What a Thrift Stamp Buys.

Back of all the work of the cam
paign for War Savings, being CON
Quoted throughout the entire state
this week, is the desire to convert
a spendthrift nation into a nation
of thrift and saving. The workers
engaged in this campaign are,
therefore, performing not only
patriotic duty but are sowing seeds
of thrift that in years to come will
yield golden harvest.
The average business man is
much inclined to undervalue the
penny, and even the twenty five
cent piece. 1t is the big things that
appeal more strongly to all. To sell
a 25c Thrift Stamp seems small,
but that the results are of vital inn
portance is evidenced by a report
issued by the War Department in
regard to what may be purchased
by the proceeds of the sale of Thrift
and War Savings Stamps, as fol-
lows:
A single Thrift Stamps cents
will buy tent pole or five tent
pins, a waist belt or hat cord, shoe
laces and Identification tags; two
Thrift Stamps will buy one trench
tool, one pair of woolen gloves;
four Thrift Stamps will buy two
pairs of canvas leggings; six Thrift
Stamps 81. 50-will buy FIVE pairs
of WOODEN socks. three pairs sum-
mer drawers, summer undershirts;
II Thrift Stamps will buy steel
helmet to protect some soldier at
the front; one War Savings Stamp
will buy 100 cartridges, another
will buy cartridge belt. a scab-
bard for a bayonet; four War Saw
ings Stamps will buy a rifle for
some soldier at the front fighting
for the cause of liberty; three and
one half War Savings Stamps will
buy three pairs of woolen blankets
for the comfort of the man in the
trench, and two and one-half War
Savings Stamps will buy a gas mask
for the protection of some mother s
boy from the deadly attack of gas;
three War Savings Stamps will buy
an overcoat or two WOODEN service
coats. Two War Savings Stamps
will purchase two pairs of woolen
breeches or two flannel shirts.

SECURE FUEL WOOD NOW
FOR USE NEXT WINTER.
Increasing Scarcity of Coal May Ne
cessitate Use of Wood Entirely
for Fuel Next Winter.

That the people of Iron county
may be compelled to use wood en-
tirely for fuel next winter is a
probability, and to be prepared for
such contingency the local fuel
administration board is urging the
people of Iron county to secure
their next winters supply of wood
before this winters sleighing is
over. Coal is getting scarcer and it
is possible that next winter there
will be none for use as fuel in Wis
consin. The local fuel administra-
ton board received the following
communication from State Fuel
Administrator Fitzgerald:
Feb. IA, 1918.
To County Fuel Administrators:
Gentlemen
Coal is scarce and getting scarcer
Wisconsin this year has suffered
brit little for the lack of coal but
we know of the intense suffering
that has occurred in other sections
of the country by reason of lack of
fuel. Wisconsin has been furnished
this year with a good supply of
coal. When the distribution is
made of the coal output for the
year 1918 we cannot tell now what
Wisconsin S share will be. Next
year we may be suffering in COM
mon with other sections of the
country. Now to safeguard our
people and prevent any possible
suffering next year for lack of fuel
let us get busy today, and tomor-
row and begin the campaign of cut
ting fuel wood with which our state
is so abundantly supplied. Now /
wish you would, within the next
day or two-at the earliest practic-
able date-call into conference, be-
sides your advisory committee rep

Thus Spoke A Voice From The
Past Concerning Facts
Which Are Even More
True Today

In the National Magazine, Boston,
Mass, about five years ago, was pub
lished an advertisement setting forth
the unparalleled possibilities of Nor.
gan City as fresh water port. There
IS. a growing tendency throughout the
nation, strongly endorsed by the gov
ernment to redevelop the water traf
fic of the country It remains only
for the country to become acquainted
with the facts enumerated in this ad
to insure the rapid development of
this community. 1t is phenomenally
blessed with all the essentials for a
growth which cannot be denied if
they are utilized.
A few weeks previous to the date
of ad publication the National Maga-
zine sent special writer here who
wrote quite an extensive article deal
ing with Morgan City and surround.
ing territory. This writeup was pub
lshed simultaneously with the ad.
The ad copy was written by Mr.. Jos.
L. Fisher and first published in The
Review. In the center of the ad the
words 'THE COMING PORT was
enclosed in a printers box. Mr.. Will
lard Ditch was secretary of the Board
of Trade at this time. The body Of
the advertisement ran as follows:
Morgan City is one of the fastest
growing communities in the State Of
Louisiana. And with good reason.
Situated in the very heart of the
sugar belt, eighty odd miles from the
City of New Orleans, with which it
has rail and waer connection, this
Ideally located port has direct COM

by way of the Atchafalaya river. It
will be one of the most important
connections on the interstate inland
channel that is now being construct
ed by the United States government.
Speaking at the recent Water
ways Congress of the possibilities Of
Morgan City as sea port, the COM
mander .of the United States gun
boat "Wheeling," which was one of
the vessels that represented the Navy
Department at Morgan City on that
occasion, said: 4 believe

story of an episode in the early days

NEW STAR DEEP SECRET.

Who is she?' is the question on
every tongue of the Los Angeles Film
colony And everyone Is busy trying
to guess and penetrate the mystery
that Jesse l.. Lasky, Vice President
of the Famous Players-La sky cor
poration brought with him when he
announced that Paramount would
shortly include among its stars
mysterious new faminine luminary
He refused to divulge the name
even among the heads of the depart
ment at the studio, consequently
everyone is guessing When ques-
toned as to the identity of the new
star, he merely looks mysterious and
refuse to say anything except that
he and Mr. Zukor are convinced that
they have made one of these 'one in
a million finds.
To be made a Paramount star is
no little distinction and one that Is
aspired to by all the screen lumin-
aries, SO naturally this young "un-
known" Is going to be carefully scrut-
inized and inspected; but Mr.. I1asky
is more than confident of his iudg-
ment.
