that many Of US have greatly helped

that the great matters Of Importance
are laid before the people, and we trust
the government Will not tax them so
heavily that they will halt their great
work. Good reading material is educa-

II is gratifying to Wilmingtonians to
have their daily papers OF the type

THRIFT HABITS
WILL RESULT FROM
WAR STAMP SALES

Reports from county chairmen
throughout the state indicate that the
war savings stamp campaign is rapid
ly getting under full swing and that
as the weeks pass it will steadily
gather momentum.
In practically every county the
various committees are fully organ
lied and have been waiting only for
the end of the Red Cross Christmas
membership campaign before COM
mencing active work. Now that the
Red Cross has again gone over the
top" work will center upon the thrift
stamps and the totals will rapidly in
crease.
Practically every postoffice in the
state is supplied with the stamps and
| each mail carrier and postmaster is
an active selling agency. State Di-
rector J. H. Puelicher has authorized
the various county chairmen to ap-
point agents as fast as possible and
it is hoped that within the next two
weeks every store of consequence in
the entire state will offer the stamps
for sale.
This movement has more behind it
than the mere raising of $2,000,000,-
900; it is intended to make a nation of
savers instead of spenders to the end
that in the future we may compete ia
vorably with other nations that have
long been noted for their thrifty hab-
it's.
The plan is SO simple that child
can readily understand it. Two stamps
are provided-a thrift stamp selling
for 25 cents that does not bear inter-
est, may be converted into SIS war
stamp at any time This war stamp
if purchased during the month OF
January will cost but $4.12, and in
January, 1928, will be redeemed in
gold by the government for it's face
value Of S. If desired the war stamps
may be purchased outright without
the use of the thrift stamp.

its height and while his father was
the first United States marshal to be
sent to Nome to keep law and order,
played the same old tunes for the
dancing and revelry. The old habitues
and the pioneers and prospectors of
1898, the gamblers and the girls live
again for a brieS moment on the
screen.

LUXURY CARS TAKEN FROM
MILWAUKEE COAST TRAINS

Railroad officials took action this
week to effect a saving in fuel by
cutting off the luxurious observation
and Understanding cars on all coast
trains passing through this city. They
were taken off without notice from
the federal authorities.
Just how federal control will affect
Watertown is not known. The taking
over of the roads, it is pointed out,
was merely a war emergency meas
ure for the operation of the roads and
no change or effect of any kind was
expected so far as the traffic end of
the business was concerned.
Strikes will no doubt be done away
with through the control of the roads
by the government. Employees of rail-
roads are now virtually soldiers in
the service of the country and a
striker will be treated, it is thought,
like a man who rebels in any branch
of federal war service. One thing is
assured and that is a square deal for
all employees.

HEAVY SNOWSTORM.
New Year Ushered In By Fall Of the
Beautiful.

New Years day was ushered in by a
fall of snow which begs n at midnight
and continued during most of the day
until a depth of seven inches covered
mother earth. 1t drifted badly in
places and impeded travel on the
highways.
There was but little hilarity notice
able about town New Years eve, in
fact there were not many people astlr
as the bells chimed out the hour OF
midnight announcing the birth OF
new year, and the factory whistles
chimed in unison in honor of the
birth of 1918.
Although the saloons were open
and restaurants also, the patronage
was not as great as in former years
and the fact was quite noticeable.
