BOMB MYSTERY At OAKLAND
EXPLOSION KILLS WIFE OF
CALIFORNIA BANKER.
Governor Announces He Will Offer
Reward Of $1,000 for Arrest Of s
Perpetrators.

Oakland, CAL, March 20-The kill
ing Of Mrs. George Greenwood, wife of
an Oakland banker, by an explosion 1T
the Greenwood home is almost as
much = mystery as when Mr.. Green
wood, aroused by the explosion, looked
from an upstairs window to see his
wife's body in the garden below.
The police believe they have two
slender clues. These clues consist of
six small pieces of galvanized iron
wire removed from the body by sur
geons along with q bit Of lead, frag-
ments Of brick, and scraps OF clothing,
and the fact that in January, 1918, q
letter received by Mr.. Greenwood de-
manded delivery of $4,000 at certain
spot under penalty of having his home
destroyed by an explosion.
The letter was signed &C. c. of c."
which initials also were appended to a
threatening letter received by Cover
nor William D. Stephens before the
executive mansion at Sacramento was
dynamited year ago. This led the DO.
lice TO believe that the same persons
were responsible for. both explosions.
Nothing had been developed today to
show whether the explosive was hurled
at Mrs. Greenwood, whether she picked
1t up and it exploded in her hands, or
whether she caused the defamation by
stumbling over it.
Governor Offers Reward.
Sacramento, CAL, March 2O.-Gov.
ernor William D. Stephens announces
he will offer reward of $1,000 for tho
arrest and conviction of person or Per-
sons responsible for a: bomb explosion

Greenwood was killed.

GERMAN BORN PATRIOT
Marietta Man Largest Holder Of
U. S. Securities in His County.
Declares Country Can Have Whatever
He Has Whenever It De- :
.@ sireo II. 90

II William Hohenzollern depended
On Americans Of German birth to do
his work in this country he would
never have picked August Heckert Of
Marietta. MINI.
Although born in Germany, Mr..
Heckert stands today as the prize
practical patriot of Lac Out ,Parle
county with $4,000 to his credit In
Liberty Bonds, War Savings Stamps
| and Certificates of Indebtedness. In
addition to the cash investments, he
has loaned his 24ryear.old son to
Uncle Sam and the youth is serving
! his country on the dreadnaught Kear-
; sarge. Mr.. and Mrs. Heckert have also
toiled increasingly for the various war
activities in their home town and
county. -. T..
Chairman J.. H. Hayden of Madison
! is authority for the statement that
the Heckerts are the largest holders
of government securities in Lac Qui
Parle county. H.
And Mr.. Heckert has not been silent
concerning the prosecution of the war,
He has won himself host of enemies
among old neighbors for the things
he has told them about their attitude
toward the land, Of their adoption.
The elimination cana recently
when Ferdinand Kahlbrenner, also OF
! Marietta, brought suit for $4,000
against the prize patriot of the
! county. The suit followed signed
article in = Marietta paper, in which
Mr.. Heckert aired his views regarding
the refusal of many of his townsmen
to buy Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Stamps. The jury did not deliberate
long over the evidence and returned q
| verdict for Mr.. Heckert.
''The land of my adoption is the
only land that recognize" Mr.. Heck
! ert said in telling his experiences to
A. r. Rogers, Chairman of the Ninth
District War Loan Organization. "This
government has made it possible fol-
me to succeed dn business and what
ever have, the United States can
have whenever it desires it. The jury
! that gave me the verdict apparently
! thought that a man who bought five
or six times as many Liberty Bonds as
his allotment called for, could not be
| very disloyal." '
'The case of Mr.. Heckert," said
, Chairman Rogers, lis proof that the
majority of American citizens of Ger
!, man birth are loyal to- their adopted
country" -
Chairman Hayden of Madison de-
clared that the story of Mr.. Heckert
should have the greatest circulation in
! the coming Victory Loan campaign.
"The story should bring shame to
many persons who have been evading
; their full duty to their country" Mr..
Hayden said. -

Make JOINT SWEAR-OFF w.
OF FOOLISH SPENDING
Some Pieces Of Good Advice az Pos.
sible keynotes for Coming
Thrift Campaigns. y

Here are some Of the pieces of good
advice L. B. Franklin, National d.
rector of the War Loan Organization.
has given to War. Savings Stamp
workers as possible keynotes for thrift
campaigns:
We do not want to make q ma
ton of tightwads but we do want y
to eliminate the darn fool waste. :.
Spend wisely and save your
money 80 that you can go into.
business for yourself.
Spend less and pay of the mort
gage or send your boy to college.
Put little Joy into saving.
A French housewife can feed q
family on what an American
family wastes.
"When a man 'swears OF smoking
or ice cream or something like that
he is more apt to make good in his
resolution if he has a fellow resolver,
someone else who is undergoing the
same denial with tho same purpose in
mind" Mr.. Franklin said. 1T is a
Joint 'swearoff.' This is the thing
we want the American people to do,
make a joint swearoff Of foolish spend.
ing. And of course we want them to
invest the saving in War Savings
Stamps. 49,
1--WE are going to get the Joint
swearoff' idea through the War Saw
ings societies. Each member Of z So
cietys~ will be a War Savings Stamp
buyer and each will want to hold up
his end, especially when he knows
that every other member is doing his
SHARE"
This mild compulsion by public
opinion as 1t exists in the society will
this year take the place Of the quota
and allotment system of selling War
Savings Stamps which was used last
year. The w. s. 8. buyer 10 to be
made to want to save as much as he
can, rather than to feel that he must
save such and such an amount. Mr..
Franklin said the quota system Of
War Savings Stamp sales was not in
use this year.
The national director made it clear
that tho appeal is still to. patriotism
as well as to thrift and self interest
but with the patriotic appeal changed
from that Of a battle crisis to that Of
the sturdier and less spectacular 10y.
atty Of the man who is willing to help
his country under any and all circum-
stances The War Savings Stamps,
he said, are to be continued on sale
in all parts of the country. after the
Fifth Liberty Loan s,history and prob
ably the stamp sales viii be made psgs
