THE SERVICE FLAG

Service flags, which already honor the men who have answered the nations call to the coors, havq special token for the killed.
 The plan is to superimpOse smaller white star upon the blue service star to indicate the supreme sacrifice The border of the blue star will outline the white star It intended to have circle of black around the blue star. This abandoned.
 The service flag comes from Ohio. It was invented last summer by Robert L. Quiesser of Cleveland, whO now is captain in the Fifth Ohio infantry.
 Captain Quiesser has two sons in the army and in- vented the flag when they called to duty. The idea became very popular in Cleveland and soon spread through the country. bill is pending in Congress to have the service flag adopted officially.

WAR-SAVINGS PLAN WITH THRIFT STAMPS
 This week therewas put into operation the plan of an Act passed in Congress, September 24. By this plan, funds for will be derived in small amounts. The government issues two denominations of certificates showing indebtedness. These known thrift stamps" and "war-savings stamps"
 The thrift stamps cost twenty-five cents each. They are purchasable at any pOstOffice bank and in the of short time, will be sale at many other places such schools stores and railroad sta tiOns. When a person buys his first thrift stamp he is given thrift card" with spaces for affixing stamps. When the spaces thus filed the card may be exchanged for war-savinga stamp by pay ing a few cents more, the war-savings stamp being redeemable January 1, 1923, at five dollars. These latter stamps calculated to run from January 2, 191S and to bear interest as per cent compounded quarterly. Until February l, 1918, the warsavings stamp will twelve cents in addition to the thrift card; and it will cent for each succeed ing month in the year 1918.
 Again, these war-saYings stamps are to be affixed to "war-savings certificate% which contains spaces for twenty such stamps. If a certificate be pur- chased during December January, it's cost wif be $82.4O, or twenty times S412 The certificates ture January l. 1923, aS S1OO each, thus netting the purchaser $17.60.
 Provision is made whereby, although none of these investments mature prior to 1928, any of them may be redeemed by pOstmasters, upon ten days notice, at their actual cost plus cent month for each war-savings stamp.
 This scheme provides opportunity for people of small means to do their bit periodically while at the same time exercising thrift the result of which will be appreciated later. The capital that Uncle Sam will collect for war purposes through this plan will probably be enormous.
 The plan will be explained to you by Judge John A. Ellis, James A. Russell, postmaster at Chloride, or any postmaster or attorney in Mohave county, upon whom the wOuld-be purchaser is free to call
