THE MAXIMUM WAR SAVER
Is There Such a Man or Woman In
Your MISUNDERSTANDING Ono
Who Could Take $1,000 In
Stamps?

The W.S.S is considered such a
splendid investment that the Govern.
ment has very wisely limited the
amount that may be held to $1,000 for
each individual
But not every man and woman in
Missouri who could take this $1,000
maximum has done so, and 1t is these
individuals who are expected to 90
long way toward finishing out the
State quota.
With the wars demand materially
lessenlng there are more people who
can now afford to take $1,000 face val
uation Of W.S.S. Is there such an in.
dividual in your nelghborhood who
might be glad to have that fact called
to his attention? II so, 1t will be
patriotic thing to call his or her at.
tentlon to this and urge that they help
out the Government, help fill the Mis-.
.souri W.S.S. quota. and. at the same
time make safe and splendid invest
ment for themselves.

alton. But the more W.S.S. are sold
by the Government and taken by the
American people the less will have to
be raised through bond issues and
higher taxes.
Don't let anyone tell you that 1t is
robustness to buy WS.S. now that
the war Is the same as over. In tine
first place no treaty Of peace has &C.
tually been signed In the second
place, this business of changing from
war to peace basis will cost
great deal of money and that money

W.S.S. SENDING THE
HUN TO SCHOOL

Germany. a prosperous nation, with
great factories and mills and shipping,
with splendid schools and great uni
versltes, had all the outward appear
ance of civilized nation, but the auto
cratic nature of her rulers was against
wide dissemination of the doctrines
Of liberty and brotherhood.
Now that this doctrine of force and
autocratic domination has been cast
aside, Germany must go to school once
more. Uncle Sam is to take part of
the money raised from the sale OF
W.S.S. and teach the German nation
the rudiments of democracy and prop,
err regard for her spoken or written
pledges and for humanity.

WHY BUY WAR
WINGS STAMPS?
There Are Many Reasons and They
Are All Good for Good
Americans.

Don't get the idea that the minute
the big guns ceased to growl on the
West front, the war could be forgotten.
II can't be forgotten that easily.
There are hundreds Of thousands Of
men to bring back home. There are
other hundreds of thousands who
must stay in Europe. who must watch
the Hun, who must be our eyes to see
that peace is brought about. our arms
to enforce our Just claims on a beaten
foe.
We had built up wonderful war
machine. 1t cost billions to build up
and start running.
We must reverse that machine now.
II has been making soldiers. II must
now turn backward and make farmers
and merchants and factory hands and
professional men out Of soldiers. And
all that will cost money. It will not
cost the billions that the war machine

YOUR 25-CENT THRIFT
STAMPS WILL BE EX-
CHANGED NEXT YEAR

The War Savings Stamps
officials announce that all
Thrift Stamps bought in 1918,
that are not redeemed before
December 81, 1918, MAY BE
EXCHANGED FOR FIVE
DOLLAR WAR SAVINGS
STAMPS DURING 1919, in
exactly the same manner as
they have been during all the
year.
This announcement has been
made because some people
had gotten the idea that any
of the Twenty-Five Cent
Thrift Stamps that they
might have left over at the
end of this year cannot be
exchanged next year for War
Savings Stamps. Just remem-
Der. that if you do not get
your Twenty-Five Cent Thrift
Stamps exchanged before
New Years, that they can be
exchanged just the same dur
ing 1919.

KENNEWICK PEOPLE
SHOULD EAT PIE DAILY

Pie is wholesome, combining both
fruit and grain. Those who have
trouble digesting pie should take ONE
SPOONFUL simple buckthorn bark,

This flushes the ENTIRE bowel tract,
removes foul matter which poisoned
YOUR stomach and relieves ANY CASE
sour stomach, gas or constipation and
prevents appendicitis. Leaves stom-
ach in condition to digest ANYTHING.

Costs Marion County $50
Day To Care For Its Poor

The county of Marion is paying out
each year about $4,000 for the indi.
gent Of the county and for widows
pensions, Judge Bushey said today
Ten years ago, the poor of the eoun-
ty was costing it not quite $4,000 a
year, but since the 1918 legislature
passed the widows pension bin, the
costs to the county have been gradu-
ally mounting.
Judge Bushey did not attribute the
increasing bill of the county for it's
poor to the widows pension bill but
to the fact that so many INDECENT peo-
pie have come from the east and have
become wards Of the county.
The widows pension bill wac first
passed in 1919, later repealed and a
new law enacted by the 1917 legisla-
ture. II widow has no property in
excess of $500 and has children, by
the law she is entitled to some support
for every child under the age Of IS
years, until the maximum reaches $40
q month. For the first child, the wild
ow is allowed pension Of $40 . month
and for other children at the rate OF
$3.50 month, up to $40 q month. In
payments Of the widows pension bill
and for its poor. the county is paying
ont more than $50 a day.
