' THE THIRD LIBERTY LOAN The campaign for the sale of the third Liberty loan bonds opens tomorrow and Bingham people are getting ready to absorb , their quota. A number of people here have been at work for some time planning for the event and there is every reason to believe that their efforts will be attended with success. In order to prosecute the war the government must have money, and he who buys a bond is contributing that much to the winning of the war. And this is not a gift, but an investment. It is a gilt-edg- ed investment and one which will pay good dividends. Government bonds have always been considered the safest invest- - ments. Careful business men have found in government bonds an absolute security and for a long time have invested their money in such when they wished to feel absolutely safe and have no care or anxiety over their investment. This wa3 done when the bonds drew a very small per cent of interest. ." This is a time when most everyone is making good money and there is no better saving plan than buying Liberty bonds. The money that is spent uselessly can be turned to a good purpose and the saving will come in mighty handy some time. Should there be a period of hard times after the war a block of Liberty bonds will be a fine thing to fall back on. Everyone in this camp will have an opportunity to make an investment. The bonds can be had on easy terms and small investors will in no wise feel the pinch, but they should be glad to deny' themselves a few luxuries and give their support to the soldiers at the front. The people at home must help wnh the war and now is the time when they can show their hand. In the cam-paign which opens tomorrow actions will speak better than words. 'The man who wants to aid the government and the boys on the firing line will go his full length in buying bonds. Bingham made a splendid record in the two previous cam-paigns and she should do equally well in this one. Money is the power behind the throne, and it will win the war.

Among those most In demand is the now famous "toasted" cigarette LUCKY STRIKE. Thousands of thi3 favorite brand have been shipped to France. Th'.:e is something home-- ! like and friendly to the boys in the ' sight of the familiar green packages j with the red circle. This homelike, anpetizing quality of the LUCKY STRIKE cigarette is largely due to the inct that the Durley ; lobacco usi d in making it has been j Halted. "It's toasted" was the "s!o-- pan" that mnde a great success of LUCKY STRIKE in less than a year, i Now the American Tobacco Co. is j makir.pr 15 million LUCKY STRIKE Cigarettes a day. A good part of this immense pro- - duction is making; its way across tliii Water to cheer our lxv h n Hi THE RETIRING CHIEF OF POLICE S. S. Jones, whose resignation as chief of police was accepted by the town board last week, has been at the head of the police department of Bingham for over four years. As an officer he was known as a man with plenty of courage, and at the same time he was always on the square, so the people of the camp who have known him say. There was no element of graft about him is the the general comment No "shake down" business with him. What he did was open and in the broad light, and if he was com-mended or criticised it made little difference. Owing to the friction between the county and the town in administrative matters he held a position that was difficult to fill. Since his retirement everyone we have heard speak of him has had something good to say about Si Jones. ill New regulations from the ofliee of the provost marshal general In regard to compensation of registration boards rend In part as follows.: "The rate of compensation for mem- - berg of local boards op to and Includ-ing the completion of the final classi-fication of the registrants within the respective jurisdiction of said board shall be on the basis of 30 cents, as ag-gregate compensation to the member-ship of the local board, for each regis-trant to whom a questionnaire shall he mailed and who shall have finally classified In accordance with the provi-sions of these regulations. "Money due for said work shall be paid In proportionate amounts to each member of a local boaid claiming com-pensation for his services, unless It shall be requested by the unanimous vote of the local board that the moneys due shall be paid In some other pro-portion. In such case no one member shall receive more than 15 cents of the allowance of 30 cents for each classification and no two members shall receive more than 25 cents for each classification to be distributed between them." Director General McAdoo and th food administration have arranged to In the distribution of cars for the food and feed trades. The grain and grain products and feed shippers are to first apply for cars In the usual way through railroad agents ; In case of not bejng furnished within a reasonable time they may then apply to the cone representatives of the food administration grain di-vision at the various terminals, stat-ing the cars required, point at whlcb It la desired cars should be sent, char-acter of tht product to be loaded, the destination of shipment, and the con-signee. The shippers of sugar, beans, rice, vegetables, live stock, meat, and per-ishables generally, shfiuld first apply for cars In the usual way through rail-road agents; In case not being fur-nished within reasonable time they may apply directly to the food admin-istration In Washington, stating the cars required, the point to be sent, th character of the commodity to be load-ed, the consignee, and destination. Tcrsons In military service are per-mitted, under certain restrictions, to write for publication In newspnpers and magazines. They may not re-ceive payment for material furnished by them.

None of those rules apply to troops In Trance, where the communing gen-eral of the expeditionary forces will establish such regulations as are neo aary.

It looks to some of them as though - there was a fly in the ointment. There was an advance all right, but simultaneously with the advance there' was a classification, " - and that classification had the effect of offsetting the advance so far as many of the pedagogues were concerned. As a result there ' was some talk that the teachers might go on a strike, but it now seems that they have decided to accept the new regulation in good faith. It does seem that the teachers ought to receive more pay. There was a time when the teacher's pay was much more than that of the day laborer and the wage earner, but such is no longer the case. The uneducated man can now put in his eight hours a day, have no responsibility and nothing to worry about, and draw more pay than the preceptor with a university degree. Still there seems to be no scarcity of teachers. So the price in teaching as in other matters is regulated to some extent by supply and demand. head. "It came!" he shouted, "it came." "It" was a long rather, clumsy, tear-staine- d document, rather too sacred to reproduce here.

The follow-ing story is typical of dozens of cases in which a Red Cross man has brought mattered families together l'atrlck .Sullivan m the strong man of Camp liix. Six feet two in his, stockings, with ems like a gorilla, It i.H an unfortinate recruit who sot into the grip of his iron paws. KVvv did. The second day after coming to camp, Pat announced ho was cham-pion wrestler, boxer, and strone ma-- i extraordinary of the camp. And to date there is no one who lias not taken his word for It. He had a big, rental Irish face, loo, that should have been laughing at the whole world. Instead of that, ho would loaf around his berracks by himri'lf. cr il;e lonely little strolls up and down the company streets. He was lonely, no question about that, and several recruits, who took a chance on the natural sociability in his face, tried to j make advances, lie wheeled tound on 'them like a shot, and they remeni-- j j bored pressing business over the other! ?ido of camp. Finally the lied Cross mar. noticed him, and at'tr much diplomacy got at the heart of his trouble. Pat had no family except an older sister, with whom he had had a fight way back in 19il, They had never spoken since. In camp lie began to think about him-M'l-and the idea of going off to France with one one to nay good bye, Hnd no one to write letters, or give a damn if he got shot, was getting on his nerves. He thought about his sis-ter, and tlp more he thought the nioie ho realized what a dam fine woman nhe was. and what a fool he'd boon. 'He'd about sell his soul to get in touch with her again, but he had no idea where she lived. He knew she was married, but did not know to whom, but that was all be could tell. Ely communicating with the lied Cross chapter In Sullivan's home town, the home service niiin finally got on her trail. Having located her. lie wrote the prettiest letter he knew how.

The civil service commission has 1 announced a competitive examination to be held on March 16 for the pur-pose of filling vacancies In the posi-tion of forest clerk with entrance sal-aries from $1100 to 1200 per annum. Never before have women been ad-mitted to this examination; but on ac-count of the shortage of men because of the draft, it has become imperative that female eligibles be made avail-able for that position. Applicants will be examined in stenography, type-writing, arithmetic, bookkeeping, etc. In ndd:tion to the examination on March lfi. an examination will be given every fourth Saturday until con-ditions warrant a change in this ar-rangement.

Another is that he let folks know what he is handling or has to sell. The biggest medium on earth for accomplishing this and keeping a business constantly before the public is the local newspaper. There are no large business establishments anywhere in the United States that cannot attribute a goodly portion of their suc-- , ' cess to the newspapers and unlimited advertising. Business houses and towns must have advertising and publicity if they are to keep pace with neighboring establishments and cities. Idle water grows stagnant. You must stir it to keep it fresh and wholesome, and it is the same way without business during this busy age. A man may seemingly be doing a good business without advertising, but a close study of his business would develop that the great per cent of his customers are old ones wtio nave been with him forbears, and that these are gradually dying out and in a few years he will be without his present trade. Young bloods do not care to waste time rushing in to ask him ' ' if he has this or that article. They go to the house that advertises, knowing from experience that the people running it are progres-sive and will supply them with the goods desired and that the quality is unquestioned. The average business man who does not advertise sees only the money that the advertising will cost and fails :o note the returns it would give in increased business. Advertising reaches all nooks and corners and meets and converses with strangers as well as your friends. It is constantly introducing your business to new customers. They read what you say and not what you have to offer, and come forward to make their purchase- - accordingly. When you neglect the advertising end of your business you are overlooking one of the vital elements pointing towards suc-cess. Get the advertising habit. It pays. Wanted Dutter Treated.

That one act should bar him .from receiv-ing a vote of confidence by the loyal people of Wisconsin. If the editor of the Standard had a vote in Wisconsin, that vote would be cast, first, against Berger, the traitor, and second against Lenroot, the half-heart- ed American. Inroot is a Republican, but he is not the best type of a Republican. If the editor 'of the Standard had a vote in Missouri, in Nebraska, in Oklahoma or Oregon, there is at least one very promi-nent Democrat in each of these states who would be voted against. ' We would not vote for Stone of Missouri, if his opponent were Senator Weeks, and that is about the limit of odious comparison. The time has arrived when Americans must begin to draw a line in polities which knows no party, but goes to the question of loyalty and patriotism. Wherever a weak-knee- d American politic-ian is found courting the favorable opinion of the ewemy forces in this country, he should be smothered with American votes. We want no half-wa- y measures or half-wa- y men. Ogden Standard. |
