GIVE THRIFT STAMPS
WAR SAVINGS CERTIFICATES FOR
CHRISTMAS PRESENTS.
school Children to Be Leading Factor
In Sale Of Popular Stamps in
Colorado.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Denver.-War savings certificates
and thrift stamps as Christmas gifts
from employers to those in their en-
ploy is the plan of John Evans. direc-
tor of the certificate and stamp cam
paign for the state of Colorado, and
Harry C. James. director for Denver
county. Under their plan, II allowed.
nearly 10 per cent of Denvers quota
OF $6,200.Q00 can be raised, as 1t is
estimated that in this city during the
last few years the Christmas distribu-
tion by employers has averaged more
than 100000. This would start Den
ver's drive off with boom, as the
city would then have twelve months
in which to raise the balance OF its
quota
That the school children OF the
state are to be a leading factor in the
sale of the stamps and certificates is
evidenced by the manner in which
they are being organized by Mrs.
Mary C. c. Bradford, state superin-
tendent OF public schools
Mrs. Bradford is sending letters to
eacn county ScnOol superintendent
calling their attention to the thrift
ntamps and requesting their assist
ance In aiding the sale OF the stamps
and certificates. She will also send
letters TO each school principal in the
state and to each teacher, impressing
upon them the Importance of having
the school children become creditors
of Uncle Sam by purchasing thrift
stamps. In addition to the letters,
Mrs Bradford will send to each teach
er folders for distribution among tho
pupils. The folders were written by
Secretary OF the Treasury McAdoo. In
them he tells the children how to earn
money with which to buy thrift
stamps, after little story on patriot
ism.
In addition, each teacher will re-
ceive a folder covering plans for or
ganization for war savings societies
for pupils. The Boy Scouts will be
called on to aid in this great Baby
Bond sale, both through the schools
and through their own organization.

war work cause last week totaled Mon

very best results possible. The local
committee took up the work with the
earnestness and enthusiasm that the
cause merited with the above result.
We believe everybody will be pleased
with Jasper's showing. The following
is list of the subscribers, which is
printed not so much to give public
credit as it is in the nature of a receipt,
the committee having had to work so
hurriedly that in most cases receipts
were not given. II anyone's name is
