DON'T SELL YOUR BOND
(By Harold A. Lamb of The
Vigilantes)

Your Liberty Bond-whether 1t is
for $50 or SCOOPS your savings. TO
sell it is to lose your savings. The
longer you keep the bond, the more
valuable it is going to be.
It does no good to Uncle Sam to
subscribe to his loan, and then sell
the mount Of your subscription
Many of us have strained ourselves
to buy the bonds, and necessity may
force some of us to get some of the
money back. But the way to do this
is not to sell bond. Dishonest
sharpers will take your bonds and
give you, say, eighty dollars for the
one hundred.
| If you must have money, go to re-
liable bank or broker They will
lend you ninety dollars on the hun
bred, and the interest on your bond
will nearly pay the interest on the
money they lend you. Then by pay
ing the loan, you can have the bono
back.
Uncle Sans securities are making
money for you while you hold them

If the war ends in three years or I'm
der you will then be receiving 81
and a quarter per cent-on the sal
est investment in the world!

Morris Tribune,
Morris, Mimi.
Gentlemen:
In regard to the letter published
in your last weeks paper criticising
the work of the Y. M. C. A. in
Europe, I would say that to me it
bears all the ear marks of having
been made in Germany I think that
it is on a par with many of the
stories that have been circulated
about the Red Cross work. Standing
General Pershing has been asking
for a much enlarged activity of the
Y. M. G. A. work, also that the
French government is asking that
the work be extended to all of their
armies.
Also from what I know of some of
the men that are doing this work in
France / know that there is not much
truth in these charges. We must
recognize the fact that any organiza-
ton that carries on the activities
that the Y. M. G. A. does will once
in awhile have part of their work
go wrong either through some in
efficient man or through the trait
orous design of some one. 1 have
letters from soldiers in Camp Cody
and in Camp Pike commencing very
highly the work of this organization.
that my money has gone wrong,
neither does it make wish to with
hold on future contributions.
Respectfully,

within a few days the entire county

within few days the entire county
will have been thoroly organized.
During the past week selling
agencies have been established in
practically every store and place OF
business in Morris, and Hancock has
also been similarly organized. Stamps
are also on sale at all the post offices
and banks, as well as many of the
schools, and these agencies will be
extended until the county is COM
pletely covered.
Under the direction of Supt. Ro-
berts thrift clubs are being organized
in every school in the county. The
clubs are destined to play a very i'm
portant part in the sale of stamps,
as they will appeal very strongly to
the patriotism of the young folks. In
addition to being a great aid to the
government, this club movement will
instill habits of thrift that will be of
great value to the child in after life.
1t will be we'll for parents to encour-
age their children in saving their
pennies for the purchase of thrift
stamps.
Savings clubs" and war clubs"
are not for the children alone, for
in fact it is mans size job to raise
the two billion dollars that the gov
eminent has asked for. Every man,
woman and child should get back Of
the great movement and thus do his
or her share for humanity. Gov. Burn
quist has designated the week of
March 10 to II as "War Club Week"
during which time big effort will
be made to organize war clubs all
over the state among the older peo-
pie 1t is planned to have at least
one of these clubs in each school dis
trict in addition to those in the
schools, and as many as possible in
each village. Some of these clubs
have already been organized in Nor
ris, and it is hoped that everyone
will make it point to join one of
these clubs and help organize more
The Boy Scouts of Norris are go
ing to take an active part in the cam
paign for the sale of thrift stamps,
and they are already organized for
the work. Within few days they
will start their drive, and big re-
suits are being looked for from their
efforts. The boys will be given but
tons and medals as a reward for
their efforts, and some of them hope
to carry off the first prize for this
state, which is a personal letter of
thanks from the President of the
United States.

"WAR CLUB WEEK" TO
FORM SAVINGS CLUBS
Splendid Plan to Raise 100000 in
Stevens County by Buying
"Baby Bonds"

Altho a little delayed, Stevens
county is now beginning to take an
active part in the great work of SELL
ing thrift and savings stamps. The
work of organizing the county is
now in progress, and within few
days every village and township will
have an active organization at work
Of the stupendous sum of money
that will be required to carry on the
war for world liberty, congress de-
cided that two million dollars should
be raised by the sale of saving
stamps. This was done in order that
the small savings thruout the coun-
try might be brought into active SER
vice, and at no loss, but rather
The plan is a splendid one and is
meeting with great success every
where Of this two million dollar
fund Stevens county has been called
on to raise 100000. In view of
the fact that we have until the end
of the year to raise it, the sum is
not as large as it otherwise would
seem to be.
For some time these thrift stamps
have been sold in the Norris schools
and in some of the other cshools in
the county, and thru this means and
thru the efforts of the post Offices
most people have a general idea as
to the workings of the plan. In
reality savings stamps are govern
ment bonds brought down to denom-
nations that make it possible for
everyone, no matter how limited are
his means, to invest in them. These
savings stamps, or baby bonds" bear
interest at the rate of per cent,
compounded every three months.
Thrift cards are furnished to pur-
ehasers of 25 cent stamps. These
cards have spaces for sixteen stamps,
for SIS stamp at the postoffice or
other agency by adding IA cents if
exchanged this month. The invest
or can purchase the SIS stamps out
right if he prefers to do so, the value
of the IS stamp this month being
$4.14. They increase in value one
cent each month.
The SIS stamps are attached to a
war savings certificate" containing
twenty spaces. If stamps enough to
fill these twenty spaces are purchased
this month, for instance, they will
have cost the purchaser $8280 The
government will redeem them on
Jan. 1, 1923, for $4,000. Either
war stamps or certificates may be
cashed at any time at their accrued
value by presenting them at the
postofice.
DR.. J. w. Harris has recently been
appointed county chairman, to have
general supervision of the sale of
war stamps in Stevens county. I'm
der his able direction the work is
progressing rapidly, and township
chairmen have been appointed in
many townships and have already
begun their work. He hopes that

Fly the Associated Press
 Nictory--and peace.
 After more thnn four years of struggling the rights of mankind are saved. The greatest day in the history of nations has dawned.
 The German military classes-- ar rogant beyond expression--are in defeat.
 Kaiser and crown prince are In fIight-refuges In an alien country. Germanic Kings and potentates no longer hold their sway. The allied arms arc triumphant. Imperialistic Germany has met the fate that uIti- mateIy must come to any country that seeks to rule the world.
 Deserted by all her allies, Ger many, on her knees, Is accepting terms of equalization which amount to abjeet surrender.
 Except for actual hostile military invasion, the once great European power, the ambition of the monarch in which was to dominate over all. Is In complete defeat
 Beaten on the field of battle. the edfct of the allied chief command is that the German armies shall re- tire into their own homeland from all invaded territory. ImpOtent as the German armies shall be, also as impotent shall be the German fleet. Colonies are lost. and the hand that sought to reach out and attain additional territory is with cred by the ruling of the supreme war council at Versailles.
 Reparation and restitution, in fact full compensation of all kinds, Is to he made by Germany for all the disaster that has followed her armies and those of her allies throughout the world war.
 The handwriting was on the wall for Germany. Her troops had fought vnlfantly throughout the more than four years of warfare.
 But what had been considered in Germany an fnvfncible army was beaten In feats of arms by the al- lied powers. Even before Ger mauy's allies deserted her the strength of the entente allies had become apparent.
 Unprepared, they had resisted for more than three years the assaults ' of m enemy who had been preparing for combat since the FrancO-Prus- sian war.
 With a determination that could never recognize defeat, Belgium, France, Italy, Serbia and Russia were overrun. Hard days were ex- perienced by the allies, hut the smile of hope in ultimate success never failed. When finally the United states was drnwn into the war by Germany's continued vfO- Iations of international law and precepts of humanity, the gIeam of the dawn of victory for world democracy rose In the sky. On the field of battle In France and Bell aium the Germans were fast be- ing defeated when they flew the white flag of submiasiOn and asked for terms of peace. Everywhere, from the Belgian cOast to the Mo- selIe river, the allies were pressing them. 1t was only . matter of time when their armies were to he decfsively beaten on the battlefield. Their great fortined lines of resist- ance had crumpled successively un- der the impetus of the attacks of their foes. They were heing har- ried everywhere from pillar to post. Even the great Rhine fortfhcattons. 1t was f0reseen, would prove no barrier to the onward rush of the victorious armies.
 Hence Germany. deserted by her allies, recognised that defeat stared
