MAKE JOINT SWEAR OFF
OF FOOLISH SPENDING.
Some Pieces Of Good Advice as Pos
sibIe keynotes for Coming
Thrift Campaigns.

Here are some of the pieces of good
advice L. B. Franklin, National Dr.
rector of the War Loan Organization,
has given to War Savings Stamp
workers as possible keynotes for thrift
campaigns:
We do not want to make a ma
ton of tightwads but we do want
to eliminate the darn fool waste.
Spend wisely and save your;
money so that you can go into
business for yourself.
Spend less and pay of the mort
gage or send your boy to college.
Put little JOY into saving.
A French housewife can feed q
family on what an American
family wastes.
"When a man 'swears Off smoking
or Ice cream or something like that
he is more apt to make good in his
resolution if he has fellow resolver,
someone else who is undergoing the
same denial with the same purpose in
mind" Mr.. Franklin said. 1T Is q
joint 'swearoff.' This is the thing
we want the American people to do,
make joint swearoff of foolish spend
ing. And of course we want them to
invest the saving in War Savings
Stamps. -
eve are going to get the Joint
swearoff' idea through the War Saw
ings societies. Each member OF a So
ciety will be War Savings Stamp
buyer and each will want to hold up
his end, especially when he knows
that every other member is doing his
SHARE" = ~
This mild compulsion by public
opinion as it exists in the society will
this year take the place Of the quota
and allotment system Of selling War
Savings Stamps which was used last
year. The w.. s. 8. buyer il to be
made to want to save 40 much as he
can, rather than to feel that he must
save such and such an amount. Mr..
Franklin said the quota system of
War Savings Stamp sales was not in;
use this year. - z.<$.r.5 H. i.
The national director made it clear
that the appeal is still to patriotism
- well as, to thrift and self interest
but with the patriotic appeal changed.

DOUGLAS COUNTY, MIMI,
LEADS NINTH DISTRICT

Douglas County, Mimi o. ia,
leads all the 286 counties Of the
Ninth Federal Reserve District in
the organization and sustenance
Of War Savings Societies, accord
ing to figures compiled this week !
at War Loan Organization head
quarters in Minneapolis.
Under the leadership of Chair
man George Susens Of Alexandria,
Douglas county now boasts SO So :
cieties divided among the schools, :
community and the industrial and !
commercial divisions.
When the society idea was
launched, Douglas county was
asked to form 100 clubs and this
week, Mr.. Susens reported that
SO Of them were boming prosper
ousIy and that others were being
planned.
The Ninth District now has 625
societies. !
Interest in the societies was
never higher than this month, ac-
cording to A. r. Rogers, chairman
Of the Ninth District War Loan
Organization, and he predicts a
steady growth more rapidly than
in tho past.
Thousands of school children
throughout the district are en-
rolled in the societies." Mr.. Rogers
said, land they are putting away
their pennies and dimes and quar-
tiers in surprising style. The soci-
cites are doing wonders in, incui-'
eating the spirit Of thrift in the
growing Americans. Their fathers
and mothers, too, have entered the
spirit Of the game and are men, :.
bers in either the community So
cieties or in the industrial and
commercial societies."
The great northwest is rapidly
learning to "think In interest" and
the small change that used to be
FILTERED away is now rolling into
Uncle Sans Golfers in a steadily
growing flood.

T. II William Hohenzollern depended
on Americans Of German birth to do
his work in this country he would
never have picked August Heckert 81
Marietta, MINI. .t. 81 TT S.z.. 81
Although born In Germany, Mr..
Heckert stands today as the prize.
practical patriot OF Lac Out Parle
county with $4,000 to his. credit In
Liberty Bonds, War Savings Stamps
and Certificates of Indebtedness. In
addition to the cash investments, he
has loaned his 24-year-old son to
Uncle Sam and the youth is serving
his country on the dreadnaught Kear-
sarge. Mr.. and Mrs. Heckert have also
toiled increasingly for the various war
activities in their home town and
county. -:
Chairman J. H. Hayden of Madison
is authority for the statement that
the Heckerts are the largest holders
of government securities in Lac Qui
Parle county. = ~, -.
And Mr.. Heckert has not been silent
concerning the prosecution of the war.
He has won himself host of enemies
among old neighbors for the things
he has told them about their attitude
toward the land of their adoption.
The elimination came recently
when Ferdinand Kahlbrenner, also of
Marietta, brought suit for $4,000
against the prize patriot of the
county. The suit followed signed
article in Marietta paper, in which
Mr.. Heckert aired his views regarding
the refusal of many of his townsmen
to buy Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Stamps. The jury did not deliberate
long over the evidence and returned q
verdict for Mr. Heckert.
"The land of my adoption is tho
only land that recognize" Mr.. Heck
ert said in telling his experiences to
A. R. Rogers, Chairman of the Ninth
District War Loan Organization "This
government has made it possible for
me to succeed in business and what
ever l have, the United States can
have whenever it desires it. The jury
that gave me the verdict apparently
thought that a man who bought FIVE
or six times as many Liberty Bonds as
his allotment called for, could not be
very disloyal.'
"The case of Mr.. Heckert," said
Chairman Rogers, rs proof that the
majority of American citizens of Ger
man birth are loyal to their adopted
country"
Chairman Hayden of Madison de-
clared that the story of Mr. Heckert
should have the greatest circulation in
the coming Victory Loan campaign.
''The story should bring shame to
many persons who have been evading
their full duty to their country" Mr..
Hayden said.
