Thrifty
Women
NINE TIMES OUT OF TEN,
the women are the money-savers
of. the family. Men mean well
enough. They Know the value
of having money in the bank,
but they haven’t the knack of
saving. They haven’t learned
the trick of making one dollar do |
the work of two in buying, and |
of laying the other dollar away l’
for the rainy day that may come. |
H We desire to encourage these
I I®;; thrifty women, and this is our urgent
111 invitation to those who may desire
1 HI to °Pen a bank account. Our officers

I Good Roads Are Needed I
I To Help Win the War
— a
The war is not deterring highway
construction, but is rather augment
ing the interest in it.
Wm. B. Owen, state highway com
missioner for Arkansas, in a conven
tion at Oklahoma City, attracted at
tention by an address in which he
pointed out how the fine highways of
France had enabled the French to
shift men and supplies with suffi
cient speed to win the battle of the
! Marne. The Oklahoma Times, com
menting on Mr. Owens’ address, says: ;
“And it is true that when good!
roads are needed in war, the need is j
more imperative than in peace. In j
i France, for instance, good roads not j
| only sei’ved to save the nation and j
i the cause of civilization at the Marne, j
but again at Verdun the fate of
France depended for a time on the
ability to keep a constant stream of
motor vehicles moving to the front.
“Mr. Owen makes a logical fore
cast, too, when he ventures the asser
tion that the war -will see new impe
tus to road building in this country,
and that there will be two or three
transcontinental highways. As he
points out to the postal highway con
vention, there are advantages on be
ing located on such a great trunk
line turnpike, which this city can
not afford to overlook. Such roads
and tributary lines will be built, of
course, with a view to their military
utility, but it is hoped they will not
have to be used to save the nation
from ruthless invaders, as did the
paved roads of France.
| “Certainly their most general use
fulness will be to serve our peaceful
needs, whicH if less exacting than
those of war, are far more permanent
and enduring. There are difficulties
in promoting such highway projects
while the whole ene^^r of the nation
is bent on war, but milch preliminary
work can be done, and should be.”
ENDURE HARDSHIPS.
London, ^eb. 27.—Some of the
hardships experienced by the British
forces in Palestine are described in
a letter received here from a priest.
The letter, written shortly before the
fall of Jerusalem, tells of a day ear

from Bcersheba was unable to reach

the men then fighting for the deliv
erance of the Holy City from the
Turk.
“There was a hot wind blowing,”
writes the priest. “A tumbler full of
water was left in my bottle which I
divided between four officers whose i
lips were split and covered with green
slime. That afternoon I had a bur
ial service, and, literally I could not
articulate without keeping my hand
to my mouth and pulling my lower
lip off my teeth, while bullets from a
concealed sniper whizzed past us. In !
the evening water came in, enough
to give each one bottle—quite inade- |
quate.”
