Do YOU remember, when you were
child and went to Sunday school
how for every attendance you received
a small card, and when you had ten
YOU exchanged them for one large
card, which in turn at the end of a
specified time was exchanged for a
prize of some kind, perhaps a story
book or a Bible?
The postoffice and the banks are
selling the thrift stamps issued by
Uncle Sam, which are somewhat along
this line and offer a practical means
of investing small savings that is with
in the reach of almost every person.
These stamps sell for Is cents and
sixteen of them fill the card given
with the purchase of the first stamp.
When the card is filled, by paying a
few cents additional, II cents until
January 1, 1918, % cents if not ex-
changed before December, 1918, de-
pending on the month in which the
card is brought in, the sixteen stamps,
for which was paid rs cents each. or
$500, will be exchanged for a $500
certificate stamp. This may be re-
peated as often as one likes or can
afford, and when one has twenty of
the So certificates they may be ex-
changed for a 500 bond. The thrift
stamp bears no interest, but the IS
certificate stamps bring 4 per cent,
compounded quarterly, paid by the
government. The reason the IS war
savings certificate stamp is given in
exchange for $500 and a few cents
additional is that the money invested
will have earned that sum by January
1, 1928, when the stamps are redeem
able by the government.
If at any time it is wished to cash
in the war-savings stamps, upon in
forming the postmaster, or any au-
thorized agent for the government, ten
days in advance, he will refund the
money and pay per cent interest for
the time Uncle Sam has had the use
of it.

ever, the services of Miss Spor-

Miss Spor1eder will relieve Mrs.

songs were sung and several i'm

To Eradicate Loco Weed.

Efforts are being made by J. K.
Campbell, a brother of Gov. Tom
Campbell, and other cattlemen of
the upper Verde valley, to have the
United States department of agri-
culture undertake the eradication
of the loco weed.
The loco weed is taking the up
per Verde, which was one of the
best stock ranges in the state few
years ago. 1t is hardly perennial
which is green and luxurient when
other range plants are dead. Stock
find it appetizing fodder, but after
COW or horse feeds on loco weed a
few days they go crazy, lose weight
and unless placed where they can
not eat it, eventually die.
There is so much loco weed on
the upper verde that Campbell, who
is superintendent of the Del Ric
Cattle Company, is now feeding
100 head of cattle inside. The sit
uation is sure to be even more ser
ious in early spring when loco will
be the only green range feed.
Various efforts have been made
