A new SLOGAN
FOR old CUSTOM
make This a Thrift Christmas
if You Want to Be in
Style This Year.

The slogan for the holidays recon-
mended by the Government Loan Or
ganization in carrying on the Thrift
Citizens movement in this district is,
make this a Thrift Christmas"
Two objects in the Thrift Christmas
idea are: First to encourage the Civ
ing of serviceable Christmas presents,
and second, to discourage the practice
of exchanging useless articles.
Co-operation of the various women's
organizations, members of Thrift
Clubs In this district and others, is
sought in an effort to popularize the
idea.
Considerable time, energy, money
and material are wasted every year
through giving useless Christmas
presents Nobody gets any permanent
good out of them except in the senti-
ment attached to the gift. This annual
exchange of presents, however, Is
custom that should be preserved. The
same sentiment can be expressed in
gift that will carry some actual benefit
to the recipient.
With the present high cost of living
It is more important than ever that
every dollar should be made to count.
Wisdom and judgment should be used
in making purchases. Articles selected
should have a real value; should be
needed by the person for whom they
are intended. Most folks would rather
have common-sense presents. Every
one would he happier and much better
off Christmas if they gave and re-
ceived Thrift CN'issmass gifts. such
as Savings Stamps and Treasury Say
ings Certificates.
Hundreds of banks and corporations
this year will make payment of annual
bonuses TO emploveos in the form of
Treasury Savings Certificates

CITIZENS MOVE
Larue Attendance Of Prominent
Citizens at Series of Meetings
Throughout the District.

From every part of the State, re-
ports received at headquarters OF the
Government Loan Organization, New
York City, indicate that the intensive
effort under way for the past fort
night has resulted in the enrolment
of hundreds of leaders in the Thrift
Citizens Movement.
At every city where organization
meetings have been held the response
to the appeal to work and save has
been spontaneous and enthusiastic.
Men and women prominent In every
walk of life in the several communi-
ties have come forward to volunteer
their assistance by setting an exam
pie for their fellow townsfolk.
officials of the Government Loan Or
ganization who have toured the State
have sought to emphasize the impor-
lance and necessity of concerted &C.
ton on the part of the public to pro-
duce more and consume less. 1t Is
only through this method, 1t has been
pointed out, that a solution for much
Of the economic disquietude and in
dustrial unrest can be evolved.
How fundamentally sound Is this
doctrine is indicated by the ready re-
Spouse from the attendants at the sew
eral meetings, the majority of them
the foremost business and professional
men and women in their respective
communities. Not only have these
people enrolled as Thrift Leaders by
personally indorsing and participating
in the movement through investment
in Treasury Savings Certificates, but
they have readily agreed to interest
others to do So Thus the Thrift Citi-
zens' Movement assumes the force of
an endless chain plan, and its results
are not Immediately measurable.
Among the immediate results Of the
Movement, however, may be noted that
scores of business men and captains
of industry who attended the regional
meetings have become enthusiastic
thrift disciples. Already number
have followed the suggestion of organ
izing their offices and plants into thrift
centers, and great army of recruits
win soon become Thrift Citizens.
Meetings have been held in Albany,
Syracuse, Rochester, Utica, Buffalo
and Brooklyn, in New York, and New
ark, in New Jersey.

SECRET SERVICE
HOT ON TRAIL OF
STAMP SCALPERS
Nation Wide Crusade Against Un-
lawful Handling of Savings
Stamps Results in
Many Arrests.

Transactions in War Savings and
Thrift Stamps, which since the armi-
stice have afforded lucrative field for
thousands of scalpers, have materially
,lessened since the institution of whole
sale raids throughout the United
States. Department of Justice and Sc
cret Service agents have investigated
scores of dealers in these securities,
and as a result a great number Of ar
rests were effected.
Representatives of the Treasury De-
partment for some time have conduct
ed a quiet inquiry into the operations
of these Illegal brokers and repeatedly
warned them against the continuance
Of the practice. Failure to observe the
quiet "tip" they were given led to the
Inauguration of sterner measures
1t was the practice of scalpers to
buy up at prices ranging from a few
cents to a few dollars below their
value filed and partially filled books
of War Savings and Thrift Stamps for
redemption at the full value. In some
cases persons who purchased the
stamps originally foolishly sought out
these brokers in order to dispose of
their stamps quickly instead of re-
deeming them at the post Office, as
provided by Treasury Department reg
ulations
Taking advantage OF this situation,
the scalpers represented themselves in
some instances as Government agents
and prevailed upon gullible and needy
victims to part with their holdings at
prices greatly below the market value
The scalpers then, of course, redeemed
the stamps at the post office at full
price.
In raids conducted by the Secret
Service agents upon brokers' Offices
from New York to Chicago large guam
titles of stamps were discovered and
conflscated. 1t is expressly stipulated
by Federal ruling that stamps are not
transferable and may be redeemed
only by the original purchaser at a
post office after ten days notice. In
practically every case where arrests
have been made the prisoners have
been held by United States Commits
sioners in heavy bail, generally amount
ing to $4,000.
If the prosecutions just begun with
the idea Of breaking up what is be-
lieved to be nation wide league Of
stamp scalpers does not have salu-
tary effect the raids. 1t is announced,
will be continued. Investors In War
Savings and Thrift Stamps are urged
II possible to hold on to their securi-
ties, but If necessity compels them to
redeem them they are advised to make
the transaction through the post office

said Judge c. w. Smith who investi-
gated the case for the governor.
There are numerous cases of paroles
in Sedgwick county for men who have
been shown to be confirmed bootleg
gers. 1t has been a general custom to
parole first offenders. And in the HuS-
sey case there was nothing to show
that the liquor in his possession was
for other than personal use. Inas-
much as Hussey has paid more than
the average fine it is only even hand
ed justice to accord to him the usual
clemency for first offenders"
Petitions asking for a parole for
Hussey were signed by large numbers
Of Wichita citizens. Among the sign
ers were a large number of members
of the Rotary club. the Chamber of
Commerce, four ministers. a number
of bankers and many prominent bus
mess men. Bishop Hennessey also
signed the application for a parole.
Last week Myra McHenry of Wich-
ita came to Topeka to protest against
the granting of a parole. She filed
number of petitions against release

Hundred Topekans Pursue Ne
gro FOrger Thru Streets.
Slippery Sidewalks Disastrous
and Wanted Man Gets Away.

Over the slippery sidewalks Of Kan
sas avenue and up the alleys, 100 To-
pekans at noon today chased an al
legged negro check forger WHO at
tempted to cash a check~ats the Barln-
ers' National bank, Seventh street and
Kansas avenue.
When the fleeing negro neared
Eighth and Madison streets, his pur-
suers. excepting one, had either, taken
a sudden bump on the slippery pave
ment or had abandoned the chase. w.
D. VanNest, a clerk in the bank, the
only remaining member of the posse,
ran into house to borrow a revolver.
When he stepped outside the house,
revolver in hand, the negro was gone.
The negro called at the bank at
noon with a check for $12!50 to
which the name of B. Bigbee, negro
janitor at the Smith building, Ninth
and Kansas avenue, was signed. Ac-
cording to clerks in the bank bad
check for $5 had been cashed on Big
bee few days ago.
G. w. Shimeall. assistant cashier.
walked to the rear of the bank to con-
suit with clerk regarding the sigma
ture. The negro watched them a
moment, turned and fled out onto Kan
san avenue.
Clerks Started Chase.
VAN west ana Il. =. caldwell clerks,
rushed out after the negro shouting,
stop thief" Business men and clerks
on their way to lunch started in pur-
suit of the negro who fled rapidly
over the treacherous sidewalk to Sixth
street, turned east on Sixth street un-
til he reached the alley between Kan
sas avenue and Quincy street where
he turned and fled south.
By that time fully a hundred were
in pursuit. One by one they gave up
the chase. either because of bad fails
or for fear of getting bad falls.
At Seventh street the negro turned
east and cut diagonally across in front
of the city auditorium. A man stood
by the alley near the Quincy street
side of the auditorium.
"Stop that fellow" shouted Var
Nest.
This fellow?" said the man as he
pointed to the negro fleeing toward
him.
The negro lodged the man at the
/ alley and fled up the alley to Madison
/ street, where he turned north and
! where Van Nest stopped at a house to
borrow revolver
