Roads and bridges
Total
The levy for school purposes in

same as last year, Neither was any

A few days ago a Jew here in
the city called me into his store,
sayinc that he wished me to
write an important letter for him
In his broken English he told mo
what it was all about: "There
are four person here in the
store who are not l'able to mili
tary service. 1 want you to writo
to the government, asking that
it advise me of a war in which I
may do sometning for tho coun
try" was in so many word
what he said.
I interrupted him here: 'The
most practical way for you to
serve is to buy Liberty bonds or
thrift stamos, conserve food, etc.
"But I want to do more. I am
hnvlnir 4r00 worth of stamps
and am tryinu to reduce expenses
by watching the little minus,
was his loply. I must admit that
I was a little opposed to writing
the letter. I saw no necessity for
it. It seemed to me that he was
already doinn no trifling bit to
wards wiimiiin tho war. But he
insisted and I wrote the letter.
This Jew has been in America
only eight years. He began work
in New York at three dollars a
week. His use of tho Kaglish
language is still quite uniutellig-
able to many of hU customers.
liut the soirit of practical patri-
otisn he has shown is not to b J
overlooked. We may read of Mi i
ork of America's adopted son.i
in th.s struggle; but the beauty
of this incident is that he is riirht
here among us. N. G. Gooding,
