The war is costing the United States ? 1,000,000 an hour.
To offset this steady and tremendous drain upon the nation's
each resources, there must be a corresponding stream of dollars
flowing into the national treasury.
Thrift stamps and war savings stamps offer the people an op
portunity to deposit their daily, weekly or monthly savings with
the government.
In return the government will repay the. principal with 4 per
cent interest, compounded quarterly. As an example of how the
investor's money will grew, sixteen war savings stamps, costing 25
cents each, or $4.00 in all, with 12 cents added, will entitle the
depositor to $5.00 or. January 1, 1923.
As an investment, safety considered, there is nothing better
on the market today. All the resources cf the richest government
on earth are behind the stamps.

DEATH OF MOSES
KIATT AT MURRAY
LAST THURSDAY
From Saturday's Daily.
Moses Hiatt was born near Peoria,
111., April 11, 1836 and died in Mur
ray, Nebraska, January 17, 1918.
When he was twelve years old his
father moved his family to Iowa and
became owner of the land on which
the town of Sidney the county seat
of Fremont county is now located.
June 22nd, 1856 at Sidney, Iowa,
lie was united in marriage to Mal
lissa Kauble, a relation which
brought much mutual happiness, un
til terminated by Mr. Hiatt's death.
In the fall of 1S61 they came to
Nebraska and settled in Rock Bluffs,
then a prosperous town. About 1873
they moved to their farm a mile and
a half south of Rock Bluffs. In 1883
he sold this farm and moved his fam
ily to Butler County, where he pur
chased a farm which three years
later he disposed of and removed to
Beaver City. Nebraska, where he re
sided with his family for four years,
and disposing of his interests there
returned to Plattsmouth, where he
resided until six years ago, since
which time he has made his home
with his son L. D. Hiatt in Murray.
At the early age of eight years
Mr. Hiatt was converted, professed
his faith in Christ as his savior, and
united with the United Brethren
Church of which his Father John
Hiatt was a minister. To the pro
fession made in childhood he was
true through all the years of his
long life. After coming to Iowa, he
became a member of the Methodist
Episcopal Church in which relation
he continued until death. He was
one of the charter members of the
congregation of that church that was
maintained at Reck Bluffs for many
years, and when the building that
had been occupied by that congre
gation was demolished some two
years ago, his name was found among
those in the records found in the
corner stone. He was among the
first and most earnest and efficient
class leaders of his church in Cass
county. After hi3 removal to Butler
county he was instrumental in start
ing a neighborhood prayer meeting
which developed into a prosperous
congregation. This good work was
repeated at Beaver City and he con
tinued to be zealous in the service
of his Saviour until his death. Like
his Master he went about doing good,
and very many will rise up to call
him blessed for the large part he had
in leading them to Christ.
Besides his wife there survive him
three of their seven children Mrs.
Rosy Cole of Weeping Water, B. W.
Hiatt, Rising City and L. " D. Hiatt
of Murray, Mrs. D. J. Tennant of
Arnolds Park, a niece was also a
member of Mr. Hiatt's family from
infancy, and was regarded as one
of his own children in her treatment.
Mr. Hiatt had five brothers and three
sisters and of these three is yet living
Joseph Hiatt of Glenwood, Iowa, and
Jesse Hiatt of Santa Ana, California.
There also survive him eighteen
grand children and thirty great
grand children.
The pall bearers were six of his
grandchildren.
The following was contributed by
a friend and read at the service.
Yes Father, we will miss you, it is
hard to say goodbye,
But we hope sometime to meet you
in the land beyond the sky.
Where sunshine ever lingers, and
never mote the night,
In that Celestial City where Jesus
is the light.
You have crossed the stream before
us, and twill not be very long.
Until you see us coming to join your
happy throng.
So a few more days we'll travel on
the journey here below
Until the Master calls us and bids us
to you go.
IN APPRECIATION.
To the man j' good friends who so
kindly lent their assistance during
the illness of the beloved husband
and father, and for the beautiful
floral offerings, we extend our
heart felt thanks.

SENATOR MAGHAUO SAYS .
BRAZIL TO SEND ARMY
AGAINST THE GERMANS
Paris, Jan. 20. Within a few
months Brazil will have an army of
several hundred thousand men ready
to take their place in France beside
their allies and the end of this year
she will have assembled an army of
2,000.000 men in the field.
( This was the statement made by
the Brazilian senator, De'Mello Ma
chado, in a recent interview publish
ed in the Petit Journal. Brazil has
a population of 25,000,000. An army
of-2, 000,000 men would bring into
service at least one sixth of the
male population.
"It is a question of honor," de
clared Senator De'Mello Machado,
"for my country to come to the light
ing front in France in order to take
part in the defense of the world lib
erty. Germany seems to have considered
our declaration of war as a matter of
small importance. She adopted the
same tactics with Great Britain at
the beginning of the conflict and
more recently with respect to the
United States. We must make her
change her tone.
"Before the war our army and
navy had altogether about 150,000
men. I do not exaggerate when I
say today Brizil with a population of
25,000,000 can easily raise an army
of 2,000,000 men. Within a few
months we shall have an army of
several hundred. thousand men ready
to go to France to fight with their
allies."
Brazil declared war on Germany
on October 2Cth last.
