OF DEFENSE HOLDS
MEETING LAST MONDAY EVE

a meeting of the Sedgwick County
Council of Defense was held at the
court house in Julesburg last Monday
evening. Among the several matters
of business transacted WAS that of
selecting chairman to fill the vacan-
cy caused by the resignation of J. j.
Cullen, who will shortly leave this
county. w. II. Pound of this city was
selected to fill this important place,
and there is no doubt but what Mr..
Pound will use his best efforts in fur
thering the success of the organiZa-
tiOn, he being a red -bloOded American
citizen and thoroughly qualified for
the place. In addition to the selec-
tion of a chairman, Frank Sherman
of Sedgwick was elected as Vice
chairman of the organization Mr..
Sherman has demonstrated his true
patriotism in many ways. and should
fill the place for which he has been
chosen in very efficient manner.
Plans were outlined at last Mon
day nights meeting for the Third Lib
erty Loan drive, which will commence
next Saturday, April 9th. Out-of town

THRIFT STAMPS AND
THE FUTURE AMERICA

In many ways the War Savings
plan should be the greatest event Of
an economic nature that has occurred
or been put into practice during the
life of the war. So far as immediate
incidental expenses are concerned, the
national government does not need the
money thus to be raised nearly so
much as the American individual needs
the lesson of thrift through this pur-
chase of Thrift Stamps.
So far as the future of this govern
ment is concerned, the American ma
ton needs the example of the present
generation in the purchase of Thrift
Stamps. If our people, by reason Of
this war, learn to purchase govern
ment securities they will thus become
interested in the perpetuating of the
government and their investment in
he government will make them bet
ter citizens. Up to date the American.
nation has not iostered the spirit of
thrift and savings among its people.
Up to date there has been only one
government that has followed this
practice and that has been the gov
ernment of France. The French peo-
Pile are taught that they are not 10y
al citizens of France unless they hold
a considerable amount Of French Sc
curities which are issued in denomina
tions equal to our twenty-five cents
and up, and the French child is taught
to save French securities the same as
the American child is taught to save
pennies. At the end of the Franco
Prussian War when Germany demand
cd her big indemnity, France was Civ
en- ten years to pay the amount. With
in one year the Indebtedness had al.
been paid simply because the French
people went down into their savings
