Passing to matters of future pol

the work OF improving the physical

salmon may find their way upward and
young salmon may pass downward. BY
dynansting distractions a consider
able number of streams now alto
gether or partly devoid of salmon runs
may be made suitable for particular
species, and the production OF sal
mon in certain regions can be thereby
materially increased.
THE bureau OF fisheries is now in
position to carry out for the first time
the special patrol of salmon streams,
matter which has been advocated
from time to time by people in Alaska.
This year about twenty Of the princi-
pal streams will be under the constant
supervision of watchmen, to see that
the fishery laws are enforced and 70

these patrols will have a motor boat

as in clothes for their elders. Aside

DRIVESDONOTCONFLICT
Liberty Bonds and Thrift Stamps
Supplement Each Other
No More Conflict in Two Campaigns
Than Between Superdreadnoughts
and Destroyers - Object Of
Both Is to Finance War.

Louisville, Ky.-Instead of the Lib
erty Loan campaign and the War Saw
ings movement conflicting they really
supplement each other.
The Liberty Loan campaign and the
War Savings movement are no more
rivals than the superdreadnOughts and
the destroyers Of our navy are rivals.
The Liberty Loan and War Savings
Stamps are two forms of the same
financial operation of the United
States Government. They were au-
thorized by the same vote of Congress
and are intended to supplement each
other. They are both of paramount
Importance to the financing of the war.
The Liberty Loan campaign is pri-
marily to obtain the many billions of
dollars necessary toward paying the
expenses of war and lending to our
allies.
The peculiar significance of the
War Savings movement is to teach the
nation to save and to invest its saw
ings in War Savings Stamps in order
that the Government may not merely
get money, but spend this money for
the support of the army.
Successive Liberty Loan Bonds will
be sold in campaigns at intervals. The
War Savings campaign will last
throughout the year-no doubt until
the war is over. 1t aims to develop
habits Of thrift that shall make the
sales of stamps cumulative. And the
person of limited means who invests
in few War Savings Stamps does his
share as well as the Weather man
who buys a quantity of Liberty Loan
bonds. Millions who could not afford
TO invest in Liberty bonds will be able
and glad to help by investing in War
Savings Stamps. The two campaigns
are, in reality, but one-that of fnanc-
ing for victory.
