This week we had a genuine treat. It came in the form of a
story of a brave little fellow who did his simple duty over there in
London in insisting that he go to the aid of his sister in one of thqse,
terrible raids that will disgrace Germany while the sun shines and
the rain falls. What we liked was a story that did not compel one
to hold his nose over matters that when treated as they should be
are sacred and noble but which, when dealt with by the average
modern story are salacious and degrading. In the midst of all this
offensive stew and brew came this story, fresh as tlie heather
and bracing as a breeze from the ocean. When will our .magazines
learn that the run of readers is clean-minded and beauty-loving
and right-spirited? We confess a fondness for the heroines of the
Lady of the Lake type and for heroes of the Knight of Snowden

boys to take his son’s place. Last winter the fathex* was no longer able

nothing this first of April for the son to do but to return to the farm
where he hopes to spend the rest of his days. As far as the son is
concerned, the choice is a wise one. He does not meet all the require

way,

Helping To Keep Prices Reasonable
High taxes help to guard the country against unreasonable
rises in the cost of living: They divert money from un
necessary spending for peace-time goods to Government
spending for essential war-time material.
Skving money, practised by thousands of thrifty depositors
has a similar effect: It helps to keep prices from soaring
by decreasing the demand for non-essential, peace-time
commodities.
Thus, when you save money In a savings account, you bene
fit yourself and the country. You will need to save, not only
for family and personal emergencies, but to pay taxes and
to buy war securities. Saving today is a patriotic service.
