WAR SAVINGS STAMPS

UNITED STATES !

day set for the signing of these
pledges, and it not only: is expected,
but demanded, that every resident of
United States subscribe. ~
1t will not only be matter of rails
ing the big sum that Uncle Sam wants
to run the government, but Uncle Sam
wants to know who is doing.att. 1t was
not possible for every one to buy
Liberty Bond, but it is certainly posi-
BILE for every one to- buy a Thrift
Stamp, and for most to buy War Saw
ings Stamps. They are government
bonds-and every one should own at
least one. s
When one realizes that even the fep-
ers at Molokai, one of the Hawaiian
Islands, have bought $4,000 worth Of
Thrift and War Savings Stamps as
their contribution towards winning the
war, it should surely be an easy mat
ter for healthy, prosperous people to
do so. These lepers have no hope Of
any future and they are many more
thousands of miles from the battle
front than the people of the United
States and North Dakota.
Cardinal Gibbons is one Of the en-
thusiastic upholders of the Thrift and
War Savings Stamps. He has sent
out the following appeal:
1.-The door of opportunity to serve
our country is flung wide open for
practically every man, woman and
child by the sale of War Savings
Stamps. This is the most impressive
thing about the movement which is be-
ing undertaken by the National War
Savings Committee.
There can be few people whose cir
cumstances will not permit them to
buy lat intervals the 25-cent Thrift
Stamp, and with each purchase gain
step by step possession of the War
Savings Stamp, for each one of which
the credit and resources of the United

success will crown the effort.
These war savings stamps are as
much of the governments plan for
financing the war as the Liberty bonds
and direct taxation. They are a man.
size investment as we'll as a medium
through which the women and chill
dren Of the country can lend their as

as safe and profitable as the larger
bonds and remain at par until redeem

war savings stamp makes it an ideal
medium for saving to those who are
not in position to invest much at one

for systematic saving and helping the
government for those best able to
periodically set aside a certain sum
for such purposes.

LABORERS FROM PORTO RICO
TO WORK IN THE U. s.

The official bulletin of the Com
mittee ON Public Information in
Its issue Of January "a, states that
the government will bring 10000
laborers from Porto Rico and the
Virgin Islands to work in the Uni
ted States and that Of these so,
600 will be imported soon. Mr..
Louis F. Post, assistant secretary
Of the Department Of Labor, in a
statement criticised the present
agitation for the importatfol Of
Chiese ad Mexican labor for rail
road maintenance. agriculture and
other unskilled labor as "unneces-
sary and prejudicial." He says
that all the requirements for hui
man labor can be met by the
proper distribution of the domes-
tic supply and by the use of those
American citizens from Porto
Rico and the Virgin Islands. He
discloses the fact that the Depart
ment of Labor through the Uni
ted States Employment Service
has been made the labor MOBILIZE
ing and distributing machine
through which there will be
brought into the country approx
imately 10000 common laborers
from the two countries named. |
Director General McAdoo has !
caused the Federal Employment |
Service to assist In supplying the
roads with labor for maintenance
and special work and the immed-
late needs of the several roads
were turned over to the employ
ment service by Assistant Direc-
tor A. 81. Smith. It is hoped to
secure these laborers as soon as
the press of the agricultural sea
son in their own localities is over
and the proper transportation ar
engagements are promised to be
made. Mr.. Post says that there
is absolutely no necessity for the
importation Of common laborers |,
from Mexico and China and that
The agitation is prejudicial, In
creasing, as it does, the false i'm
preston that there is not a SUI
ficient supply Of domestic labor.

The La. Sugar Planter ane
Manufacturer of February End
said:
| "Mr. Henry N. Pharr has sold
a half interest in the South Bend
sugar properties at Bayou Sale to
4. 5. Wooster and John G.. Clausen,
both now interested in the Co.
Operative Sugar Company's pro-
ject at Centeryille in the same
parish, and to l.. C. Grevemburg,
for many years in charge Of the
big holdings Of the Adeline Sugar
Company, at Adeline, La. 1t is
the intention Of Mr.. Pharr and
other new interests involved 20
sell the lands in tracts of about
one hundred acres to farmers and
10 facilitate the purchase Of these
tracts by small farmers; they pro-
pose to accept 10 per cent of the
purchase price In cash, with terms
on ten years credit for the re-
malnder Of the purchase price.
This movement is expected to
open UP a vast territory for sugar
development and turn lands long
out Of cultivation into both cane
and corn produc ton. At one
time there were some twenty-one
plantations in that section If
more OR less considerable extent,
but at this time only two of these
twenty-one are being worked.
Clausen and Wooster were among
the prime factors in the wonder

lect which is a cooperative one, !
and which paid the highest re-

laying ticks at first were not much
larger than the brown male ticks
The brown male ticks did not
grow any more. But the egg.
laying ticks grew larger and
larger, and the larger they grew,
the more blood they sucked from
the cow.
They made bigger wells in the
hide so that thew could get blood
faster.
Each of these wells or tick
bites makes a sore spot and q
mark in the leather made from
the hide.
The egg-laying ticks got so big
and fat that they looked like
tiny blood sausages, or little bal
looms. Each tick kept itself full
Of blood all the time. If you
had crushed one Of them, you
would have seen the blood in it.
The male ticks stay brown, but
the egg-laying ticks, when thsy
are fat, are olive-green.
The ticks sucked so much blood
that the cow became thin and
scrawny. The cow was making
blood out of feed as fast as she
could. But she could not make
blood fast enough to feed the
ticks and at the same time keep
well and strong and fat herself.
The ticks got a lot of the blood
that the milk cells of the udder
needed for making milk. The
cows milk fell off nearly two
quarts a day.
The ticks also got a lot of the
blood that should have gone into
meat and fat on the COW.
She was so thin that the butcher
would not buy her to kill for meat.
Her owner wondered why she
ate SO much costly feed and gave
SO little milk and did not grow
fat.
The reason was that a large
part Of the feed she was eating
did not help her, but was wasted
in feeding the blood-sucking ticks.
If these ticks had gotten on a
steer, they would have sucked
blood from it that should have
gone to help it grow into a fine.
heavy, fat beef animal.
If the ticks had COTTON on al
calf, they would have sucked so
much blood from it that the calf
could not grow into a strong.
healthy cow or steer.
You can see that wherever there
are ticks the cattle owner will
have less milk and butter and
