Because of the great scarcity of tin,
the government has issued a re-
quest that all tinfoil be saved and
turned over to the Red Cross. The
United States has organized a salV-
age committee to collect all tinfOil
possible and they will turn it over
to the Red Cross. A drive for this
will be launched the same time as
the Patriotic league starts its drive
for old gold, silver, etc. There is
also a shortage of platinum and
anyone who has platinum is asked
to give or sell it. 1t is also asked
that people will not roll the tinfoil
into balls but leave it in fat pieces.
The Democracy unit of the Patri-
otto league which is an organiza-
ton of the employees of Young &
McCombs, announce that they have
already received one shipment of
old kid gloves which will be sent
to New York to be made into avia-
tor jackets and are now ready to
start collection for the second ship
ment. Every family has innumer-
able stray kid gloves, that are worn
out, stored in some drawer, attic or
closet. Anyone having such arti
cIes is earnestly urged to turn them
over to the Democracy league so
that they may be put to a useful
service.
The Over the Top league of L. S.
McCabe and Co. is also doing its
share of patriotic work. The girls
have pledged themselves to buy
$500 worth of thrift stamps. These
they are going to do their best to
sell wherever they possibly can.
The girls are doing a splendid SER
vice and are to be highly commend
ed for it.

CASH BOARDING
CAUSE PROBLEM
Are Rock Island Arsenal Employees
Guilty Fourth Loan Sub
soriptiOns Indicate So.

What are Rock Island arsenal
workers doing with their money?
Are they to be classed as money
hoarders?
One of the most noticeable fea-
lures of the recent Liberty loan
campaign at Rock Island arsenal
was the unusual number of sub
scribers who paid the first install
ment, or in hundreds or cases. the
entire amount of the subscription
in cash. With approximately 1880
individual subscriptions, it was
stated at Liberty loan headquar-
ters that at least 95 per cent were
paid in cash, indicating that few
employees possess checking &C
counts at the various banks.
The condition has worried the
banks of Davenport, Rock Island
and Moline for some months past.
In order to provide the necessary
currency for the arsenal payroll it
has ben necessary for the banks of
the three icues to arrange to bring
into the community each month ap-
proximately 100000 of new cur
rency, This currency. after It
reaches the hands of the arsenal
employees. is not being circulated,
but It Is evident from the numer-
Gus applications received by the va
rlOus banks who maintain safety
deposit vaults, that this money is
either being placed In safety de-
post boxes or in hiding places
