WAR SAVINGS ORGANIZATION

As was the program last year, the
government is now making an effort
to organize the people into one great
thrift society. While the money arts
ing from the sale of stamps is need
ed to help defray the expenses of
winding up the war, yet the primary
purpose of the thrift drive is to ere
ate habits of saving and wise INJECT
ment. In other words, the lessons the
government would have the people to
learn are: To spend nothing unnec-
essariIy; to waste nothing, cut out
useless pleasures and Injuries, and
keep what is earned by investing in
War Savings Stamps.
Last year, Iennessee's quota was
little more than sixteen dollars
per capita, and only about seven dol
lars of that amount were sold. Grain
ger county purchased only about 25
per cent of her allotment for that
year. This year each county in the
state will have q director who will
perfect an organization and endeavor
to sell more stamps than last year.
Granger has not yet been organized
but a director has recently be 4 APP
pointed, as will be seen by clipping
from the Tennessee Thrift n WIS of
Chattanooga:
IS. r. Wester of Rutledge, is to
be the new county director for Grain
ger county. State Director Bishop
has forwarded credentials and the
new head of the Granger car paign
is already in harness. Mr.. Weater is
one of the best known citizens Of his
section and a man whose activity in
patriotic work during the pas two
years has attracted much favorable
notice. In the past he has been T.
titled with educational work. Just now
he is in the newspaper business and
therefore able to bring his work to
the attention of the people in a forci-
bic way. The State organization is
looking to Granger for even more
important results than last year."
State Director Bishop is alsocalling
the attention of stamp holders to the
"snootb individuals" who are trying
to discredit the thrift habit and to
discourage them. These fellows are
buying stamps at discount and then
having the holder demand cash with
in ten days, thereby making a profit.
A letter from Mr.. BishoD>to Ten
nessee pOstmasters follows:
Complaints have reached this Of
fee that spectators are buying WAR
SAVINGS STAMPS at a discount.
This is a direct violation Of Govern
ment rules and may lead to serious
results. You should let it be known
to your patrons that WAR SAVINGS
CERTIFICATE STAMPS may be
cashed Tin case Of necessity through
the Postoffice by giving the Postmas-.
ter TEN DAYS WRITTEN NOTICE;
that they will receice the ORIGINAL
cost of the stamps plus the interest.
We beg to quote the Third Assis
tant Postmaster General as follows:
4 have directed Postmasters not to
cash WAR SAVINGS CERTIFICATE
STAMPS unless the names of the
owners be affixed thereto; or, when
presented by persons, or firms, known
to be buying them for the purpose of
speculation
Thanking you for your cooperation
in the above, we are,
Yours very truly,

TO THE GIRL BACK HOME

Love the girls that Farley YOU.
They say we get excited
And forget the girls at home
Because the girls are smiling
We let our fancies roam.
They say we don't remember,
(The fact is, that we do)
What we promised our sweethearts
When we babe them sweet adieu.
They say we are selfish
That we think of self alone
A grab a Jane from Paris
To help US start a home.
By gum, it makes me tired
To hear that line Of talk
When for all the girls in France
/ couldn't spit across the walk.
An what makes me sore
The girls back home will say
Us fightin' fellers ditch 'em,
But this isn't quite fair play.
For US to firt with French Girls
An learn to "Parley Vou;"
But what about the girls at home.
Just what do these girls do?
They doll up in their gladdeSt,
They step out fit to kill,
Grab the first DIN Stacker
That comes across the hill.
They pet 'em and love .em--
The lovin' that is ours,
And while we are fightin'
The slackers picks the flowers.
An still they say "Be good"
Remember those at home,"
While our sweetheart takes slack
In our former cosy room.
Then soon comes a letter
From the Jane we left behind,
"Me and Jack are married,
81 hope that you won't mind.
"Of course I've always liked you
"An' I'll always be your friend.
But | cannot understand why
The girls don't wait for men.
Why they take some little sissy
That's afraid to face a Hun
An wouldn't volunteer like
Us fghtin' fellers done.
Gosh, what's the use in tryin'
To cut out booze and terbacker
If the gal you left behind you
Is going to grab the Stacker?
Now, all the girls back home,
Say, don't you worry none,
If we roughneck fightin' fellers
Have finished" up all the Huns;
Don't write a letter daily
And say that 1--WE love you,"
Because, by gum, we're busy
We've other things to do.
Just quit your gash-dinged crabbir
And crack the slacker's dome,
Because We-us fghtin fellers
Will all come back home.
You bet that we remember,
Well every one be true
To the girls we left behind US
If thse girls are faithful, too.
A Granger County Boy.

1o,o7s DEATHS FROM "FLU."
Health Board Statistieian Gives Out
Mortality Figures For State.

.Des Moines, March 96.r--According to
figures given by DR.. Gllf,ford H. Sum
ner, vital statistician for the Iowa state
board Of health, deaths in Iowa from
influenza in 1918 totaled $3.50; from
pneumonia, 3,105; from broncho-pneu-
moflia, 713, making a grand total of
10,07S for Iowa alone.
Because Of a shortage in clerical
help and insufficient funds in his offfee
Secretary Summer has. been obliged to
discontinue publication of vital statis-
tics tables showing deaths by months,
grouped according to ages, diseases,
etc. He writes, however. that his
records are complete and that any
question pertaining to deaths can be
ascertained very easily.
While the toll OF lO.G7s lives taken
by the FLU" and pneumonia Is high,
many people have estimated. or
guessed. that the number would be
higher. If the same death rate occurred
in other states. based on ratio of pro-
portion to population that Iowa has
shown. the flu epidemic was respon-
sible for approximately l.000. 900 deaths
in the United States.
DR.. Summers statistics show that
the influenza was prevalent in some
degree thruout the last twelve months.

DARKEN GRAY HAIR,
LOOK YOUNG, PRETTY
SAGE TEA AND SULPHUR DARK
EMS so NATURALLY THAT
NOBODY CAN TELL.

Hair thar loses its color and lustre,
or when It fades, turns gray. dull and
lifeless, is caused by q lack Of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made
up a mixture OF Sage Tea and sulphur
to keep her locks dark and beautiful
and thousands of women and men who
value that even color, that Beautiful
dark shade OF hair which is so attrac-
tive. use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays we get this famous mix
ture improved by the addition OF other
ingredients by asking at any drug store
for a 50-cent bottle OF "Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound" which dark
ems the hair so naturally, so evenly.
that nobody can possibly tell it has
been applied. You just daTnpen q
sponge or soft brush with it and draw
this thru your hair. taking one small
strand at time. By morning the
gray hair disappears; but what de-
lights the ladies with Wyeths Sage
and Sulphur Compound. is that, be-
sides beautifully darkening the hair at
ter few applications, It also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives it
an appearance OF abundance

trying to get money from relatives oil
soldiers Just landed by wiring the reia =
| tives that the. son or brother needs
funds at once, and then collecting the
| money when 1t is sent, il shown by
ncction with Council Bluffs persons
during the past few weeks. In these
two cases investigation showed that
the kilograms We're not sent by the
relatives and that money was not
needed. II il possible that many per-
sons have sent money. to boys IN the
service Just landed. in response TO a
telegram from some sharper and that
the story of the fake will not be known
until after the boys get home.
This week Mr.. and Mrs II. n Len
nox, eli Eighth avenue, received a
telegram saving that their son Arthur
had landed and WAS at Camp Merritt!
The same day another telegram said
he was out Of funds and that he needed
money TO come homo. on. The FAC,
hat Two kilograms were sent insVea"
of one which Acoutd contain. all the in
formation, and that the government
always pays, the. boys way home
considered with the, fact that Arthur
has good sized checking account in
one of the local banks. made the par
ents dubious OF the sender Of the tele-
gram asking funds. They had the case
investigated and learned that Arthur
had not sent the wire for money.
It is evident that some person had
learned that he had arrived, learned
his parents names, and sent the tele-
gram, planning to represent himself
as LennoX and take the money when
it was sent.
The other incident was in connec-
ton with the arrival of the nurses or
Unit X. A telegram said they were
badly in need of fdnds. The chamber
of commerce sent $500, h.t sent it to
g hank. and had that Institution in
vestigate the case Thoroughly. 1t was
revealed that the nurses had not sent
for the money. that they had plenty OF
funds and that the money sent them
was not needed. So far as is known
here the guilty ones in the, case have
not been apprehended.
