Governor Indorses
Thrift Stamp Sale
In Proclamation He Calls Allen
lion lo importance oj Invest
ing in These Securities
The following proclamation was is
sued yesurdiiy by Governor Stuart in
behalf of the war savings stamps and
i\ar thrift stamps campaign:
To tho l'eoplc of Virginia:
Seldom indeed tu the opportunity af
J fcrdvd to make a money contribution
, to a good cause and to' reap at the
| same time a genuine linaneial benefit,
j Such an opportunity is offered by the
government in the purchase of war
savings stamps and war thrift stamps.
The proceeds go to meet the expenses
of the war in which wc are engaged,
and i| is to be remembered that the
| tiiore money and force and co-operation
i wo put into the war the sooner it will
be over. The greater the amuu'it real
ii.ea by the government by this plan
the less needs to be raised by taxation.
The war savings certiIleate plan pre
sents a lino opportunity for profitable
investment, since purchases made un
der terms well within tlio reach of all
give a return of 4 p< r cent compound
interest. War savings stamps give the
! cilia".'1!! a larger stake in the govern
ment which belongs to him; they help
to win the great struggle for human
tights, and they encourage a habit of
thrift which contributes in a very
Siii-jr?- degree to human happiness and
, contentment. Virginia has done her
j lull share in nil war activities, and she
n.ust not now fall behind, and thus
lowrr lier record of honor in thu Sis
terhood nf Stat? s.
(Signed) 11. C. STUART.

At a meeting of tho Advertisers*.
| Club yefctetdny afternoon in the Hus

? i.-tant il: -t ? id attorn-v for the Kast

: patriotic s-ddi*' s ..ii the duties of the]
; American citizen in this war. stress-|
i ing particularly at :1ns time tie tie
? ccsj i:y <?! every ? itizen making imme-;
diate and ac-nrate returns on tli ir
incomes for the nast year.
Tho meeting ??f the club was called
? for i lie purpose 01 considering a report
of a oommitti i' appointed to investl-j
gate thi matter of tho in.'Oimi tax
j and Inform the clu'a on the law iel
1 alive to tin* subject and propose plans .
for the club to :?ursu? in aiding the
ijovciiininnt otlicials in bringing the
I lav before tli? ? people.
Mr. Smith declared that much ig- .
nor;*.nee on tin income tax is displayed
by many people because they are not
able to set in touch with lite law and
because they a re not interested in the i
? law. lie told the advertisers that the
law applies to single men having in
: come; of SI,000 ami to married men
having incomes of JC.UtiO.
"As advertising men, you should ad
vertise your loyilty and patriotism
and bring befcre tin- p-ople of the city
'lie nevs ity nf making speedy re-1
i ii i lis on their incomes for the past'
year." he told the eiub.
"The lias-tern District of Virginia
lias many government activities, such'
as the various cantonments and train
ing camps for the soldiers, the ship-:
yards at Portsmouth and Newport ,
i News and various other governmental |
activities, but these activities carry |
| responsibility with them."
Continuing, the speaker said that tho ,
lov ?l Am?-rie.-?n citizen is the best se- |
i ret-service airent th<* government has,;
an<l that every citizen can aid the |
government by keeping his eyes open
and reporting alien enemy activities to j
t ne department. "Patriotism of the
'??dividual fit iy. n in tiiis section of the
'ate has prevented tho alien enemy
"otn doing any Injury to the govern
ment. and we can keep these alien
?ieos down if the people continue
!.? do their duty to the government."!
..?id Mr. Smith.
in conclusion, Mr. Smith declared
il i! this war must be won, and tha* '?
< v ry man can do his part toward the
? ? omnliahinent ot that purpose.

Richmond has displayed an admirable |
spirit <>r patriotism with referenc.? itJ
its attitude toward the work that has!
been started here by the commission. !

without coal for two days, and that,
after visiting nine dealers he had been
unable to obtni.. any. Grahai li. Hob
son. of the Administrative lioard, said
jesterday that if his address were tar
nished him or any member of the
j board, coal would bo immediately sent
| him in city carts to supply emeigcncy
needs.
"We have been hauling coal all win
ter for relief of the poor," said Mr.
Ilobson. "in t li i _ emergency we do
not consider that this relief should be
I limited to the indigent. If any per
son in Richmond Is actually suffering
; for want of fuel, we will supply his
need, whether he can pay for it or not.
In a ease like this, it is not so ri.uch a
matter of charity as of preventing
suffering. and while the citv lias no
Krcat amount of fuel on hand, it has
enough for present needs, ai.d we do
not pro, >sc to sit l>.v and see anyone
suitor. Any man who canot buy coal
at the local dealers, and who is actually
nut may notify mo or any member of
the board and we will see that he gets
enough to make a lire with until he
can buy some."

Mr. Ilobson said that the city had
been very successful this winter in Its
distribution of fuel to the poor, prais
ing particularly the co-operation of the,
nurses ot the Health Department who
visit indigent families and certify as to!
their needs lor fuc] and other relief. !
He reiterated, however, that the city!
did not propose to let anyone suffer,
and that until the present emergence
is tided over, and the. dealers are in ;i
position to make deliveries, the city
would attempt to carry any local fam
ily. whether indigent or not.
In many homes there were com
plaints yesterday of frozen gas meters
cutting 01T the supply. I\ R. Rogers.
Of 1412 North Twenty-first Street, a
practical plumber, said that this could
be promptly relieved by pouring a
small amount of boiling water over
the meter, and especially on the bents
of the lead pipe leading into and out
of the meter, as that is where the
freezing usually occurs, moisture from
the gas forming in these bents of pipe
and preventing a steady flt,w of Ka.-.
Another suggestion from a practical
plumber was that the use of a small:
amount of unslacked lime in sinks and
water outlets'would melt all ice and'
open up the drains, care to lie taken
that no wooden work is exposed.
CONDITIONS C'A 1.1, FOR
I'TJIOST CONSERVATION '
While not desiring to alarm the peo
ple ot the city with reference to the
coal situation, the local fuel commis
sion and the State administrator con-'
sidcr ii their duty io inform the peo
ple of Richmond and the State of Vir
ginia that the coal conditions in all
sections of the State havo reached a
point wl.erc. unless care is taken and
the coal used economically, the people
would be confronted with the greatest
eo.tl famine in the history of the State.
Although Virginia has fared unusually
well in comparison with other States
in the country, the conditions in this
State now are of an alarming nature
and call for conservation of coal and
for oconr.. leal use.
There is no anthracite coal in Rich
mond. end those people who have fur
naces that w ill burn no other coal but
anthracite must replace the grates, so
as to be able to use soft coal, although ?
there is not a great amount of t'nat I
coal on hand. The fuel commission I
has been laboring day and night trv- 1
nig to meet the needs of the people
so far as was possible, and have sup- I
plied coal to those people who are in ;
the greatest need of it. An effort has !
been made to relieve suffering by sup- '
pl> lng the homes with sick ones with
coal lirst.
The fuel commission's office is busied !
with answering hundreds of phone '
calls from people who complain that i
they are without coal. Where the eit
uat.on can be remedied at once It Is I
done, but In many cr.ses the people de
mand certain kinds of coal which can
not he supplied because there is none
in the city.

JEFFERSON'S LETTERS
t'oplen of Hitherto I'npublinhetl I'npent
Are Secured by Virginia Stnte
Library.
The Virginia State Library has Just
received a typewritten copy of Thomas i
Jefferson's letter book from July L'7 to j
September 10. ITSj. The original let- I
ter book wan undoubtedly taken by j
some British soldier from Richmond at]
the time of Arnold's raid in 1781. In i !
the course of time it came into the ' .
possession of the family of Mrs. Geral- ?
nine Kobertson-Glasgowr, of London, j j
Eng.. and she recently presented it to i
the British Museum, but before doing1
so sent a typewritten copy to Dr. J. j
Franklin Jameson, editor of the Amer-ji
ican Historical Review, who has had ! j
two copies made of this, presenting one
to the Library of Congress and the
other to the Virginia State Library.
Some of these letters have been
printed by Mr. Worthlngton C. Kord In
his edition of "Jefferson's Writings,"
but others have never been printed, and
for this reason the acquisition of tlieni
by the Virginia State Library is a mat
ter of unusual interest.
