SELL THRIFT STAMPS

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 31.-Put a bunch
of thrift cards in your pocket, each
with War Savings Stamp pasted on
it, and sell them to every friend you
meet.
Many prominent Atlantians have
adopted the slogan and are selling
scores and hundreds of stamps every
day. The stamps cost them a quar-
ter each, and thrift card is obtained
with each stamp. They sell the thrift
cards for quarter each, and with
one stamp pasted on. and use the
proceeds to buy more stamps and get
more thrift cards.
One prominent Albanian, an in
surance man, sold 500 worth of War
Savings Stamps in this way in the
first three days. Another insurance
man sold $40 worth.

HYDRO-ELECTRIC PLANTS
WILL OPERATE MONDAY

Atlanta, Ga, Jan. 3l.-Manufactur-
ing plants using hydro-electric power
which can operate without burning
coal for heat, and stores and other
business concerns which can operate
without using heat, are not affected
by the closing order of the National
Fuel Administrator. Dr. Garfield
The federal fuel administrator for
Georgia, DR.. L. G. Hardman, made
this discovery yesterday, after pre-
viously issuing an order closing down
all plants which use hydro-electric
power, and closing all stores without
regard to the use OF fuel for heating
purposes.
Protests from Atlanta manufacture
ers using hydro-electric power. and
others throughout the state, brought
the information officially from the
Capital that the Fuel Administrator
has no jurisdiction over water pow
er and has never attempted to exer-
else any such jurisdictions
This was the general view of the
matter taken by lawyers and business
men in Atlanta, but DR.. Hardman
seemed to entertain the idea that the
Fuel Administration was trying to
sotp business and industry, as we'll as
to save coal, and accordingly he pro-
mulgated the order which was very
promptly countermanded by the att
thorities in Washington.

"to practice indiscriminate economy
at this time is regrettable because of
the danger of injustice to legitimate
business enterprises, without any
benefit therefrom to our government
in winning the war. Furthermore, it
is regrettable because of the possibil-
ity of fostering a popular misunder-
standing of the true meaning of
thrift
"This condition, if it were to con-
tinue, would tend to discount the
valuable lessons in the sensible prac-
tees of thrift which we as individuals
and as a nation must learn from the
war.
