INFORMATION AS
 TO WAR SAVINGS
Many Questions About Stamp Issue Are Explained in the
 Following Summary by R. L. Blakely, Director for Nevada.

R. L. Blakely, director for Nevada county of the War Savings Campaign which opened Saturday, has received a number of inquiries from persons not familiar with the governments combined thrift and loan method. Many questions about the stamp issue have been asked. Mir. Blakely sub mits the following six statements which will answer most of these ques- tions, listed as follows:
 l. The loan is in $5 denominations, and no one may purchase more than $1 ,000 worth. With the first $5 stamp bought the purchaser is given a cer- tifcate which has his name on it and spaces on which 20 stamps may be pasted.
 ?. The $5 stamps may be bought in December and January for $4.12 each. and one cent higher thereafter every month until December 31, 1922, the difference in price between the purchase price and the face value be- ing the accumulated interest for fire years. Thus 20 stamps bought in December or in January will cost the owner $S240, but will be worth $100 on Jan. ', 1923, the S17.6o difference representing the interest that has ac- cumulated during five years.
 8. The thrift stamps may be bought for 20 cents. They bear no interest and are only for the purpose of ac- cumulating funds for the purchase of the interest-bearing war service stamps.
 1. hTe war savings stamps may be cashed at any time before Jan 1, 1923, but in that case 10 days notice must be given and the owner will draw only per cent interest.
 3. When war savings stamps are purchased the owner is given the cer-

ACTING GOVERNOR REFUSED
 APPLICATIONS FOR PARDON

Little oRek, Dec. 4.-Acting Cover nor Lee Cazort yesterday refused all applications for pardon presented to him on the regular pardon day, six in all. He suspended for thirty days the sentence against Arthur Springer, of Logan county, who had been convicted of the illegal sale of liquor and sen- fenced to one year in the penitentiary. This will enable Gov. Trough to act upon it.

TO MEET ON COMMoNGRoUND
Vets of Union and Confederacy to
Reune at Vicksburg


The legislature was not given to ex-
travagance or the appropriation of
funds not necessary. Outside of es-
sentials it did make one levy which
will be sanctioned by every taxpayer.
All honorably discharged Union or
Confederate soldiers who participated
in the Vicksburg campaign may ENJOY
a visit to the old battle ground at
state expenses, next October. There
will be a reunion of the soldiers who
were in the campaign about that city
in 1868, commencing on October 18th,
and the present legislature appropri-
ated a sufficient sum to take the vet
Grams there, provide for their comfort
while there, and givethem fine time.
There were many Wisconsin regiments
in the Vicksburg seige. and there prob
ably are quite a number of veterans
who are still living. Everything pos
sible will be done to insure their COM
fort on the trip and doubtless there
will be many who will take advantage
of the opportunity. Applications for
transportation and accommodations
should be made to the Adjutant- Gen
erals department in due season.

A Resurrection That Counts

Wool is hight, worth sc cents pound
on the local market, and still some
say that the farmer is not making
money. Why. last Friday farmer
brought in a wool mattress that he had
used on his bed for q years and sold
it for $4,000. There is quite story
connected with this mattress. Twenty
one years ago this farmer kept sheep.
Wool was cheap at that time, about
Is cents a pound. Wool and sheep
being cheap. he sold his sheep and
took some of the wool he had left and
made it into a mattress. After using
the mattress on his bed for u years,
he was able to sell the wool therefrom
last Friday for forty dollars. This is
not a fish story for it can be substan-
tiated by the Vernon County Milling
Co., to whom the wool was sold. Hills

THE POSITION OF TWO
GREAT AMERICANS
WASHINGTON AND LINCOLN

W ash MUTTON AND LINCOLN
WERE ..MILITARISTS"
Womans Home Companion: Wash
ington did not want to hght. yet he
preferred fighting to dishonor He
could have avoided lighting. But he
was wise enough to see that it was
not in money that England wanted
the colonies to pay-for money she did
not need but independence, and hon
or, and their troublesome habit Of
self-respect. Rather than surrender
these, Washington became 'militar-
ist.'
Lincoln was a 'militarist. He went
to war when il could have been avoid
ed. All the south asked for was the
chance to secede peaceably with its
slaves. There were many influential
paci6sts in the north who seconded
their desire. Lincoln did not agree.
Almost anything was preferable TO
war, he believed. And in his desper-
ate desire for peace he suffered delay
after DELAY IL actual preparation for
war, hoping to the very end for peace
But once the war was started. Lin
coin refused to conclude a peace inse-
cure and compromising. I'VE must
hurt this enemy" he cried, "before it
goes away. And again:
"We accepted this war for an OBJ
ject a worthy object, and the war
will end when that object is attained.
Under God | hope it will never end
until that time
Lincoln was militarist. He insist
ed on continuing d war when he might
have had peace-at a price.

Answer to the Kaiser's Prayer
Sir Kaiser ! am sorry

Sir Kaiser ] am sorry
| cannot grant your prayer,
The reason Is so plainly seen
From here If not from there,
You slaughtered those poor Belgians
Who had done you no harm,
You burned their homes and children
And ruind all their farms,
You humbled poor old Johnny Bull,
And sunk his battle ships.
Killed many thousand Frenchmen
And licked y,ur bloody lips.
But say Sir Kaiser William
You sure did strike saag.
When you tackled my Son Sammie
And then began to brag
That you would make him pay for all
Because he has the gold,
But pride goeth before a fall
la the good book YOU are told.
You ask me to help you now,
To whip my favorite child,
What has he ever done TO YOU
To make you act so wild?
Is it because he stands for love
And friendship to the end.
OR that ne wants democracy
To rule the hearts Of men?
! helped him twice lick Johnny Bull
And naughty Spaniards too.
So now | think its Just the time
helped him to lick you.
When My Son Sam gets thru with you,
haven't any doubt.
There's not enough OF your men left
To false decent shout.
You want To be the boss or, earth
But that is still my Job,
You've got to be put ont of biz
So the world you cannot rob.
So I'll whisper to Son Sammie
Some secrets that | know,
And to 'Davie Jones Locker
Your submarines will 70.
I've thought Of Just the Place for you
And it will suit you we'll
I'll give the Devil another lob.
And make YOU the boss OF HI.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
Influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Medicine is taken internally and
acts thru the Blood on the Mucous Sur
faces of the System thereby destroying
the foundation of the disease, giving the
patient strength by building up the con-
stitution and assisting nature in doing it's
work. The P-oprietors have so much

to cure. Send for list Of testimonials.
