WISELY FEATHERED NESTS SOLVING WAR PROBLEMS TAUGHT PEOPLE THRIFT Country Urged to Keep Benefits Gained Through Lesson of Sav ing Learned Last Year. Fellowship in the fastest growing' society in the United States is open to everybody. In every state in the union it is gaining members daily, since it is a society in which the good of the country is served as well as that of the individual. From all walks of life its millions pf ever increasing members come. No one can be a member and keep the pledge he takes without receiving lasting benefits and aiding the United States of America to maintain the proud place k has already attained? the peer of any nation that has ever existed. When the trqpsury department of the United States began the attempt to solve the financial problems that be set the country as it was entering the war, the United States was a debtor nation. Only on understanding that it is the greatest creditor nation in the world today can one' realize what an achievement has been won. With out a direct tax on the people money has been raised to pay for the suc cessful termination of the war. and this cost more than $30.000,000.000. Beside this enormous amount of money there is now more money in the banks than before. I This, of course, waj done through the Liberty Loans, principally. But these loans have ceased, and those nt the head of the nation's finances are 1 seeking to clinch the lesson already learned, and are urging the perma nent establishment of War Savings Societies. The Treasury Department is doing | s service for the small investor In ac cepting so small an amount as twenty five cents and giving the same securi ty that the holder of a $10,000 Liberty Bond enjoys?the entire resources of ths United Siatss of America.

SAID EVERY SOLDIER KEPT TRENCH SHOVEL Engineer After Viewing BattlefleJd Makes Interesting Commentary ?Could Find Everything But One Trophy Ha Wanted. An eminent engineer recently re turned to Washington after traversing on government business much of the western front. He went over the bat* tie area before the army salvage corp* had removed the signs of conflict. ? "I saw pretty nearly everything there," he said. "Lota of %lfles. btryo fn^ta, machine guns, helmdts. soldiers' packs, water bottles, and even hand kerchiefs and socks all over the ground. "I didn't want any of them. Be cause I'm an engineer. I'd set my heart on a trench shovel. I'd seen thousands of them back of the lines, but 1 wanted one from the battlefield. I looked and looked, without finding one lying around loose. Wherever there was a shovel.'the man who'd used it was lying beside it. "Then I understood. The soldier, dislodged from a position, might loose his 5%ck. his extra clothing, even his rifle, in his escape, but he nerer let go ^iis shovel. "He knew he had to have it, to dig himself in again." War Savings Stamps are trench shovels for digging In against adver* sifcy. CARRY ON! Uncle Sam is releasing from his. service the men who went "or?r ther?" to free the world from au fcraoy.
