Superintendent D. L. Reid, Of the
Louisville Schools, leads Kentucky

tendent Reid has demonstrated that
the War Savings Society is the real
thing in this great war. Superintend-
ent Reid has demonstrated that the
War Savings Society is the req; thing
in this great war activity, and city
and county school men all over Ken
lucky can learn how 1t Is done by
writing him of his plan of campaigns.
The schools will cooperate fully in
advertising the third Liberty Loan
campaign, but 1t is not the desire Of
the authorities to have this bond cam
paign interfere with the steady work
of the War Savings Societies. Secre-
tary McAdoo has passed on this mat
ter in the following words:
Where efficient War Savings So
cieties are actually obtaining syste-
matte and adequate subscriptions to
War Savings Stamps, this work should
not be interfered with by an endeavor
to supersede the War Savings Socie-
ties by the introduction Of the partial
payment plan for subscriptions to Lib
erty Loan bonds.
I'm raising nearly $4,000 for our
Government during the month Of
March we have proved that we can
do very vital work in helping to win
the war. / shall depend upon every
one connected with the schools to hold
this splendid service on the high plane
of successful performance that 1t now
occupies"

"PAUPER COUNTY, GOING SOME
New York Herald)

McCreary County, Kentucky, de-
scribed as "the newly-made pauper
county," was set down in the liberty
loan allotment at $4,000. 1t is a min
ing section, sparsely settled, and, as
the allotment indicates, veyy little
was expected of it.
The county has already reported q
total of $10O,50O. The subscriptions
we're turned in by employees of the
Stearns Coal and Lumber Company,
arll the total does not include the sub
scription of the company. The amount
reported was raised in two days
campaign. Every person living at sew
eral of the camps bought a bond.
1t is a record that will be hard to
beat.

SAVINGS INCREASED.
PEOPLE ARE LEARNING HABITS
OF THRIFT, SAY BANKERS.
Deposits In =, Savings Departments
Show Little Effect From Purchases
Of Liberty Bonds and Stamps.

Louisville, Ky.-The April Trade
Letter of the Union National Bank OF
Louisville, just being sent out over
Kentucky by that prosperous institu-
ton, contains valuable information
that should be read by every banker
In the entire state. With reference to
the War Savings campaign the letter
has the following:
Before the outbreak of the war,
the normal savings Of the American
people were placed at from $4,000, OOO,-
900 to $4,000, O00, 900 per year. Today
they are estimated around $15,0O0,-
100000. As can be seen 1t is possible,
indeed, essential that we finance the
war as far as practicable out of the
current earnings and savings of the
people, and each day brings about a
clearer conception of this idea. The
purchase of War Savings and Thrift
Stamps is extending rapidly, $4,000.
900 being sold in March, and it is esti.
mated that out of the jingling, burning
pocket money of men, women and chill
dren, there will be loaned to the Gov
ernment, without serious sacrifice,
81, 900 900, 000-a sum equal to the
First Liberty Loan.
"On April l, 1917, there was in the
local Postal Savings Bank 100000.
In spite of heavy Withdrawals, some
by foreigners who foolishly feared the
Government might seize their savings,
and others for the purpose of buying
Liberty Bonds, the net deposits during
the year ending March 81, 1918, in
creased $4,000
"In the savings department of
Louisville banks and trust companies,
where 1t was thought payments for
Liberty Bouds would hit hardest, we
find for the year ending March 1. 1918,
a reduction of less than per cent,
but there has been an increase in the
number of depositors, whose potential
value more than offsets the amount lost.
This amount has not been dissinated.
II represents part Of an investment
and carries with 1t a power plus a
liked habit Of enduring benefit. As
against this trifling, temporary loss in
savings, general deposits in Louis,il lille
have Increased during the year ending
April LIST over s5,OOO,OOO, and individ-
ual deposits in national banks Of the
United States Increased between May
/, 1917, and December 81, 1917, over
81 900 .O0O. 000."

!. THE BOY SCOUTS IN WAR
!. TIMES
i !. !. j. !. i. !. !. i. !. !. !. i. :!

People have asked what Is the fun
damental Of the Boy Scouts movement
and II scouting PRINCIPLES are prov-
ing their capability to war condition.
In answer to this we quote from tie
constitution Of the oy Scout of Amer
lea which states the policy OF the Or
ganization concerning military actiyl-
ties as follows:
I'm carrying out the purpose of the
Boy Scout movement as stated here
in, technical military training and
drill shall not be included for the
reason that they are not equal in val
ue or as suitable for boys of scout
age in training for good citizenship
as the program of scout activities"
From the beginning of the move
ment its leaders have emphasized the
fact that the Boy Scout movement
was started by great military leader
because of the failure of military ac-
tivities to develop the kind of charac-
ter and citizenship which were essen
tial to national success and that the
movement while not anti-military was
concerned with the development of
character and citizenship in boys and
not for the living of technical train
ing for military service.
When the U. s. entered the world
war, the question naturally arose
what will the Boy Scouts do?" The
Boy Scouts of America promptly an
swered that question. ThcusarGs cf
Scout leaders and thousands Of scouts
who had reached an age at which they
were eligible for military service en-
listed Immediately.
The scout leaders who were no. in
position to serve their country in
the army, navy or some other branch
of the government Loyalty committed
themselves to the plans formulated by
national headquarters for the start
ing of war gardens for increasing
food production on farms for an
emergency coast patrol service which
could be placed at the disposal of the
navy department Immediately upon
request, for the sale of the Liberty
Bonds and War Savings Stamps, for
the distribution of literature issued by
the committee on public information
and for any and all services desired
by our government.
The fundamental policy of the Pow
SCOUT momevement has not been al
tered. 1t has proven its adaptabilitv
to war conditions The service of
scouts and scout officials who have
entered the army and navy has de-
monstrated the value of the oy Scout
training. In cases too numerous to
mention these men have received COM
missions and have been assigned to
technical work which could not be
done by men who lacked the training
which scouts received.
The enormous increase in the mem
bership Of the Boy Scouts of America
since the beginning of the war shows
that the boys of America appreciate
the fact that the Boy Scout program
gives them their best opportunity for
serving the nation in its greatests
hour of need.

Save For America.

saving is vital to the success Of
the war. France has been able to
make a gallant fight against Germany
because her people were taught the
habit of thrift. During the Liberty
Loan there should be no let-up in
saving, and the sales of War Savings
Stamps, as was the experience in
England, ought to increase.
Every time you buy War Savings
Stamp, with money you have saved,
you are performing patriotic service.
The government merely asks you to
lend the money and will pay interest.
In 1923 you will receive the face value
in gold. Buy War Savings Stamps
and help win the war. 3

END PRIVATE RECRUITING
OF COMMON LABOR
War Industry Requirements Are APP
portioned on Basis of State Popu-
Iation-GoverDme in Charge.

New York, July 31.-The Federal
Government will tomorrow take over.
in every State in the Union, the re-
cruiting of common labor for the
quirements for war industries have
been apportioned to the various
States on a basis of population, and
as men are needed they will move
forward TO meet the demand, wher-
ever this may be. The aim is to
eliminate the wasteful turnover of
labor; stabilize wages; increase the
production of essentials and give
efficient support to the man in the
trenches, who needs from six to 10
men to work for him in this country
every day he is in France
Announcement of this plan was
made at a luncheon given in New
York city today to Secretary of La
Dor Wilson by Grosyenor R. Clark
son, secretary of the Council of Ma
tional Defense. to a gathering or
newspaper publishers. Mr. Wilson
made an address, in which he dwelt
upon the problems facing the Gov
eminent in the matter of mobilizing
labor in the United States, and the
steps taken to meet the situation.
John 3. Densmore. director general
of the Federal Employment Service,
outlined in detail the drastic plans
which will result in prompt transfer
of workers to the fields where they
are most needed, and from the non
essential to the essential industry.
