Yu are asked t spend wisely to buy

Bonds .Are Not
A Burden, But
A Blessing
Thrift requires the ex

qualities without which you .cannot achieve the success in
life which it is .your ambition to achieve and for the lack of
which you are likely to suffer in later years.
Trm monty you acquit by thrift you af atkod to

Sergeant Ooodrlch of the Canadian
volunteers was Introduced to his audi.
enco at Fort Klamath last night.
Sergeant Goodrich, uho for three
years at the front, has been looking
forward to his trip home to Canada,
left, after being there Just a few
day, In order that liu might come
down here and continue to do his
share for the cause of Liberty. At
the present tlmo the Sergeant should
be resting, as at times he suffers from
shell shock. However, altlio, as he
admitted, he would almost rather get
down In the drat trenches than face
an audience, he docs It o that "I
mayshelp you, not only to go over
tbe top but to take the three tront
lines of trenches."
