During the war the japanese zinc
industry was very prosperous and
large prohts were made on ore which
was imported from Australia and the
French Indies. The signing of the
srmistiee, however, has dealt q hard
blow TO this industry. and 1t Is reported
that II costs $500 . ton to produce Jap
anese zinc. while the market price f.
only 1857 a ton. II is expected that
this will result In request for sub
sides and import protection, since the
deposits Of Japanese ore are Of such
inferior quality that competition with
imported ore cannot be met success
fully.

ably From All but Eight Dis
tricts in the State.

Mrs. Frederick A. Dow. who recent
ly undertook the task OF lining up the
10000 women of the Illinois Federated
Clubs for the Government savings
campaign. has received favorable re-
ports from most OF the club districts
on the progress of the organization
work.
Mrs. Dow asked the presidents OF
the twenty-five club districts in Illinois
to appoint thrift chairmen. She has
heard from all hut eight districts.
The chairmen appointed are: First,
Mrs. G. ID. Stone; Second. Mrs. How
ard Ames Third, Mrs. II. ii. Day;
Sixth. Mrs. w. j. Benson; Eighth. Mrs.
Inez Deach Ninth. Mrs. w. G.. Cook

Because the war is over many peo-
pie think all movements started dur
ing the great world conflict are now
dead issues" said Mrs. Dow. "But
that is not true of the savings cam
paign of the government, and the
women can play very vital part in
making this a great success, not only
10 help finance the government but 10
help themselves and the community
in which they live. Some women have
an idea that this campaign is only a
mans affair. They are mistaken.
There is no better channel to make
thrift a permanent habit than the
home. and il is through the women the
home can be reached. The job OF
making this campaign "a success is
lust as much a woman's as a mans"
