i PAGE FOUR GENEROUS BIVING DURING HOLIDAYS War Savings Christmas Is Plan to Make Coming Yuletide a Memorahle One. A large number of employers throughout' Minnesota and many in- dividuals who are not employers are engsged in a common effort to make Christmas, 1918, memorable as & War Savinge Christmas. A leading employer expressed his thought on the subject as follows: “Fighting has ceased, but we shall mot be through with the war until peace s permanently established, our army is brought back and demobilized, all war bills have been paid and nor- mal industrial conditions have been re-established. Therefore it is just as fmperative that we sacrifice and save today as when hostilities were in progress. “Nevertheless there is abundant eause for national and- individual re- joicing. This feeling of thankfulness and joy should be expressed fn gen- eérous giving during thé holiday sea- son. We are not, however, far enough removed from the seriousness and the sacrifices of the great world war to be frivolous in our thauks or the material expression of them. For this reason the {dea.of making the coming Yule Tide:a time. for giving Government se- curities appeals strongly -to me :nd should appeal to people of all classes.” A 8tamp Christmas Campalign. The Minnesota State War Savings Committee appreciate the loglo of this feeling and have inaugurated a War Savings Stamp Christmas campaign. Assistant Director John Meyering is in charge and by the use of glft cer- tificates is attempting to make the giv- ing: of War- Stamps easier for those who-destire to do so and at the same time he believes the certificates will convey more clearly than the stamps themselver the real holiday spirit be- hind the gift. Two forms of certificates have been prepared and distributed to the county organizations and through them to em- ployers and others who, desire them. The first of these is intended for use in sending War Savings Stamps to sol- diers. The second is intended for the use of employers or individuals in giv- ing to employees, friends and relatives. These certificates are furnished free of charge to anyone desiring to make usgof:thenr and can he pbtained either from : the -county . chairman _for. War Savings or from the ltn[a headquarters in Minneapolis. “Qur efforts to have stamps used as ‘Christmas presents is meeting with a hearty response from people in all parts of Minnesota,” said Mr. Meyer- ing. “We are very much pleased with the way people are taking up the idea one to be given to each employee in the service. 3 “Presents of War Savings Stanos and Certificates are also being gener- ally made to soldiers by relatives and friends and we feel very sure that the boys could not get anything as Christ- mas presents that would give them more pleasure or will be of more real value to them now and later. “To ald the. people of Minnesota in .| carrying out the idea of a War Savings Christmas, we are furnishing free of chavge gift certificates and belleve that they will be freely used. We feel very sure the giving of stamps as Christmas presents will result in much good. Incidently it is a very proper way of increasing our sales of these Government securities. The Govern- ment needs every cent it can get and Minnesota is still considerably behind its allotment. Anyone who has pledged himself to buy a certain amount of stamps before .January, 1919, and has not yet done so, will in this way be able to fulfill his pledge and at the same time make a wise gift selection.” WHERE MINNESOTANS STAND Have Much to Do In War Savings Stamps Campalign. The people of Minnesota have made a very creditable showing in their pur chase of Thrift and War Savings Stamps, but they have much to do be- fore January 1st, according to State Director, D. 8. Culver. “The state mow ranks nineteenth among the states of the union,” says . ' A0 2D A> G- DY Mr. Culver in a statement issued by the Treasury Department “When the people have uved up to. their 1%18 pledges, for. the purchua of uumpa-— as they undoubtedly will live up ‘to them—and have purchased stamps liberally during the holiday campaign, Minnesota should go over the top with flying colors. In order for the state to take its proper place in the financing camphign, however, it will be neces- sary for everyone to do his or her part not onhly in fulfilling the pledge he or she has made, but in assisting the local organization in selling all the stamps as promised and a few more for good measure. “We are working hard on a Fulfill- ment of Pledges Campaign and will try not to overlook reminding everyone of their promise to their Government. Our work will be greatly simplified, however, if each individual will think back to June and recall what amount of stamps he promised to buy. If he has bought them, he should buy a few more. If he has not bought them, he ghould fulfill his pledge at once. “In this greatest hour of the world's history, there is one question that is staping every. one, of you in the tade. It must be anqwered and’ ahswe;ed -ati!mctorlly before you have.a right to take your part in the great and justifiable rejoicing. Have you kept your War Savings Pledge? If not, you have failed to aid in wimning the vic- tory and the only way in which you can gain a share in it and all that it means to present and future human- To HOLIDAY GREETINGS of.

Any War Stamp may be the foundation of financial independence; any employer who gives stamps for Christmas will encourage thrift and make better citi- sens. “A number of large concerns over the country have plannaed to give their employees their yearly bonuses in the form of War Savings Certificates. Fine! “Many other firms have decided to give their employees War Savings Stamps instead of money or merchan- dise as formerly. Couldn't do better! “Other corporations have voted to give War Savings Certificates to each of their employees now serving with the colora. Splendid! They have earned this regard and when they be- come civilians again & ‘nest egg’ will help. “The RBigin Natifonal Watch Com- pany haw pnrcligsed two hundred and m 9100 War Saviags Certificates, AT oF - $ i Hwidec Lletios Government %%fl}tfl(y/flfl 2 Thrsatoen tiendiod exghitarn PP TEDTY-SB BB TS ity, is by paying that pledge at once. It you made a pledge to your banker, your landlord, your tradesmen, would it occur to you that you would con- tinue to be an honorable cittzen if you abrogated that pledge? Then, above all pledges the one made to your govern- ment—YOUR government—is sacred. Face the issue and see if there is any possible reason for.not keeping 'it. Then, when you have fully discovered that your honor demands that you keep your word, celebrate the holidays by fulfilling your obligation. Then cele- brate Victory by buying a bit more.” THE S8TATE’S RECORD. Minnesota’s ‘Thrift and War Savings allotment was $47,000,000. Up to the present time there has been purchased by the people of Min- nesota in stamps approximately $30, 000,000. The records show that there are in this state unfulfilied pledges to buy stamps amounting to approximately $15,000,000. Every individual who has made a War Savings Pledge is urged to give immediate attention to the redemption of his or her pledge, thereby assisting the institution that is held responsible $Ior the collection of the pledge, aand also assisting the local committes in comapleting their work incident to the 1818 campaign. | i | | | | THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER T VI C— WY A SEEKING SECRETS OF ARCT|C nnrlnn Feats Thnt Have Been Under taken by Both Roald Amundsen and Storker Storkerson. Two Arctic explorers, Roald Amund- sen, noted Norweglan, drifting in his icelocked hoat eastward from the At- lantlc, and Storker Storkerson, lleu- tenant of Vilhjalmur Stefansson, Ca- nadian explorer, floating westward from the Pacific on an ice pack, are both believed approaching the new Si- | berian islands, which jut out of the Arctic ocean off the mouth of the Lena river in Siberia. Authoritles credited with knowing the Arctic cur- rents believe the two will reach the is- lands early next year, the Washington Evening Sar says. No other explorers are now in the Arctic, and it is thought very likely that neither Amundsen nor Storkerson knows the other has the same goal in mind. They probably will not meet, for Storkerson is expected to arrive ahead of Amundsen and probably will land far west of Amundsen’s course. Amundsen, south pole and navigator of the diffi- cult. Northwest passage, is on the first lap of a journey to the north pole. He expects to make the last lap by air- plane. ‘Storkerson is bound backin the general direction of civilization after spending several years in the Arctic. Both are seeking new lands and study- ing the currents and life of the north- ern ocean. When Amundsen reaches the Siberi- an islands the current, it is believed; will turn and carry him north. He is expected to remaln with the drift until it lands him on the immovable ice far up toward the pole. There, according to his plans, he will establish a base and attempt to fly the rest of the dis tance to the top of the globe. ENROLLED UNDER RED CROSS Greek Girls, Trained Here as Nurses, Will Do Work of Meroy in Their Own Country. Greek girls in the uniforms of American Red Cross nurses are now serving in the hospitals of Greece. These girls are part of a number from New' England who,: anxlons to-help their- fellow countrymen;: ‘decided: to become nursing aids, says-the public information’ bureau, Washington. They enrolled in training courses in the Massachusetts General hospital [ and other Boston hospitals, where they soon became proficlent in their work. Recently four of them, who had practically completed their courses, declded that they would like to go back to Greece with the Amerl- can mission which was just then about to leave. “Through the Greek legation they applied for:permission to go with this mission as members of the Amer- ican Red Cross. “* “Now they.gre not only serving their own people, but ‘are also creating a feeling in Greece which cements the long friendship of the Greeks with America. Although no American troops have been landed on Greek soil, the people are -nevertheless pleased with the sight of -an Amerl- can uniform, no matter what branch of. the service it represents, ¢ Anéthertgroup-.of Greek: xirla in; at:Sim- .

Blind Potters, A The new “lighthouse” at Sayres, where the famous potteries of the French government are situated, Is ex- pected to prove one of the most useful methods of re-educating the blinded soldiers. Making pottery is one of the occupations In. -which the blind may become adept, and, although the Sevres lighthouse has been in existence only a short while, elght blinded men have already been graduated from the mod- .| eling clags into the government shops. The Frepch government has appor- tioned some land to the committee on the grounds of the Sevres potteries, on which it is about to bulld a training school for blind potters, who will be graduated from there to other fac tories. “I'd Hate to S8ee You Fight” Sergeant R. F. Eddy, Sixteenth en- gineers, sald in a letter received by his father, Frank M. Eddy, that a foot- ball game between the engineers and the medical corps, recently pleyed in France, was one of the wickedest he had ever witnessed. Both sides were out for blood, and the fact that no one was injured he attributed to therhard- ened condition of the players, sea- soned by many months of severe train- ing. About five thousand French soldiers witnessed the game, and afterward one Pollu sald to Sergeant Eddy: “If that is what you Yankees call play, T'd hate to see you fight."—St. Paul Ploneer Press. Made Truck Driver Smhe. A Yankee truck driver's’ right for ward wheel had just sunk with an air of finality into a half-filled shell hole on the road near Avocourt, and he was throwing over & terrific barrage of pro- fanity when he suddenly stopped short and his jaw dropped. Then it closed In a grin as broad as the Sacramento, from whose distant shore he had gone forth to war. He was contemplating the approach along the roadside of four stalwart and im- posing officers of the famous Prusslan guard. On their shoulders, ae they marched along in the drizzling rain, was a stretcher, and on the stretcher lay & wounded doughboy smoking & clgarette.—8tars and Stripes. the discoverer. of the’| ~Phese -girls |- '4 IRAGTIME CURES ONE SICK BLACK WARRIOR (By United Press.) Paris, Nov. 28. (By Mall.)—"Jim"” was a big black patient in the Red Cross hospital at St. Denis. He was a “mighty sick nigger,” as he said, his illness being -a combination of ma- chine-gun wound in the leg and shell shock. ke couldn’'t even turn over on his cot, much less walk. But that was before he heard Kurope'’s orchestra. Europe and his famous- musicians were in Paris on their way from one assignment to an- other, for they are more in demand at camps in France than ever. they were in New York cabarets. . The American Red Cross got permission for them to play at its St. Denis hos- pital. And you should have heard the hoys Ccheer when syncopated strains from Europe’'s instruments swelled through the wards! As for “Jim” he not only could move; he could hop, and hop he did, from his cot:to a gtation so close to the big bass drum that the dusky drummer had to cut out some of his customary gyrations. 3 After it was all over the Red Cross hospital representatives from Chatta- nooga, Tenn., who had arranged the concert, -saw “Jim"” sitting on the edge of his cot, an ebony picture of content and comfort. #‘Jim," you rascal,” “she said, “I thought you were 8o sick.” *“Yes'm,” | = replied “Jim,” “I certainly was & ik | o —— man, and my leg troubled me mighty much, but nothing ain’t bothered me since I heard that band, no ma'm.” Next to ice cream nothing makes s0-big a hit with the boys in the hos- pital as do the band concerts that are a regular feature of the Red Cross program in France to make a stay in a hospital as happy as may be for Yank wounded.
