s Wm Wm mm WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 7, 1917 i, $96,000 GIVEN AS 'WINNETKA'S QUOTA Local Postal Authorities Announced That Village's Share Under War- Savings Plan Has Been Set. AN OPPORTUNITY TO SAVE Plan Gives Everyone a Chance to Save and Assist the Government. Winnetka's quota under the war- savings stamp plan has been an- nounced as $96,000 by the local postal authorities. At present the stamps can be obtained at the postoffice, and a number of business houses will ar- range for the sale of stamps at a later date. The war-saving plan provided for in the last bond act, of September 24, 1917, has been formulated and an- nounced by the Treasury Department and went into operation on Monday, December 3. The plan puts it easily in reach of every American citizen to save money and at the same time aid the Govern- ment by supplying it with the sinews of war. Stamps, which are the Govern- ment's certificates of indebtedness, are to be sold in two denominations --thrift stamps which cost 25 cents each, and war-saving stamps, which cost from $4.12 to $4.23 each, accord- ing to the month in which they are purchased. With the first thrift stamp the pur- chaser is given a thrift card with spaces for 16 stamps. When 16 thrift stamps have been purchased and af- fixed the thrift card can be exchanged for a war-saving stamp by paying the difference between the $4 the thrift stamps represent and the current value of a war-saving stamp, which in December, 1917, and January, 1918, will be $4.12, and thereafter 1 cent for each succeeding month during the year 1918. With the first war-savings stamps obtaine dby purchase or exchange the owner is given a war-savings certificate containing spaces for 20 war-savings stamps. If the 20 spaces are filled during December, 1917, or January, 1918, the cost to the pur- chaser will be $4.12 for each stamp, or $82.40 for the full certificate, and on the first of January, 1923, the Gov- ernment will redeem the certificate at $100, giving the holder a net profit of $17.60 for the use of his money. Although these investments do not mature until January 1, 1923, provision is made whereby upon 10 days' writ- ten notice after January 1, 1918, such certificates will be redeemed by post- masters at their cost to purchaser plus 1 cent a month on each war- saving stamp on the certificate. The stamps and certificates can be obtained by purchase or exchange trust companies, at most railroad stations, stores, factories, and many other public places. DOUCLAS FAIRBANKS IS BILLED AT THE STRAND Bodkin and Keene are jubilantly announcing the best photoplay Doug- las Fairbanks has yet appeared in, released by Artcraft, which will shortly be presented at The Strand. in Evanston. The picture is based upon original ideas of Fairbanks, which accounts for the rather odd title, "Reaching for the Moon." Douglas is somewhat of a philos- opher, and has always contended that if a man can make good in a small way he can develop himself to suc- ceed in a bigger venture; that the at- tainment of happiness is really suc- cess, and that one should take ad- vantage of existing opportunities in- stead of "reaching for the moon." Anita Loos and John Emerson pre- pared this philosophical story, deal- ing with the dreamer who envies the big man. The co-authors have a unique twist at the end of their story, which is a surprising finale, and would spoil the pleasure of those see- ing the film if told in advance. BRYAN PREDICTS DRY U. S. WITHIN 2 YEARS William Jennings Bryan, at the opening session of the W., C. T. U. convention, Friday, predicted ratifi- cation by the states of a prohibition amendment to the federal constitu- tion within two years. With twenty- six states already dry and prohibi- tion territory spreading in others, Mr. Bryan said, a federal amendment Satrnea 1020 cPAtMe roaviatn NAVAL STATION MAY GET CAMP AT FORT SHERIDAN Is the Fort Sheridan military reser- vation to become the Annapolis of the west? Rumors have it that the his- toric army post is to be taken over by the navy, either as an. addition' to Great Lakes or as a separate school for the training of naval officers. It is believed an official announcement to this effect will be made within a few days. There has been for some time con- siderable speculation as to the future of the great north shore military res- ervation. It is now definitely known that it is not to be used this winter as a third officers' training camp. It is also very doubtful if it will be used as headquarters for certain reg- iments of the army, though one regi- ment is now stationed there and an- other one is expected to arrive with- in the next few days. ! The post can accommodate com- fortably more than 20,000 troops. De- mands for a second Annapolis have been made ever since war was de- clared, and now the rumor has it that the largest naval officers' training camp in the country will be located at Fort Sheridan. Secretary of the Navy Daniels took steps Tuesday to acquire part of the government land at Fort Sheridan for a temporary war time extension of the Great Lakes Naval Training station. Mr. Daniels first instituted inquiries as to whether any of this land is available. If he finds this is the case, the secretary said, he will ask the secretary of war to turn over unused portions of the Forst Sheridan reser- vation to the navy for the period of the war. Capt. William A. Moffett, command- ing the Great Lakes station, sug- gested the availability of Fort Sheri- dan to Secretary Daniels. Capt. Mof- fett said there were facilities at the post unused since the officers' train- ing camp closed. Unless the army has pressing need of this land he be- lieved the navy could use it to good advantage. The transfer of the Fort Sheridan facilities to the navy could be made without legislation, officials said. DRY ELECTION PETITION TO BE COMPLETED DEC. 10 December 10 has been fixed as the time for completing the house to house solicitation for signers to the petition to put the dry question on the ballot in Chicago next spring. A circular announcing the fact was mailed by the Young People's Civic league inclosing a "sugar circular" which read: "You are respectfully reminded that sugar is scarce. To use as little as possible is the request of the food controller. "The, brewers of America waste 549,910,000 pounds of sugar annually. Vote Chicago dry and stop sixty Chicago brewers and 6,000 saloons from wasting food material."

Chicken giblets and fowl are not, un- 'der the meaning of meatless day. Secret service men have discovered that liver, pigs' feet, et cetera, have been served on meatless day and it's got to stop, they say. . Capt. Thomas I. Porter, head of the secret service in this district, has found out that a number of grocers who have customers with charge ac- counts have been trying to fool the government by delivering sugar in two pound packages several times in a day to the same customer. "I'm going to look in their books," said Capt. Porter. "The fact that this thing is done proves guilty intent. Their own books will convict them. This practice must be broken up. All must obey."

In many cases throughout the country automobile owners have learned to drive their own cars or have given them up entirely that their chauffeurs might be released to give their valuable specialized service to the Army.
