The state-wide, house-to house
thrift campaign has been post
poned from the week o f March
5, to March 19th to 23rd.
This campaign is not to be a
drive for money.
It is to lie a campaign of edu
cation. A campaign to tell every
Oregon householder just what
Thrift Stamps are, what War
Savings Stamps are, where they
can be bought, and why they
should be bought.
Ten thousand volunteer work
ers will strive to plant a thrift
germ in every home in Oregon.
The germ will do the rest.
With the financial difficulties
of the Estacada Boy Scout Corps
a thing of the past, thanks to the
generous response to their Tag
Day sales we would suggest
that the scouts do a little real
scouting and locate the boy or
boys in Estacada, who are now
passing through
a n unmoral
development, resulting in the
scribbling of filthy words and
pictures about town.
Contrary to reports that had
been current in this section, to
the effect that F. B. Guthrie,
former principal of the Estacada
Schools, was one of the survivors
of the recent Tuscania disaster,
Mrs. Guthrie writes from Salem
that he is located in the Y. M. C.
A. work at San Antonio. Texas.
The War Advertising Com
mittee of Oregon has requested
that the following slogans be
given publicity during the month
of March, in the interests of a
“ Silence Campaign Against the
Spreading of Rumor, Conjecture
and Hearsay.”

“ Groceries wfe have, the best to be had,

Our Motto
“The Best is Aione Too Good for You”
One German Army has already
occupied America. The invisible
host of Spies is everywhere.
Swat the fly! Spot the Spy!
Spies feed on little crumbs of
conversation, little glances of ob
servation. Starve them out!
Benedict Arnold was an Am er
ican Officer trusted and loved by
George Washington. Three cow
boys caught the spy whose papers
exposed Arnold.
K e e p your
eyes open.
R e p o r t suspicious
persons who ask curious ques
tions.
It is rumored the Kaiser is
making a special lot of Iron
Crosses for Americans who help
him by careless talk. Have you
qualified yet for your Iron Cross?
Don’ t tell all you know to peo
ple you don’ t.
A word to the Spies is Suf
fic ie n t.
Don’ t tell all you know.
