THE SCHOOLS AND Til 10 TIMOASUUV The, tremendous effcetive national service that the schools and school children of the country can render is being availed of as fully as possible by the Treasury De partment in its work. In a great number of schools Lib-! erty Loan dubs have been organized, and many bonds also have been purchased by individual pupils. The War- Savings campaign is endeavoring to have a War-Savings club established in every school in the country, and or ganized and individual effort is to be stimulated in every way. .: Secretary McAdoo has said that he would like to see every schoolliouse in the United States an open forum, where patriotism and loyalty are taught, and a center of national service in its community and among its pupils and patrons. The school as a medium to reach the people of the rural districts is of especial value. -o UUGUS SOUTH TO PKOMJCli MORE FOOD l I 111!

Secretary McAdoo, as director general of the railroads, has li&Hned-u'statenien't declaring that the production by ach settion of (he United States of its own food and feed stuff would bo much more economical and won hi effect a great, relief in the transportation problem. '; Ho urges upon the people of the South, especially the farmers, to relieve the strain on the railroads as much as possible during the coining year by producing their own food and feed crops, thus rendering unnecessary tins trans portation of such materials from other parts of the coun try to them. The secretary emphasizes the fact that he does not suggest that t he growing of cotton'should he discouraged, but that the South, in addition to raising all the cotton that it can well cultivate, should grow hay and corn for its stock and produce as much food as possible for his own pi'onle. ; He says, "If the South can feed itself, the effect will be to release from unnecessary service in the South a var number of freight cars and engines and greatly help to win the war." i'; o ; Thrift Is a Habit Thrift is a habit.

Moyet ran away from a boys' school he was attending in England nnd smuggled himself aboard a troop ship sailing for the Dardanelles. He was discovered just after the ship pac ed Gibraltar and was putashore at Marseilles. Here after much difficulty he con vinced the recruiting officer of the Foreign Legion that he was older than he looked and he became n soldier. Young Moyet's first battle was in the Somme on July 4, 1 0 10, when his division stormed Belloy on Snnterre and on which day Alan Seeger, the American "Post of the Legion," was killed., "Small but as brave as a lion," was the reputation Moyet gained among his comrades in his first battle . Ad vancing in the line of the grenade throwers, the most dangerous position in a modern infantry regiment, the American youth and hi3 sergeant, a German - Swiss legionnaire, found themselves alone before they reached the enemy trench. All their comrades had fallen. Throwing grenades as fast as they "could work their arms they reached the enemy position to uind that the Germans had refuged in a deep dugout. Before the second wave of the legion's attacking force swept by, they had thrown grenades into the mouth of the dugout and then, finding a spade in tho trench, caimiy closed the entrance. At least forty Germans perished in a tomb of their own con struction. Outstanding events during young Moyet's seventeenth year, his second year as a fighter, were participation in the capturo of Augerive in Cham pagne during April, 1917, and later the great battle around Verdun frorr August 20 to '0. His ambition is to begin his second lap in the 4?reat war with the American army. r 1 XTRAGOOD BUY YOUR w. s. s. STAMPS HERE BOYS!
