty. . Fitted with paravanes, the warships ahed out any mines ahead qf the vessels. Novices often mistook the ap paratus for torpedoes. The thing made a humming sound when adjusted to a speeding ship, owing to friction. The paravane consists .of a water plane shaped like a torpedo, having a-pair of large flat fins projecting on either side of Its body. The tall Is fitted with rudders to keep' the thing 'at any set depth. It Is towed over side by a wire rope which runs from ;the ship's bows outward. The wire rope Is intended to pick up the moor ing ropes of mines and slide them - along till they reach the nose of the paravanes, where a sharp saw Is fixed Inside a V-shaped slot The saw cuts through the mooring rope and allows the mine to float -free, where It can be either avoided or destroyed, - i Due to the cable and fin arrange- I ment the twin paravanes kept dlagon- I ally ahead ot the vessel.
