Mr.. Vanderlip and Secretary McAdoo
regard as of even greater Importance than
raising the two billion dollars two BY
products of the War Savings movement:
First, The inculcation tol habits of
thrift in the American people:
Second, The cutting down of unneces-
sary personal expenditures, which is
absolutely essential to winning the war,
but goods and services, can only be
secured. by the Government as the indi-
vidual cuts down unnecessary exdendi-
lures and by that much releases labor to
build ships, make ammunition, clothe the
soldiers, and do the innumerable things
which the Government must do if we are
to win the fight.
Below is , table showing the amount of
war stamps which must be sold in the
different counties of. Vermont:

WAR SAYINGS PLAN
F. A. Rowland, State Director,
Inaugurates Campaign for
Vermont.

What Secretary McAdoo describes as
the greatest medium for stimulating
thrift and savings ever devised is to be
put in operation by the United States
Treasury Department on December Sd.
The plan is the work of Frank A.
Vanderlip, president of the largest bank
in America, assisted by leaders Of labor,
agriculture and commerce. The magni-
tude of the undertaking can be appreciated
from the fact that the two billion dollars
to be rasied between now and January l,
1919, requires an average purchase by
every man, woman, and childin the United
States of War Savings Stamps of the face
value of $1,000 These stamps of the
denomination of $500 may be bought for
$4.12, which latter sum with interest at
4 percent, compounded quarterly, will
amount to $500 on January l, 1923,
when the stamps are to be redeemed.
Thrift Stamps, so called, in the denomi-
nation of 25 cents will also be sold but
these will not draw interest, being used
merely to accumulate small savings to an
amount sufficient to exchange for five
dollar stamps The stamps will be on
sale at post offices, banks, ticket offices,
stores, moving picture houses, and so
generally at public places that Mr..
Vanderlip intends they shall be the most
accessible article on sale. Rural Letter
carriers aud city carriers are required by
post Office regulations to carry these
stamps and solicit their purchase. The
schools will be especially interested in the
plan, as teachers recognize that we are
a spendthrilt people and that nationwide
improvement in this respect, in order to
be lasting, must begin with the young
That we are far behind most of the
world in general thrift is shown by the
number OF people in thousand who had
savings accounts prior to the present war
OF fifteen leading nations the United
States come last, Switzerland standing
at the head, the record of several coun-
tries being as follows:

A state organization will be completed

will reach to every corner of the state
and require patriotic service from men,

Department of Education of the state has

August 26 but wrote you one letter
in September. We move so often
that it is hard to find time to write
a decent letter. Have not moved for
over six weeks except from tent to
tent and hut to hut. About time to
set US in motion again. You do not
realize what you are saying when
you announce desire to be with US.
Consider yourself fortunate that
you are in Vermont instead of
France. The sound of heavy gun
fire is continuous and believe me
when you hear the first shell screech
overhead you commence to realize
that war is rough game. We are
all looking forward to the time when
our work will have been completed
and we start back to the good old
u. S. A. but we will stick until the
curtain drops.
sgym
Presume you have been out after
some game already. Gee but it sure
would seem great to drop into some
quiet camp like Mill Pond, East
Brighton, for a weeks outing. Ken
meth must be quite a boy, Della
sent me a photo of both Kenneth
and Clifford which | prize very
much. Hope this letter reaches you
0. K. and that it will find you all in
good health. Give my regards to
Bob and teacher" also my old
acquaintance you may chance to
meet. This letter will probably
reach you about Christmas so will
take this opportunity to wish you a
Very Merry Christmas and a Happy
New Year. No one knows when we
will return but do not expect to be
here less than two years. Write Of
ten as you can and give me all the
news because letters are appreciated
more than money. By the way, we
are paid in French money every
month at the rate of 5 francs 10
centimes for American dollar. 1t
takes 100 centimes to make a franc
and 10 centimes is about the same as
two cents in American money. Very
easy money to get accustomed to and
| like it much better than English
money. Time to eat-supper-about
l p. M, at home and 6 p. m. here
so will conclude for this time. Will
try and write oftener in the future
and hope you will do likewise. You
may have to pay postage on this let
( ter but we understand that if our
letters are properly endorsed no pos
tage is required. Am numbering
my letters consecutiveIy so you can
tell when any are lost and would
suggest that you follow my practice.
Be sure and write often and good
long newsy letters. Thanks again
for the precious package. Will try
and bring you souvenir from a
famous battlefield when l return
providing l am fortunate enough to
get back. With lots Of love and
best wishes to you all. remain,

"And the Angel answered and said
unto the women, Fear not ye, for
know that ye seek Jesus which was
crucified. He is not here for He is
risen as Hesaid
The resurrection OF our Lord and
Savior. Jesus Christ, is an event Of the
most vital Importance to the Order Of
Christian Knlghthood. 1t was the in
spiration by means of which these or
ders came into existence, and the force
which has sustained the same from
their institution in the dim ages Of the
past
The birth. life death, resurrection
and ascension Of our Savior is the pro-
fession of our faith.
When on that memorable Easter
morning. nineteen centuries ago, the
two Marys met the Angel at the open
door, and received the cheering mes
sage, HE is not here for He is risen
as He said" a new hope came to hui
manity, and the Christian religion re-
seived its crowning glory.
AS an order founded on the Chris
tian religion, and the practice Of the
Christian virtues, it is most fitting that
we observe the anniversary Of the res
direction of our Redeemer by attend
ing services at some Christian house
of worship

port in full uniform, at the Asylum of
