1. Say for your country's sake,
because it is now spending millions a
day, and must find most of the
money out of savings.

caus work and wag are plentiful
and, while price are high now, a
dollar will bny more after tb war.
8. Save, because, when you
spend, you make other people work
for you,' and the work of everyone
. is needed now to win the war. .
. Save, because, by saving you
make things cheaper for everyone.

SELF SACRIFICE
Dr. George Sherwood Eddy, a T.
JH. C A. war work secretary, speak
teg of the spirit of the men in the
trenches "over there," tells ' this
story:
"Up in the front line trenches a
shell fell. In an instant 20 men
were doomed to death or mangling,
when quick as a flash, quick as
thought, a man, a former football
player, threw himself on th shell,
and gathered to himself a hundred
deaths.
'.!-'-
"There was a report and when
they picked up what was left of
him, . twenty-two wounds blown
through one leg, thirteen through
the other, yet nineteen men were
without a scratch or bruise because
one man cave himself for them. '
; "That is the spirit of the men
over there. Have w that same spir
it at home? It is that spirit that
will win the war and make the
world aafe' for democracy."
If Daniel had a dream and the
world has been racking Us brains
about It ever since, what did Rus
sia have to do with it? Some of the

all about it. Is H a toast, a dragon,

"I admitted thst I was preparing

" 'I hope you will return soon.
Things will he alt over In a little
while. Germany will have won.'
"Then he gave me a bit of cau
tion. 'The statements made In Am-'

'Up to the present time our I'-boat
have been so successful In sinking
