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.

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."

Thrift is a habit. Like all-habits, it's easy to ac(uire.
Just buy a Thrift Stamp every day. or every day you can.
and you'll (-non have the habit. Then you'll be lending
your savings to Uncle Sam for the sake of the hoys "over
there." You'll be helping to win the war, and Uncle Sam
will pay you 1 per cent interest, compounded quarterly,
until a time when you'll need it more than he does. Can
you beat that?

more than 200 Americans who have

remain nnd now seek to ire transferred

eighteen, of Mobile, Ala. And he
doesn't look his age.
Two years ago, in November. 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.
