SAVING IN WAR
NOW MADE EASY
THRIFT STAMPS OFFER OPPOR-
TUNITY FOR POOR TO
SAVE

With the combined object OF en-
couraging thrift and of securing
a funds, the United States gov
eminent is issuing thrift stamps and
wal savings certificates.
The thrift stamps come in de-
nominations of 25 cents, and for
the convenience of purchasers
thrift cards are furnished upon the
purchase of one or more stamps.
These cards provide spaces for six
teen stamps, and when all spaces
ere filled the card, with the addi-
tional payment of IL cents, and n
cen added for each month after
Feb. l, 1918, may be exchanged for
che war savings stamp for which
the United States promises to pay
$500 on January 1, 1928.
The thrift stamps draw no inter-
est until converted into war savings
stamps, upon which interest is paid
at the rate of 4 per cent, COM
pounded quarterly. The war saw
ings stamps, in turn, are pasted in
spaces provided in a blank war
savings certificate 20 spaces, suffi-
Gent for 500 in savings stamps,
being provided.
No n person may purchase
more than 500 in any nj day, nor
can he have in his possession at any
time more than $1,000 worth of the
certificates.
The security behind these certifi-
Gates is exactly that behind the Lib
orty bonds and other obligations of
the United States government-the
honor and of the richest
nation in the world. The war saw
ings certificates and thrift stamps
are Liberty bonds-'Baby Liberty
Bonds in denominations within the
reach Of the man, woman or child
OF limited means.
This issue is not an experiment;
it is based upon the proved results
of three years experience with wal
savings in England, where they have
become the most popular method
Of securing funds for war purposes.
The membership total in war-sav-
ings associations in England exceeds
5000, 900, and 10000 permanent
associations exist, the members OF
which contribute regularly from
their earnings.
1t has been found that, once he
has been interested, each member
becomes more and more ~enthusiIs-
tic as he finds his money working
for him and drawing compound in
terest. Yet those members work
longer hours for smaller wages and
under more adverse conditions than
exist anywhere in America.
Fred l.. White, postmaster of
Reno, has been appointed state di-
rector of war savings for Nevada.
Information regarding the new
stamps and certificates may be Sc
cured from him. from the state
council of defense, or from any post
master Or bank.

ELDER CREEK
SHIPPING ORE

Two teams have just been put on
by E. S. Mendive hauling ore from
his Elder Creek property, which
give every assurance of being the
steady shipper of the Elder Greek
district.
The property, comprised of six
claims, was taken over by Mendive
about nine months ago. Since taking
over the group the management has
speut a great deal of capital in both
development and exploration work.
A strong cropping has been open
ed along the surface for a distance
of some 400 feet when assays from
/ to 20 per cent in copper with fair
returns In gold and silver.
A tunnel driven for a distance of
200 feet has intersected numerous
veins. Extensive work in cross-cuts
and stopping has been done, while at
present drifting on a 6-foot vein is
being executed.
Both the quantity and quality of
TIE ore gives the management every
assurance that the shipments now
begun will continue for some time
to come to the tune of at least two
cars a week. The initial shipment
of W railroad cars went out the
last of the week.-Scout.

EXPERIENCE BEST TEACHER

Usually. after a person performs a
task that is new to him for suffi-
cient length of time 1t becomes a
simple task indeed, even though, at
first. it seemed exceedingly difficult.
This rule holds good in mastering the
steering wheel. the gears. the brake
and the various parts of a car which a
motorist has to become accustomed to
before he becomes a good driver.
The best teacher, therefore. IS ex-
perience, after receiving a few instruc-
tions. and a demonstration or two. at
the hands of one who has mastered
the game.
1t always is best to start the lesson
on a wide. smooth boulevard, or a
street where there Is little traffic.
Learning to drive. so far as the first
lessons are concerned. really resolves
itself into starting the car, steering 1t
straight ahead. stopping. backing up.
turning around. learning to run the
machine up to the curbs and ''wedg-
ing" it in between two autos, twenty

over again, until you feel that you
have mastered 1t, and then do it again
and again. You can't get too much

Another Effect of High Altitude.

Another effect which driving at high
attitudes has upon the motive power re-
lates to the cooling system. Under re-
duced air pressure the boiling point of
water is very considerably reduced and
a cooling system. which under ordinary
conditions operates at pretty high
temperature, may commence to steam
and lose it's water under the combined
influence of the lowered boiling point
and the extremely hard work thrown
upon the engine by long continued steep
grades and poor roads.
