SMILEAGE BOOKS WILL
MAKE THE BOYS GRIN
Friends of Boys at Front Will Help
to Provide for Their Entertain
ment

The campaign is on this week to
sell "Smileage Books" and many Of
them have already been bought by
people Of Morris. Mr.. F. A. Hancock
county vice president of the America
First Association, has charge Of the
campaign here and he called meet
ing of the business men at the Club
Rooms Monday afternoon and ex-
planned the purpose Of the books and
asked the help of those present in
disposing of them. Nearly every
man present took five of the books
and it is expected they will all be
sold by Saturday night. Those who
buy the books can either send them
to their soldier friends or hand
them to Mr.. Hancock or Mr.. Stever,
who will see that they are properly
forwarded. The books are only good
for the boys in the camps of this
country and not for those across the
water.
The idea of the "Smileage Book
is to furnish every boy in camp the
wherewithall to secure admission to
the entertainments provided by the
War Department at the Liberty
Theatres. These theatres are main
tanned within the camp, furnishing
the best musical, vaudeville and the
atrical talent to be found. Lectures
of highest excellence are secured for
these play houses and at prices rang
ing from only ten cents to quarter.
Thousands of the boys are sending
home practically all their pay, SO by
one of these little coupon
books you are giving him healthful
besides furnishing him
with a constant reminder of the in
terest shown by the folks at home
for the boy at the front.

EVERY ACRE OF LAND
SHOULD PRODUCE CROP
Stevens County Could Raise Many
Extra Bushels Of Grain During
1918

Stevens county has between O,00C
and $4,000 acres of land lying idle
that should be farmed, practically al
of which is owned by non-residents
Most of this land has been under
cultivation at one time but on ac-
count of the owners living so fa1
away it has not had the proper at
tention and in some cases has been
allowed to grow nothing but weeds.
Some of this land has been put in by
local farmers, who attempted to cut
livate it, but they have generally had
all they could do to take care of their
own land and have neglected the
other
On account of the past few wet
years the land, not being tiled, has
drowned out the crop and this has
discouraged anyone from trying to
plant it.
In a talk with Mr.. Harry Adams
of the Adams Land Company he says
that this land is in excellent shape to
be farmed this year on account of
the dry fall and it should produce a
good crop. Mr.. Adams further says:
II believe it is a patriotic duty to see
that this land is planted to crop this
year, as it is necessary that every
foot of land be used in order to furn-
ish food for the people of this coun-
try and the fighting men,"
II believe that if this matter was
properly handled by some local COM
mittee or club this land could all be
farmed this year. I also believe that
the owners would tile the land if
they had the matter brought to their
attention and explained in the proper
way. In order to raise a good crop it
is necessary to have the proper mois-
ture and the cost of tiling is nothing
compared to the raise that the land
would take Immediately afterward. In
Iowa and Illinois most of the land
is tiled and it now sells for $500 an
acre. People of this county should
not kick if they have to do some TIL
ing, as it is the only way to get the
proper results in farming. Thing
not only makes it possible to get in
to the fields earlier in the spring,
but it also makes it possible to stay
in the fields later each fall, as the
land keeps warmer"
''L. C. Dorweiler, of Chokio, made
personal appeal to several land
owners around Chokio, telling them
of the advantage in having their
land tiled, with the result that many
farms have been tiled and one man in
Baker township raised 81 bushels of
oats per acre the first year after
tiling."
''The first step to take to get this
land back into cultivation would be
to have a committee write to the
owners and tell them thatcit is their
patriotic duty to have this land
farmed and / am quite sure that
there is law prohibiting land to
grow to noxious weeds 1t should be
suggested to them that they might
get people with tractors to farm the
land. The next step would be to find
out how many men in this vicinity
have tractors that they can use to
plow the land with, and if there are
not enough there might be some men
who would buy tractors If they were
assured of work to keep them busy"
II believe that the land owners
would welcome this move and be glad
to pay well for having the work
done, as they will be making good
money and at the same time helping
their country"

HUGE SHORTAGE OF FATS
DEMANDS GREAT SAVING

Three billion pounds shortage is
Herbert Hoover's estimate of the
world supply of fats. This means,
says Miss Gladys Stillman home econ
omics extension worker, that the big
need of conservation is on fats. She
suggests as ways of saving fats:
Make little pastry and make only
one crust pies.
Do no deep fat frying.
Make meat loaf instead of GRO
quotes or bake in an oven instead
of frying them.
Use the minimum amount of fat
in mullins and cakes.
Make soap of fats not disable for
cooking purposes.
Melt soap in little water and then
use it for washing dishes and Doiling
clothes instead of putting the soap
directly in the water.
Be especially careful not to waste
any small pieces of soap but melt them
and use for dish washing and laun-
dry purposes.

MEMORIAL INSTITUTION
FOR LINCOLN COUNTY

Every county and city in the land
are casting about considering what
they best can do to perpetuate the
memory of their brave soldiers and
sailoTs-for those who fought and
died aid to those who fought and are
living. All kinds of ideas are advanc-
ed, some want enduring monuments;
others want memorial buildings such
as a club, hospital, Y. NJ. c. A, or
some other necessary institution which
viii be of great value to q city. At
Merrill it is planned to have a "Liber-
ty Club" With reference to this,
Judge A. H. Reid writes to the Mer-
rill Herald as follows:
1T is fortunate that you can make
the club memorial institution for
the nations heroes who came from
Lincoln county, and gave their lives
to us all; and at the same time make
it the city's home, to which the re-
turning soldiers and sailors can be
welcomed, and in which they will al
ways be welcomed without charge for
membership or support. The club of
course, would be depositary for all
sorts of mementoes of the war and
particularly of the men for whom it
is to be monument.
"All cities are just now planning for
some memorial for their soldier and
sailor dead. Wausau is considering
the construction of an armory, with
social facilities, and Rhinelander has
opened discussion on the question
whether their memorial shall be a
hospital, Y. M. c. A building, or
some other institution which will fill
civic need. Something of real ser
vice to the community may more fit
tingly serve as a memorial for the
hero dead than can any cold, stone
monument, and it can be made in
creasingly interesting by continually
adding mementoes of the heroes and
by making it the rallying point of
your boys who come home"
In Wausau nothing, as yet, has been
decided upon. Committees have been
appointed by the county, city and
many institutions of our city, and soon
something fitting will be decided upon.
1t will be well to weigh what Judge
Reid has had to say 70 the people of

HOLD TIGHT TO YOUR
LIBERTY BONDS,

Hold tight to your Liberty bonds:
they are the best investment in the
world. Don't let anyone induce you
to sell them or trade them in for some
other so-called security Keep your
Liberty bonds and your Liberty bonds
will keep you"
The foregoing in erect sums up thu
warning and request, issued to every
bondholder in the United States
| through message to the head of the
Seventh Federal Reserve Liberty Loan
Organization in Chicago, from William
G. McAdoo, then secretary of the
treasury and which, Il is hoped, will
| accomplish its purpose through dis
semination by the press.
The full text of the message follows:
Hold your Liberty bonds-first. be-
cause they are the best investment in
the world, backed by every resource
in the United States, and also because
you have made sacrifices in order to
buy them. Why turn over to some
one else the contract you have entered
into with the government.
Hold them because though the war
may be over, it has not yet been paid
for. The treasury department must
soon issue more bonds, the fifth loan
being planned for next April. Every
sale now made by you makes future
government issues more difficult and
more expensive. This expense must
be borne by the people of the United
States-therefore, why add to the all
Nv lor hVr Al
taxpayers of the country?
Hold them because the time mayi
come when such an investment mayl
prove to be a true friend in time of
need-a guarantee against the fearl
of debt and insurance, against reall
hardship.
Hold them because the need forl
saving is not over. Government ex-l
penses are today larger than at anyl
time during the war. Our bravel
boys in Germanys and France and
Russia must be paid and fed andl
clothed and, when their work is over,
transported home-back onto Ameri-s
can soil. They have not quit. Why.
should you?
"Hold your Liberty bonds instead.
of exchanging them for some other.
so-called security because you know.
the security of your United States
bond and often cannot know theI
worth of what is offered in exchange. ]
The get-rich-quick crook is ready to !
steal your bonds away from you at the
first opportunity. Don't let him, J
Don't be swindled out of your bonds.
Hold them because of the interest
they pay, because it is good business
to do so. What good will the idle.
