THE wAR-srAMp CAMPAIGN.

The official report shows that the
schools Of Bossier Parish sold during
the previous War-Savings Stamp sale
only $1SS1.:D worth Of the stamps. and
of this amount Plain Dealing High
School sold $11Gl.755 worth. This does
not look good in print, and we should
and must do better in the present
drive. 1t is too shameful for old Ros-
Sier to make such a poor showing, and
more especially since some of her near
by sisters sold seven or eight times as
many.
The pupils of the high school have
determined that Plain Dealing must do
better next time and they are now
working in earnest for Uncle Sam and
Old Glory. The high school grades
have elected Annie Lou Sentell and
Rupert peyton captains. and they have
chosen all the pupils in the high school
and formed two teams. Annie Louis
team call themselves Kaiser Lickcrs.
and the team captained by Rupert have
seen fit to call themselves Uncle Sans
Hippcrs. They are determined to
lick" some Of Uncle Sans War
Stamps and to take the Rossier Ban

prizes. and ut the same time whoop NJ
the grade girls for the remaining prizes

The Campaign for Savings.

The following readers have come to
the Banner from the office of the New
Orleans branch of the National War
Savings Committee:
The purpose of the War-Savings
Committee is to create an army of
savers who will. by saving, release
labor and materials for the use of the
Government in the war. and who will
lend their savings to the Government
to prosecute the war;
There is no safer or finer invest
nlent In the world than War-Savings
Certificates. Buy them now regularly
while you can, for you cannot expect
to have SD good bargain offered
always. Then SAGE. lend and hasten

In Il recent bulletin. Mr.. Guy Finer
son. Director Of Publicity for the New
York campaign, said: While an alb
stract sympathy with the principle of
the war-s;tvings movement is good as
far as it goes. the practical expression
of this sympathy can best be evidenced
by the purchase Of stamps"

There is Il labOrer in this city who.

Profiteerinf Gets a Rap.

The following coming to the Banner
from New Orleans. and from an au-
thOritative source, will he of interest
to all:
The Food Administrator for Louis
lana recently took the first drastic ac-
ton in the matter of profiteering in
this state. One Of the leading whole
sale grocery firms in New Orleans
made restitution to a number of pa
irons in the country and also paid
fine of $1,000. the money being sent to
the American Red Cross Society.
The United States Food Admins
tration announced that the clemency
shown in this case was not to be taken
as Il precedent. profiteering is one Of
the most serious crimes on the food
calendar. and will be dealt with ac-
cordingly The licenses of any con-
Germs found guilty will he taken away.
| which means that the concern and all
its members will he prohibited, directly
or indirectly. from doing business in
food commodities during the war. or
during the time specified. if the sen
tence happens to be suspension. The
concern will have to post the news of
its own demise upon its doors, and the
publicity will further assist at the OBJ
setluies.
In the instance mentioned, the firm
had eXacted an unreasonable profit on
corn products. A number of firms in
the country, upon receiving the order
concerning the substitutes for -four,
complained that the regulation had
been made more difficult to carry out
by the raise in price of the substitutes
J. Nj. Wilzin. volunteer assistant to
John NJ. Parker, Food Administrator
for Louisiana. called upon the various
| wholesale establishments in the city
for records of their sales. 1t was
found that one firm had charged con-
siderable more for corn products than
| any other. and it was promptly called
upon for an explanation regarding the
difference.
The head of the firm made some
excuses which showed his own ignor-
| aHce of what had been done. hut it did

that the name of the firm be not pub

proved the verdict and punishment he
cause of the willingness and prompt
hess with which the firm had made
amends. He advised, however. that no

and that those who take advantage of

crease profits above the normal would
feel the full power of the Food .Ad-

had scored 100 per cent in the recent

noted from several of the Banners eX-

achieved in number of the schools Of

of this splendid organization at once
appeals to the American people. and
