lSecretary of State Committee Con-
Quoting War Saving Campaign.)
Everyone has now heard of the
United States war savings certificates
and thrift stamps. They offer the fin
est plan yet devised for helping the
government, and helping ones self in
starting upon the path of constructive
saving. Everything one can save from
s5c up by this plan can be applied di-
rectly toward the purchase of one of
these baby bonds" and can be loaned
to Uncle Sam for the prosecution of
the war and at the best interest yet
offered.
Although these thrift and savings
stamps are of the issue Of 1918, yet
they were put on sale at the postoffices
and at the banks as fast as they were
received. early in December, especially
with the idea that they would serve
as ideal Christmas presents both to
children and grownups.
Each state in the Union has its own
special organization for the handling
of the publicity and educational and
organizing work within it's boundaries.
Ex-Governor James H. Hawley was
appointed by the secretary of the treas
ury as director for the state of Idaho
He selected the writer as secretary of
the state committee and to be in
charge of the details Of the work at the
state headquarters which were opened
In rooms 405-407, Overland building,
Cphone 542.)
WORK IN COUNTIES.
At once Mr.. Hawley set about the
task Of appointing an advisory COM
mittee which would be of the most
service in helping to block out the gen.
sral plans and methods Of work. Also
the man whom he considered the best
man for the WORK was selected in each
county and asked to serve as county
director, and to appoint under himself
q complete county committee which in
turn would lay out its campaign for
the county, but under the general di-
rection and with the assistance Of the
state headquarters. The next step was
to plan out with Miss Redfield, state
superintendent of public instruction, a
scheme for organizing all the schools
of the state and that work was imme-
diately started.
Soon after the Christmas HOLIDAYS
the thrift card and savings certificate
plan will be explained in every school
room in the state and arrangements
Will be made for a period each week

NOT A SHORT CAMPAIGN.
The United States war savings cam
paign is not to be a drive under high
pressure terminated in q few weeks.
but will continue as a steady push I'M
til the total authorized issue of two
billion dollars is taken up. This means
an average Of $40 for each individual.
The problem is now that of blocking
out careful and systematic plans to
reach everyone and then a constantly
increasing momentum as more and
more have started and are accumulat-
ing their savings as rapidly as posi-
BILE.
The biggest problem, naturally, Is
that of reaching the rural communities
and more isolated sections. Every post
office Is selling these stamps and the
card to which they are attached, and
every postman and rural mail carrier
is instructed by the postmaster gen.
eral to do everything in his power to
interest those whom he serves in the
purchase of these stamps. He will fill
all orders sent in for stamps to be de-
livered when the postage free post
cards" are sent out for this purpose.
However. the rural mail carriers do
not see most of the people on their
routes as the majority are served by
the picking up and leaving of mail
sacks at the mail boxes at the cross
roads. The most effective way of
reaching these rural families will be
through the school children who will
carry home the details of the plan and
the gospel of saving. Also the coun-
ty directors will devote special atten-
ton to the arranging Of special meet
ings and addresses, etc, at school
houses and other community centers in
the rural districts. The county agri-
culture agents have agreed to help
formulate plans to reach the farmers
Although the big push will be made
in the early months of 1918, yet the
machinery Is so well started that al
ready many of the county directors
have reported in the details of their
organization and that the work is well
on its way For example, Karl Paine,
director for Ada county, inaugurated
his speaking campaign In the rural
centers on Sunday evening, Dec. 23,
with a big rally in Star, at which there
were attractive musical entertainment
features, and addresses by Judge Nor
gan of the supreme court and by John
Nugent. and an explanation of the
plan by Mr.. Paine himself. Also H.

this was a glorious victory, and vic

WORK OF THE BOYS.
The boys, too. proved themselves to
be alive as the challenge came to them
for part in this great undertaking.
Idaho pledged herself for $4,000 from the
boys, to be given, not of their parents
money, but of money actually earned
with their own hands, and the boys
responded with approximately IS, 600. 90,

PROBLEM OF THRIFT.
The United States has acquired the
unenviable reputation of being a
spendthrift nation. 1t Is true that there
has seemed to the average citizen very
little and pressing need for careful
saving. Furthermore, there has been
no sense of the dignity and importance
of thrift. But since we are facing the
burdens Of a colossal war which. be-
fore 1t is finished, will call on every
individual for the utmost that he can
do, we are forced to face this problem
United States war savings plan has
been worked out by some of the
brightest minds in the country and 1t
presents to the people the most eff
fective method for making every little
count in the way Of savings and help
ing the government to prosecute the
war; and at the same time it is help
ing the individual to start accumulat-
ing for himself against the time when
his savings will be most needed.
Idaho confidently expects that she
will go over the top with her quota
