THRIFT STAMP IS SYMBOL
OF FAITH IN GOVERNMENT

+ Los ANGELES, March 9.-The
Thrift stamp and its relation to vic.
tory in the war have displaced in
part the usual display and bulletin ad.
vertising of some of the local business
firms, which have given their space to
help the campaign. Recently. a local
business house distributed several
thousand blotters, the printed matter
adjoining them being entirely devoted
to advancing the Thrift movement.
This blotter," said the article, lis
devoted to another aspect of our bust
ness which we usually refrain from
mentioning. We refer to our partner
ship with Uncle Sam. No, not war
contracts. Just 3 plain partnership
in which we all share-our duty to
help put the flag over the top.
Because we like our institutions
and our freedom, we want to keep
them from autocratic interference.
We know of no better way to accom-
plish this, if we can't fight the bat
ties, than to furnish the ammunition
you know how small change leaks
cut of your pocket You don't knew
whore it goes, but it goes. 1t is not
difficult to divert little of the stream
into Thrift Stamps
This is a rich and powerful nation.
yet, to date, it has not given one-tenth
as much in proportion to its popula-
ton as have nations which are small
er, weaker, and less prosperous. The
success of the war Is our business
and We are not accustomed to failing
in an undertaking to which we set our
lives and our fortunes"
Then the man VINO wrote the blot
ter, and who showed real surprise
when asked for permission to quote
his words, idealized the thrift stamp
as follows:
81 am symbol of faith
q represent the democracy of the
lcdSL anu greatest.
Il am the will of man against the
dominion of autocrats.
q am the ammunition of just
cause
q am the widows mite
Il represent the eager labor of lit
tie children.
q am the staunch, unfailing bulwark
Of the nation.
4 stand for the glory of the flag.
4 speak the love of my country.
q am economy.
self respect.
patriotism.

To Be
GIVEN FOR THE
BEST LOAN ADS

SAN FRANCISCO March 9.-Prizes
for advertising copy to be used in con-
nection with the advertising of the
third Liberty loan have been announc-
cd by the Liberty loan general pub
LEFTY committee Eight full page ad-
vertisments for newspapers are want
ed and $25 will be given the author of
each of the eight ads accepted.
The contest is limited to the seven
states of the Twelfth federal reserve
district.
The generic ideas laid down by the
committee, and to which each ad-
rertisement should conform follow:
l. German Frightfulness-show in
symbolic or specific aspect-and the
need of wiping it out for all time.
without the money to do it we might
Us well accept German barbarity and
the new and permanent standard of
existence.
,. A Liberty Loan Subscriptions
one of the real tests to show the pa
triOtism of foreign-born American citi-
zens-particuIarly the German-Ameri-
tan. A citizen is either patriot or a
traitor. He must subscribe to prove
his status.
8 Germany Levying Tribute Here
you may assume the kaiser satanicalIy
triumphant making us pay his war
costs-the United States at the mercy
of the destructive and maleficent
German ideas of conquest and subju-
cation 1t is needless to say that this
must not be. Not cent for tribute
billions for the determination of kai-
serism with its shadow over American
Liberty.
1. Money for Munitions. Food and
Equipment Our men and our allies
must have equipment and food to sus-
tain them and munitions to fight with
The Liberty loan is a premium paid
1or decency and patriotism by a gov
eminent that allows its citizens the
4NOSI SECURE Oh investments.
). Money for Ships What boots
il if we raise a million men, produce
nillions of tons of ammunition and
billions of tons of food if we haven't
the ships to transport them to the seat
of war. Before we can get our ships
We must have the money to build
them.
s. Two Kinds of Giving A Liberty
Joan does not even take toll from the
miser-the man whose only God is
money 1t gives him in return more
Shan money-the worth of his money
with the greatest of all security. Con
trast this with the mother or father
who cheerfully and willingly give their
sons to fight the great battle for world
vide peace.
7. Stars of Service There is a
Liberty loan service flag in the heart
of everyone who owns a Liberty bond.
Every additional Liberty bond you buy
is an additional star of service indi-
eating to your country and fellOwmen
that you too are taking part in this
fight for protection of the home, and
Your country.
8. An Enduring Peace. America
must stand for an enduring peace and
self respect. We must realize that
we are nation facing the sun with
the right to live in lasting peace and
honor. The whole civilized world
voices our opinion. If we are to raise
cur heads high we must be heart and
soul in the great cause. Money is
needed to do the things that will en-
able our men and our allies to make
abe fight for everlasting peace.

BIG FLOUR MILL LOSES
ITS FEDERAL LICENSE
Food Administration Action in
Case Of Gambrill Company Is
Due to Lack of Reports.

Failure to make the necessary reports
to the United States Food Administra-
ton has resulted in the revocation of
the operating license of the C. A.
GambrilI Manufacturing Company,
the largest houF-mill enterprise in
Maryland. which operates the Pataps-
co Mills At Ellicott City. The revo-
cation becomes effective September
Is and is for an indefinite period.
According to announcement by the
food administration this company had
been in difficulties with the admins
tration for some time as to filing re-
ports. At a hearing in WASHINGTON
two weeks ago, the administration
contends, it was established beyond
a question that the reports furnished
by this mill were erroneous. not
but even after specific warnings by
the administration. This fact was
even admitted by representative of
the mill at the hearing.
The reports are those required of
all the mills throughout the country
and are intended to furnish a basis
for accounting to tho government
for profits, II any, made in excess of
those allowed in the manufacture of
wheat flour.
The company claims it has made no
profits in excess Of the amount al
lowable. The food administration
takes no position whatever on this
point, but has penalixed the company
simply because there IL no excuse for
its failure to revise its accounts in
accordance with instructions.
