"I know how they feel." said the Giant "But I am poor and not well," went on their father. "Our farm can be made to produce big crops and Ben, and Bill have just got old enough so that they can help me work it proper ly. The food it will yield is needed by our armies, by pur ajjies, by the peoplt back home." v "But if I take their place" the Giant was interrupted by the rich farmer, who had come up unnoticed. "You're going to work for me," said the rich farmer. "That's settled " "No, I don't know as it is," replied the Giant, looking at Ben and Bill, whose faces, all aglow for a moment with new hope, were now growing gloomy again. "I'll give you one and three-quarters regular wages," bid the rich farmer. "Mr., Daltpn can't afford that." "No, I can't," agreed Mr. Dalton. sadly shaking his head. Peggy was hanging tightly to the fiant'a. tionrt Ahat wimiI h An? Would he take the rich farmer's offer? Or would he be a patriot and send Ben and Bill to battle for the United States?. "I don't know as I can afford it either," mused the Giant. , . , , itiAn&it v. ; A Patriotic Bargain.

"Aa 1 can do two men's work I ought to get two men's, wages," ar , gued Jthe Giant, who vras evidently a I shrewd bargainer. i "Pit give you half as much . again !

Thej farmer looked around in sur- arise.; ; ' - I ; "THere are two boys at the next farm Xvho want to" go to war You I can aid them." explained Peggy. "WJiat was that? 1 heard some one speak;" cried the farmer, looking up ' and down and all around for Peggy ) "Itwas the voice of opportunity," 'saiI die Giant "I must listeu to ft'.' "ileel Here! Don't gort PI! let you take the auto every Saturday t nighty And we'll have ice cream for i dessert qn the Fourth of July."

Ana nere we are tiea down to a farm when there are thou sands and thousands of men not fitted to be soldiers who could cake our places here if they were not so lazy." "That's you!" said Peggy to the Giant "What's that?" The boys looked around for Peggy just as the rich farmer had done. "It's the voice of conscience," de clared the Giant. "You can take their places," sug gested Peggy. Again the -boys looked around nervously. "There it is again," they said. ' "It's the voice of duty," responded the Giant. "I'll do your work on the farm while you go to war." "You will?" shonted the astonished young men. "Father, come here quick." A frail looking man came from a nearby field. They greeted him in great excitement. "This big man will take our place on the farm so we can go to war." The frail m'an studied the Giant. "He looks as if he could do the work," he commented; with a smile. "I can do two men's work." boasted the Giant. "The farmer up the road ottered to give .me the wages of a K man and a half.' The smile on the face of the frail man died away, "I cannot afford to pay wages." he said sadly. That's why 1 have had to keep Ben and Bill home from the war when they want with all their : 7" Til give you double wages," eager ly bid the rich farmer, "and the auto Saturday night and the ice cream. Think of the ice cream." "Xo," said the Giant. - "Then what is our price?" asked the astonished rich farmer. "My price is two young men for Uncle Sam," thundered the Giant. "Can you pay that price, Mr. Rich Farmer?" Therich farmer promptly shook his head. .'"Can you pay that price. Farmer Dalton?" "Yes, I can pay it, and gladly," i crie'l Father Dalton. ! "Then I accept your offer," declared j the Giant, and all I want in return j is food for myself and Billy Belgium." . "Gijori Good' Good!" shouted tesy. "What's that?" cried the four men. "It's ?!ie voice of my country, to which I give all myself from this day forth, even as these two boys are giving themselves." Thus spoke the Giant so solemnly that even the rich farmer took off his hat.

Teaching Sailors on Dry Lanb Instead of Sea The training of a man-of-war's man is not a simple matter, says the Pop ular Science Monthly In days gone by it used to take almost as many years as it now takes months. The methods of instruction and of training l:ave.lndergone wonderful changes; they have become much more in tensive. ( Stations for the training of the future sea fighters have been estab lished at many points. At these sta tions the young'men preparing them selves for naval service receive the most careful instruction and training, theoretical as well as practical, and in accordance with the most advanced ideas. Nothing could emphasize more strongly the difference between the present method of training and that which was in vogue in the olden days Then the men were drilled in the most primitive manner; a rope's end usually played an important role as an educational factor. Now, with the help of models, the men are taught in one hour what would have taken days, weeks or even months under the old system. Many Pledge Selves to' Do War Savings Work More than 50 men pledged them rive at a meetinc in the Chamber x)f Commerce Wednesday to work under direction of C. b. Corey tor the war savings drive which culmi nates on June 28. The plan to boost sale of war savings stamps is to or ganize war savings societies. A worker goes to a business house and Each purchaser of $30 quarter acre tracts of our High Island property receives, in addition to Warranty Deed, a Profit Sharing Con tract, entitling him to participate proportionately in half our profits from al! wells we drill. This not only covers profits from our 1,000 acres at High Island, but also includes our proven Humble lease, and any other properties we may subsequently acquire. This Contract provides that half our profits shall be paid to tract buyers every 30, 60, or 90 days, depending upon the amounts accrued. j This should show you the fairness of our offer to the people asf sisting us in the drilling of our holdings, through the purchase of $30 quarter acre tracts. . . We believe the investment of every tract purchaser is fully pro 7 tected from his share of profits from our proven Humble lease. ' When we prove High Island to be a great gusher oil field, we fully , expect to make fortunes for our tract purchasers. 1 Here is a friendly tip for you-wake up, and at least let us send! you free bulletin before this opportunity is gone.

Some years ago a London publisher offered a prize for the best definition of MONEY. A Sheffield man won the prize. Jn effect he said MONEY can take us anywhere except to HEAVEN and can get us anything except HAPPINESS. I am not so sure that we Would agree with.that definition. Money used to give comfort to others blesses him that gives as well as him that does receive and that comes mighty near to procuring Happiness. Money turned over to the Nation at this time-given or loaned for or to country if it will not take us to Heaven, may at least land us in the (JHAMPS ELYSEE.

Medical men are more and more endorsing the value of good candy, both on sea, in canyp and field. - ' " There is'much advantage in being advised wisely on hot weather candies. It is a satisfaction to know that here you will find people who have spent a generation of time in the candy business; who know what's what about candy and who's who in the business; who care more for reputation than for individual sales; who would rather lose sales than fail to give satisfaction. ' Such, my friends are "Cobbs," Mr. and Mrs. Cobb, two people who are doing as much to put Omaha on the map in a desirable' way as any two we know 'v. - Nowhere such a variety of dainty, choice things. No where better candy. Nowhere more attractive boxing. Many people have a weekly order on file. . Many more are getting the habit Wherever good candy is known, the name "Cobb" is a familiar one; from east, 'west, north and south; for Junctions' people consult with and order from "Cobb.". The telephone number is Douglas 51. Not' easy to give you prop er attention on Saturday afternoon; we almost despair of get ting you to order in the morning. Close at 6 P. M. Saturdays MHSBBB
