WAR SAVINGS STAMPS.

The machinery by which the pur-
chase of Thrift Stamp or a War
Savings Stamp is to be made as easy
and convenient as the purchase of a
spool of thread or a pound of nails,
in every community in the United
States, is rapidly being established.
Already $4,000 War Savings Stamp
Agencies have been established and
by the close of January this number
will have been increased by 100000:
In addition to these agencies there
will be 100000 "saless stations" !"
which do not receive direct authori-
cation to make the sales from the
Secretary of the Treasury, but OBJ
tain their stamps from authorized
agents and sell them over their coun-
tiers at their cashiers windows, and
other places. 5...* IS. = ! ,..s ..-.-
i. Fifty thousand post offices now
have War Savings Stamps on sale
and $4,000 banks and 5000 individual
firms and corporations have been ap-
pointed agents. Nine thousand in

of business in several States will
constitute $4,000 additional agen-
cies. , =. E.

News Tribune Discovers Pigeon RI

+ The Duluth News-T ribune Of Feb

tiers that the international Bridge
lover Pigeon river is not closed.
D. This is news indeed to the incred-
Eulous people of Cook county. It
Seems our back gate has been open
|1all along while we were under the
impression that one of Uncle Sans
naughty boys had nailed it up. 1t
WAS very kind Of the News Tribune
TO tell us about it, and everybody in
Grand Marais and vicinity is happy

On Saturday last Tom, our report
er-compositor-engineer-freman and
devil phoned the glad tidings to the
Inspector, and, strange to say, he
seemed peeved. He said the story
in the News Tribune was all right
except where it was all wrong. He
protested emphatically the assertion
that "he (the 1nspector) depends
upon telephone communication with
the Canadian officer at the bridge,
ind with homesteaders along the
load, for warning of possible Cana
dian travellers attempting to pass
through into the United States
He says he does not depend upon
Z communication of any sort with the
Canadian Inspector nor with home
ateaders "for warning of possible
Canadian Travellers" that the county
maintained watchman at the bridge
all last season who performed this
service for. him, and that similar, or
other satisfactory arrangement will
doubtless be made next season.
I The impression has been created,
wittingly or unwittingly, that the
people or the officials of Cook coun-
ty are dissatisfied with having i'm
migration inspections made at Grand
Marais.
e The News-Herald states authorita-
lively that no official or other per-
son in Cook county is in any respect
dissatisfied either with the Inspector

golden haired baby, grown to man
hood and gone off with gun on his
shoulder, to shoot or oh, God! Her
strained eyes watched the train
round the distant curve which took
it. from her sight. Then she turned
and she made her haf blinded way
through the crowd supported on one
side by her daughter, q young girl
sobbing for the brother just passed
from sight; one the other side, cling
ing to her and sobbing also, that
other girl who had been to her a
daughter just three short weeks, gi-
ven to her by the man child gone to
fight his country's battles. Back to
the emptied house the three women
made their way and for brief thir-
ty. minutes sobbed out their woe to-
gether. Then they picked up the
scattered possessions left behind,
the little luxuries which have no
place in a soldiers life, and put
them away. until he should come a.
gain. 1t was all they could do for
him.
Was it? 1t seemed so then, but in
a brief twenty-four hours the mo-
ther heart, the wife love, the sisters
devotion had found another way. Ev-
cry avenue of war work was some
hing they could do for him. Every
bond bought, every bandage wound,
every stocking knitted, every ounce
of food saved brought him one day
nearer home. They realized it. They
knew that every other war mother,
war wife or war sister realized it,
too. That war mother was born
leader. BY her efforts there exists
in that little town thriving society
of war women, all working to COM
mon end to shorten the days in the
trenches. There is nothing too hard
or too irksome for them to do. Their
boys will come home the sooner for
it's doing. The devotion of war wo-
men, coined into effort, is going to
be a large factor in war accomplish
ment. The first place to make itself
felt is in the food pledge campaign
now going on. No other woman can
refuse the. appeal of one of these
courageous wives or mothers who
have given their all. What is the
pitifuI sacrifice of the good things
of the table beside: their Offering?
Those involved in common sorrows
naturally take comfort in each ot-
hers company. It was the perfectly
obvious thing for the women rela-
tives Of the soldiers boys to band
themselves together in every COM
munity. Hence the appeal from
Washington to coin the special en-
thusiasm of the 'war women" into
results has been obeyed before it
was given, in many places, and there
are already flourishing little socie-
ties very much alive and more than
ready to engage in every kind of pa
triotic effort. Their influence will be
felt in the pledge card campaign as
it has always been felt in other ac-
tivities.-Iowa Bulletin.

New Librarian Comes From
Chicago; Troops Read
Best of Publications.

Camp Cody, DemiHgs \. n, Jan 23.
Earl NJ Manchester. from the Uni
versity Of Chicago library. is due 10
arrive here to take charge OF the IL
hrary established in this camp By the
American Library association. He
succeeds c. Henry Smith, who returns
to his position as librarian OF the
University Of Colorado at Boulder.
Mr. Smith and wife will probably
leave Thursday. Mr.. Manchester is a
graduate OF Brown university in the
class Of 1909, after which he was ref
ereuce librarian in that institution.
He went later TO the Chicago univer-
sity library. which lends him to the
service which he enters upon here.
The new librarian comes into a nice
new building, comfortably equipped
and Just opened for the use OF the
soldiers with 1900 volumes, incIud-
ing about $500 in the six Y. n. c. A
buildings, the Knights OF Columbus
hall and the base hospital. The Ii
braFy takes 40 leading magazines and
IS newspapers, most Of the latter
being from the states from which
most OF the men in this camp came
some French newspapers are taken
also.
That the books are appreciated by
the soldiers is shown by the fact that
about 5000 were drawn out during the
past month from the Repositories.
During the past two or three weeks
Mr.. Smith, who has just got the IL
Ralph Beals. took books and maya
zines out TO the soldiers on outpost
duty and those training at the farther

West Pointer Decries
Discrimination BetWeen
Officers and Soldiers

Washington. D. C.. Jan ga West
Pointer. representative John F. Miller.
Of Washington, is bent on knocking
out Of The American army the West
Point view Of officer and soldier. The
French idea Of fraternizing outside
Of military office hours" is. in his
opinion, the proper practice for a
democracy.
4 had the same opinion of the man
in the ranks when 1 was at West
Point as the other cadets" he said.
It's q part of the training, and the
part that's easiest for mortals to pick
up. But I came 10 see quickly enough
the fooiishness OF it. So do. too, al
most all the really big men in the
army"
When Miller made his trip. with
other congressman. to the trenches,
he says he found French men and Of
ficers mingled together; the British
rad the widest gap Of all, and the
American troops were taking to the
ianTlish rather than the French pFae-
tice.
The reason. said Miller. lis that
the English officer was always an
aristocrat by birth and his connection
with the army was almost theoretical
An officer never wore his uniform in
times OF peace; his eliminates would
have laughed at il. The French al
ways were engaged in the serious,
busy task OF keeping Up an army.
