SAVING CANCELLED STAMPS
NOT RED CROSS ACTIVITY
Don’t waste time and energy saving
cancelled postage stamps for the Red
Cross. Somebody, somewhere, has
started one of those pleasant but like
ly-to-be-annoying fictions concerning
the value of postage stamps which
have served their original purpose.
This time the idea spread ahroad is
that the American Red Cross has de
vised a method of extracting the dyes
from the cancelled stamps and putting
the dyes to practical use. There is
nothing; more in the scheme than a fig
ment of someone's imagination; hut
the Post office Department reports that
l several hags of old stamps have ae
l cumulated through the good will of
| persons who have thought they were
| doing something to help win the war.

THIS IS STRANGE
CASPER: Meatless and wheatless
days need mean nothing in anybody’s
bright life in Casper. Anyone can get
all the wheat desired, wheat cakes,
wheat bread, wheat pastry, on wheat
less days, and all the beef or pork
that can he eaten on meatless days.
In that town. Provided:
That he will sign a little card the
restaurant keepers and food dealers
supply. The card says:
"The United States Food Adminis
tration has d reed that Mondays and
Wednesdays he wheatless days—Tues
days meatless, Saturdays porkless.
Every morning meal meatless and ev
ery evening meal wheatless. As I atn
| not a loyal American and patriot, I
| want to be served with whatever Ij
i want on the above days.”
(Nobody has signed the eard yet.)
Severe cold weather is reported at |
points along the trail. Salcha reports
36 below zero and Richardson 25.
Zero weather prevails as far toward
the coast as Beaver Dam. Wortman
reports 10 above and stormy.

READING PRAISES PART OK
AMERICA IN EUROPEAN WAR
NEW YORK, March 19.—Stirring
tributes to the part that the United
States plays in the war were voic
ed here today by Lord Reading, Brit
ish high commissioner and ambassa
dor. Lord Reading’s eulogy was made
at a reception he gave to newspaper
representatives “for the purpose of
getting acquainted.”
“I am very sure,” he said, “that I
need not tell you how beholden we
are to America for the supplies we
are receiving, more particularly of
food, at this moment, and for the last
few months. The value to the allies of
these exports is incalculable. The rep

WAR WILL NOT WAIT
War has a way of driving on without regard to the de
sires or conveniences of the individual.
This is no time for hesitation. If you are going to do
your part to bring victory nearer, you must start today.
Decide now to cut down the unnecessary things and
lend what you save to the Government.
Yoq can do it today by exchanging your savings for
War Savings Stamps that pay interest and gain in value the
longer you hold them.
The time for action is here.
Your Government calls upon you, confident that you
will not fail it in this crucial hour.
A War Savings Stamp is the simplest and best Govern
ment security ever offered—pays you four per cent interest
compounded quarterly.
Buy Thrift and War Savings Stamps at your Post Of
