A special dispatch to the Milwaukee
Evening Wisconsin say>:

War Savings Week
A War Savings week, is to be inaug
urated throughout the state, and dur
ing which every man, woman and
el ll ld resident will be given an op
portunity to purchase at least one war
stamp or thrift stsmp.in the next move
on the war campaign calender for this
slate
It is planned to bring into work dur
ing war savings week the splendidly or
ganized field forces of the various war
campaigns which have been conducted
during the past several months, and
while the date for the inauguaation of
the drive to be conducted in c mnection
with the has not yet been
definitely determ and; it will doubtless be
held dining the first week in Febru
ary, so that it may commence on the
Xa i.trial Thrift Dry, set for Sunday,
February 3d, on which day Thrift ser
mms will be preached in all the
churches of the state.
Not only does the individual thus as
sist the government in carrying on the
war, but each individual directly helps
himself; for every penny invested in a
war savings stamp is backed by the j
very best security in the world, and
w II be returned to the investor on
January 1, 1923, with a splendid inter
est rate added.
The Storm
According to the Shawano Advocate
the mail* w re tied up worse during
this last storm than they have been for
years. The storm general all over
the state, and Mi'waukee suffered as
mu -h as the smaller places. There
were no trains out of Milwaukee from
Saturday morning until Monday morn
ing, and no trams arrived from Chica
cago. The Chicago papers Saturday did
n>t reach here un*il Tuesday. One ap
preciates the daily paper when it is not
received md then knows how valuable
!it is. We believe that more snow fell
in the southern part of the state than
in the northern. Freight and express
j was tied up for two or three days and
' it will be a week before the railroads
J get caught up with the large amount of
freight which could not be shipped.

loan will be a large one.

As he ever did—and more.
