WAR SAVING STAMPS FOR ALL.

Eyerything's ready now ior the wal
savings certificate campaign that will
open the first week in December.
War savings certificates and thrift
stamps might be called miniature Lib
erty Bonds. They are to help tie gov
eminent win the war against Pruslan'
ism and they are TO give the individual
citizen chance to share personally In
this victory for democracy.
II takes only a quarter at time
rs cents week or day, as you're
able--to purchase thrift stamps. And
that little % cents will draw per
cent interest when invested in Uncle
Sans war savings and war winning
scheme.
Thrift stamps at % cents each or
war savings certificates at $i.l2 cents
each can be purchased from Dec on,
at any bank or post office, and at many
department stores, drug stores and
even corner grocery stores. After jan
uary 1918, the $4l2 certificates will
cost one penny more each month. On
January 1st, 1928 that $4.l2 certificate
can be cashed for IS. 1t can be cashed
earlier, but the interest earned will
be less, of course.
Thrift stamps, as soon as there are
enough Of them. can be turned into
war savings stamps. With the first war
savings stamps comes certificate con-
tanning spaces for twenty such stamps.
II all twenty spaces are filled by the
last of January, 1918, the purchaser
will have saved $S2.4C for himself and
loaned the government that amount.

The British empire, it is estimated,
has 100000 purchasers of such war

110,000,0O0 certificates had been sold
and about $500 600 GOO had been raised
by that means.
