LESSON NO. BLENDING
YOUR MONEY TO
THE GOVERNMENT.

@. What security is behind the
War-Savings Stamp?
A. The United States Government
promises to pay $500 for each Stamp
on January 1st, 1928. This promise
is backed by the faith and honor OF
the United States and by the taxing
power OF this country which Is the
richest nation in the world.
O. Why does the United States
borrow this money:
A. To pay the expenses of the war.
O. When / lend my money to the
government would it be safer to buy
a government bond rather than these
war-Savings Stamps?

attached to a war-Savings Certificate
it becomes a government obligation
with the same security as the Liberty
Bonds. now held by more than TO-
600, 900 Americans.
@. Is the per cent interest, COM
pounded quarterly. on War-Savings
Certificates paid in the same way as
the interest on Liberty Bonds?
A. No. The Liberty Bond interest

terest on the Savings Certificate
sum, on January 1, 1929.
@. why isn't the interest paid in
the same manner on both WARSAW
ings Certificates and Liberty Bonds?
A. It would be very complicated and
expensive to pay interest every six
months on SIS stamps and for that
reason the United States Government
retains the interest until January 1,
1923, at which time it pays you the
compound interest and the principal.
amounting to S. the face value of the
War-Savings Stamp.
c. Shall I sell Liberty Bonds to
buy Savings Stamps?
A. No. The security behind Liber-
ty bonds and War-Savings Certificates
is the same Keep your Liberty
Bonds, but buy War-Savings Stamps
also
Q. Is the money received from War
Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps
used for the same purpose as money
received from Liberty Bonds?
A. Yes.
@. Should I take money out of the
Savings Bank to buy War-Savings

you can every day and buy Thrift
ana War-SaVlngS stamps
with these savings.
Q. How did Congress authorize
these War-Savings Certificates?
A. BY act approved September "a,
1917.
Q. How large an amount Of War
Savings Certificates can be issued
under the present law?
A. $4,000. 100000
Transfer.
Q. Can I sell or transfer my War
Savings Certificates to anyone
A. No. The Certificate is not
transferable and is Of value to the
owner only, except in case Of death or

anyone?
A. No. Your Thrift Card has your
name on it and should be filled with
sixteen 25 cents

Since thou wilt not stay?
Thou art like a wind, Song,

Where soft whisperings are.

Shed far from many star.
Over hill and over void
Whence didst thou blow
WHITTIER wilt thou hurry, Song?

Nay, I will not ask thee then

The articles will be displayed on
