A Proclamation.

To the People of Iowa:
BY virtue of authority in me vested,
and in harmony with the great nation
al movement for saving, hereby des.
ignate February 3rd. 1918, as Thrift
Day" in Iowa.
In times of peace, thrift and econ
omy are prime virtues. AS war nec-
essity, thrift and saving are funda-
mental. A great thrift campaign has
been started by the national govern
ment, the purpose of which is to inter-
est every man, woman, and child in the
country in saving, so that they may
loan to the government in this critical
hour. No individual is so poor or so
rich that he should not JOIN this move
ment.
This day especially set apart is the
holy Sabbath, want to urge that
every pulpit in the state use the SUBJ
ject of Thrift" as text on this par
ticular day, and that our people every
where attend church and join in the
SpIIlC VI LLS OCC0SlOus
l also especially urge that on the
day previous. every man, woman, and
child, so far as possible, go to their
postoffice, bank, or other authorized
agency, and purchase no less than one
$500 United States War Savings
Stamp. which will cost $4.l3, and urge
at the same time that those who can,
purchase more. In this way, if all will
do their part, our accumulated savings
can be a tremendous factor in finan-
cling this war to successful victory.
want to urge upon the school boys
and girls the advantage of the oppor-
tunity that is offered them to help
their government, for these Thrift
Stamps can be purchased in denomina-
tions of 25c, and if each boy and girl in
the nation will buy one, it will put our
soldiers over the top and bring peace
to this war-stricken world.
want to urge educators. and es-
pecially teachers, to make the subject
of Thrift" one for daily study and
in the schools. The les.
son that will be taught will be helpful
not only today but in the years to come. !,
In Testimony Whereof, I
have hereunto set my hand
....... - and caused to be affixed

THE SENIOR GLASS PLAY

The Senior Class Play given by the
Senior Class Monday evening at the
Opera House, was great success in
every sense of the word. There was a
good house as Custer people long ago
concluded that their is no entertain ment
that comes to us which can compete in
interest or quality with our own local
talent. The Senior Class was assisted by
Misses Keller, Adams and Miller and
Prof. Saevig from the Faculty and Mr.
George Neavili from the Junior class
The play, three act comedy, was
very well given and the character acting
was above criticism and all did their
work with great credit. The commun-
ity represented were mighty proud OF
our young people and of the Custer
school.
Several very fine numbers were given
between acts by other students Misses
Helene Mclaughlin and Eva WILSON
sang beautiful duet, Mr.. Gordon X nee
land cornet solo, while Miss Margaret
Adair gave a very fine reading Each
number received hearty encore aud all
were very high class work and much
appreciated. Interspersed through the
program were numbers by the Custer
Orchestra, an organization second to
none in the Hills.
About $67. 90 was realized from the
evening and the audience went home
convinced that one need not go outside
of Custer to find all evening of high class
entertainment which our own home
| folks can furnish.

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS
MPAIGN

A report has been issued covering the
total sales of War Savings and Thrift
Stamps in all the organized counties in
South Dakota. This report includes all
sales from the beginning of the campaign
to March 3lst, 1918. 1t is compiled from
the report of cash received by the De-
pository Postofhce and by the Federal
Reserve Bank.
Custer county's allotment is $50, 400.
| is forty-sixth in the list with total
sale of S2,07S.92. This is a per capita
sale of GO or about SO per cent. of the
total allotment, thus putting into promi-
nence the fact that Custer county patri-
OTIS will have to get busy if they expect
TO absorb the county's quota. The per
capita allotment for South Dakota is
$1,000,
For three months the campaign has
been carried on with all the energy pos
sibe. There has been no serious com
petition from other campaigns. Wide
publicity has been given it, The pur-
chase of Stamps has been made easy for
the people, and the terms are such that
any man, woman, or child with % cents
can participate.

of it Are we paupers, or do we simply
not understand Let us quit talking
about loyalty until our War Savings

Some Good Advice.

"Don't think too much of your own
methods. Watch other peoples ways
and learn from them" This is good ad-
vice, especially when bilious or consti-
pated. You will find many people who
use Chamberlain's Tablets for these all
ments with the best results, and will do
well TO follow their example.
