ALLEGED CHECK FORGER
HERE SATURDAY

Earl Martin, automobile mechanic,
is being sought by the local authOri-
ties. Behind his sudden departure for
an unidentified section of the coun-
try, is a trail Of checks which are al
legged to have been forged. Martin
had disposed Of his household goods
and has not been seen since Satur-
day.
Roy johnson eashed a 81 check for
him written on T. J. Buckner; F. A.
Sannebeck cashcd a check for s12 on
J. Mutton; Sam Morris honored a
check for $50 on T. J. Buckner. Mar
tin sold his furniture to Mason Crea-
sey for S12.5O, but loses his purchase
as Sam Morris had a mortgage on it.
The names Of the checks are fic-
titious. They are near enough to
hose of reputable citizens to leave
the impression they were correct on
first glance, but a second look shows
the cupidity of the scheme.

ASIDE from the patriotic aspect Of
the Thrift Stamp campaign there is
no question but that it is going 20
start the saving habit among the
children in this country in a way no
other plan has ever succeeded in do
ing. In this way it will serve a dou-
BILE purpose. 1t will help win the
war and defeat hat worst enemy
of old age-poverty. If you start the
child to save it will likely adhere to
the plan throughout its life. The
vast wealth of many Of the worlds
greatest business men have sprung
from Just such a simple source. En-
courage your child to save its pennies
for Thrift Stamps for the present as
well as for comfort in the future.
