rHRlET STAMPS

1t is pointed out by the treasury de-
partment that Thrift Stamps are not
made redeamable in cash for the reason
that these stamps are simply intended as
a convenient method for the small savers
to accumulate enough to purchase War
Savings Stamps which bear interest and
are redeemable in cash.
In addition, to provide for redemption
for these Thrift Stamps would involve
such an amount Of detailed accounting
and labor and expense as to impair the
practicability Of their use. In fact, they
would be more trouble and expense to the
Government possibly than they are worth.

SOMEBODY KIDDING

There have been those-not many, but
roisy-who have shouted in the market
place that this is not peoples war, not
a popular war. God forbid that any war
should ever be a popular war in the
sense that this one was popular at one
time with our adversary. But it was
these same folk of little faith who stated
long ago that Congress would not put
the country on a selective service basis,
but it did, who said that the people Of
the Nation would not .egister for mill
tary service, but they did; WIG said that
draft riots would be the answer to the
attempt to gather them into camps, but
it wasn't; who said that rebellion would
follow the attempt to place American
troops on foreign shores-behold, they
have gone singing, and those who re-
main are fighting to follow. The Public
