4 CHANCE FOR ALL TO SHOW
THEIR PATRIOTISM

Every man, woman and child in
the United States now has an oppor-
tunity to prove his or her patriotism
by the purchase of war saving
stamps. These stamps are issued in
denominations of % cents and So,
and draw the equivalent of four per
cent interest, compounded quarterly.
The object of issuing these stamps is
two-fold-first, to enable those who
can not afford to purchase Liberty
Bonds to assist the government in
carrying on the war, and second, to
encourage thrift by offering an abso-
lutely safe form of investment for
the pennies, dimes and quarters
saved by children and poor people.
A child who saves 20 pennies by
sacrificing some form of pleasure and
invests those pennies in a war saw
ings stamp gives just as convincing
a proof Of patriotism as the wealthy
citizen who buys ten thousand dol
lar Liberty Bond. The larger the
number of people buying the stamps
the better will be the moral effect,
both in this country and abroad, and
the moral, rather than the financial
effect, is what the government is
seeking. A heavy sale of the stamps
will result in distributing the fin
ancial burden of carrying on the war
among all the people, according to
their means. 1t will encourage our
fighting men by demonstrating that
they have back of them the united
support of the men, women and chill
dren of the nation, rich and poor
alike. 1t will discourage our oppon-
ents by refuting their charge that
the United States was forced into the
war by the rich and that the rest of
the people have no interest in it.
Many boys and girls, men and
women can not raise the money to
buy fifty dollar Liberty Bond, bat
all can save enough pennies to buy
some war saving stamps. Each one
Of these stamps sold will carry m es
sage of encouragement to the boys
at the front, just as a postage stamp
carries the letter of good cheer from
the folks at home to them. Save
your pennies, buy stamps; by so do
ing you will prove your patriotism.

eeTHE necessity for game protection

said Alves Dixon, secretary Of the
FL Paso Game Protective association.
Last year over $500 IN licenses
were paid by Ell Pasoans 10 the state
OF New Mexico for the privilege Of
hunting and fishing and all because
the state OF Texas has no game nor
fish. for the simple reason that the
state Of Texas has not protected its
game and fish. They have been shot
and fished out OF season until there
are none left Even the federal laws
for the protection Of ducks and doves
and other migratory birds are gross
y violated in this state. Fish are
seined and killed with dynamite. in
violation OF the law. Little protection
Is given TO game in Texas and the
result is that the Texas hunter must

the necessity Of protecting its game

cost Of gasoline and automobile tires
or railroad fare 10 reach the hunting

This could have been saved II we had
given proper protection TO our own
