The unfathomed possibilities of the
United States mails as a medium of
governmental publicity are to be de-
veicped to bring home to everv per-
son in the country the need Of sub
scribing to the Liberty Loan. Every
letter of the many millions that pass
daily through the mails soon is to
bear a special cancellation stamp of
striking design to notify all persons
receiving mail that the nation is call

Every letter box of the hundreds
Ct thousands in the country is to be
rlacarded with posters announcing the
loan and the need for contributions.
Every posoffice is to display posters
prominently giving full information
as to the issue.
Every one Of the 10000 vehicles op-
Grated by the Postoffice Department,
| from the one-horse buggy of the
rural carrier to the powerful mail
trucks in the principal cities, is to
proclaim IN large type from posters
on its sides that the Liberty Loan
is open to subscriptions and that it
is the duty of every citizen who can
! to subscribe. Every letter carrier in
every city is to have a card to stick
i in his cap. More than that, every
i letter carrier and every free delivery
! carrier is to be a bureau of informa
ton as to the terms of the issue.
