StaI ding rui on tho corners aud in
public places with their open collec-

This year, with the war over, with

Contribute TO the Salvation Army

a good Christian and turn a deaf ear
to the call of charity. II you belong
to church and think nothing about
anyone else's happiness, nothing
about the poverty and suffering Of
your fellow beings, you are not a
Christian, you simply happen to be a
moral hypocrite, masquerading under
the responsibility of your church con-
nections. Don't only open your
heart, open your purse as well, al
though, if your heart is really open,
your purse will be, too. Help the
good cause along, if it does cost you
a little money, it will neither make
nor break you, and you will feel so
much better.

War Stamp Program
for Next Year Out

The program for the sale Of war
savings stamps in 1919, announced
today by the Treasury, is almost
identical with that followed this year
as relating to cost Of the stamps in
various months. In JanuaEF the
stamps worth SIS face value viii be
sold for $4.12 and win increase one
cent a month until next December.
They win not mature until January
/, 1925, or one year later then the
stamps now on sale.
Thrift stamps, costing rs cents
each, will be sold throughout the
year. They viii be identical ID de-
sign and size with the present thrift
stamps, but will be blue instead Of
Ngreen. The war savings stamps also
blue, are considerably smaller tnan
the present issue.
New cards on which war savings
stamps are to be attached win pc is
sued and 1919 stamps should not be
attached to old cards. If war saw
ings certificate has been only partial
ly filled with this years war savings
stamps, it win be entirely valid and
may be redeemed eventually At the
maturity value Of the stamps it
bears.
The new stamps will go on sale
January 1.
Indications now are that the sale
Of war savings stamps this year will
be about billion dollars, as $780,
600, 900 in sales have been reported
to date and belated reports after
January / are expected to swell this
considerably
War savings agents, the Treasury

Old stamps may be affixed to cards

ALL GROCERIES TO Be
CLOSED At I P. N.

Practically every grocer in Algiers
has signed an agreement to close his
place of business at p. m, every
day except Saturday.
This is a patriotic move and shows
spirit of cooperation with the gov
eminent on the part of the retail
grocers of this town. The Fuel Ad
ministration requests the grocers to
close at p. m, in order to save
fuel for lighting and the grocers
promptly comply.
These business people deserve
the patronage of the people and they
should be encouraged in this effort
to render a patriotic service. We
hope the purchasing public will show
! its appreciation of the sacrifice these
grocers are making by doing their
shopping before the new closing
time.
| Following are the names of the
! grocers who are observing this rule.

We established Y. NJ. c. A. huts along

Rev. Mr.. Findley described the up
rising that started November 3,
1917; spoke of how the machine
guns went about the streets smash
ing the ancient monuments, demol-
ishing buildings, and leaving thou
sands dead and wounded in their
wake. He described the condition
that reigned for weeks as one of
absolute anarchy. All officers of
the army and navy were ousted,
business men were declared CAPT.
talists and sentenced TO be shot, all
church schools were abolished. and
Sunday was declared a thing of the
past. This was the result of Ger
man propaganda, he declared, and
dated back thirty years. when Ger
many first sent paid teachers to
Russia to get positions with instruc-
lions to work for half of what the
native Russians would work for.
These men were required to re-
port to Germany monthly, quarterly,
semi-annually and annually. In this
way Germany gained control of the
czarina, Sturmer. prime minister and
highest officer in Russia, and in
addition had control of nine generals
in the Russian army. German in
fluence became so effective that half
of the ammunition manufactured in
Russia fitted German guns"
When the foreign ambassador or
dered all foreigners out of Russia
February %, 1918, Rev. Mr.. Find
ley and his co-workers were forced
to leave the front in a sleigh, only
half a mile ahead of the advancing
German cavalry.

ISSUING WEDDING LICENSES.

1t has been called to the atten-
ton of the Herald that many of our
people, entering the state of matri-
mony go to the city for the purpose
of taking out their licenses in this
important matter, and, while the
city and Algiers are exactly the
same, we believe that the preference
should always be given to this side
of the river, where Captain Leonard
F. Gisch is always to be found
either day or night, and in a very
affable manner, helps the bashful
young man and young lady to secure
this valuable piece of paper
Wedding licenses may be secured
at the Algiers Court House from Cap
tain Gisch, any time during the day,
when he is at the office, but should
parties desire to obtain licenses at
other times, when the office is
closed, Mr.. Gisch states that it will
be pleasure for him to secure these
licenses for the parties at any time
This arrangement not only saves the
applicant a good deal of trouble in
going to the city, and wasting a
considerable amount of time, but it
gives the Algiers office an additional
prestige, which it should enjoy. So,
now, my young man and young lady,
IL you desire to be married, do not
go to the city to take out your mar
riage license. Secure them in your
home town, where the knot is going
to be tied. Have the entire opera
tion done here. We, as Algierines,
are looking for everything that be-
longs to the Algiers people. and we
also believe that an Algiers wedding
should have its wedding license is
| sued from the Algiers court house.
