Here is New Way

NOW I CAN SAVE TO HELP WIN THE WAR. America is called on to provide considerable funds to help win the war. II possible It must be done without Injury to trade or commerce. There is but one way to raise these funds, the nation roust sate. Every nation muat practice economy and self-denial for thrift wMl mean triumph. I can help win the war by observing wheatless, meatless, porkless days. I can also buy thrift and war savings stamps. The main reason for doing this is because our country is at war. Our country needs every cent that it can get to fed, clothe, and furnish our soldiers with equipment. If we wish to win tne war we must win It as a united nation. Our conntry wishes to have every cent that every individual can lend, Sixteen thrift stamps are required before one gets a War Savings Stamp. I. Aubil.

COAL. The heavy black mineral we use for stoves and" furnaces and boilers was formed many years ago. Most of it was formed thousands of years ago. Coal is found down deep in the miaes. It is black, hard and is used for heating purposes. The different kinds of coal are anthracite and bard. Anthracite is used for heating and hard for gas our best friend. The coal gives a good light on dark nights. We could hardly live if we had no coal. Joseph Hilterman. THE DISOBEDIENT MAID.

He called the police. Mrs. Brown cried and cried and said that she would never get to see her baby any more. The poliee got to the gypsy camp in time to see the old woman put the child in a wagon. They were driven out of town. The maid never disobeyed again. Ocia Kcssler. THE CATS. When .1 lived in the country I was about six years old. One night about seven o'clock ' I heard some cats crying. Papa went to the door to see what was the matter. The cats were across the road. Mama got some milk in a dish and papa called them and gave them the milk. It was a cat and two kittens. One was blue and the other was black and white. I took the one that was black and white. My sister took the blue one. It ran away. HOW I EARNED MONEY FOR THRIFT STAMPS. I wanted to earn some money for thrift stamps. I asked father for a dime so that I could buy some pa' pore and then setl them. He gave it to me. I bought the papers and sold them. I did this every night and made a good bit of money. I beat rugs for mother at housecleaning time and she gave me fifty cents. I bought two thrift stamps with that money. Edgar Moon. GIRL BAKES CAKE. One day mother was sick. I had to do tbe house work. It didn't take me very long to do it. so I wanted to try to bake. Mother said that I could try to bake a cake. She told me Just bow to do it.

We did not drive very fast until we were past Knightstown. When we were about ten miles beyond there my cousin Gpeeded up a bit. Then we had a blo.w out. As we carried an inner tube it only took a short timo to remove the tire and insert the new tube. We went on a little farther and stopped at a farm house for water. We got the water and bought eome apples and Borne butter milk of the farmer. When we went to start the machine it would not go. There was something wrong with the engine. The farmer helped my cousin fix it and in about an hour we were on our way. Wi had no more trouble with tho machine and so were soon in Indianapolis. Maurice Browne. PETER HELP8 HIS MOTHER.

Being very tired he laid down on the steps and was son fast asleep. In ' a few hours he was awakened by a light touch on the shoulder. Upon looking up he saw a kind-faced man, the rector of the church. The pastor took Peter to his home and there ho heard Peter's story.
