i he plan of the government
to raise revenue through the
sale of war savings stamps is
one of the most commendable
plans yet instituted. The sale
of liberty bonds was and is
necessarily circumscribed be
cause these bonds could not be
issued in small denominations
sufficient to include the small
savings of the millions who
handle only small means. With
the savings stamps, however,
all can have a hand in finan
cing their government. Millions
who felt themselves unable to
spare the amount of a bond
can contribute through this
channel. And the fact that
every penny invested in these
stamps is so much saved and
invested at a profit, should in
spire in the American people a
spirit of thrft and saving that
has heretofore been totally for
eign to our nature. The res
ponse should be universal.

I cannot eat the old meals,
I ate long years ago
For all of us must save our bit.
And Hoover fusses so.
But tempting pitcures of the
past,
[Come flitting through my
brain,
I'd love to have a thick beef
steak
Or frosted cake again.
I cannot eat the old meals,
I know it would not do;
For wheat and meat must be
conserved,
And milk and sugar too.
| And all the fats we save, will
make
Explosives, so they say,
I cannot eat the old meals,
It isn’t done today.
I cannot eat the old meals,
Beans largely form my fare;
And butter very thinly spread,
On bread that isn’t there.
A skim-milk soup, a sour-milk
cheese—
They are not very good;
I cannot eat the old meals,
But Gee! I wish I could!

u IN ARKANSAS
I cannot tell what makes me
pine
For those dead native hills of
mine;
Nor can I tell why clearer
gleams
The water of my mountain
streams,
Nor why the earth and sky and
air
Seem kindlier there than any
where.
It must be that by Nature’s
law
They all belong to Arkansas.
Somehow the twlight’s restful
hour
Is fullest there of soothing
And from the day’s soft after
glow,
Heaven can’t be very far, I
know.
The world a disillusioned
waste,
Fills all my soul with visions
vast,
And I climb up in Spirit land,
Among the stars and under
stand
Why every fleeting breath I
draw
Seems sweetest here in Ark
ansas.

TOMMY’S HARD LUCK
Tommy came crying out of a
room in whcih his father was
lacking down carpet.
“Why Tommy, what’s the
matter?” asked his mother.
“P-p-p-papa hit his finger
with the hammer,” sobbed
Tommy.
“Well, you needn’t cry at a
thing like that,” comforted his
mother. “Why didn’t you
laugh?”
“I did.” sobbed Tommy dis
consolately.

Mr. W. C. Owen*, Charlotte, N. C.,
feeds thirty cows. He considers Buckeye Hulls the
cheapest feed and gets the best results.
To secure the best results and to derelop the ensilage odor, wet the hull*
thoroughly twelve hour* before feeding. It is easy to do this by
wetting them down night and morning for the nest feeding. If at any time
this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to
feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old style hulls.
