Stamps Cost Only
Six Cents a Day
Are you saving 6 cents a day?

Are you saving 6 cents a day?
If not, your Uncle Sam asks you to
get busy
Six cents day for every day in
the year is the thrift stamp quota for
every man, woman and child in the
state, if Oregon is to raise that $17,-
100000 war savings loan asked by
the United States government. This
is figured out on the states estimated
population of 100000, and the per
capita quota for the year is $21.25.
OF course there will be some spend
thrifts who will squander their G
cents a day instead of loaning 1t to
Uncle Sam for his war needs. There
will be men who will smoke it up in
extra cigars, and women who will use
it for silk stockings or earrings, and
boys and girls who will yield to the
temptation of candy and ice cream.
Then, too, there will be others in un-
fortunate circumstances who will not
always perhaps be able to set aside
the buffalo nickel and the little red
penny for Uncle Sam every day, So
the rest are asked to save as much
more than cents day as they can,
in order to make up for the sackers
and the poor people.
Even the babies are not exempt,
and their parents should start imme-
diately to get them in good standing
with their Uncle Sam and at the same
time be piling up snug little savings
account to launch them in life when
education or special training is need
ed later on.
When you buy a thrift stamp or a
war savings certificate you are not
giving the money away. You are
merely loaning the money at interest
on the best security in the world, to
your country for its war needs. A
thrift stamp costs 25 cents, and when
you have saved 16 of them you can
turn them in, with ~ cents in cash,
and get war savings certificate that |
will bear interest and be cashed in
by Uncle Sam for IS in gold in 1928.

May Increase Draft
Age From 81 to As

Increasing the draft age from 81
to 40 or As years is one of the 'proba-
bilities of the future" according to
Provost Marshal-Ge Crowder in
his comprehensive report to the sec
retary of war.
The draft Of the older men should
be mainly for skilled war labor, but
also to distribute the burdens of the
war. There are plenty of young men
for the first line fighting, Crowder
has shown, but he also points out
there is danger of "injuring the COM
ing generation" by taking away too
many of the "aggressively patriotic
young men,"
Out of the 10,6S3,249 men between
the ages of 81 and As, Crowder esti-
mates 3,525,472 are unmarried and
that 80 per cent of the latter figure,
or 1,4S9,SSS, would be accepted for
service under the present regulations.
Advocating this, Crowder said:
"The younger men are generally
deemed to make the soundest and
most pliable military material. On
the other hand, the older men are
more likely to yield in large numbers
the occupational skill so necessary in
the varied compositions Of the mod
ern army.
Under the national selective serv-
ice system, which seeks to distribute
the burden equally among the willing
and unwilling, It is important, IL not
essential, to include the older men,
because the smaller proportion of
them is likely to enlist"
Under the new system a card index
of the abilities of every man will be
compiled in Washington after the
missionaries are all returned. In
this way the government will be able
to put its finger on men or certain
trades just when they are needed
"The whole labor problem can thus
be controlled" Crowder points out,

More Enr0llmentS
Needed In Navy

The general public appears to be
under the impression that voluntary
enrollments in the naval reserve
force ceased on December Is, and
that after that date all men of draft
age, not previously enrolled in the
naval force, are ineligible. This be-
lief has caused the naval authorities
of this district considerable concern,
in view Of the fact that the second
naval district is in need of at least
$500 additional men for its naval
reserve force. Information in regard
to enrolment has been issued by the
commandant of the second naval dis
trict, which is as follows;
1. Selection 151, Selective Service
Regulations, does not prevent regis
trants who may be placed in Glass l
from enlisting in the navy or marine
corps after December Is, 1917.
2. A registrant who has been class
flied in Glass l may enlist in the navy
if his liability order number is such
that he is not within the current
quota of his local board under a pres
ent call.
8. "All officers and enlisted men
of the naval militia naval reserve"
ETC., are in the naval service Of the
United States. See Note 8 to Rule
XII at page 40, Selective Service Reg
ulations.
The provisions Of sub-paragraph
(a) of Section 151, Selective Service
means that any regis
trant may enlist in the navy or ma
rine corps after December Is, 1917,
upon presentation to recruiting Of
ficer of certificate showing that his
order number is so low whether he
be in Glass l or in a deferred class)
that he is not within the current
quota of his local board under pres
ent and existing call.

Oregon Woman Is
Helping the Boys

Since the time of the United
States entering into the worlds
greatest conflict, many of her loyal
citizens have hit upon novel ideas for
doing their bit" in the service for
their country and humanity, but to
Mrs. Charles Swinden of Grants Pass
perhaps belongs the honor of one Of
the most unique, says the Roseburg
Review. Mrs. Swinden has given her
only son to the service of his country
in the U. S. navy. Mrs. Swinden then
conceived the idea Of "mothering" a
number of boys in the service who
had no mothers, and so up to date
has adopted" as rumor has it, six
motherless boys, as her own to look
after their welfare while in the serv-
ice. Recently her son was passing
through Grants Pass and he wired
his mother to meet him at the train.
At that time he introduced to her two
Of the boys whom he had selected.
The younger of the two, with tears
streaming from his eyes, threw his
arms around her and sobbingly told
her that she was the first and only
mother he had ever known. The old
er lad, with less demonstration,
thanked her for her motherly interest
in him and assured her of his appre-
citation of her kindness and thought
fulness.
1t is Mrs. Swinden's purpose to in
terest some of her friends in helping
10 knit sweaters, socks, etc., and
have these things in readiness, so that
at any time one of "her boys" writes
that he needs anything, she will
have it ready to send to him at once,
and thus save him the time and anx-
iety of waiting perhaps weeks in get
ting it through the regular channels.
Mrs. Swinden is not wealthy wom-
an, being the proprietress of small
rooming house at Grants Pass. but is
doing her best in helping these
motherless boys.
This is a most commendable serv-
ice and one in which many a loyal
American woman patriot can heartily
cooperate.
