BE A STAMP SAVER
Every boy, at a certain period in his
Hfe, becomes possessed with the desire
to be a stamp collector. Stamps of all
•©untries are eagerly sought after and
earefully preserved. Today your coun
try is asking not only every boy, but
every man, woman and child, to be
«ome stamp collectors—collectors of
thrift and war savings stamps.
There are now rumors that Ger
many is going to make, or possibly
already has made, peace offers. Don’t
let your mind be distracted by such
talk from the matter of investing your
spare change in these stamps. Of
course, everybody hopes for peace, but
very few people expect to get it right
Away.
The only way to get peace seems
to be to lick the daylight out of the
Germans and shelve the crowned
heads of that country. To do this we
will have to keep up our preparations
night and day without the least bit of
slackening. And the more strenuous
we are in our preparations the sooner
we are going to be able to hand out
that licking and the earlier peace will
come.
Individual effort is going to count
Hor much in the final result. The col
lecting of war savings stamps is
largely, in fact, entirely, a matter of
individualism. They should be selling
faster than they are today. Of all
war financing schemes, the stamps
constitute the best, since they mean
actual saving and not borrowing on
accumulated capital or future savings.
They represent a steady, day-to-day
saving in small things which means
the cultivation of an excellent habit,
one which will be felt for good in fu
ture generations of American history.
If you have already started your
collection, add to it daily as oppor
tunity offers; if you have not yet be
gun the collection do so at once. The
weight of your individual effort adds
greatly to the total force to be thrown
against the Hun.

»S TROTZKY GETTING SENSE?
Press dispatches carry the news
that Trotzky wants ten American army
officers to aid him in forming a volun
teer army. He needs American rail
way engineers and transportation ex
perts to assist in untangling and un
scrambling the railroad situation in
his land of anarchy.
I« this a sign that Trotzky is getting
down from his high horse?
Has he concluded that his lips can
not reform the whole world.
And has he seen that the only hope
for Russia lies in assistance from the
Allies, which demands a new alliance
with them?
It is nothing strange for a fancy
free student of politics to come down
to earth once he brushes up against
conditions as they must be met.
Trotzky has had his brush with
Germany. That should have put a
little discernment into an emptier
skull than his.
