THE WAR is NOT OVER

c. II. Schweppe, director of the war
loan organization for the seventh fed
eral reserve district, has sent though
out the five states comprising the sew
enth district an appeal from Post
master General Burleson urging the
postmasters to continue their coop
Grafton in the sale of War Savings
Stamps and to do everything in their
power to support the great thrift
movement of the government during
the present year. In his appeal to
the postmasters the postmaster gen.
eral points TO the fact that the war is
not over and will not be until the fl
nancial obligations incurred by the
war have been completely discharged.
Following is the statement issued
by the postmaster general:
1.-THE postoffice department deeply
appreciate the splendid patriotic war
saving service of the postmasters dur
ing the year 1918 and inasmuch as
the thrift movement is to be one of
the major operations of the United
States government for the year 1919
the postoffice department earnestly
asks your cooperation with the coun-
ty, city and town war savings chair
men. 1t is not true. as many seem to
believe, that the war is over. The
war is not over and will not be over,
so far as our people are concerned,
until the financial obligations we have
incurred have been completely dis
charged.
Gas a Representative man of your
community there devolves upon you
duty to our country and to the peo-
pie with whom you come in contact to
cooperate in this most important &C
tivity sponsored by our government.
Hence. | bespeak your cordial coop
Grafton in War Savings for this year.

ing to the pile of pits on Mildred's
plate, asked:
How could you make such a pig
of yourself? l should think you

pits, and ashamed to have others see
them"
