to So�nd Money
ONEY is for use not for hoarding.lViost of us want what money will buy
more than money, so we are always spending our money. A.Isg, most of
us do not make enough money to keep or hoard it—we mast spend
it on necessities.
• Much Exeter money le spent with
firms outside of this cernmunity-
evith the big city znil arder houses;
;money that •ought to be spent at

more,
• To the People hi and About Exeter
Spend your money in Exeter. Sending money out of this community
makes the community poorer for you and everybody else. Building up

Brave Warneford has done his dui,
He has taken his last long ttlight
As a meteor was his beaute, •
Like a herp In his Might:
aft (King and Country Reed me.
Mather, said hen and. I will
And 'come back home to England.'
To 'give the world a thrill.
Three braves went out one morning,
To bomb fa Zeppelin. shed.; •
When 'Warneford saw the monster,
Saida the raider for Me instead.
Like the king bird chases the raven,
As a sword fish strikes h whale;
Waraeford sears through the hea-
vens,
The 'Zeppelin turns its tail.
'Twas In the earlt dawning,
When the eagle strikes bare e
This airship was returning
As a tiger to its lair.
Down 'weeps Warneford the hero,
Till above tit scarce :fifty yards;
His fear. 'tis said, ,was zero,
Right wehIbe plan ed. bis cards.
Se dropped three bombe on ' the
monster,
Then rail was in such confusion;
And just to finish the lobster, ,
There eame an awful explosion.
Huge (wreck that ifell ocl a Convent,
Burning nrtd killed all the Aunst.
Adds to its record without consent
Killing two other worrien: Nuns
• Our hero was blown high ske wards,
/3 Such an explosion of gee;
He looped the loop ,did Warne/ford:(
Gliding to earth, it was class,
Bat he lit in. enemy's country,
Just over the German line;
His resources were his bounty,
Now ne's filling the tank behind.,
Then as the Germans rush forward,
'ao gather up 'Warneford as dead;
Ele started his; airbird homewards,
And paned. high over their heads.
Then comes the king's glad. nee,ssane,
Since eou are 'first, said he
Single handed to destros a raider,
I honour eoa with the V.G. •
With 'pride we remember Warneford,
May his spirit ever remain,
To uphold the British watchward,
And plas the hero's game.
