A LETTER ITO ANY SOLDIER
% SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE,

Mrs. Belle Sanders -Geddinqs ..
one time resident of this county
and contributor to the New Era
mas contributed the following Christ
mas letter to Amy Soldier" Soma
where in France"
Dear Soldier Brother-I wish
you a very Merry Christmas. Yom
are the first on the list wben wo
thlnk Of Christmas, not alone he.
cause we must send yours first, hay-
ihe farther to go, but because Won
are hrst in our thoughts anyhow,
Ihen' too, wherever we go we are
reminded of you. Scarcely home
IN the land but displays the Stars
and Stripes, while the business
houses unfurl to the breeze the flags
OF all the allied nations. But the
one every where most priced and
piacd most prominent is the service
nag. 1t is the pride of every insti
tuition. AT church 1t is the central
hgure, a silent witness to all who
enter the sanctuary Of the honored
ones. the bravest and best, who have
gone to follow Old Glory.
THE food administration card Is
another constant reminder of YOU
and of our duty to you, and the in
struction card on the kitchen wall
tells us how to perform that duty
three times day. Hardly a woman
on American soil who presides over a
frying pan but has signed the pledge
to promptly obey all orders from the
food administration. Some of us are
saying 1t is all notion, anyhow, hav-
ing so much to eat.
I'VE are having meattess days and
wheatless days. and II 1t should be
needed we will gladly have eatless
days. shouting still The Stars and
Stripes Forever and 'Hurrah For
Our Soldier BOys!' How we wish
we might cheer loud enough 4for
You to hear and be encouraged and
strengthened in the crucial houl.
God bless you! We are proud Of you
and grateful for you, as we'll as to
you. and are doing all we can to
help the organizations which stand
behind you. from the national gov
ernment down. but only you can go
over the top-top of everything but
the sky, carrying Liberty and Free
dom to all the world. May tho
Author of the things you are fight
ing for fiji your heart with all joI
on this day we keep for Him."

CHEAPER coRNMEAL

Cornmeal has been higher than
wheat ncur. That IL because the
corn which tho millers have been get.
ting has cost them more than wheat.
The Colorado millers have had to i'm.
port corn suitable for meal from. st.
Louis and other eastern markets. It
cost $4.OO per 100 pounds in Dem
yer. This made the cOrnmeal cost
$3.50 per 100 pounds, as against
$500 per 10 pounds for flour. The
tD17 crop Is now available and suit
able for meal and thus the price will
or should soon he reduced and re-
licvc the situation. Then we can
better live up to the whcatless meals
and wheatless days.

THRIFT STAMP PLAN
WILL MAKE MONEY GROW

Crowley county's war savings
stamp campaign has been started and
with vigorous meeting held on Fri
day night of last week, headed by M.
T. Nelson, the county chairman of the
Thrift Campaign, and S. P. Ilgen-
fritz. postmaster, the campaign was
launched. About ten members of the
committee from over the county were
present.
The savings stamp idea is a won
derfully good one and is strictly an
American plan Of raising money, per-
haps to the extent or of $2,0O0,O0O.
1t is plan whereby those who have
small amounts they desire to save
may loan the amounts from time to
time to Uncle Sam and receive in
terest on the money at the rate of
per cent interest. Anyone may start
his savings plan with as small an
amount as 25 cents and no one can
put in more than $1,000.
An unusual point about the IS
War Savings Stamp is that they are
non-transferable. A citizen will be
saving his own money for himself
and loaning it to the government
He will not even be able to borrow
money on it. altho he will be able to
get the money when he needs 1t
sorely.
Moreover. he will not have to pay
IS for it. In December and January
he will only pay s4.12; in February
he will pay Sab; and each month
thereafter during 1918 he will pay
one cent more. II he keeps the stamp
until January, 1923, the government
will pay him SIS for it. The differ
ence between what he pays and what
he gets for it will be per cent in
terest compound.
The thrift stamps will cost rs
cents. When a girl has saved six
ten, or 81 worth. she will be able to
exchange them for a War Savings
Stamp by adding a few pennies.
