Fargo 10 Active.
In Fargo some OF the banks have
advertised the thrift and savings
stamps for sale and given the cause
a good boost. A large supply OF
handsome posters relating to buying
war savings stamps have arrived at
headquarters and are being distribut-
ed in the city and sent out over the
state. Others will follow in shoB
order and In every way the treasury
at Washington is dis
playing the greatest energy. in the
presentation of this savings move
ment.
The state committee is highly
gratitled at the evidences OF enthusi-
asm in ali parts OF the state, and in
every locality this scheme OF effect
ing small savings through the thrift
stamps and developing these into
war savings certificates seems to ap-
peal to the people, lie the letters re-
ceived at headquarters may be taken
as indicating popular opinion.
Don't forget to put a thrift card
and stamp in the kddie's Christmas
stocking.
