CUSTER COUNTY
To Take Action in the New Government
Thrift Stamp and the Baby
Bond Drive.

Mr.. Clifford Kneeland has this week
received the appointment of chairman
of the county in putting on sale the
Thrift Stamp and Baby Bond. He has
accordingly appointed as assistants the
following parties who will cooperate in
putting on the Drive:
Robt. McAdam, Custer.
Floyd Bond, Pringle.
w. A. Matteson, Dewey.
A. IL. Herbert, Bakervlle.
Buffalo Gap State Bank, Buffalo Gap.
Hermosa State Bank, Hermosa.
Lillian Smith, Fairburn.
There will be established probably in
Custer an agency of the first class which
together with these sub.agencies will
obtain supply of Stamps and Bonds for
sale and supply all purchasers. Each
Local Agent will be responsible for hav-
ing the Stamps and Bonds placed on sale
in their respective community in stores,
schools, and all possible places.
1t will entail no sacrifice on the part
of store or business place, or even to
the sub-agencies, to purchase outright
the Bonds and place them on sale. They
begin to accumulate per cent interest
from purchase and each month the in
terest is added to the selling price. In
this way no loss is entaied and all can
materially assist in the drive.

GRAZING PRIVILEGES
R6TTnn ~ Hm

GRAZING PRIVILEGES
MUST NOT BE SOLD.
Washington, Jan. l4:-The Secretary
of Agriculture is notifying all holders of
permits for grazing live stock on the
National Forests that the payment of
any bonus or allowance for waiver of
the grazing privilege in connection with
sales of live stock or ranch properties
will be cause for revocation Of the per-
init.
This is in accordance with one of the
regulations governing the use of the
National Forests for grazing privileges,
which provides that permits will be
granted only for the exclusive use and
benefit of the owners of the stock and
will be forfeited if sold or transferred in
any manner or for any consideration.
To protect permittees who may wish to
dispose of their property against the
losses which sacrifice sales would in
volve, it has been customary to allow
continued use of the National Forest
ranges by the new owner. Without
some provision for this, the Forest Ser
vice grazing officials point out, holders
of permits who wish to go out of busi-
ness would not be able to obtain a fair
value for their property. But the pro.
cedure has aimed throughout at such
safeguarding of the situation as would
prevent the acquisition of anything APP
preaching vested rights in the public
property by private individuals or com.
panies.
Owing to the great and over-growing
demand for use of the Forest ranges,
which is now in most regions far beyond
their capacity, the grazing privilege is of
large value. Upon the National Forests
the Government applies a system of reg
ulated use designed 10 encourage pro-
duction, promote the upbuiIding of the
country along healthy lines, and secure
the greatest good to the greatest number
but makes only a moderate charge for
the grazing permits.
In the view of those in charge of the
National Forest grazing business, it would
be entirely unfair for the public to fore
90 a maximum return for the value of
use of its property and then allow those
granted the privilege of use to collect
this value from others, as the price of
surrendering their privileges. Such a
practice would, they say, make competi-
tive disposal by the Government of the
grazing the only logical course.
As Secretary Houston says in warning
the range users that the payment of
bonuses or the giving of any considera-
tion to secure the filing of a waiver of
the grazing privilege is prohibited, ''such
a payment would be a consideration for
a privilege the granting of which is
wholly within the discretion of the Gov
ernment and for which no one is entitled
to receive compensation" Therefore
any such payment will be Sufficient
cause for the revocation of permit or
forfeiture of all grazing preferences based
upon the purchase of permitted stock"

WOMEN TO REGISTER
Systematic Effort to Handle Woman Pow
er as Well as Man Power Dur
ing the War.

II is really a census Of the woman
power of the country. Though not com
pulsory, the Federal Government asks
for and expects such census.
Points to be Noted.
l. In registering print the initial let
ter of the surname, and if married give
husbands initials in parentheses.
,. The Government needs to know
ones age in order to determine ones fit
ness for various kinds Of work
3. Citizenship The question of citi-
zenship is very important. Amy woman
born in the United States is by virtue of
birth Internationally citizen of the
United States.
Any woman of American parentage is
a citizen of the United States no matter
in what country she was born.
A woman whose citizenship has been
lost through marriage with an alien be.
comes automatically again an American
citizen in case of her husbands death.
In case she is out Of the country at the
time of her husbands death she must
ithin year declare before the nearest
consul her wish to resume American
citizenship. Failing so to declare, she
must be naturaized as if an alien.
1. Children under High School age
are considered dependents
B. References in case of volunteers
are valuable in tracing volunteer should
she move before her services are re-
quired.
q. In registering for emergency ser
vice registrar should specify whether the
woman will or will not leave home town.
Z. EncirCe numbers opposite wom-
ans different qualifications. Underline
any that she offers for paid or unpaid
service.
s. Do not mark the tabs until the in
vestigation of woman's qualifications is
complete. Place the number of her best
qualifications in the proper tab, desig-
mating whether paid or unpaid, trained
or unframed service is offered.
The purpose Of the Woman's Commit
tee of the Council of National Defense is
to coordinate the activities and the re-
sources ofthe organized and Unorganized
women Of the country that their power
may be Immediately utilized in time of
need, and to supply a new and direct
channel Of communication and co-opera-
ton between women and governmental
departments.

Stamp by buying S4.l2, then buy one,
and buy at least one a month every
month thereafter.
Deny yourself something now store

joyments now because of the terrible
things that are happening all the time,
and your conscience will commend you
for it.

encouraged to buy them. They will be
better Americans for doing so.

WE NEVER FORGET

My advise to workingmen is this:
If you want power in this country; if
you want to make yourselves felt; if
you do not want your children to wait
long years before they have the bread
on the table they ought to have, the
opportunities in life they ought to
have; if you don't want to wait your
selves, write your banner so that
every political trimmer can read it,
eve never forget" If you launch
the arrow of sarcasm at labor, we
never forget; if there is a division in
Congress, and you throw your vote in
the wrong scale, we never forget.
You may go down on your knees and
say, 81 am sorry l did the act" and
we will say, 1t will avail you in
heaven, but on this side of the grave,
neverl" Wendell Phillips.

Want Women on Labor Board.

The appointment of two women as
members Of the national war labor
board, one of them to be trade union.
ist, was urged in telegram to Pres
ident Wilson and the secretary of la
Dor from the executive board of the
National Women's Trade Union
league. Virtually every case that
comes before the national war labor
board now, 1t is stated, involves large
numbers of women workers, and as
this condition will become the more
marked as the draft proceeds, 1t be-
comes both a matter of justice and OF
necessity, say the league officers, to
have women's viewpoint represented
in the membership Of the war labor
board.

British Strike Averted.

Announcement was made at London
that a settlement had been reached
between the striking railroad en-
ployees and their employers. Thus
the threatened national railway strike
has been averted. The agreement
provides for an increase of $1.20 week
ly for man and woman workers over
eighteen years of age and 60 cents for
those under eighteen. The government
also is to appoint committee to in
quire into the question of equal pay
for men and women for equal work.

shared equally by the armies OIL Per
shing and Petain and all the way from
the Suippe river to the Meuse the
Germans were forced back, their bases
and railway centers at Somme-Py and
Challerange being in immediate peril.
The Americans made the swiftest prog
ress along the Mouse valley, taking
many towns and thousands Of prison
ers. The Huns were withdrawing all
their forces except machine gunners.
At the time Of writing the Yanks and
French were still advancing.
This new allied attack came log
ically after the Huns were driven
back to the Hindenburg line and was
well timed, for the enemy had concen-
trated his heavy guns and all the
troops he could spare further north to
defend st. Quentin and Laon against
the persistent assaults of the British
and French. For quite distance east
ward from Reims the terrain Is so
open that the movement Of the allies
is favored, and any considerable adj
vance there would tend to cut the east
ward communication lines from Laon,
which city has been the pivot Of the
entire German system from Reims to
Flanders.
