board of health and school board

the Winslow schools continue to be
closed for another week, or until it

Saturday four new cases were re-
ported but Sunday the secretary Of

port from the doctors.

uation was unchanged. Percy Cram,
a member of the board, stated that
he has conversed with a number of
people and that the general public
opinion seemed to be that the schools

gagged in Winslow during the cpl
demic were to have been discharged
Sunday, but new cases were report
ed and both of them were placed in
families where they are much needed

An interesting story that apparent
~ accounts for Mrs. Wilson's naming
one of the new United States trans
ports the Saccarappa, which is the
old Indian name for Westbrook, has
Just leaked out and has for it's hero
Inc a we'll known Westbrook woman.
Mrs. George j. Akers, relates the
Portland Press. Some time ago, it
seems, Mr. Akers conceived the no
lion that it would be highly appro-
pirate for one. of the transports to
be so named. and suggested to Mrs.
Akers that she write Mrs, Wilson
conveying the suggestion. Mrs. Ak
ers put in her appeal in behalf of the
Paper city, and not long afterward
received from the White House a gra-
ciously and very delightful letter
signed by the Presidents wife assur-
ing her that her suggestion would be
given due consideration. Not long
afterward it was announced that one
of the tremendous new transports
which have been built for Uncle Sam
has actually been named the Sacca-
Kappa, but no one in this vicinity
knew how Mrs. Wilson happened to
settle upon this name.

OVER THE TOP
T II RIFF IT AND
NSE v ALTON

Last year ut this time the great CRY
was conservation. This year it is
thrift Last year the nation was
urged by the Government to conserve
the natural resources and the products
OF the farms and fields and factories.
Greater crops were urged, and canning
clubs and city gardens were the order
OF the day. This year the nation is
being taught the lesson of spending
its money wisely. The nation is being
shown the Importance of putting every
cent where it will do the most good.
Conservation and thrift go hand in
hand. The fact that the farmer is
not mean he is not to plant every
acre available and till his crops care
fully and harvest them when they are
ready for the reaper. 1t means that
he must invest wisely the money he
gets for the splendid crops he has
demonstrated he is able to raise.
The farmer, as rule, can find some
thing for which to spend almost every
dollar he gets. There always is ma
chinery to be bought or repaired
notes to be met, fertilizer TO be pur-
chased harness, lubricating oil and
groceries and clothing to be paid for
in the neighboring town. But in the
last few years most of the thrifty
farmers have been so we'll paid for
their produce that they are now ION
their feet" or more nearly so than
ever before.
This country has been good to them,
for they have lived in peace and have
been provided by the Federal Loan
Bureau with cheap money with which
to pursue the arts of peace. Any
economies they can practice at this
time will give them additional money
with which to lend financial aid to the
Government in its great war for right
eousness and fair dealing.
Every dollar loaned to the Govern
ment is practical protest against the
plans of a greedy, INSCRIPTIONS, soul
less power intent on world conquest,
and every dollar thus advanced serves
to shorten the period Of war and bring
nearer the day Of universal and
enduring peace.
