Gratifying Results From
War Savings Movement

When the Honor week program
for War Savings pledges was in
augurated on October %, J. H.
Puelicher, state director of War
Savings, urged that the public assist
in reducing the holiday rush by re-
deeming all pledges to date. The
LibertyLoan campaign and other re-
cent war activities have kept so
many engaged that it was feared at
first that many might lose sight Of
their War Saving pledges for the
time and permit them to continue
until the holiday season, when this
extra amount of work would place
an extra burden upon post-office
employees and others who are busy
with the Christmas rush business
during that season of the year.
The reports so far, showa gener-
GUS response bv the people ofWiscon-
sin to the Honor week plan. Direc-
tor Puelicher and others engaged in
the WarSavings movement are graft
fed with the results obtained dur
ing Honor week and express conf
dence that the remaining War Saw
ing pledges which thus far have not
been fulfilled will be redeemed early
in the coming week. The school
children who have been earning extra
funds during their enforced vacation
and effecting saving as result Of
not being able to spend their money;
for amusements, will add greatly to
the amount collected during Honor
week. They will pay up their pledges
the first week that the schools re-
open.
"The War Saving committee is
not worried as to Wisconsin's patrio-
tism," says Mr.. Puelicher. when
the checking up comes as to the
of pledges redeemed. it will
only be necessary to notify those
who have not yet made good, and
they will respond promp tly."

by telegraph from the Gas Defense

U. S. Army, New York City, Gov

Comfort For High Cost 0f-LiVing
Victims

The plain people who lived and
kept house dur ing and after the
Civil War will tell you that they
then paid almost double the price
for necessities that we are paying
now. Four years of war destroyed
and limited products. and
prices scared. 1t was still
worse during the Reyolu-
tionary War. Abigail Adams, the
wife of the second President ST the
United States, in letter addressed
to her husbrnd in 1776, gives the fol-
lowing list of prices: Meat. 81 to 81
a pound; corn, S25 a bushel; rye, $50
a busheI; potatoes, $40 a bushel;
molasses, $12 gallon; flour, SIS
hundredweight; cider, $50 a barrel;
cheese So a pound; butterine, So
pound; sugar, So pound. In 1779
sugar rose to 81 a pound. and so did
tea. In 1880 butter sold for $12 a
pound and tea for $40.-Selected.

Another Liberty Loan Coming

Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo
has announced that, no matter what
the result of the pending overtures
for peace may be, there will be an
other Liberty loan. To use his ex-
preston, ''We are going to have TO
finance peace for while just as we
have had to finance war;
There are over 100000 United
States soldiers abroad. If we trans
port these men back to the United
States at the rate Of 100000 month
it will be over half a year before
they are all returned. Our Army,
therefore, must be maintained, vic.
tualed, and clothed for many months
after peace is an actuality.
The American people, therefore,
having supported the Liberty loan
with a patriotism that future histor-
ians will love to extol, will have an
opportunity to show the same pat
riotism in financing the just and con-
elusive victorious peace whenever it
comes.
Not for moment, however, is the
Treasury acting on any assumption
that peace is to come soon. Until
peace is actually assured the attitude
of the Treasury and the attitude of
the whole United States Government
is for the most vigorous prosecution
of the war, and the motto of force
against Germany without stint or
limit will be acted up to until peace
is an absolute accomplished fact.
One more Liberty loan, at least, is
certain. The fourth loan was popu-
larly called the Fighting Loan"
the next loan may be a fighting loan,
too, or it may be a peace loan.
Whatever the conditions, the loan
must be prepared for and its success
rendered certain and absolute. Be-
gin now to prepare to support it.

Bear These Facts in
Mind When Packing
A Christmas Parcel

Nothing should go in Christmas
parcel which will not keep fresh
from the time of packing until
Christmas.
Dried fruits and other food pro-
ducts should be packed in small tin
or wooden boxes, one. quarter to
one-half pound size.
Hard candy, including chocolate,
would probably be safe in tinfoil or
heavy cardboard, but no soft choco-
lates nor any thing that could poss-
IDLY be crushed should be used, as
the remaining. contents of the pack
age might be spoiled thereby.
Several dainties packed in oblong
tin boxes holding each quarter of
a pound will provide better variety
for packet than a large quantity of
single confection.
No liquids nor articles packed in
glass should be placed in the pack
age.
For wrapping the gifts, use a
khaki olored handkerchief, twenty
seven inches square.
When the package has been pack
ed, it should be taken, unwrapped
and unsealed, together with the
label and sufficient stamps to the
nearest coll ection center designated
by the Red Cross. After the pack
age has passed the inspection of the
Red Cross representatives as to con-
tents and weight, and been wrapped
in stout paper, the Christmas label
bearing the address of the man for
whom it is intended is placed on it.
The person sending the package, in
the presence Of the Red Cross work.
er, is required to affix stamps suffi-
cient to carry it to Hoboken, N. J.
The Postal charges are to be at the
rate of fourth class or parcel post
zone rate. A label certifying that
the inspection has been completed
by the Red Cross is placed on the
package, which is left in the Gus
tody of the Red Cross until deliver
ed to the postal authorities.

What Must | COntri-
butte to The United
War Work Campaign

This is a question that every
citizen must answer and here's the
answer: .003 of your annual income
or .006 of your pet wealth, which
ever result is greater. You can
easily determine on this basis what
your share is. In speaking of an
nual income, the net business income
is to be taken, that is, the total in
come after deducting business ex-
penses but deducting no living ex-
penses. Net wealth means your
total assets less your liabilities.
Another way to figure this is on
the basis of 3 percent of what you
took, or should have taken, as your
allotment under the Fourth Liberty
Loan. Under the Fourth Liberty
Loan each person was expected to
subscribe not less than 2 percent, of
the persons net wealth or Ito OF
the annual income, whichever was
greater; and we raised in the City Of
River Falls $50, 1000. Three percent
of $55, 900 is $3.50 and while our
quota for the United War Work
Campaign is only 81 300 we are ex-
pected to raise an over-subscription
of at least so percent or a total OF
1880. Three percent of the amount
raised on the last Liberty Loan does
not make this but, as many who had
too small an income to subscribe
for the loan will be able to contribute
toward this fund, we trust that this
amount will be more than made up
Yon can subscribe as much more
than your quota as you desire but
no one should take less than the
allotted proportion.
This subscription is to be taken
and completed on Nov. 18th. We
hope to get through by noon Of that
day. We are asking everyone to be
DIT IHGII uOII1C VI place VI OuoAhCo0
on the morning of that day to give
in their subscription. If you cannot
do this be sure to send it in. !. The
subscription can be left with the
City Chairman, at either of the
banks or with the Captain of your
ward or district whose names will
be published later. If you can not
give in your subscription on the
morning of the 18th be sure to put it
in prior to that date.
The subscription can all be paid
in cash or the pledge cards state
thae so percent can be paid in cash,
25 percent on January 18th and the
balance on March 1st.
