and screening of the porch. Among
the visitors who encouraged the
ladies in their effort was DR.. Theo.

ten dollars and stated if they did not
succeed in getting their full amount
he would help them again. The
ladies appreciated this and were
, grateful to DIR. Smith and others witt
gave from one to five dollars. .

ADVERTISE W. S. S.
Patriotic Citizens Urged by
War Savings Commit
tee to Advertise W.S.S.

In compliance with the re
quests received by the Mansfield
Mirror for War Savings Stamp
advertisements to be inserted in
paid space to be contributed by
merchants, banks, doctors, law
yers and others, we expect to
make our next issue dated
June 20, special War Savings
Stamp issue, containing these
advertisements. Some of this
advertising has already been
sold and we hope to sell all of it
by next issue, and print spe-
cial War Savings Stamp issue
that will be credit to Mansfield
and most satisfactory to our gov
ernment.
This campaign of advertising
has been unanimously endorsed
by the Commercial Club of the
City of Mansfield.
President Wilson, Governor
Gardner and Mayor Riley have
proclaimed June 2sth as Thrift
Stamp Day. On this occasion it
is expected that we will obtain
enough pledges to put over our
individual quotas in this cam
paign.
Gaty Fallen. .directnr of Publ
city, writes us: The National
War Savings committee is anxi-
Gus for each County WarSavi1. gs
committee to use as much dis.
play advertising as possible. The
Missouri Editors have been more
than philanthropic in using their
columns to boost the various
campaigns and help win the war
We realize that white paper
and printers ink are expensive
commodities in these days, and
we feel that the merchants of
each county should make contri-
buttons and pay for some display
advertising to be used for this
intensive drive on June 2eth. The
Missouri War Savings committee
has written to each Of he chair
men and vice chairmen in the ia
counties asking them to confer

H. J. Schofeld For Judge

Henry J. Schofeld OF Norwood
announces in the Mansfield Mir.
ror this week as a candidate for
the Republican nomination for
Judge of the county court, south
ern district. Mr.. Schotield was
born and is native son of whom
our county is proud. Always a
leader in every public cause, he
has won for himself a reputation
for general usefulness enjoyed
by but few men. He has spent
21 of his 48 years in business in
Norwood, where he now enjoys
a large wholesale and retail gen
eral mercantile business. Be.
fore locating in Norwood, he was
in the mercantile business IN
Mountain Grove. He served one
term as postmaster and has al
ways been prominently identified
with the business interests of
com munity. We will not not at,
tempt to cover his parions lines
of activities-bnt among them
we might mention that he is
president Of the N,Aaaood Con
mercial Club, president of the
school board, secretary of the
Norwood Special Road District -
and his knowledge of road condi
tions and needs would prove
valuable with him as a member
of the county court, food conser
vation chairman for Clark town
ship, township chairman for the
sale of War Savings Stamps, etc
He hesitated about filing and did
not do so until Thursday, and
then only upon the insistent urg,
ing of hrs friends who knew of
bis ability to accomplish things.
He will greatly appreciate your
support.
