APPEAL TO CHILDHEX TO MAKE
AMERICA XATIOX OF THRIFT .
Special appeal is being made to
the cchool children of Oregon, now
released from their school-room du
ties, to hake the most of their vaca
tion time, not only in play and re
laxation, but in thrifty effort to earn
and save 'during part of their holi
day.day. Wor'k for boys and girls in
the fields and the orchards and about
home will be more beneficial than
complete idleness, and there will be
few but who will seek and find op
portunity to earn money now that
their school books have been put
aside for the next two or three
months.
The government in furthering the
War Saving Stamps campaign at this
time is doing so, not so much for the
purpose of raising money for gov
ernmental purposes as to the end of
inculcating habits of thrift in every
person, that they may become better
citizens and that the United States
may maintain in peoce times the re
cord of thrift it developed druing the
war.
In this connection a recent mes
sage to school children by Carter
Glass .Secretary of the Treasury, is
pertinent:
"I summon you to solve one of
America's greatest financial prob
lems: How to make permanent
among our people the habits of thrift
begun during the war. Your invest-
ments in War Savings Stamps helped
win the war. The victory has been
won. Let us carry over into peace
time two of the great lessons of the
war the value of thrift and the fact
that good citizenship and interest in
your governmeni come irom imiuS
a part in financing it. To you I in-
trust the responsibility for making
the future America a nation of thrift.
If you have a little money no one
can bully you. If you have none, you 1
are more or less helpless and dare
not speak up for your rights. It is
not agreeable to be at any one's nier-1
cy. If there were no other motive for !
saving, t!he wish to escape from such
a situation ought ot be sufficient. '
Cncle Sam offers a most attractive
saving and investment proposition j
for all who would be Independent in
every sense of the word. He Is selling
thrift stamps at 25 cents each, and .
war savings stamps at $4.17 each
this month. Thrift stamps are In
tended to take care of the pennies, 1
nickels and dimes and quarters, that
otherwise might be spent foolishly, j
Thrift stamps can be converted Into
war savings stamps on which the
government pays four per cent In-j
terest compounded quarterly. As an
investment for the wage earner this
proposition can't be beaten, and it
Is prlmarly for the wage earner the
offer is made. Your banker will tell
you so.

TREES ' FOR THE ROADSIDE
Western Journal Advocates the Plant
ing of App'e and Various Other
Kinds of Fruits.
The example of a Minnesota village
which is pluming rows of apple trees
along Its roadsides instead of the more
conventional Lombnrdy poplars, Nor
way maples, box elders and white elms,
Is capable of adaption to almost every
American community. The practice,
like a good mnnv others which now
commend themselves to fnvor, Is the
result of Individual initiative. About
20 years ago, it seems, a retired min
ister Introduced fruit trees to the road
way running through his own pruperty.
The school district, seeing their value,
has now arranged for planting 250
more apple trees of an approved va
riety and has committed itself to care
foi them. These are theoretically the
property of the lot owner, but it is a
safe guess that the public will harvest
a good deal of the crop.
It Is nevertheless a pleasing custom,
and one which is uot likely to inter
fere seriously with the commercial side
of fruit growing. The spring months
must be particularly beautiful In this
part of Minnesota, to sny nothing of
the annually recurring harvest festival
every autumn. One would not begrudge

HAD HIS DESIRE REALIZED
Clemenceau Wanted to Come Into Con
tact With the Private Soldier,
and He Did!
On one occasion when Premier
Clemenceau visited the French army
at the front, says a contributor to
Je Sais Tout, the general who was his
host Migsesied a sightseeing trip, hut
the premier declined the invitation.
"General," lie said, "I did not come
here as a tourist; I have only one
purpose, and that is to come into di
rect personal contact with the private
soldier. I wish to see hiui as he faces
the enemy."
"In this sector," was the reply, "It
!s easy to do that. At post 8 there
are only four meters between the
poilu and his adversary."
"Very well," said Clemenceau. "I
wish to go to post 8."
Complete silence reigned in the'
trenches where the soldiers stood, gun
in mum, ready to go "over the top.
Their faces were tired and deeply
lined; in them were the traces of
suffering ami of anger. These men
asked no favors, but 'they forgave
nothing. In their eyes shone a de
termined resolution to win, and then
to punish. When th'e party reached
the covered passage leading to post 8,
the guide told M. Clemenceau that for
the remaining distance he would have
to crawl upon his stomach, and in
that fashion the premier advanced
until he met a sentry. There for an
Instant he forgot that he was not in
the tribune of the senate and, speak
ing loudly, said:
"Well, my friend, what "
A hard slap cut the sentence short,
i "Shut up!" hissed the sentry. "Can't
you hear that Roche coughing?"
The soldier never doubted that his
blow had saved the man who was
destined to lead France to victory.
He had treated M. Clemenceau like a
comrade. The premier had been near

CAN WIN DESPITE HANDICAP
Wounded Soldiers Not "Out" In the
Battle of Life and Do Not Ask
to Be Coddled.
"I have found that you do not need
hands and feet, but you do need cour

the game like a thoroughbred," said
Michael Howling at the International
conference on reconstruction.
"You fellows know how It Is In a
handicap race. A handicap Is put on
the horse that has proved himself, so
that he may not beat the others too
easily. Hut the horse with the liandl-
cap Is the one to bet on.
"You fellows are handicapped, hut
we kno'.v you can win the fight. You
