The 2J.Ccnt securities are known as
Thrift Stamps" The 5-dollar size

The Secretary OF the Treasury was
given until January 1, 1918, to dispose
Of these securities.
The congressional act authorizing
the War Certificate Loan provides
that no person can own moro than
one thousand dollars worth of these
securities. The ohylous reason for
this WAS TO prevent the loan being
taken up by big Investors which
would Otherwise have been done on
account of the high rate of interest
paid.
The small amounts IN which the
war savings securities can be obtain
ed We're made to allow every man,
woman and child In the country to
aid in loanlng the government money
FOR the prosecution OF the war. Tho
5-dollnr war savings stamps when at.
tached to certificate are practically

which is equivalent to about 4h%.
