War Savings Stamps, and not spent.
You will thus keep the money, yet
put it to government use; you will re-
duce your consumption of commodi-
ties needed for the winning of the
war, and get new inspiration of per-
sonal thrift.
Thrift Should Be Intelligent.
It is not thrifty to grind yourself
down below the level of necessaries,
or to be niggardly with legitimate
spending. There is happy medium,
and we should seek it. It isn't neces-
sary to starve the children, give the
cold shoulder to the Y. M. C. A.,
Knights of Columbus and Red Cross,
wean the calf, and slight the barber,
the grocer and the milkman in order
to be frugal and thrifty. Studious,
careful, well directed, yet restricted
spending is the essence of thrift
But, Perhaps You May Say, '1 Am Co.
ing to Buy Liberty Bonds Instead"
That statement shows that you have
not yet fully understood the great
national thrift campaign. The sale of
stamps and bonds are, so far as rails
inc money is concerned, one and the
same undertaking. Congress appro-
priated $4,000, 100000 to be raised
jointly by the sale of $4,000, ,OOO, 900
in Liberty Bonds and $2,000,000,000
in War Savings Stamps (or baby
bonds as some call them). What is
raised by stamps need not be raised
by sale of bonds, and vice versa. Red
wood county is asked to buy 100000
in War Savings Stamps. If she does
not do so, she will be called upon to
buv Liberty Bonds to make up the
deficiency. 1t is going to be easier
to place a million or million and
half of bonds in Redwood county in
the usual way, if we can provide for
100000 of it in the form of stamps,
; bought entirely out of savings and
, thrift plans. And further.
, Intending Liberty Bond Buyers.
If you plan to buy Liberty Bonds
later, begin now to save for that pur-
pose. Put those savings, $4 at time,
into the War Savings Stamps and keep
them at hand. When your Liberty
Bonds payments come due, notify the
postmaster 10 days ahead that you
want cash on your War Savings
Stamps and you will get it and can
!. apply it on the bonds.
r Help Advance the Campaign.
4 Everybody help. Write at once to
a US and get books and literature. Study
: them and master the great thrift plan,
: catch its spirit and inspiration, see
= what it means to the nation this year,

SOME DO-SOME DON'T.

Do you know that on WHEATLESS
WEDNESDAY of this week there
were two social gatherings in our
city where wheat was served in abun-
dance, also meat, butter and sugar?
Do you know them were Church
gatherings representing two domina-
tions?
The week before there were two
others where wheat was served on
Wednesday?
All this in face of the fact that We
are urged, begged, commanded to
serve no wheat on Wednesday.
The hotels obey-the restaurants
obey; if they did not, the Food Com
mission would fine them.
Probably every good housewife at
each and every one Of these events
can make Johnny cake" which would
melt in your mouth.
And yet, in speaking of the new
order which compels us to buy as
much coarse -four as white, or gra-
ham, one lady said she would simply
have to throw it out for she could
NOT use SO much.
If those three hundred or more
people who ate wheat last Wednes-
|
eaten corn, rice, barley or some other
wheat substitute, some soldier would
have had full ration, some woman or
child in the war town regions would
have little more of the staff of life,
here as there are countless numbers
who probably haven't seen bit OF
bread, or meat for months, and per
haps years.
One lady said it seemed ridiculous
for her to chicken her gravy with
barley -four on Wednesday and to &c
to the extra trouble of making corn
bread, or some wheat substitute for
her small family who perhaps ate
three slices of bread, and one table
spoon of flour was so little; when two
of three hundred people gathered to-
gether were consuming wheat ano
plenty of it.
1t does seem as though her rea-
soning is feasible, but yet, the Ameri-
can Magazine in lite issue told OF
the thousands of loaves of bread 1t
would amount to if every housewife
in the United States wasted one slice
of bread in one day.
That many loaves would go a long
way toward feeding our soldiers, and
the question is, shall we continue to
ignore the commands of those higher
up who have studied the situation and
know it, and ask nf US only what sac
rifce is necessary in their opinion to
win the war?
The food administrators send their
suggestions out through the press as
the best means of reaching the peo-
pie. We have one now in regard to
serving between meal luncheons, and
urgently requesting their discontinue
ance, but if they must be served, DUR
ing the use of the coarse grain foods,
things our allies cannot use.
We give this space willingly and
consider it one little bit that we can
do. but, like the lady mentioned be-
fore, we sometimes wcnder-"What>s
the use?"

wheat has long since been shipped

THE NATIONAL WAR SAVINGS
CAMPAIGN.

What is it? Who started it? What
does it propose to accomplish? Does
it concern Redwood County? Does it
concern you and me These are ques-
tions now being asked and entitled to
answers. In this brief booklet they
shall be answered as far as possible
and further inquiry invited.
What Is It?
1t is a nationwide publicity and
educational campaign to raise an ar
my of 00,000,0 900 Americans who will
not only back up our own boys with
our giving but our living as WELL. It
is authorized by Act of Congress,
planned and launched by the United
States Treasury, and has two definite
and clear purposes or detectives.
What It Proposes To Do.
The purposes of the campaign are
two-fold:
First. To raise $4,000, 100000 in the
nation, and of this amount 100000
in Redwood county for war purposes,
during the year ending December 81,
1918.
Second. To obtain this money out of
new savings, and future earnings, it
is distinctly not the purpose to invite
the investment of fixed capital, bank
deposits, savings bank deposits, and
existing credits in War Savings
Stamps. The aim of the campaign
is to coordinate all the nation in new
plans for personal frugality, and econ
omy, the careful study of all expen-
ditures with view to efficient spend
ing, the applying of money where it
will count the most for the national
welfare, the elimination of personal
display and ostentatious living and
non-essentials, during and after the
war.
Is There Need OF Frugality?
Many men are earning more now
than before the war. Happily the pro-
ducer is getting more now than he
did. Many of those whose earning
power has been increased doubt the
need for economy or saving. They
invite attention to the fact that they
are able to spend freely. Yes, but the
nation is not able to have anybody
draw unnecessarily upon the nationa
resources during the war. The gov
ernment asks that private citizens us'
at least small fraction less of whea
and meat products, sugar, metals
wooden and cotton goods, Injuries AM
transportation, because the govern
ment has need for them; and what w
civilians use, the army is deprived OF
What we save therefore in these ma
terials and resources results in a per
sonal saving of money and should b
invested in War Savings Stamps. Th

AMERICAN MASK
USED BY FIGHTERS

Washington, Sept. 6,--Ma ior Gen
eral William l. Sibert. director chemi-
cal warfare service. today announced
that quantity production of gas masks
was in progress and that the Ameri-
can mask is better than that produced
by any other country.
The country, he added. has made
enormous strides in the manufacture
OF poisonous gases and we are now
shipping gas shells abroad, The two
characteristic types OF gas in use are
mustard and phosgene--one a per-
sistent and the other non -persis-
tent gas
All of the armies, including the
enemy. are using these gases. he said.
The general was unable to confirm
a report that the Germans have
evolved new gas which will destroy
totally the sight OF a person.
