THRIVE BY THRIFT
Here are seven excellent Teasona
why every American should -get into
the war savings campaign:
1. Save for your country's sake,
because it is now spending millions
a. day, and must find most of the
money out of savings.
2. Save for your own sake, lo-
calise work and wages are plentiful
and, whiie prices are high now, a dol-
lar will buy more nfter the war.
5. Save because, when you spend,
you make other people wo : for you,
and the work of everyone is needed
now to win the war.
4. Save because, by saving, you
make things cheaper for everyone, es-
pecially for those who are poorer than
you.
6. Save because, by going without
you relieve the strain on ships, docks,
and railways, and make transport
cheaper and quicker.
6. Save because, by saving, you
•et an example that makes it easier
for the next man to save. A saving
Hation is an earning nation.
7. Save because every time you
save you help twice, first when you
don't spend, and again when you lend
to the Nation.
Buy a War Savings Stamp NOW.
The price is $4.13 in February. $4.14
in March and one cent more each
month thereafter. The United States
government will pay you $5.00 for
that Btamp January 1, 1923.
Grocers have ceased advertising
flour and sugar; in many places they

money may be in the branch trea-
sury, more will be needed. Dont
be satisfied—dont let your efforts
ceas—think and act.
There is no let-up to the need
for money for the Red Cross.
Each Red Cross branch should
have a financial committee and
every proper expedient for raisi-
ng money should be utilized.
It is reported that at school dis-
trict No. Ill, near the Sac and
Fox Agency, the district council
of defense has adopted the plan of
taking volunlarry contibutions at
each meeting, and that an acre of
ground has been set aside for the
raising of cotton to be sold for the
Red Cross, the work to be done
by volunteers.
These suggestions should be ad-
opted everywhere. If you will
cut slots in the tops of glass fruit
jars, past red crosses on the sides
of the jars and place the jars in
hotels, stores, depots and at other
places where people congregate,
you will find yourselves well re-
paid for the effort.
At Chandler a subscription list
has been signed by business men
and others, pledging definite mo-
nthly contribution. This should
be done at each branch and should1
include farmers in the respectiv $
communities.
If you have not been persuader"
heretofore of the need for greater
effort, the horrible battle now be-
ing fouget in France should con-
vince you. No matter how much
