HOW TO DO It'll

many requests nave Deen re-
ceived for a simple digest of the
governments wonderful plan fol-
saving in small amounts, which
will give everyone an opportunity
of helping to win the war. 1t is
believed that the following state
ments will give the necessary
information, fully, yet concisely
The savings stamps are in two
denominations-25 cent thrift
stamps and $500 war saving
stamps.
Both kinds of stamps may be
bought at any post office, bank
or other selling agency.
With the first rs cent thrift
stamp purchased, a thrift card
holding sixteen stamps is given
free of cost.
When your thrift card is filled
you will have a total of $4.00.
Add IL cents to that amount
in December. 1917, or January,
1918, or one cent more each
month thereafter, and any post
office, bank or other selling
agency will deliver you a war
savings stamp.
The war savings stamps may
be secured by the exchange of
thrift stamps as above outlined,
or may be purchased for cash at
any post office, bank or other
selling agency.
The United States government
guarantees to redeem each Of
these baby bonds" January l,
1923, for $500.
The war savings stamps will
cost S4.12 in December, 1917,
and in January 1918, and will
cost one cent more in February,
and one cent more each succeed
ing month.
A war savings certificate, hold
ing twenty Of these savings
stamps, is furnished free of
charge.
When you have filled this war
savings certificate it will be
worth $4,000 January l, 1928.
This redeemable value is equal
to the amount you have paid in,
plus added interest at A per cent,
compounded quarterly.
If you should want your money
at any time before 1923, take
your war savings certificate to
any money order post office, give
ten days notice, and the amount
you have paid will be refunded
with added interest at about 3
per cent.
