wish to assure you that you may

suade the Coupon Clippers" to usc
this money for the purchase of

insist upon them doing so to such
an extent that we believe it will be
only in rare instances that W., may
fail. We keep on hand at all times
anywhere from $4,000 to $4,000
worth of stamps and are urging OR
customers to buy all that they can.
No later than this week we handed
Mr.. R. D. Nc Kneely, foreman Of
Williams Camp at Belle River, $500
worth and took his memorandum
for same. He is to sell them there
and call for more when his supply is
exhausted. I believe he may sell
possibly several thousand dollars

many men. Remember we want to
do all we can and are glad for you

his attention pretty thoroughly to
the young men of the country, he is
now ready and anxious to take up the
case of the babies. While this work
is also in the nature of war meas
ure the babies will not be required
to bear arms against the Hun. They
will be required however to bare
their whole body for Uncle Sam.
He will be represented in this
work in Morgan City by the Civic
League, Mrs. w. G. Reed, Chairman.
Inspection which will consist Of
weighing and measuring, will be
started on May %. To make it eff
fective the youngsters will be re-
quired to bare not only their arms
but their all''. The results of this
test will be not only of vast benefit
to Uncle Sam but to the babies and
their mothers. Mrs. Reed requests
that all children under the age Of
six remember the date and be at the
City Hall at the time appointed.
"To be sure that thi sis done," the
mothers are also asked to keep this
date in mind.
