Took Him Out of the Mud.

1 "It was the first time I ever felt like a hero,” an Indianapolis man told of-, ficials' at the Marion county war savings organization offices.. “My little girt caused me a lot of worry one night by crying out a number. of times, Take him out of the mud? In the morning I made inquiries and then accompanied her to her school. There I found her teacher had rigged up a dummy soldier in an imitation trench filled with mudj As the sales of Thrift stamps by the children increased the soldier was raised gradually out of the*mud onto a ladder leading ‘over the top.’ According ,to the plan sales amounting to >175 remained to be made before the soldier was out of the mufl. My little girl begged me to take'hlm out, and I yielded, buying the- required number of stamps. As that roomful of youngsters stood and cheered me I felt like a real hero.”— Indianapolis News.
