ASKS AID FOR LEGAL
Governor Blckett has Issued a call
to all the teachers and business men
of the State to assist the Legal Ad
visory Boards in the matter of help
ing registrants fill out their questlon-
aires. This has assumed the propor
tions of a huge task andvtbe lawyers
of the State, who comprise the advi
sory boards, have been working over
time for some days past. They need
help and hence the Governor is ask
lng teachers and business men to aid
them.
It appears that practically none ot
the registrants is attempting to nil
out his own questionaire. Many of
the men could do this themselves and
thus relieve the board of a consldera

who can do so to fill out their own
blanks. ,

"War Savings Stamps mark an
epoch in our national, life. "Secre
tary of the Treasury McAdoo.
Many a successful business man
has said that the saving of his first
dollar was the most important single
act of his life; that It marked the he
ginning of a habit and a course of
conduct to which he attributed his
success.
Something very analogous to this,
it is believed, Is going to be the er
fect on the American Nation of the
War Savings campaign. Net only are
millions of individual citizens going
to begin to save, but this habit or
economy and saving is going to be a
collective movement, a movement not
of individuals alone but of the Na
tion. The habit of saving formed now
has a deeper Incentive than ordinary
We are saving now not alone- for
selfish reasons, we4 are saving now
from patriotism, saving not alone for
ourselves but for our country. The
combination of patriotism and thrirt
Is, Indeed, going to make the War Sav
Ings campaign an epoch in our na
tional life. It is not only going to be
a thing of tremendous benefit to mil
lions of citizens, it is going to be a
thing of tremendous advantage to
the Nation as a whole, and affect our
whole national life. It marks the be
ginning of a new era in American
life, an era of economy, good sense,
and patriotism.
Fraternal Organizations and War
Loans.
Representatives of fraternal Insur
ance organizations and 'societies
from every part of. the United States
at a rneetjng in Washington called by
Secretary of the Treasury McAdoo on
December 13 agreed to form War
Savings associations 'and to conduct
economy and savings campaigns all
over the country and themselves in
vest and urge others to Invest in Gov
ernment War Loans.
A resolution was passed recom
mending .to the respective organiza
tions of , the representatives present
that they ratify and Indorse the meet
ing, in its purpose and co-operate in
the campaigns for War Savings and
Liberty Loans, i , t -
The enlistment of the nnlted and
active support, of fraternal organiza
tions in - the campaign for economy
and saving ii a most hopeful sign.
The fraternal societies of the United
States, wield a tremendous. Influence
and form a body of citizens which is
a. great factor in our national life as
well as in-their respective localities.
The value of their active co-operation
and assistance la the War Sav
