economy of time, labor and money;
we must save and invest wisely. I
will not enter into an economic dis
cussion of the subject. There are un-
doubtedly many other reasons for the
present high prices, but I think you
will agree with me in this that the
only way Of permanently bettering
our condition is by practicing thrift.
As you know, the Government real
ICES this fact and is conducting a
nationwide campaign of thrift edu-
cation and the sale of War Savings
Stamps and other Government securi-
ties. In order to make this campaign
effective, it must be popularized. This
can only be done by inducing large
number of people to spend wisely and
save. You know the majority Of peo-
pie will not do this unless they are
impressed with the necessity Of it
and are induced to join with their
neighbors in investing in Government
securities. In this way, they will pre-
vent their surplus money from being
spent for non-essentials and luxuries.
For this reason, we are convinced that
an intensive effort to sell Government
securities should be made in your
county and every other county in the
Ninth District"

What Rogers Says.

A. R. Rogers, who has won the con-
fidence of the entire Ninth District
in his capable management of the
various Liberty Loan sales, makes the
following appeal to the good judg-
ment Of the people of his district IN
urging them to take advantage of
this opportunity for good investment.
"You and /, as stockholders in the
United States Corporation, want to
get our debts paid as soon as pos
sible and with the least possible dis
turbance We want to reduce the
present high cost of living and to get
things back on substantial and pros
porous peace basis with the least pos
sible trouble and delay.
"In order to do these things, it is
necessary for the people generally to
change their present way OF spend
ing. People are still experiencing a
reaction from the forced thrift of war
times and as rule are spending reck-
lessly. / believe that one of the prin-
cipal causes of the present high cost
of living is, as someone has expressed
it 'the cost of high living" If we are
to pay our debts and get back to a
normal basis, we must all practice

Morton Indian
Commits Suicide
ALEX CAMPBELL ENDS LIFE BY
SHOOTING AS A RESULT OF
FINANCIAL TROUBLE

Coroner A. A. Passer of Olivia, was
called to Morton Tuesday afternoon
to investigate the tragic death of Alex
Campbell, young Indian who was
found dead in his home in that viii
lage. The evidence shows that death
resulted from suicide and no inquest
was deemed necessary.
The deceased was prominent young
Indian of Morton and well known as
ball player in this county. He was
graduate of the Indian school at
Pipestone and was for time engaged
in the restaurant business at Morton.
He suffered some financial losses in
real estate deal recently and it is
thought that his mind was temporar-
lily deranged in brooding over his
troubles. He purchased some car
tridges in Morton Tuesday morning
and after talking with his wife and
children at home went upstairs in MS
house and fired bullet into his head,
causing instant death. He left note
addressed to his wife and children in
which he bade them goodbye and said
that his life was only dream. He
was about thirty years of age and
leaves a wife and two children.-Oii-

VIM. Duncan Jr. of Milroy has con-
sented to become the chairman Of the
TREASURY SAVINGS CERT1FI-
CATE campaign which will be made
in Redwood county as well as in every
other county in the Ninth Federal Re-
serve district on Monday, October 8.
With Mr.. Duncan will be associated
every man and woman who is inter-
ested in the campaign for thrift which
the government is making in its ef-
fort to get the people Of the United
States back to a normal acOnditlon OF
savings and expenditure. This means
particularly all the workers in the
various w. S. S. societies of the coun-
ty, the Treasury certificates and the
War Saving Stamps being closely al
lied in purpose and thrift value. The
campaign is of a single days dura-
tion, the purchase of the certificates
is purely volunteer matter with each
individual and their value as an IN
vestment makes big claim upon the
public mind. Mr.. Duncan and his CO
workers are confident that Redwood
County will show itself awake to the
opportunity and will buy freely of
these certificates.
