ST. HELENS MIST, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 1518 PUT COUNTY FARM TO SOME USE Taayer Huya rami Kliould lt H.f riUiMirtiilK. To the Kdllor of the Mint: Vour article In regard to the coun ty farm In your Inhiio of February 16 I think voiced the aentlmenta of 75 per cent of the taxpayers of Colum bia county. There la no reuaon why the county furm could not take care of all the poor In the county, with very llttlo oxpuiiho cbove the aalarv of the man and wife taking charge J Any ImprovemeiitH that would bo mado to the bulldlnga would bo mak ing the farm Juat that much more valuable. There la no reaaon why we could not take live stock and farm produce to the atate fair and bring back blue rlbhona, which would be aa good an advertlHemeut aa anythnlR we could do to ahow the value of Columbia county aa a farming country. The writer of thla ad haa In mind a coun ty farm In Michigan of 320 acres. Tlie hoiiHO lind about 40 rooma, with hot and cold wuter In each room, and modern In every way. It lia.l two largo bnrna', and aeveral other liuildingH for hoga and chickena. Thla farm kept the poor and paid tha running exponaea of the farm. I firmly believe if Columbia county would expend one-half the money on tho county furm that we are now pay ing to maintain the poor In hoapltula and other places that In five years time we could have aa nicely equip ped a farm aa there la In the stain, und at the aame time the poor would bo more comfortably taken care of than they are now. And I'll bet forcy big apples agalniit a ateamhoat that there Is not one taxpayer in the county that would take a atranger pant our farm (at the present time) and say with any degree of pride, "Tliot'a our county farm." ANOTHER TAXPAYER. Help yourself to tho potatoea! Eat Ins mora every day. Patronize Your Home Bakery Everything is Reasonable in Price and the Best One Can Buy in Baked Goods ST. HELENS BAKERY The Gospel of Labor and Materials All the dollars in the world could not buy victory. Because victory is not purchasable we must work for it and, if .need be, die for it. Dollars can work for vic tory only in so far as they are converted into labor and materials. A dollar hoarded is a slacker; a dollar wasted is a traitor; a dollar saved Is a patriot. For a hoarded dollar represents idle power; a wasted dollar represents wasted power; a dollar invested in the United States Government represents power saved, labor saved, ma terials saved it represents power, labor and materials in action, on the firing line, over the top. And more it represents reserve power, energy stored, purchasing power conserved for its owner to use later on. Buy War Savings Stamps. You can buy a United State Thrift Stamp for 25 cents.

"I'liniiiiiiiHiiuiii C m m W T 7T otate units now irainins Within Sound of Enemy Guns" A cablegram from France, publication of which was recently authorized, contains the following information: Part of the National Guard has arrived in France and is undergoing intensive training behind first line trenches within the sound of the guns at the front. This Brings the War Home to YOU In a short time these gallant young men, whose parents, brothers and sisters, wives and sweethearts are your .own neighbors, will be IN the front line trenches, under the murderous fire of enemy artillery, and going "over the top" to meet the sweeping hail of the machine guns and the bayonets of the Huns. If these soldier boys YOUR soldier boys were three miles away instead of three thousand, you would bend every energy, exhaust every resource, make every sacrifice, to make sure that they were fed, clothed, armed and equipped as no sojdiers ever were before. Is your duty any less imperative, any less sacred, because it is your neighbor's boy who is defending your country, your flag and your home from German frightfulness on the other side of tht ocean? . Is it not a splendid privilege as well as a duty to deny yourself luxuries, to save food, save clothing, above all to save money, for our soldiers? I U. S, Thrift Stamps Save Lives and Shorten the War , There is one thing you can do, every day, to help the Government provide the guns, ammunition, food, clothing and other supplies which our soldiers and sailors MUST HAVE to win the war, win it quickly, and come safely home again. Go today to any bank, any postoffke, or any store where you see the W. S. S. (War Savings Stamps) sign displayed. For 25 cents you will receive a U.- S. Thrift Stamp and a card to paste it on. The, card has spaces for 16 stamps, costing you $4. When it is full, exchange it with a few cents additional in cash for a War Savings Stamp, for which the Government will pay $5 January 1, 1923. These War Savings Stamps are as safe as U. S. Bonds. They are the safest investment in the world because they are backed by the entire resources of the country, and the profit you make on them amounts to four per cent interest, compounded quar terly, if held till January 1, 1923. Buy a U. S. Thrift Stamp with every quarter you can possibly save. Every stamp helps to stamp out autocracy. Every stamp saves priceless American blood. Every 6tamp is a blow for Liberty. Every stamp will help bring peace to the world a perma- ; nent peace, grounded in justice and righteousness. WS.S.
