The Bridgeport times and evening farmer. (Bridgeport, Conn.) 1918-1924, 1918-05-29

The pledge you are asked to sign
calls for the purchase of a certain
number of thrift stamps each week
during the remainder of the year. You
may pledge to purchase one, or as
many as you like, but every person is
asked to pledge themselves to buy
stamps up to their ability: You will
be surprised how much you can save
once the habit is started,
Some one in Nebraska was the orig
inator of the pledge idea, and the
uota for the state for the year was
set at $30,000,O00. In less than four
months the people of that state had
pledged themselves to buy during the
year stamps to the value of $34,OOO,-
0OO exceeding the quota called for,
and with pledges still coming in.
organization of the churches, socie--
ties, stores, and schools is now under
way. It is expected every one of the
$1,000 public school children will not
only pledge to buy stamps themselves,
but will also assist in their sale, and
especially during the summer vacation
The parochial schools will also assist,
and the heads of the different schools
have promised every facility for car
rying on the work among the children.
Mr.. Moss is busy with the detailed
plans, and full information regarding
them will soon be available.
T Yesterday a handsome banner ure-
ing the signing of the pledge and buy
ing of thrift stamps was swung across
Main street. Next week the retail
merchants of the city will offer special
thrift stamp day bargains which will
I'be announced through the daily pa
! pers.

Paris Still Excited OUeY
Visit President Wilson

Ambassador Sharp's residence was
handsomely decorated for. the oc-
casion. The spacious marble stair
case was lined with palms while the
salons and the dining rooms were
filled with flowers and palms, the
decorations including tasteful
blending of the American and French
colors.
The President and Mrs. Wilson
were received by mounted French
guard as their automobile reached
the embassy. AS they descended they
passed between the lines of an
American guard OF honor drawn up
at the entrance.
A distinguished company already
had gathered in the grand salon and
the ambassador and Mrs. SharI
then escorted their guests to dinner
The scene in the drawing room af-
ter the dinner was brilliant with the
women in rich evening gowns gilt
tering with jewels and the members
of the diplomatic corps, generals and
admirals in full uniform resp1endent
with medals and decorations.

Paris. Tuesday, Dec. 17.-Although
President Wilson has been in Paris
four days the city refuses to cease
celebrating. Everyone had expected
the enthusiasm and the demonstra-
tons to subside after day or two,
but the city seems almost as greatly
excited as it was on the first and
second days of the Presidents visit.
When the President appears on
the streets in his motor car. the
cheering seems as spontaneous as
ever.
Tonight's reception at the Ameri-
can embassy when President and
Mrs. Wilson and President and
Madame Poincare were the guests of
honor, proved a notably brilliant So
cial event, the company which as
sembled for dinner including many
of the most prominent figures in
public life who later at the reception
met several hundred people of &ar-
ious nationalities representing all
branches of official military and
diplomatic life now gathered in the
French capital.
