WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
CHANCE TO MAKE MONEY BY IN
VESTING IN UNCLE SAM'S Sc
CURITIES-TH PLAN

Grant county is asked to purchase
several hundred thousand dollars in
war saving stamps" the allotted share
for, Wisconsin being about fifty mil
lions. The war saving stamps will be
sold through banks and postoffices
under the auspices of the federal re-
serve banks III a monster campaign
inaugurated December 1.
War saving stamps are "baby bonds
like Liberty bonds that have behind
them the entire resources of the
United States government. They have
an additional advantage in that they
increase in value from the time they
are purchased until their maturity
and the increase is guaranteed by the
United States.
This obligation is to be issued by
the government in two issues of rs
cent and SIS stamps. For the con-
venience of the purchaser a thrift
card" is furnished to all purchasers
of the 25-cent stamps. This card has
spaces for sixteen stamps and when
the entire number has been secured
it may be exchanged for one SIS stamp
at postoffices or banks by paying II
cents on Feb. 1 and 1 cent a month
for every month thereafter.
The SIS stamps may be purchased
outright. They will be on sale be-
tween Dec. 1 and Jan. 81 at $442, and
increase in value automatically until
Jan. 1, 1928, when they will be pur-
chased by the the United States at
a cost of SIS.
If the holder of war stamp should
desire to sell it before date of matur-
ity it will be purchased at any post
office at cost and l per cent per month
will be paid the holder on each stamp.
The stamps are to be issued on a
basis of $40 per capita for every man
woman and child in the United States

FOR FOOD CONTROL
STATE DEFENSE COUNCIL TAKES
MEASURES TO PROTECT PUB
Lie FROM GREEDY DEALERS
Special to the Herald.

Special to the Herald.
Madison, Wis, Dec 3-Within the
next few days in Wisconsin counties
in which cities are situated, county
food administrator will be appointed,
and this plan will be continued until
every county in the state has food
administrator.
1t will be the duty Of the county
food administrator to appoint commit
tees that under his direction will see
to it that the wholesale merchants
live up to the rules and regulations
of the federal food administration,
and that retail merchants do not
charge more than reasonable profit
on all articles that can be classed as
staples.
In explaining this movement State
Food Administrator Magnus Swenson
said:
'The tendency among retail mer-
chants has been to charge excessive
profits on many of the necessities Of
life and it is for the purpose Of
placing these products on stable
basis and putting a stop to this prac-
tice that the food administration has
decided upon this plan. Letters are
going forward today from the state
food administration to sixteen coun-
ties asking for an immediate recon-
mendation by the county councils of
defense of food administrator. Up
on receipt of these recommendations
appointments will be made and the
machinery put into motion.
1T is the hope of the state food adj
ministration that the merchants them
selves will voluntarily come into this
agreement and in every way cooper
ate. All prices will be based upon the
cash and carry and the merchants
will add an additional price for de-
livery service, SO that every purchaser
will know exactly what this is cost
ing him. 1t is the hope of the food
administration that in this way the
system that has grown up in the
grocery trade may be at least prtial-
ly eliminated"

THE SOLDIERS CHRISTMAS

Not a single Grant county soldier
or sailor will be forgotten if the plans
inaugurated by a subcommittee of the
council of defense are followed out.
The contributions of the school
children in the county have totaled
5000 but as this amount is not suf-
ficient to provide every soldier with a
remembrance, it was suggested that t
money be turned over to the domestic
science department for homemade
candy.
Each community is to be given list
of it's men in the service and asked
to provide boxes for them. Out of the
5000 enough candy can be made to
provide each community with one box
for every soldier.
After the candy is made it will be
boxed with the inscription, GA Merry
Christmas from the School Children
of Grant County and the necessary
number of boxes forwarded from Lam
caster to go with the box from the
home town.
Information may be had from Judge
GOOdsell, Supt. Bray, w. J. Brennan,
F. G. Meyer, Geo. Baxter, Walter Red
dy, A. H. Kessler, Arthur Bailie, E.

A SEA ADV ENTURE
DUKE EIDE WRITES OF THRILL
ING ESCAPE BY FRIEND FROM
SUBMA RINE-LANDED SAFE

A Lancaster friend of Marmaduke
Eide gives the Herald an excerpt from
letter giving an interesting account
Of an adventure at sea:
Yesterday | met an interesting chap
at the station, Mr.. Reid from Texas
He is at our camp for further transfer
He was one of the survivors from the
Platuria which was sunk by a U-boat.
Will relate to you the story he gave
me of this experience:
On August l. the Platuria, Stand
ard Oil companys tank steamer, left
for Italy with full cargo of oil. Mr..
Reid was one of the crew, a seaman,
Saturday afternoon, just a little after
two o'clock the Platuria was on hum
dred miles off the coast of Gibraltar
The day was a cold and damp one At
2: AS torpedo struck the Platuria and
she sank in seven minutes. Two life
boats out of six could be lowered in
time. Mr.. Reid was in the latter and
it capsized throwing it's occpants into
the icy cold water The Platuria was
now out of sight and 200 yards away
up comes the U-boat which fired the
fatal shot. Towards the U-boat the
boys began to swim upon reaching it's
them and quickly they were on the
deck Of the German submarine, also
those who were in the first life boat
The captain appeared to be young
man but could not speak English, the
bOatswain could, so he acted as inter-
prefer. Mr.. Reid said the first ques-
ton they asked us was, care any of
you English" mol" came the answer
eve are Americans" The boys were
not permitted to go below. The captain
ordered them some brandy to warm
them up and upon presenting it to
the boys he made the remark, your
friends the English, furnished us this
brandy. We just captured one of their
ships They were ordered to get into
the boat and the officer said, you are
in the steamer lane, and soon you will
be picked up" The boys were set
adrift, wet and cold the submarine
gradually submerging. Next day at
noon Sunday they were picked up
by an Italian steamer, the Aurelied.
They were taken to Funchal in the
Madeira islands. Here they were met
by the American consul who gave them
dry clothing and housed them at the
Golden Gate hotel. They remained at
Funchal until a steamer would carry
them back to America. October 20,
they arrived on a White Star liner, the
Cretic and on their return they sighted
no submarines not even a periscope.
Never again." said Mr.. Reid, 81 still
can feel the cold water. Mr.. Reid is
surely kept busy relating his exper-
fence and needless to say how much
enjoyed having visit with him.
Best wishes to ALL
Duke, the Sea-going Sailor.

MAY INSTALL
PEA MACHINERY

The stockholders of the Lancaster
Canning company will hold a meeting
at the country club hooms on Friday
of this week. At that time the ques-
ton of installing pea canning out
fit in the factory will come up for
discussion. The Cassville factory is
installing the pea line and those in
terested believe Lancaster should do
the same. ,5.
1t is thought the gross receipts
from the factory this year will be
about $4,000. The actual amount
cannot be determined until the fede-
raj government takes the corn it has
requisitioned at the warehouse. 1t
is thought that six per cent dividend,
$4,000 sinking fund and about 81 per
ton bonus for the farmers will be real
lied this year.

SOLDIERS XMAS FUND.
RURAL SCHOOLS OF COUNTY CON.
TRIBUTE TO MAKE BOYS A
HAPPY DAY-NEED MORE

The Grant county soldiers and Sail
ors Christmas fund being raised
now totals more than $1O0 but at
least $500 will be needed to go around
among the pupils of the rural schools
The funds raised will be divided
equally between the boys represent
ing this county under the flag. Mr.
Bray would like to hear at once from
every newspaper of the county with a
list of the boys in service from their
respective districts.
In some respects the raising of the
fund has been encouraging and in
others very disappointing. One dis
trict, one of the largest in the county
by the way, sends in the sum of $40.
The teacher in her letter says that
she received no encOura cement to
speak of from the parents in this dis
trict althO all are well-to-do. Many
OF them have refused to sign the food
pledge
But another little school and this,
by the way, is one of the smallest in
the county, sends in a check for $4125.
This is what the teacher says:
Dear Mr.. Bray: Enclosed is a
money order for $4125. This is the
warn CnlS 10 Cno cOmmlCCoo having
result of an entertainment and social
given last Saturday night. Please for
charge of the Christmas fund for the
Grant county soldiers.
Very respectfully,
Edith Brown. teacher

hills. Poor but seemingly full of pa
triotism and helpfulness. Our hat
off to you Muscoda, No. 2.

COLLISION AT CUBA CITY.

The south-bound passenger had a
head-on collision with a Ford car, on
Tuesday noon, on the crossing at the
Dewey hotel.
The occupants of the car were Mr.
and Mrs. James Horse1y and son,
Dale, Mrs. Arthur Rabbit and Miss
Rena Cross. The car was driven by
Dale and he and the other occupants
claim that the engineer failed to
whistle. Employees of the road, how
ever, give the opposite as the case.
The auto was headed north and was
struck squarely in the body and was
carried a considerable distance on the
cowcatcher of the locomotive.
AS the auto had the side curtains
on, the occupants were unable to get
out and probably luckily so. They
were none apparently seriously hurt
except Mrs. Rabbit who was on the
side of the car that was struck and
suffered dislocated hip and various
bruises.
