Public Urged to Use
Stamps of Highest
Denomination as Saving

The public is urged to use stamps
of highest denomination by Postmas-
ter Sites as an economy step.
"As means of economy postmasters
and post office employees are directed
to encourage the public to use stamps
of the highest denominations suited
to the amount OF postage required on
all mail" Mr.. Sites says. For ex-
ample, a two-cent stamp instead OF
two one-cent stamps should be af-
hXed TO letters. needing two cents
postage; and q ten-cent stamp instead
of five two-cent should be attached to
parcels requiring ten cents postage.
Cooperation between post office en-
ployes and the public in the sale and
use of stamps of the highest denomi
nation will effect a large saving to
the Government in the cost of produc-
ing, transporting and canceling them
and will benefit the public in ,minim-
iZing the number of stamps handled
and affixed to mail This benefit. will
be especially important to business
concerns mailing large quantities OF
letters and parcels"

DIR. SCHAEFFER
SENDS LETTERS
Calls Attention of Educators
to Hoover Plan For Food
Saving

DR.. Nathan c. Schaeffer, state su-
perintendent of public instruction,
has sent a letter to the. superinten-
dent of every school district, city and
county, included, calling attention TO
the campaign inaugurated by Her
bert Hoover for the enrolment of
all women in a great national food
saving army. The enrolment, he
says, is to be made, if possible, be-
tween July l and July 16.
The enrolment is to be made by
women who will sign upon cards
their willingness to eliminate waste
in households and agree to follow
suggestions of the state committed s
department of food supply. DR..
Schaeffer's letter asks that all school
boards cooperate with the state
committee and that meetings be
held to further the plan.
Another suggestion is that cards
be. left at every home by volunteer
committees and that where people
are harvesting it be made as soon
after as possible. Cooperation, he
writes, will not only save expense in
administration, but be of vast help
to the nation.

Economy of Food Supplies
Is Main Consideration

That National dealers can be of
national service by avoiding false
economy is the keynote of an i'm
portant bulletin just sent out by
National Motor Car and Vehicle Cor
poration.
Lets put our foot on false econ
cmy. Going shabby by those of us
who habitually dress well ana can
afford it, is not going to help make
more guns and ammunition" advises
Dickson.
President Wilson's address advo-
Gated strict economy, and rightly so,
in the way of foods. Foods are de-
pendent on nature and the elements
and therefore the yield is problematic.
But not so of manufactured articles
which can be made in limitless guam
titles.
Many individuals may unwittingly
make the mistake of thinking that
because of the caution against vast
ing foodstuffs, that it would be pa
triotic to also economize in the buy
ing of all other commodities. Moth
ing could be more foolhardy and
nothing would bring about depress-
ing conditions quicker.
Let us learn to judge the differ
ence between false and true economy.
To do without manufactured articles.
the basis of all business and pros
perit, is certainly false economy. Any
one attemting such a course will
which we are all striving.
So far as the National Motor Car
and Vehicle Corporation is concern
ed. 1t is planning to go ahead full
many men as possible. July l starts
a new business year with the Ma
tional factory. At a recent meeting
of the National officers and directors.
definite plans were made for increas-
ing production to the maximum for
the incoming year."

which she had not mailed. 1t ex-
planned her reason for murder:
You must have known for a long
time that your husbands affections
had passed from you; that he cared
for some one else. That Is sufficient
annulment of any marriage vow that
ever was given.
THAT is the way you respectable
folk-good moral women do
things in order to keep your reputa-
ton and live lives of ease.
I'm the eternal triangle our souls
require the elimination of one char
acter. The two who should remain
are the two whose affection is mu-
tual. VIII you some time read Ellen

HEAVY MISTS CAUSE
MANY AUTO ACCIDENTS
Bert Hollenbeck Answers S. o. S.
Call and Then Plunges into
Steep Bank

The heavy mists that enshrouded
Morris and vicinity Saturday and
Sunday evenings we're the direct
cause of a number of auto accidents.
Fortunately none of these accidents
resulted in serious injury to any per-
son.
Bert Hollenbeck had perhaps the
most misfortune of any of the per-
sons connected with the different
auto collisions or accidents. Sunday,
in answer to a call from George
Clark of Morris, who had his buggy
badly smashed when Chris Plucker,
living north of Chokio, drove an
auto accidently into the back of it,
Mr.. Hollenbeck drove to the scene of
the accident a short distance north
of Alberta. He had picked up Mr..
Clark and was just starting for Nor
ris, when in rounding a turn he
smashed into the bank at the side
of the road. The turn was so sharp
that he was not able to turn the car
quick enough to make it safely. The
front axle Of the auto was badly
bent, the front springs we're broken
and the wheel was twisted from the
axle. 1t required four horse team
to pull the automobile back to Nor
ris.
The cars of James Griffith and
George Hagerman collided just out
side of the city limits on the Han
cock road Sunday night. The road
is quite narOrw at the place where
the accident occurred and the heavy
fog made the distance between the
cars deceptive and one of the front
wheels of Mr.. Hagerman's car was
torn from the axle The fender and
running board we're also badly
smashed. Mr.. Griff1th's car was go
ing the faster and plunged on into
the ditch. The car was left there
for two days before it was hauled
to town. The front part of the car,
one of the lights and one of the
wheels were badly smashed up.
G. A. Anderson, living north of
Chokio, said that there was five cars
piled up together Monday on the
road between Starbuck and Glen
wood. The owners of the cars nor
the reasons for accidents were not
known to Mr.. Anderson.

K. C,'s Will Raise Fund

The knights of Columbus are
raising a national fund for the pur-
pose Of safeguarding the moral and
social welfare of the men in the I'm
tied States army, and like the Y. M.
G. A., have found that the work will
call for a much larger supply of
funds than was at first thought nee
cessary. st. Edwards Council of the
knights of Columbus have been
asked to raise $4,000 as their quota,
which will be about $40 per member.
The local council responded hand
somely to the first call that was sent
out for this noble work, and expects
to meet its full quota of this call.
A committee will shortly canvass
the members in the interest of this
fund.
Joseph Murphy of Minneapolis,
made an eloquent plea for the K. c.
fund at an enthusiastic meeting at
the Orpheum last evening.

ED. PETERSON WRITES
OF CAMP DODGE LIFE
The Gloom of the First Few Days
Has Been Dispelled-Sees Other
Morris Boys

Thru the courtesy of one of the
Tribune's readers, we are enabled to
print a letter from Ed. Peterson, of
the Morris boys now in the Camp
Dodge cantonment. The letter from
Ed. gives an interesting and clear
insight to the conditions at Camp
Dodge. We are glad to learn from
the letter that all of the boys are
very we'll satisfied with the camp
life and that their mess and clothing
allowances and other comforts have
all been looked after.
The letter from Mr.. Peterson is
as follows:
eve just had our eats of roast
pork, mashed potatoes, celery, olives,
bread and coffee. A lot better than
we had when we arrived here. They
don't know what butter is around
here, although we get (Olemargar-
ine) about twice a week. We each
have a bunk of our own, of course,
and there are $50 Of them in each
barrack. Quite a bunch Of men in
one building, don't you think? This
life is line and DANDY, II man only
looks at it the right way. am feel
ing just right and enjoy army life
so far.
1--WE play football, baseball and
have books to read and also have a
piano in our barracks And then
lots of the lads have violins, banjos
and other instruments, which they
are playing nearly all the time. So
you see we have plenty Of music here
and you know that music hath
charms. We drill from $50 to
1870 and form 1:1O to 4:3O except
ing Wednesday and Saturday after
moons and Sundays.
