Thoro aro Just 20 days loft In tho

Doubtless you Intondod to buy thorn
long ago; but January slipped by,
February como, March passed tho
summer Is gone, and Just a few dayB
left for Klamath county to make
good her 1910 quota.
Whilo tho spur of actual war ac
tivities Is no longer felt, we mast
still support our government; A
moment's thought will convince you
that tho need for money to run the
government and pay war debtee ii
Just an pressing" now aa when, ovr

Tho war aariage certificate la one
form ot a government bond and
there Is no better. It paya aa good

you ask? That this feature U s.
popular one Is evidenced by the rec
ords of tbu Klamath Falls poatofflce.
which has already cashed more than
$60,000 of these certificates tor the
holders In the past year.
It Ig your privilege to cosh thm,
but it Is also your duty to continue
buying them from time 'to time.
Thoro aro numerous citizens in our
county who can buy the limit ot
$1000 (face valuo); many others
who can buy from $100 to $500, and
all tho rest should buy a few stamps
at least.
If our citizens would invest an
amount equal to buying one stamp
for each child In the county we would
be over tho top. What better
Christinas gift can you make to your
child or yourself than a war sav
lugs stamp?
Tho Elk lodgo has generously of-1
ferod to conduct the campaign, but
no patriotic citlzon expects them to
sell tho full quota to their own
membors alono. Do your duty today.
Go to your bank or the poatofflce
and buy war savings stumps.

Mr. Robert. S. Fry,
Deaf Sfrr-
I havo seen tho items in
the paper about, how the Boy
Scouts, are getting-along in Klamath
Falls, ana would like to see u yon
will help mo- to get them started
here in our-community.
Could you have timer to bo Scout
master out here too-, if the National
hoadquarters would give permissien:
or would you try to get some other
man interested, so that he would?
I have been trying: to get the Boy
Scouts started here ever since I
was 12 years old, and I am now 13.
I am now going to tell yon briofly
about1, ray unsuccessful attempts to
biujl tau uoy ocuuis uut uuro.
The ..first pamphlets that. I got
from 'the National Headquarters
came November 20, 1918. A little
later I gpt another boy- interested
and then another, hut by- that time
we bega n to try to get a Scout
master. I wont and asked one man if he
woujd be Scoutmaster, but he said
that '.he had no time to spare. But
one night I had happy news. It waa
that the principal of a school farther
up the Valley had already- started
tho Boy Scouts and I went and join
ed and went to tho meetings. But
the school term -ended and ho had to
go away and all hope was gone be
cause some ,of the boys could no
a! desk through a large part of the ty layited to attend the meettn
day. especially feel tho need of es- net Wednesday.
