The Real Answer

In Offering "War-Savings Stamps
to the public the Government has made
Immediately available for every man,
woman and child in the country a prof
liable, simple, and secure investment
War Savings Stamps are the answer
of a great democracy to the demand
for a democratic form of government
security. They are ''little baby
bonds" Like Liberty bonds, they
have behind them the entire resources
Of the Government and people Of the
United States. They have the addi-
tional advantage that they steadily in
crease in value from the date of pur-
chase until the date of maturity, and
this increase is guaranteed by the Cow
eminent. These stamps are issued in
two denominations, the 25-cent stamp
and the So stamp.
For the convenience of investors a
"Thrift Car" is furnished to all
purchasers of 25-eent stamps. This
card has spaces for 16 stamps. When
all the spaces have been filled the
Thrift Card may be exchanged for SIS
stamp at post offices, banks, or other
authorized agencies by adding y cents
in cash prior to February l, 1918, and
] cent additional each month thereaft-
er.
Those who prefer may buy 50
stamp outri., hit. These will be on sale
until January 81, 1918, for $4.12.
They automatically increase in value a
cent a month every month thereafter
until January /, 1923, when the Uni
ted States will pay 50 at any post Of

Tuesday evening and Administrator
Burke opened the day with a clean
slate. The number Of orders contine
ued this morning and afternoon and
made it impossible for Administrator
Burke to Withdraw the half ton allot-
ment rule even though the situation
is clearing up considerably.
"There are many complaints, said
Mr.. Burke this morning, "because of
the small allotments. These people may
rest assured that as soon as the de-
mands are small and the supply is suf-
fcient that the work of this Office will
again be turned over to the coal deal
ers and customers be cared for by the
dealers as formerly. I hope that this
will be possible in short time, but for
the present we must conserve the
supply by taking all orders here and
by allowing only small amount to
each purchaser.
Several carloads of coal arrived
in the local yards this morning and
were counted upon to meet the de-
mands Of today.

Balm SCHOOL OPENS MONDAY
Carload of Mine Run Coal With Prom

Large North Side School
Meet Situation Squarely.

The many industrial districts of
Kenosha assumed their normal condi-
tions today with volumes of smoke
curling from the smoke-stacks as they
welcomed the thousands of workmen
from the five days vacation brought
Every factory resumed operation this
morning and reports from them showed
that the employees were at the doors
early this morning waiting for the
the many machines. Fuel Administrator
Burke declared this morning that he
was certain that the clearing up of
the coal situation even as little as has
been done would have been impossi-
BILE without the suspension of labor
during the last five days.
The most startling announcement
made by the fuel administrator this
morning was that coal had been secur-
ed today which would enable some of
the schools which are now closed to
reopen. A carload of mine run was
secured through the efforts of Fuel
Administrator Burke this morning and
promises for more to come in the near
futhure brightens the prospects for the
Board of Education. Mrs. Mary D.
Bradford, superintendent Of schools,
announced definitely this morning that
the Balm school would be re-opened
on Monday morning according to
its regular schedule.
The American Brass Company came
to the rescue of the bakers on Tuesday
afternoon when three of the bakers Of
the city would have been forced to
close their doors without the fortunate
loaning of coke from the large indus
try. At the meeting of the bakers
called Tuesday afternoon by President
Charles Halberstadt Of the bakers or
ganization in this city, the situation
was carefully investigated. Two bak-
cries were found to have enough coke
on hand to supply them indefinitely
and arrangements were made with
the Wisconsin Gas and Electric Com
uany at Milwaukee to secure coke inn
mediately. Administrator Burke used
his power in securing immediate
shipment of the coke and it arrived
this morning.
There was no rush at the Office of
the fuel administrator on Tuesday but
constant stream of orders ran the
total up to four hundred and twenty.
These were all delivered, thanks to the
efficiency of the coal companies and the

The Farmers Golden Opportunity.

Nowhere in The wide world has any
one profted more from the war than
the American farmer. Prices of grain,
of livestock, and, in fact, Of every
thing the farmer has to sell are now
higher than he ever dreamed of -
and the end is not yet.
Unlike the farmers of France, Of
Italy, Of Russia, and of other countries
in the war, the American farmer can
go about his work, sowing in the spring
and feeling secure that his fields will
not be overrun by the enemy before
harvest; 1eaping in the firm knowledge
that his stored grain will not be seized
by ruthless invader.
IT'S true the farmer has his troubles.
Help is hard to get, and the cost of
production goes up month by month.
What the farmer has to buy also adj
vances continually in price, but the
farmer, unlike the city dweller, can,
if he desires, purchase very little and
still get along His living is right on
his farm. What he purchases else
where is largely in the line of luxuries.
He can sell now, while prices are high,
and buy later, if he wishes, after prices
go down.
In fact it would be wisdom if he
would follow this plan. Cut down on
the purchases of luxuries and save for
the next period of depression. That is
just what the United States is asking
him to do in connection with the War
Savings campaign. The world needs
food-all that can be produced. The
government needs money-all that can
be had. Let the farmer produce the
food and supply hungry world, and
put his money-part, at least from every
load of produce he sells-into govern
ment war savings stamps.
The security is the best in the world;
the interest rate is good the War
Savings Stamps cannot decline in val
ne. The men, women and children who
own them are insured against adver-
sity.
