with the camouflage girl? The idea is just the same when applied to faces, we take it. as in the case of the subnla- rines and the terrible tanks-to deceive the eye of the critical observer.

The tops of suo- marines are being painted to look ike the ripping green sea waves. Battle ships and cruisers are being painted so that their hulls will blend with the gray sea mists. Along the war fronts camouflage is being used to convey the

Memorable One.

large number of employers
throughout Minnesota and many In
dfviduals who are not employers s-e
engaged in common effort to ma. e
christmas, 1918, memorable as War
Savings Christmas.
A leading employer expressed his
thought on the subject as follows:
Fighting has ceased, but we shall
not be through with the war until
peace is permanently established, our
army is brought back and demobilized,
all war bills have been paid and nor
NAL industrial conditions have been
re-established. Therefore it is just as
imperative that we sacrifice and save
today as when hostilities were in
progress.
Nevertheless there is abundant
cause for national and individual re-
joicing. This feeling of thankfulness
and joy should be expressed in gen
erous giving during the holiday sea-
son. We are not, however, far enough
removed from the seriousness and the
sacrifices of the great world war to be
frivolous in our thanks or the material

Presents Of War Savings Stamps
and Certificates are also being gener-
ally made to soldiers by relatives and
friends and we feel very sure that the
boys could not get anything as Christ
mas presents that would give them
more pleasure or will be of more real
value to them now and later.
ITO aid the people OF Minnesota in
carrying out the idea of War Savings
Christmas, we are furnishing free Of
charge gift certificates and believe
that they will be freely used. We feel
very sure the giving of stamps az
Christmas presents will result in much
good. Incidently it is very proper
way of increasing our sales OF these
Government securities. The Govern
ment needs every cent it can get and
Minnesota is still considerably behind
its allotment. Anyone who has pledged
himself to buy certain amount OF
stamps before January, 1919, and has
not yet done so, will in this way be
BILE to fulfill his pledge and at the
same time make wise gift selection"

the idea of making the coming Yule

curities appeals strongly to me and
: should appeal to people of all classes"
A Stamp Christmas Campaign.
The Minnesota State War Savings
Committee appreciate the logic of this
feeling and have inaugurated a War
Savings Stamp Christmas campaign.
Assistant Director John Meyering is
in charge and by the use of gift GER
tificates is attempting TO make the CIV
ing of War Stamps easier for those
who desire to do so and at the same
time he believes the certificates will
convey more clearly than the stamps
themselves the real holiday spirit be-
hind the gift.
Two forms of certificates have been
prepared and distributed to the county
ployers and others who desire them.
The first of these is intended for use in
sending War Savings Stamps to SOL
diers. The second is intended for the
use of employers or individuals in CIV
ing to employees, friends and relatives.
These certificates are furnished free
of charge to anyone desiring to make
use of them and can be obtained either
from the county chairman for War
Savings or from the state headquarters
In Minneapolis.
"Our efforts to have stamps used as
Christmas presents is meeting with
hearty response from people in all
parts Of Minnesota" said Mr.. Meyer
ing. WE are very much pleased with
the way people are taking up the idea
The Sauk Centre herald. (Sauk Centre, Stearns County, Minn.) 1886-current, 1918-12-19

Mr.. Culver in a statement issued by
the Treasury Department. when the
people have lived up to their 1918
pledges for the purchase Of stamps
as they undoubtedly will live up to
them-and have purchased stamps
literally during the holiday campaign,
Minnesota should go over the top with
flying colors. In order for the state to
take it's proper place in the financing
campaign, however, it will be neces-
sary for everyone to do his or her part
not only in fulfilling the pledge he or
she has made, but in assisting the
local organization in selling all the
stamps as promised and a few more
for good measure.
1--WE are working hard on q Fulfill
ment Of Pledges Campaign and will try
not to overlook reminding everyone
of their promise to their Government
Our work will be greatly simplified,
however, IL each individual will think
back to June and recall what amount
Of stamps he promised to buy II he
has bought them, he should buy few
more. If he has not bought them, he
should fulfill his pledge at once.
"In this greatest hour of the worlds
history, there is one question that is
staring every one of you In the face.
1t must be answered and answered
satisfactorily before you have right
to take your part in the great and
justifiable rejoicing. Have you kept
your War Savings Pledge? If not, you
have failed to aid in winning the VIC

can gain share in it and all that it.
