THRIFT STAMP SALES
WILL BE PUSHED HERE
DR.. Harris Appointed as Chairman of
Stevens County in This Cam
paign

The financial search-light of the
U. S. government is now being turned
to the War Saving and Thrift cam
paign. Committees have been ap-
pointed and the campaign is we'll un-
der way. Each county is under the
supervision of a county chairman,
who in turn appoints committees,
executive, advisory, publicity, etc.
DR.. J. w. Harris of Morris has
been auppointed as chairman of the
War Saving and Thrift Campaign in
Stevens county and he is making
plans to push the sale of thrift
stamps into every home in the coun-
ty. Mr.. Frisbee of Hancock was ap-
pointed as chairman some time ago
for this conuty but he asked to be re-
slieved of the extra work and Dr.
Harris was appointed in his place.
This thrift stamp campaign will
accomplish wonderful results if
greeted by the people with the same
hearty response which was given to
the Liberty Loan.
The sale of these stamps affords
the people of Minnesota another
SlSdL%OppO1 CuAACy W oCCOoe ChOA1 Ivy
atty to their government and prove
to the people of America that Min
nesota is not state to sit back and
let others finance the war.
War Saving Stamps come within
the financial reach of everybody.
Where it requires fifty dollars to buy
a Liberty Bond, it requires $4.13 to
purchase a War Savings Stamp and
25c to buy Thrift Stamp.
With the purchase of the first War
Savings Stamp you are presented
with a War Savings Certificate. Lick,
the stamp, place it on the certificate,
and you have helped lick the Kaiser.
When you find the first thrift
stamp you are given a thrift card
Put these together and keep adding
25c thrift stamps until the card is
filled with 16 25-stamps. Then it
can be exchanged for a War Savings
Stamp upon payment Of the differ
ence between $4.00 and the price of a
War Saving Stamp.
The War Savings Stamp which
sells for $4.12 are redeemable in
Morris tribune., 1918-02-22

cash, but a thrift stamp is not. It
is pointed out by the treasury de-
partment that Thrift Stamps are not
made redeemable in cash for the rea-
son that these stamps are simply in
tended as a convenient method for
the small savers to accumulate
enough to purchase War Savings
Stamps which bear interest and are
redeemable in cash. In addition to
provide for redemption of these
thrift stamps would involve such an
amount of detailed accounting and
labor and expense as to impair the
practicability of their use. In fact,
they would be more trouble and ex-
pense to the government than they
are worth.
It is the purpose of the govern
ment to raise two billion dollars
within the year by the sale of these
stamps Thus it can be seen what an
important factor these "Baby Bonds
are playing in the financing of the
War.
1t is needless to urge the people Of
Minnesota to respond to this call.
The way is clear and this campaign
will result in another great achieve
ment for the North Star state, if
given the same support which was
accorded the Liberty Bond.

post office will be glad to give in
formation regarding either of these

LUTHERANS OF NATION
WILL RAISE $75O,OOO
Money to be Used for Religious Work
Among the Soldiers and
Sailors

A meeting of all the Lutheran
churches of Minnesota was held in
Minneapolis recently to plan the
work of soliciting the different con-
gregations for funds to carry on re-
ligious work among the Lutheran
boys in the National army and navy.
Rev. G. A. Pilgrim of Morris had
planned to attend the meeting, but on
account of the serious illness of his
wife he was not able to leave home.
However, he was appointed as chair
man of Stevens county to organize
and supervise the work, but not be-
ing able to leave his wife he had to
resign and Rev. e. Olson of Frog
Lake was appointed in his place.
he-Lutherans of the United States
plan to raise $750,0O0 to be used for
religious work among the soldiers
and sailors and the state of Mime
sofa has been allotted $150,000 of
this amount. Mr.. Olson was in Nor
ris Tuesday of last week to make
plans for raising Stevens county's
share Of this money and the drive
thru the county is being made this
week. The work is being carried out
on common plan by appointing a
captain and sufficient helpers in each
congregation to make a thoro can
vass of all the Lutherans in the coun-
ty during the week and the drive will
not only solicit the several families,
but also each individual member of
each family.
The latest statistics given out show
that there are approximately 2O2,-
600 Lutherans in the service of Uncle
Sam and many more to be called with
each draft. The Lutherans who have
always had the spiritual welfare of
their boys at heart have decided not
to neglect it in this critical time, but
to be with them in their training
camps and to follow them to the
trenches in France.

dier boy has left behind that Mr..
Campbell wants included in the
Round Robins that the Red Cross
proposes to send to the men cover
there"
With the letters might be sent, re-
entrances too, package of cigar
cites, the latest magazine, the col
ored supplement from the Sunday
papers, anything and everything that
will make the men in France know
that back home on the farm or in the
little country village or the big city
where they came from, the home
folks are thinking of them and ap-
preciating the sacrifice that they are
making by fighting the battle for the
whole nation.
''The country is full of people," de-
clared Mr.. Campbell "who would give
everything they possess to be able
to get away to the front. They don't
seem to realize that a few lines a
week to a soldier would do more good
than their presence on the firing line.
We want every soldier from this di-
vision to know that there is some
one, maybe a lot of people, who are
thinking of him and appreciating
what he is doing for the common
cause. We want every Red Cross
worker to get behind this move
ment."

BOYS In SERVICE ASK
FOR NEWS FROM HOME
Want Letters and News from Friends
More Than Tobacco, Candy or
Books

People returning from the differ
eat environments all give the same
reports of the boys as regards their
wants. 1t isn't money, tobacco or
books they want. They are being
furnished with plenty of these; the
great cry is for letters One of the
boys writes as follows: eff you
have any friends in France or at any
of the many training stations in the
United States, write them letters
every SO often. If you haven't the
time, tell your secretary to do it. 1t
doesn't make so much difference how
long it is, or what's in it, just so it's
a letter You haven't any idea of the
happiness the receipt of letter gives
or the utter lonesomeness suffered by
the boy who sees others get them and
is denied that pleasure HIMSELF
The directors Of thes Red Cross
Chapter have seen the need of this
letter writing and have appointed
Mr.. A. A. Stone as chairman of a
committee on military relief. to look
dertaking campaign to cure what
General Pershing has called "the
worst disease that is preying upon
the American soldiers-homesick
ness.''
Scores of letters from the men at
the front and in camps and canton
ments in this country, whose writer's
are all suffering from the same dis
ease of the men away from home,
have come pouring into the office of
the Northern Division of the Red
Cross and Mr.. Coler Campbell is
taking steps to remedy conditions.
From the letters received Mr.. Camp
bell has diagnosed the malady and
determined upon its cure.
Letter writing, he says, will do
more to Danish homesickness from
our army camps than all the sup
plies and medicines and garments
that the Red Cross can rush across
the ocean.
ers'lsne ard again letters have come
to the attention of division head
quarters workers, all telling the same
story. Army officers have described
the long lines of waiting men that
form on the day the mail comes.
Fine men, big men, rough and in
different men, standing in line,
sometimes for more than an hour,
break down and weep without self
control when they see the last letter
passed and not word for them
They speak about it afterward
around the camp fire. Not a soul at
home they say, with enough thought
of them to so much as send an old
newspaper. Naturally they think,
Whats the use of risking life for
liberty for a bunch at home as
thoughtless as that
Now Mr. Campbell's plan is for an
letter writing system
through the Red Cross Chapter and
branch officials are asked to make q
list of the men who have gone from
their own neighborhoods. Then per-
sons will be selected to write at
least once a week to each man. The
plan is to get neighbors and acquain-
tances Of the men enlisted, not rela-
tives, to write.
Relatives, Mr.. Campbell says, are
