CAR THIEVES CAUGHT KEEP YOUR STAMPS
DOING OTHERWISE IS TO DEFEAT

Unfortunately, there, at present,
seems to be a tendency among some
of the people of Morrison county to
cash their War Savings stamps, in
stead of holding them as they should,
as patriotic citizens, until they ma
ture on January 1, 1928.
Those who unnecessarily have
their War Savings stamps redeemed
before date of maturity, are not act.
ing the part Of patriotic citizen~
They are deliberately defeating tt e
purpose for which this governmen
security was created. War Saving
stamps are an investment withou:
superior on the market, and a persc-'
could far better afford to economiz (
|stringently, making personal sacritic e
es if necessary, rather than ask fo.
the conversion of these stamps int
money at this time, especially whe-
so doing, deprives our government {
money which is so s0rely needed tC

All postmasters in Morrison county
have been requested to report al

for having their War Savings stamps

junior nurse at the nurses training
school at st. Gabriel g hospital, passed
away. Her death was caused by heart
failure, brought about by an attack Of

Miss Wenner's home was at Brecken-

one of the most accomplished nurses at
the hospital and had greatly endeared
herself to all whom she came in contact.
Her presence at the hospital will be
greatly missed by those who have been

Morrison county farmers who have
lost their hay in the recent fires should
not be in too much Of hurry to dis
pose Of their live stock Hay will no
doubt, be high priced and hard to get,
some arrangement can undoubtedly be
made soon to have hay shipped in and
distributed among the farmers Of the
|burned-ovef area. It will be loss to
feed high priced hay"to inferior live
stock and that class should be disposed
Of, but all good female breeding stock,
especially dairy cows, should be kept if
possible. They will be hard to replace
next summer and their disposal will be
decided loss to the community.
