Graham guardian., 1919-02-21
TO ALL LOYAL AMERICANS

The following letter of advice
from the Arizona War Savings
Committee to citizens of Graham
county who have purchased Lib
erty bonds, is worthy of the
deepest consideration:
If you have not sold and do
not not intend to sell any of your
Liberty Bonds, this letter is not
intended for you.
If you have sold or contem-
plate selling any of your Liberty
Bonds, read and study this letter
carefully, then put your Liberty
Bonds in a safe place and KEEP
THEM.
Speaking recently on the sub
ject of the selling of Liberty
Bonds. which has been taking
place, the Secretary of the Treas
ury said:
"Our boys at the front in tAe
service of their government have
never quit. If you sell your
Liberty Bonds, you quit at a time
when the government needs your
continued support. Every time
you quit by selling your Liberty
Bonds, you hurt the credit of
your government and make It
more difficult to finance the war.
The cost of the war continues
until peace is signed, and our
gallant boys are brought back to
American soil. !"
We wish to urge upon every
one of you not to sell your Lib
erty Bonds under any circum-
stances. If you are without food
or are about to be dispossessed
from your home, then is the time
to consider borrowing money on
your bonds, but not until then.
This also applies to War Saw
ings Certificate Stamps and Thrift
Stamps. Do not sell either.
Always remember that if the
boys who sailed from this coun-
try for France, after arriving in
France had turned and come
home without fighting, we would
not be talking about holding Lib
erty Bonds, but would probably
be getting together all we own in
the world, each and every one of
us, for the purpose of handing it
over to the kaiser In the form of
taxes.
If Liberty Bonds sell at less
than par on the Exchanges, it is
simply because a lot of people
are dumping them on the market
instead of holding them as they
should do. These bonds will
eventually sell at par or above,
and your money is safer in them
than it would be in any oiher in
vestment.
If. in the future, the roll is
called for holders of Liberty
Bonds. be sure you have your
badge of honor in the form Of
your original Liberty Bonds.

director of the woman's bureau; Com
missioner Louis Brownlow and Maj.
Raymond W. Pullman, superintendent
of police. Members of the Monday
Evening Club were of the opinion. in
appointing the committee named. that
the work of the woman's bureau was
50 meritoriouS that full publicity
should be given to its accomplish
mentS.
The greatest one particular work

done is very little compared with
what it certainly will do"

Needs No Defense, Pullman Says.

The work of the woman's bureau
needs no defense. Maj. Pullman de-
clared. All it needs is that the public
be rightly Informed of its work. he
said. Too much cannot be done for
the unfortunate women and children
of any community. the superintend-
ent of police continued.
Maj. Pullman said, in part:
TOO much cannot be said to the
credit of the public-spirited women.
who, with Mrs. Van Wrinkle. have han
died most efficiently hundreds of
cases in the interest of girls and
children who have been so unfortu-
nate as to have been arrested or to
have been otherwise brought to the
attention of the police department.
Scores of mothers and relatives over
the country have expressed apprecia-
ton of the work which the bureau
has done to check the hayward ca
reers of some girls or to provide for
the treatment and care of others who
may have fallen and needed medical
attention.

Club Asked to Aid Probation Work.

The Monday Evening Club was
asked by Mrs. Van Wrinkle to take
up the question. of probation work in
the Police Court, which, she declared.
is totally inadequate today, there be-
ing 1900 active probation cases, with
but three persons to handle them. 1t
is impossible for these three officers,
Mrs. Van Wrinkle asserted. to give the
necessary care to the 1900 cases
Mrs. Van Wrinkle said she would
like to see the day when girls could
be tried separately, and not in police
courts where men are tried. The head
of the woman'S bureau outlined the
formation of the bureau and the
work of its members. She explained
that girls below the age of eighteen
are taken to Juvenile Court, if they
must be taken to court. but that only
fourteen cases in fourteen months
had been so taken. OF 120 cases only
seven girls had to be sent to institu-
tons. "All the rest have made good,
Mrs. Van Wrinkle said.
The bureau located 40 missing girls
last year, Mrs. Van Wrinkle stated. In
making medical examinations of girls
she said. either the pare IS or the
girls consent is obtained irSt. Civ
ing collateral is one of the faults in
local police work, Mrs. Van Wrinkle
declared
Selden NJ. Ely opened the meeting.
and Arthur d. Call presided during
the discussion which followed the ad-
dresses. n. NJ. JOSH of Bombay, dele
gate to the international labor con-
ference, was given the courtesy of the
floor and made a brief address.

STILLS ARE RAIDED
AND SUGAR SEIZED
Revenue Officers Penetrate Mountain
Fastness of Georgia to Hit Hoard
ing and Illicit Whiskey Traffic.

Atlanta, Aug. 21.-There is terror
in the illicit whiskey centers of Geor-
gia today. Revenue officers, more
than a score of them, are ferreting
out huge quantities of sugar, going
right into the mountain fastness, and
making seizures, or rather libeling
these sweets and seizures will be
made later.
More than 10000 pounds of sugar
have already been libelled Although
the Identities of owners are withheld
temporarily by the Atlanta office,
whie the seizures are in progress, it
was revealed today that the quanti-
ties taken were distributed in this
fashionI Columbus, 1000 pounds;
Tate, 5000 pounds; Ball Ground, s.
600; in Hall county, near Gainesville,
1000, and near Canton, 1000 pounds.
"This is a double -barreled action"
said D. j. Gnatt chief revenue agent.
I'VE hit boarding and the moonshine
traffic at one time There have been
scores of complaints that the illicit
distillers were buying up sugar at such
high prices that the lawful consumer
in the small cities and towns could
not get enough for their tables"
The complaints recited in many in
stances the identities of storekeepers
who sold the sugar to dew boys" and
also the names of many of the larger
operators in illicit whiskey. In one
case known to the officials, store
keeper in small town hcf bought
and sold 10000 pounds in June ana
$1,000 in July.
Prices paid by the moonshiners ran
as high as 40 cents a pound. This
nlade competition by householders for
the grocers' supplies impossible.
Hearings will be held later in the
United States district court and the
owners will be required to show cause
why it should not be taken over by

bacco that is now being marketed is

season, due doubtless. to the greater
care planters are taking in preparing
