Anna M. Case, she has a surprise in store for you. adv SACRIFICE Julian Street in Collier's Weekly. In advertisements and speeches designed to persuade Americans to purchase Liberty Bonds or War Savings Stamps, or to perform other duties the nonperformance of which is a disgrace, I have more than once noticed a form of appeal which, whenever I encounter it, strikes me anew as constituting one of the world's great tragi-comic jokes. It is the kind of appeal which says, in effect: "Our boys in the trenches are doing their bit to make the world safe for democracy and home safe for you and yours.

It is therefore up to you, who stay behind, to do your bit: namely, to purchase Liberty Bonds or War Savings Stamps." Their bit! What is this "bit" that 'our boys are doing over there? They have given up everything mothers, wives, children, sweethearts, homes, jobs torn themselves up by the roots, braved the submarines, gone into trenches swimming in mud, alive with rats and lice, and subject to a ceaseless hellfire bullets, gas, flame, shells, shrapnel, air bombs, hand grenads, every devilish force A "HOME COMING" AFFAIR rim The approaching state Suuday in the home passed away. Her sweet patient disposition during all her illness was much in evidence. She was always thoughtful of those caring for her and seemed to think they were doing too much for her. She never complained and when asked how she felt she always made the cheerful reply "Oh I'm alright." Beside her parents and brother Forest, there are grand parents, uncles, aunts, cousins and many friends who mourn her departure. As the little form lay still in the white casket among the great bank of flowers loving friends had given along the west side of lots 1 (one) to 25 (twenty-five) inclusive; Block 1 (one) Investment addition and Lots 1 (one) 2 (two) and 3 (three) Lyon addition connecting with street crossing on First street thence west along the South Side of Lot 6 (Six) Block 1 (one)' Original Plat connecting with Alley Crossing on Allan Street.

All creditors and all other interested in aforesaid estate, are hereby notified that I have filed a report of my administration of said estate in the Probate Court of McPherson County, Kansas, and that I intend to make a full and final settlement of the business of said estate on the 1st that, by so doing, we may render a service approximating that being ren dered by our fighting men. The great tragi-comic joke again! Is a plan by which you invest your small savings with the United States Government. You do it by buying War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps. A War Savings Stamp cost $4.12 in January, and to this price is added one cent for each month since January. The one cent advance each month is to aU low for interest the stamp earns.

These stamps as bought are pastecL in a War Savings Certificate, which is a folder with 20 spaces for the Stamps. When these 20 spaces are filled put1 the Certificate away; it is worth $100, payable Jan. 1, 1923. Then start another. A United States Thrift Stamp is for investors who want to save but find the War Savings Stamp more than they can spare at one time.

The U. S. Thrift Stamp costs 25 cents; you get a Thrift Card from the postorEce or bank, or other authorized agency; no charge for the card. There are 16 spaces on this Card; a place for each 25-cent Thrift Stamp you buy. Sixteen of them make $4.

When the card is full, take it to the postofrice, or bank, or other agency and get a War Savings Stamp; you'll pay the difference, 12 cents for January and one cent more each month during 1918. Paste the War Savings Stamp on the Certificate Card you get with it, and start a new 25-cent Thrift The U. S. Thrift Stamps do not bear interest; the War Savings Stamps do 4 per cent, compounded every three months. The interest is in the convenient form of a monthly increase in the face value of the Stamps.

The Stamps are redeemable at their full value, $5, on January 4st, 1923. If you need to draw out the-money you have saved (don't do it if you don't have to) go to the postofrice and they will tell you what to do, and what the exact value of your investment is on that date, and give you the money.
