PLAN FOR BOOSTING
SALE OF WAR STAMPS
Chairmen of AZ County Com
mittees Consider Patriotic
Suggestions

Numerous plans for the selling of
war savings .and thrift stamps, as well
as The general discussion as To the legal
rate of interest Of these stamps If the
next Liberty Loan Is to bring IIa per
cent Interest, were the chief topics of
discussion when the chairmen of the
forty-seven war savings committees Of
1T the Bellevue-Stratford
VIA A house-to-house canvass was the sug-
-'Kestion of T. &. Bendere, assistant di-
rector for the counties. Mr.. Bendere
said that a parade of all citizens who
have purchased these stamps would be
= wise move. He felt that this would
DO much toward Fastening the skeptic
ones to invest in stamps.
Robert n Cassatt. state director. felt
that a system of education among the
mothers and fathers Of school children
would do much to increase the sales.
He suggested that the committee OF
public safety allow the war savings or
gRnization the loan OF their four-minute
speakers.
One of the chairmen offered "a new
poster TO be used in the campaign. II
tx copied largely after the Red Cross
Christmas-drive posters. but instead of
having a Red Cross in the center 1t has
an American eagle. This poster proved
extremely successful in the Red Cross
campaign. and it Is hoped that the Amer
lean eagle will be seen beside the Red
Cross In every window.
A lively tilt between A. Lyons, Federal
savings stamp director, and several of
/. sthe county chairmen ensued when they
differed as to Inc rate Of interest these

WARNS OF SHIP TRANSFERS
Action Tantamount to Indirect Par
ticipation in War, Says Newspaper

AMSTERDAM March S.--Tho Nord-
deutsche Allgemeine Xeituug warns ne,s-
tral States In connection with the ncGu-
tiations by the United states to acquire
neutral tOnnag" and argues that vessels
so acquired assume "A hostile character
and must be treated as such no matter
whether the tonnage is employed within
or without the barred zone.
The paper contends that such transfer
Of tonnage by neutrals is tantamount to
indirect participation by neutrals in
economic war against Germany and in
wolves serious danger of complications
"as already shown in the history of the
United States during the present war"
1t adds that participation by neutrals in
such negotiations is an act hardly con-
sonant with neutrality.

sent at five o'clock stated that
she was very low and sinking

Yesterday on Bostick street,
a couple of ladies picking beans
in a garden observed what they
thought "a funny looking
mouse" When the funny look
ing mouse arose ferociosly,
spread out it's hairy legs and
made for them, a gentleman
looking over the fence shouting
at the same time "look out, its a
tarantula," the ladies got over
the fence much more specify

FOUND A MARES
NEST.
Hugging C|ose|yIt S
Characteristic Mis-
information

The Herald has found a
mares nest-two of them-in
the school construction CONTRACT
and insurance.
With characteristic impu
dence the Herald is endeavor
ing to stir up trouble on the
school matter-the fire losses,
the reconstruction contract, etc.
Yesterday evening a repre-
upon one of the school board
upon one of the school board
and asked for a statement of
conditions. Following is an out
line of what he said:
The Herald misstated when
it asserted that Doctor Cheno
weth and Mr.. Wylie put over
on Mrs. Clagett, the third mem
Der of the board, a contract OF
which she did not approve. Mrs.
Clagett and Doctor Chenoweth
stood together on that contract,
with Mr.. Wylie in opposition
and he signed the contract I'm
der protest.
With regard to the insurance
the trustee stated that the Her
AIDS assertion that the insur
ance money is lost is without
foundation. The only loss is
that of $1,000 paid the contrac
tor. Thelie was insurance to
the amount of $4,000, of that
$1,000 were paid under adjust
ment of the loss at the time of
the fire in May. That leaves
$4,000 intact, in the policy, I'm
expended. Then of the $1,000
there are still $4,000 in the
bank. The other $4,000 was
paid the contractor who was
rebuilding the structure. TAX
ing the face value of the policy
as issued, with the deductions
for that which has been PAID,
the insurance companies still
owe the district the sum of
$4,000. Add that to the $4,000
in the pank-the school LIS
thict has $4,000 available for a
new edifice.
