UNITED STATES GOVERN
MENT WAR-SAVINCS
STAMPS


In offering "War-Savings
Stamps" to the public the United
States Government has made
Immediately available for every
man, woman, and child in the
Country a profitable, simple, anc
secure investment.
WHAT THEY ARE. WARSAW
ings. Stamps are the answer of 6
great democracy to the demand
for a democratic form of Govern.
ment security They are little
baby bonds. Like Liberty bonds,
they have behind them the en-
tire resources of the Government
and people of the United States.
They have the additional advan-
tage that they steadily increase
in value from the date of pur-
chase until the date of maturity,
and this increase is guaranteed
by the Government. Thesestamps
are issued in two denominations,
the 25-cent stamp and tho SIS
stamp.
For the convenience of inves-
tors a Thrift Card" is furnish
eo to all purchasers of 25-cent
stamps. This card has spaces for
16 stamps. When all the spaces
have been filled the Thrift Card
may be exchanged for a S. stamp
at post Offices, banks, or other
authorized agencies 'by adding
IL cents in cash prior to February
l, 1918, and l cent additional
each month thereafter.
Those who prefer may buy a
S. stamp outright. These will be
on sale from December 3, 1917,
until January 81, 1918, for $4. IL.
They automatically increase in
value a cent a month every month
thereafter until January |, 1923,
when the United States will pay
SIS at any post office or at the
Treasury in Washington for each
stamp affixed to a War-Savings
Certificate.
When you purchase a S. stamp,
you must attach it to an engrav-
ed folder known as a Warsaw
ings Certificate" which bears
the name of the purchaser and
can be cashed only by the person
whose name appears upon the
certificate, except in case Of
death or disability. This certif-
cate contains 20 spaces. If these
are all filled with War-Savings
Stamps between December 3,
1917, and January 81, 1918, the
cost to the purchaser will be
$S2. 40, and on January l, 1923,
the Government will pay the
owner of the certificate $1.00-a
net profit to the holder of $17.6O.
This is based on an interest rate
of Az compounded quarterly
from January 2, 1918. The
amount of War-Savings Stamps
sold to any one person at any
one time shall not exceed S100
maturity value), and no person
may hold such stamps or War
Savings Certificates to an aggre-
gate amount exceeding 81, 600
maturity value).
If the holder of a War-Savings
Certificate finds it necessary to
realize cash on it before maturity,
he may at any time after January
2, 1918, upon giving 10 days
written notice to any money
order post office, receive for
each stamp affixed to his certif-
cate the amount paid therefor
plus | cent for each calendar
month after the month of pur-
chase of each stamp. Aregistered
certificate may be redeemed,
however, only at the post Office
where registered.

RED CROSS SERVICE FLAGS
\ Feature of the Membership Drive.

N the Christmas Membership Drive,
which the American Red Cross will
aInch on Dec. 18th to acquire ten mil
ION new members by Christmas Eve, a
striking feature will be the use of Red
TOSS service flags to be posted in the
V1ndows of homes. The flags are made
IF transparent paper, and bear the Red
roSs emblem. The display of a Red
TOSS service flag in window will mean
nat person in that home is Red Cross
MEMBER. Space is provided in the white
eId of the flag for placing additional
Sed Cross emblems for additional mem
cegs of the household who join the Red
TOSS.
in the work of enrolment, throughout
ne campaign, each new member will re-
eve one of these emblems and be asked
70 place it in a window of his home and
mark upon it the record for each Red
ross member within the home. Firms,
stores, banks, ETC., will be encouraged to
splay emblems which they can have
manufactured, to indicate the full Red
GroSs membership in the esta blishment.
The Chapters will lend their efforts to
seeing that at 7.3O on Christmas Eve
,andle is placed in each window behind
this service emblem, so that on Christ
mas Eve there may be given expression
10 the universal aspect of the Red Cross.
To lend still further significance to this
Red Cross Christmas ceremony, it is sug-
.eSted that Chapters arrange with the
nurches to toll their bells at 7.3O on
Christmas Eve, and that they continue
heir tolling at half-hour intervals until
clock, the suggested duration of this
Christmas display. 1t is planned that in
rganized into groups to proceed through
zach neighborhood singing Christmas
arols
Each Red Cross service emblem dis
ubuted will have instructions printed on
ne back, encouraging the member to
axe part in the ceremony on Christmas
. I've by having a lighted candle in his
Hndow Newspapers will feature it and
astors will be asked to mention it in
lhelr sermons, and schools will be asked
10 explain to the children the significance
of the custom. 1t is expected that the
desire of the community to participate
this Christmas Eve ceremony will be
an interesting and strong inducement for
occurring membership.

all III their power 10 meet the various
needs of everybody But if they are to
be hampered and bewildered bv contradic-

system OF moving freights rapidly can be

government to attempt to control great

worse when rival subordinates who never

from the bill will not be lessened in the case of the Nome appropriation in the slightest degree by the fact that that Nome project is a bona fide requirement. and will be of vast benefit to the city and the district. However much we may de- plore the fact. it is clear that the chances are very much against our getting the harbor this year. With war expenditures threatening to tax severely the wealth producing re- sources of the country and demanding the utmost economy in the civil branches of government administra- ton and with the damning name of pork" attaching to our poor little harbor appropriation, the prospects are assuredly not of the brightest. Still, there is hope. and as we have been living largely on hopes while trying to attract Congressional at tention during To, these many years, we should not lose courage even though the senate decide against Us. If we lose we at least have the sat isfaction of having made a good fight and the fact that we have failed should not deter us from renewing our efforts firm in the justice of our demand that congress lend some as- sistance in opening thls wonderfully mineralized territory to commerce and industry.

HAReoR OUTLOOK.

Now that congress has finally suc- ceeded in disposing of the much fought over food bill we may expect early action on the rivers and har- bors bill, which,, in it's present state contains provision for an appropria- ton of sl05,00O for the construction of halbor at the mouth of Snake river.
 The rivers and harbors bill ordin- arily possess little interest for the average Nomeite but this year, ow- ing to the harbor provision, it is a measure of extreme importance in the eyes of all who possess an active interest in this section of the Alaska territory. In way the bill represent more than two years of effort on the part of the citizens of this section to secure a shelter for the coastwise fleet upon which depends the greater part of the commercial distribution of the district. And now that the bill is to be given the final test of con- gressional approval in the senate Nome awaits, not without some de- gree of apprehension, the final issue of her long continued efforts.
 Prophesies have been freely made by those in touch with Washington affairs that the measure will pass the upper house intact but, although we dislike to admit is. even to ourselves,

The response to all calls has been ready and vii ling, and not content with that alone, the people have taken the initiative and anticipated a number of requests that have come to them after already be- ing executed.
 The response to the call for volunteers placed fourteen Will Hams recruits in the ranks of the army and navy. Arizona was asked to raise less than 2,3O0 men for the army and na- wy combined. This made Will liams' quota not over twelve re- cruits. Williams has furnished more than this number and will furnish others still.
 Last week instructions came to Mayor Watson, that he pro- ceed to appoint a committee of seven who should proceed to organize the town for the na- tion's defense, by organizing a home guard and a Red Cross Chapter, and preparing for the raising of funds for financial assistance when needed. The first two of these had already been accomplished, the other awaits but for the occasion to rise. The Mayor accordingly had but to endorse the action already taken and make fur ther provision for carrying out what additional requests might be made.

Today we face the necessity of raising our First Arizona Infantry Regiment to war strength either by voluntary en- listment or by the draft. Vol untary enlistment is a credit to the man who gives his services and Arizona cannot be more highly honored than by having her young men voluntarily bring their organization to full strength.

In the hands of all the people of this State is Ari- zona's answer to the call of our Country and President. Delay means the draft, with no choice of service for the young men who go.
 America has entered this war on the side of liberty and humanity. Honoring the mem ory of those who fought for those principles in the Revolu- ton, who first established liber- 'ty and humanity as the basis of our government, it is fitting that the newest state to enter the Union should be the first to raise it's quota to defend those principles.
