War Saving Stamps And
Certificates

The new issue of War Savings
stamps mature one year later than
the 1918 issue, or on January l,
1924. Their sale price in January
is A.12, and they increase one
cent month as did the 1918 is
sue. Many complaints have
been made as to the inconvenient
size OF both the Stamps and the
certificates, accordingly. The
1919 War Savings Stamps are
smaller, their color is blue instead
of green, and the certificate on
which they are placed corresponds
in size to the thrift card although

In addition there are issued
straight certificates for $50, $500,
$500 and $1,000 for those who
wish to buy in quantity at one
time.
Unlike thrift cards, a War Saw
ings certificate if finished when
the last 1918 Stamp is put on it,
whether it contains one, two or
five Stamps, just as if he had the
full twenty Stamps upon it. In
other words, additional STAMPS
bought in 1919 are not placed on
an untitled 1918 certificate, but
upon a new 1919 certificate. If
a 1913 certificate has upon it only
four Stamps it isperfect and com

A great many are unnecessarily
timid about giving news to the
paper pertaining to themselves or
to some of their family. Certain
ly they may not be interested in
anything which might be said
about themselves, but to some
reader of the paper in some other
county or state it would be of
much interest. Those same peo-
pie who are timid about them
selves find interest in the local
news about other people. 1t APP
plies the same vice versa. Do
not hesitate to give your local pa
per any news about yourself or
family, it does not matter how
large the family or how small. 1t
is not the papers intention to ig-

FRIDAY, JAN. II, 1919
BOLSHEVISM IN

UNITED STATES
The most drastic mea sures
should be taken at once to crush
the red flag agitators that are be-
ginning to make demonstrations
in different parts of the country
from New York to Seattle. Their
devilish propaganda is being
spread among the laboring class
es in the large cities to such an
extent that bolshevism is begin
ing to take strong hold of the
ignorant and mostly foreign born
element, which is always the most
susceptible to disloyal and unpa-
triotir doctrines of this character.
Every disloyal agitatorof Bolshev-
ism in this country should be CIV
en- swift and certain punishment
and deported to the country where
they can enjoy to the full extent
the results of their red flag mis-
government.
A great Bolshevik demonstra-
ton was recently made in Seattle
in which speakers advocated a
general strike to stop the produc-
ton of all supplies for the Ameri-
can army and for the allied forces
in Siberia. Again Bolshevism
has popped up its head by threat
ening to dominate a meeting of
the National labor congress in
Chicago called to decide upon a
plan of action to obtain new trials
for Thomas ]. Morney and War
rem Billings now serving life terms
for murder. In the Seattle dem
onstration it is understood that
the soldiers and sailors, when their
attention was called to the affair,
took an active part and some of
the agitators were roughly hand
led. This is an indication that
the boys who have worn the uni
form of the United States are not
going to stand for Bolshevism in
this country and that they will
stand back of every measure TAX
en- by the government to suppress
! it.
Cottonwood chronicle. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1917-current, 1919-01-17

The general idea that a thrift
card not entirely filled and turned
in for War Savings Stamp prior
to December 81 is worthless, is
entirely wrong. The same thrift
stamps and thrift cards will be
used during 1919. If a child or
an adult has thrift card with a
few stamps on it, he can continue
the same card until it is filled
and then exchange it for a war
Savings Stamp.

LEADERSHIP OF HOUSE SCORED
 BY DEMOCRAT.

WASHINGTON Nov. 3.--An attack or tho Republican leadership of the house, made today during debate by Representatie Aswell, Democrat of Louisiana, was followed by two-hour partisan political fight centering about a parliamentary effort to ex- punge the remarks. After denying the statements of the Democratic member, Representative Mondell. Wyoming, Republican floor leader, withdrew his motion to eliminate the objectionable remarts and the house adjourned until Wednesday.
 Mir. Aswell declared that MT. Mon dell had refused to permit him to have time to address the house be- cause the Republican leader knew that the Democratic member wanted to reveal the rotten leadership of the Republican party in the house." MT. Aswell also asserted that MT. Mondell knew that he wished to expose the partisanship mamie sted" by a house war Investigating committee.
 Replying, the Republican leader de- nied that he ever attempted to block free discussion of any subject, adding that he did not have the slightest idea" about the nature of the Louis jana members proposed speech. His objection, he said. was solely in the interest of saving time so the house might conduct important business. Later Mir Aswell explained that he "assumed" that the Republican leader knew of his proposed speech, and con cluding, he asserted that his remark today was afterward ~r.oved by the ' houses own conduct"
 Then followed the withdrawal oi ! fhe motion to expunge the record.

 At the same meeting Bruce l.. Grove, special representative of the board of vocational training, will talk on the plans of the board and what it intends to do concerning dis abled service men. All those in the Warren district are urged to attend this lecture, as it will be of practi- cal importance to them.
 The results of the Red Cross drive, which is being conducted by the post also will be announced dur ing the meeting. Smokes and music will be in evidence during the inter vals of discussion.

WHOSE DEAD?

NEW YORK, Nov. 8 Miss Anne Morgan, daughter of the late J. Pier pOnt Morgan, tripped down the gang plank of the French liner Lorraine, forced to a change of decks by the longshoremen's strike. Suddenly a dainty handkerchief went to her nose. Whose dead?" asked Miss Morgan in mortified tones. She had scented piles upon piles of hides ripening upon the pier.
