MEN OFF TO OFFICERS' SCHOOL The first large group of Uncle Sam's new fighting force from the Northwestern university student ar- my training camp is on the initial jump of its trip to Berlin. Forty men left here early this morning and eight last night for officers' training schools. They are all from the collegiate section. Four of the enthusiastic men of last Wednesday night's group were sent to Fort Monroe, Va., for heavy mobile "artillery training at the officers' training school. The other half of the squad left for the officers' training school at Camp Hancock, Ga., and -will be attached to the central machine gun section. At 7:30 o'clock Thursday morning the larger squad gathered at the Davis street station of the Chicago and Northwestern railroad and boarded a train for Camp Grant, Rockford, Tll., where they will be attached to the infantry branch of the O. T. S. The machinery that is ceaselessly turned out finished fighting material soon will produce 100 men from the vocational section of the university. They were sent away last Saturday. These men have practically complet- ed their two months' course in radio and sheet metal work here and will make way for more men. Loans To Farmers The Federal land banks have made loans to 55,325 farmers, aggregating $124,877,000. WINNETKA SUBSCRIBES $100,000 OVER QUOTA (Continued from Page One) then, as soon as the drive was un- derway, a big thermometer, as shown in another column, was put up just west of the Chicago and Northwest- ern railway station and, as the sub- scribers pumped "red blood" into its tube, the daily amount of subscrip- tions were registered, so that all those going to and from . Chicago could see how the loan was getting along. To cap the climax an old mission convent bell was hung on top of the thermometer and this bell was rung by boy scouts the guard daily from 7 to 9 A, M. and 5 to 7 P.-M. Praise Headquarter's Workers There were more subscriptions placed at headquarters for the Fourth Liberty loan than for the Third loan. Each day Mr. Frederick S.. Tyrell and Mr. Arthur A Zipf, assisted by women, were on hand to answer questions and take each and every subscription with a winning smile of appreciation. The public however could not realize what a lot of work had to be done from 8 o'clock in the evening until midnight when the subscription blanks were checked over and the report compiled to be ready for the Liberty bond clearing house in Chicago. This work was cheerfully done by a splendid band of men volunteers. Chief among them, for his unremitting faithfulness, was Mr. Sanborn Hale. The closing picture of that cam- paign appeared when that splendid poster of the Fourth Liberty loan was put on the big billboard at the station, showing a wonderful woman carrying a sword in her up-raised hand while her other hand held a shield behind which was a strong picture of the American eagle watching our soldiers marching on to victory. So ends the greatest Liberty Loan drive Winnetka has ever experienced and, in years to come, when. this frightful war is a matter of history, we shall feel proud to tell our child- ren that part of their inheritance will be bonds of the Fourth Liberty loan bought in Winnetka in October 1918. MERCHANTS FOLLOW OUT ECONOMY PLANS Records of the State Council of Defense Commercial Economy Ad- ministration show that Illinois merchants are pledging themselves by thousands to observe all requests for the conservation of man power, Among these requests are the one delivery a day system, elimination of special deliveries and the refusal to permit the return of goods kept longer than three days by the pur- chaser. The names of all merchants in towns of 1,000 or over in Illinois are on record in the Chicago offices of the administration, 'together with responses thus far made. Towns whose merchants are already re- ported as one hundred per cent loyal are Blue Island, Casey, Centralia, Geneva, Peru, Robinson, Sullivan, and Vandalia. Twenty other towns are on record as, eighty per cent loyal and names are still coming in. Chicago dry-goods merchants and grocers have completed organizations covering the entire city, and are pledging themselves to observe all rules. BOOKLET CONTAINS ADVICE FOR FAMILIES OF SOLDIERS "Before You Go" is the title of a booklet which has been issued by the Department of Civilian Relief of the American Red Cross for distribution by each home service section to drafted men. It contains advice for the drafted man and his family on the steps to be taken to safeguard property while he is gone, what to do to secure allotments and allowances and war risk insurance. Land cannot be sold for taxes, property purchased on the install- ment plan cannot be taken back with- out refund of all money paid, mortgages cannot be foreclosed or families evicted and insurance poli- cies and fraternal benefits will not lapse if proper steps are taken by the men in the service, their families or friends. The booklet tells just what to do in these and other emer- gencies, and tells where free legal advice may be obtained. WILL BUY AUTOS OF MEN GOING TO WAR By C. E.

MERCHANTS PLEDGED TO ECONOMY PLANS (Continued from Page One) be so hurtful to the interests of the nation that it cannot be permitted, the retail interests represented at this hearing have agreed to co-oper- ate further in the campaign hereto- fore and now being carried on under the auspices of the War Industries Board to restrict deliveries and to induce their customers to carry their own packages wherever possible. The retail interests to which reference has been made, have further agreed to make an announce- ment to the above substantial effect in their advertisements commencing in early September and repeating same weekly thereafter. The above suggestions if faithfully and loyally put into effect throughout the coun- try will make possible a continuance of holiday custom without endanger- ing the national interests thereby. The Council of National Defense will co-operate in carrying out the suggested measures. It looks to or- ganized business bodies of every nature and throughout the country actively to join the movement as providing means whereby that co- operation between the government and the people can be had which alone will permit the continuance of holiday business in such form, on such scale, and by such methods as are consistent with the national wel- fare. This announcement is definitely conditioned upon loyal and thorough co-operation in spirit and in letter on the part of sellers and buyers throughout the country." Martin Philipsborn, Chairman, Commercial Economy Administration of Winnetka: Not A Violation United States Fuel Administrator Garfield announced that the use of automobiles on gasolineless Sundays for the purpose of aiding the Fourth Liberty loan would not be considered a vioJation of the request of the Fuel Administration for the Sunday sav-' ing of gasoline. Under a proclamation President Wilson issued by | oil gas oil, kerosene, gasoline, and formulated by the Fuel Adiistia- | licenses to do business. tion, of importing, buting and transportingcrude oil, fuel | iY those engaged in the business manufacturing, distri- and regulations | natural gas are required to secure Dig up the coin and bury the Hun, Keep a Clear Line N normal times the telephone com- pany would not feel called upon to suggest that its subscribers forego the use of their service in any degree whatever. But these are days when intelligent econ- omy must be practiced by all. An unnecessary telephone call is as truly a waste as the unnecessary consumption of a pound of coal or a pound of food. Calls of a purely social character should be made brief. This does not mean that we must be abrupt and brusque, but merely that our conversation should not be prolonged into "'visiting."' If this practice is followed there will be fewer ""busy" reports from the operators. CHICAGO TELEPHONE COMPANY great, out there. system. wilderness. of Racine. then every thirty P:M.
