And naturally follows the jjreat dis­covery recently made by The Ameri­can Tobacco Co.—th a t tobacco tastes better TOASTED!

Hun S h ell E xplodes.When the Russian troops under

General Loclnvizky held a sector of the French front in the Champagne they were opposite Auberive, in a very fiat country. T heir first line reserve camp was in a small patch of woods, where the men all lived deep under­ground, for the G erm ans shelled the woods several times; a day. One morning the Russian soldiers were drilling, when the Germans began to shell the woods. The R ussians all rushed to cover in the ir dugouts—th a t is, all except one man rushed to cover, He was standing guard over the dug- out where was kep't the reserve store of hand grenades.

This soldier’s post w as a pace to the left of the entrance to the dugout, but when the shelling began he moved over and stood so th a t his body pro­tected the entrance. A German shell fell nine feet from him, and he pre­sented arm s and w aited for the explo­sion. A piece of the shell tore a hole h r the sleeve ^of his overcoat, but he was unwounded. He remained calmly a t his post, covering the entrance to th e dugout during th,e en tire bombard­ment.

By BEICT TANSEY of The Vigilantes.I do not believe th a t sugar and

w heat a re used to any be tte r purpose In providing “refreshm ents” for social functions than they would be in ordi­nary m eals _for fam ilies.

I do not th ink th a t ice cream is less likely to deplete our resources in a way un fa ir to our soldiers and our al­lies when served by charm ing girls to their' m am m as and the mammas of o ther charm ing girls than if purchased a t the sordid m arts of the ice cream trade, reta il.

L ittle cakes w ith pink icing on them appear to me to be ,as free from all pa­trio tic tra its or even from a n a tu ra l tendency of the hum an race to self- preservation when served in draw ing rooms to women thrilled by bridge or books as when noted through shop windows and taken home in a paper sack. - •

You m ay if you desire give a little d inner to friends w ithout in any way •abusing the righ ts of o thers to food or infringing upon the requests of our governm ent fo r conservation of re ­sources. • This is the w ay the people of the B ritish isles have kep t up a tiny b it of social life. B ut “refresh­m ents” in the middle of the afternoon* to a lot of well-fed w om en! I t is no t right.

M onths ago it w as announced th a t certain organizations of women had agreed to refra in from serving any foods a t th e ir m eetings. This w as her­alded as being patrio tic. I t w as plain, self-preservative common sense of course. B ut i t w as the righ t thing to do.

Yet our club women, women many of them affiliated w ith organizations which stand fo r intelligence and th e b e tte r things of life, seem in m any in­stances not to have followed th is course bu t to be pursuing th e even tenor of th e ir ways before the war, not fo r a few of them once in a while bu t fo r all of them every week.

W e object to patronizing hotels and re s tau ra n ts a t which the food regula­tions. a re ignored, and rightly so. How about the social functions a t which “refreshm ents w ere served” ?

Rich food in the middle of the a fte r­noon for a group of already well-fed w om en! T heir very food cards ought to climb down out of the ir windows in sham e a t such inconsistency.

THE NATIONAL BANK OF STAMFORD N. Y,

N othing delights the French soldiers more than the opportunity to get back to work on the land. Every time they have the slightest chance they begin to dig gardens and cultivate a little patch of ground. W ith the lack of ! food and forage th a t a t present ex­ists in France, the government and the army- chiefs have been quick to take advantage of this love of the soil among the soldiers. All the vacant or reclaimed fields back of the fighting lines are put

they generally do, as the farm work forms a welcome relief from the round of a soldier’s duties.

The reconquered country along the I A isne is one of the most fertile dis­tric ts of France, and it was quickly seized upon for farm ing by the army. There were plenty of hands, as a great army was in reserve in that sec­tion.

These soldiers of France not only fight in the battle lines, but they farm the country,' and they subscribe to the

under cultivation by the army. MeiM»wnr' loans of France. T hat is w hatare detailed from the various corps to work in the fields, and all the men when they go into the reserve are allowed to do their p a rt in the cultivation, if they so desire, which

the fan n ers of America must do. They must not only till the soil, bu t invest their money in the Third Liberty Loan and help, as do the ir brothers in France, to win the war.

(Copyright, 1918, "Western Newspaper Union.)“You and A unt M atilda m ight go out

and a ttend to th e m atter,” Beil sug­gested, “I ’m going to be aw fully busy, and can’t spare th e tim e. Benson, th e agent, says th a t th e house is in good condition and the change to country a ir m ight do you both good. All you will have to do is to look over carefully th e applicants who come in response to m y advertisem ent.

“I f we are to m ake a success o f our ‘legacy farm ’ during the coming sum­mer, a good farm er m ust be p u t in charge now. One w ith a housekeeping w ife would of course be preferable.‘Man, o r m an a M wife,’ I w orded th ead. I f you can’t find a su itable couple, however, and a prom ising single m an appears—take him. H e can sh ift fo r him self. Your judgm ent is be tte r ;than mine, sis,” he ended placatingly.

“I b a te to go out to th a t forsaken place,” Nancy grumbled, “especially now, when there a re so m any things, to do in town. B ut when did I ever fa il you, Ben? I f A unt M atilda can be persuaded—”

“A unt M atilda is alw ays glad to help o thers,” th a t lady answ ered severely, and th e brother—head of tbe fam ily— 'relievedly tu rned to depart.

“By the way,” he called back, “don’t fa il to sell any of the old stuff In the house, if you have a chance.” v

“Ju s t like a man,” N ancy smiled, “how, or to whom could I sell old fu r­niture- in th a t w ildernesf?”

The prospect of a stay in the coun­t ry p lace w as not as discouraging as it had seemed. Aunt M atilda settled back com fortab ly in a4 rocker before the fire which early spring tim e made necessary, while Nancy opened the long unused piano. T he harm ony w hich h e r fingers drew from the yellow keys w as in terrup ted by a loud ring­ing of th e w hite bandied doorbell, and th e girl hastened to respond. A tall, heavily cloaked figure stood before h e r in the doorway, rum pling h is d ark hair, the m an snatched off h is cap in greet­ing.

“I cam e about th e advertisem ent,” he answered.

“Come in,” N ancy in v ited ; she pushedfo rth a chair.

The m an’s eyes brightened in evi­dent adm iration a t sight of her.

“About th e advertisem ent,” she m ur­m ured considering. “Are you m ar­ried?”

T he applicant stared . “Why, no—” he began.

“Well, i t isn’t essential,” Nancy saicl, “th a t is, if you a re able to do your own cooking and w ashing up. Can you?”

T he m an blinked. “The advertise­ment-*-’! h e fttqrtedir'but u g a fith © ' g l #

“HaVe you a reference?” she quer­ied.

The applllcant stood up and smiled. “Your b ro ther sent me out,” he said. M ay I use th e ’phone a mom ent?”

Ben had sent him. In relief Nancy led th e w ay to the telephone.

“This is Barclay,” spoke the man’s voice. “The young lady out here w ants to be sure I am all r ig h t; w ill you tell her."

“Sure,” cam e back Ben’s fam iliar tone.

N ancy took th e instrum ent in to her hands. “You can bank on th a t m an Barclay, sis,” Ben assured her. Then briskly she led the w ay to th e kitchen.

“I will need your help here first,” she to ld th e man, engaged fo r all work, and he la id aside his heavy coat, com­ing cheerfully to her assistance. W hen the fire had been a ttended to, he busied him self w ith a refracto ry faucet, while Nancy began her ta sk of preparing the evening meal. Constantly ishe fe lt th o se ’dark eyes upon her, though the m an rem ained deferentially silent,

j D uring th e week which followed the m an w as tire less in service, even A unt M atilda adm itted th a t Ben had found a jewel. “We' m ay now leave th e place safe in his hands,” she sajid.

B ut to N ancy the though^ of re ­tu rn ing to the city home w as f a r from inviting. She had not known th a t springtim e In the country could be so enchanting. I t had been fun, too, she m ade self confession guiltily—teaching Mr. B arclay to cook. And he had been a m ost agreeable pupil. So many things had been p leasan t—the long drives about the place which i t bad been her du ty to take in h is company, as director. Nancy sighed.

T hrough the window she noticed Ben’s sm all ea r tu rn ing Into th e driveway, and in ano ther m om ent he had en tered th e room. ^ L iftin g h is face from his s is te r’s kiss of greeting, Ben sta red a t th e “helper’s” figure in the doorway.

“G reat Sco tt! B arc lay !” he cried, “when did you come out?”

“H e has been here all th e tim e,” N ancy rem inded h e r b ro ther . “I en­gaged him and he has been w orking beautifully .” ,

“W ork ing!” gasped Ben, b u t B ar­clay nodded. “A slight m isunder­standing,” he said. “I came, as you know, to buy fo r my m other, some of th a t antique fu rn itu re you also ad ­vertised, in the paper, and your sis­te r natu ra lly m istook me as an ap­plicant fo r tb e position. I t pleased my fancy,” he paused, as his* eyes elo­quently sought th e girl—“to stay—and m ake good,”

“B ut your law office?” stam m ered Ben,

“Law and business,” m urm ured B ar­clay, “w hat a re they to th e one spring­tim e of life !” And In sudden under- -standing. N ancy ra ised h e r face to h isand smiled.

L ib e rty Loan D o llars

A r e 1 B eing U sed.

■ Secretary McAdoo lias issued the fol­lowing Liberty Loan statem ent :

: “Again the American peopib have, fliep riv ilege of lending th e ir money, th e irsavings, to the ir governm ent fo r the purpose of m aking the lives and liber­ties of every American safe and of securing the lives and liberties of the gallan t nations which fight with us.

“These bonds bear 4% per cent in ter­est. They are exem pt from all federal, s ta te and local taxation except the federal super-income taxes and inher­itance taxes. They are due ten years a f te r the ir date. They are the safest investm ent in the world, and they bear a ra te of in terest adequately and gen­erously rem unerative. The money de­rived front these bonds (Will be used to supply our soldiers and sailors witli the food, clothing, guns, am munition and other essentials which they m ust have if they are to win this w ar; to p a y ,th e wages of labor-, of those who are engaged’ in m anufacturing these essential supplies; to pay for the raw m aterials and the farm* products and the countless o th e r things th a t en ter into the w ar program of a g reat nn tion.

“We m ust not, we catiuot consider the purchase of governm ent bonds as a purely commercial or business tran s­action. Wa[r is. not business,- although the nation’s business now is war. W ar is the death struggle for $he principles and ideals for Which a ^nation* fights. Business m ust be adjusted to w ar, and every ordinary rule of business m ust be modified, a ltered or ‘ d iscarded if necessary to m eet the suprem e need of the nation in such a tipio. National necessity is the supreme- law of war, and the first duty of every citizen is to subordinate him self and every in terest to that suprem e necessity. To lend one’s money on safe security is a t best a small contribution compared with

•the sacrifice the dying soldier makes, the sacrifice the widow makes, the sac­rifice the m other and fa th e r of a dead hero make. P atrio tism must a t all tim es be the malnspringjOf action not only in th e purchase :of bonds, bu t in eVery o ther th in g th e ^ood'scitizeri does

An E ssen tia l Ss$vice.

“L et us not, th< refore^ consider the purchase o f governm ent/bonds merely as a dommercial o r business transac­tion, merely as an Investment, how­ever safe it may be. Let us consider i t a privilege as well as a duty to per- forfii th is p a r t of the essential service required of us so long as the w ar lasts.

“I t is not enough to m erely subscribe for a bond. The chief value of the subscription lies In the fac t th a t the purchaser keeps his b o n d ; th a t he de­nies him self something, in order to keep i t ; th a t he saves something in order to buy i t W hen you lend your money to the governm ent you m ust not sell your bond Immediately on the m arket, because you do not help In th a t way. Every unnecessary sale Of a governm ent bond lends to depress the inarket price, and the more the m arket price of government bonds Is depressed the more hurtfu l it is to the governm ent’s credit and to. the genu­ine in terest of the people of th e Unit­ed States. If the price goes below par there is an im m ediate demand on the p a rt of the thoughtless people fo r an increase In the ra te of interest, and every time the ra te of In terest is in­creased a new burden of taxation is Imposed on the m ass of the American people. I know th a t we are as a peo pie sensible enough and strong enough and patrio tic enoiigh to continue to supply the governm ent with all the money it needs a t a reasonable ra te of in terest. L e t us make a fight now to stabilize the ra te and le t us prove to the world th a t A merica’s patriotism is not determ ined by the ra te of in terest per annum or by any other m ercenary consideration.

“We m ust also learn th a t the first duty is to save. We are entering tbe second and, I hope, final stage of the w ar, the victorious stage fo r America. I t is the savings of th e people th a t constitu te the real strength of the na­tion’s power to produce arid to supply the things Indispensably requirted for the War. E very 'ounce of wool saved, every pound of food saved, every stroke of labor saved, is power exerted upon the b a ttle front. W e, therefore, add m easurably to th e streng th o f tbe nation* by practicing economy and pre­venting w aste.”

AMUSING PIECE OF "NERVE”How Cool Impudence of Young British

Naval Officers Relieved Ten­sion of Situation.

In “F acing th e H indenburg Line,” by B urris A. Jenkins, m ay be found a num ber of incidents In which naval men prove th e ir coolness and heroism . Nobody knows all tb e stories of cool­ness and heroism among th e naval men, says the author. W e shall no t learn them till the w ar i s . over,, h u t here is one th a t perhaps .the w ill gilow to go by. &

Francoxttg w hen she w as su n k acttrijj a s a transport.

••we n a a five o r six naval- officers aboard. They w ere sitting In the smoking room—rem em ber the smoking lounge in th e old F ranconia? I t w as very long, as long as th is dining room and twice as broad. They had ju s t o rdered w hisky sodas. Suddenly there w as hn explosion and the*, steel floor o f the smoking room ju s t buckled up and b u rs t a p a r t in the middle of the ship. One of those officers called th e stew ard and s a id : , A

“ ‘I ask you to w itness, stew ard, th a t we have paid fo r these whisky sodas and have not had tim e to drink them .'

The most Important development ofthe w eek on the w estern fro n t cam e at the end, when it w as announced th a t the French reserves had ta k en th e ir places beside the B ritish in th e scene of the northern fighting, where the Germ ans are a ttack ing from the? Vimy ridge to Ypres. T his announce* m ent w as not m ade in an official com­munique, but cam e in th e dispatches from the correspondents at the front, telling of the long lines of blue coated French soldiers going into th e firing line.

In the sam e way It becam e know n- th a t the French had tak en ov^er s till more of the p a r t of the line in th e Amiens sector th a t h ad been held by the B ritish. They extended th e ir lines to north of the Somme and a ll along the ir p a r t of the fro n t a re rep o rted to have achieved the g rea tes t corncentea- tion of a rtille ry fire yet seen in th e w ar. They began also, the co rresponden ts say, a trem endous a rtille ry fire on a lt the line from the Somme to th e Oise, pounding not only the Germa.n f ro n t line, but far to the rear- and , m aking impossible the building o f trenches, concentration of troops or the moving up o f reserves.

General M aurice de- ^ d a re d tha t Ila ig in tiie north was fight­ing a second W aterloo and plaintively asked where was Rlucher with the re­serves. He also enum erated the num­ber of German divisions against'w hich the British had fought and made a comparison with tlie p a rt the French had taken in the battle, ending with the statem ent tha t the French arm y is la rger than the British.

General M aurice om itted, however, th a t the French are holding 350miles of line as compared, to seventy miles held by the British, while the sam e papers carried tlie statem ents, from W ashington th a t the B ritish had 7,500,000 men under arm s April 1, and i t is well known th a t the French arm;,* num bers not m ore than 3.000,000.

INSURING THE WITH MERIT BONDS

B y H. A R M S T R O N G R O B E R T S .

Said a fa rm er to the cashier of a local bank : “I can’t afford to buy Lib­e rty Bonds. The way prices are for seed, fertilizer, labor and such like I need all the cash I have to get mycrops s ta rted .”

“Yes,” replied the cashier, “we allneed cash. B ut then we’ve got to pro­tect th a t cash, too.”

The farm er was puzzled. The cash­ie r w ent on : “Got any insurance on your barn and o ther buildings?”

“Sure,” the farm er responded ; “$10,- 000.”

“You w ouldnt be w ithout th a t pro­tection, would you?”

“No.”“Costs you som ething to keep It up,

doesn’t it?”“Well, I should say i t d id ; about $70

a year.”“Mighty good investm ent, though, if

you happened to have a fire.”“T h a t’s the way I try to look a t it,”

re tu rned the farm er.“G ood!” exclaimed the cashier.

“T h a t’S the way every business man looks a t those things. And now I w ant you to look at these Liberty Bonds m the same light.

“Ju s t as your insurance policies pro­tect your property against loss by fire, so do Liberty Bonds protect your prop­e r ty - an d . the lives of your family against the invasion of the Hun. Make no m istake about i t ; L iberty Bonds a re protection of the strongest sort. The only thing which stands be­tween us and the German hordes is an arm ed fron t—well equipped armies, a' pow erful navy, a g iant transport fleet, a irc ra ft and m unitions plants. I t is th is arm ed fron t which is safeguarding your property, your loved ones, and mine. I t is defending our personal liberty and the righ t to own property a t all. I t is preventing us from be­coming a slave, a vassal, under one of the m ost terrib le, heartless, wanton m ilitary system s the world has ever known. ' *

“Liberty Bonds provide the govern- pifc-nt with the cash to pro tect your p roperty against destruction or con­fiscation ; therefore I call them insur­ance. .But, unlike your fire insurance, which offers you nothing in return , ex­cepting you meet w ith a disaster, the L iberty Bonds constitu te a loan, which w ill be repaid in full a t some fu tu re date, in addition to which you receive com pensation fo r the loan in the form of In terest on the money. In o ther words, th e governm ent is not only willing to provide you w ith tiie best protection a t its command, bu t it Is w illing to pay y ou ’well fo r any as­sistance you may lend.
