WAR-SAVINGS CERTIFICATES
OFFER NEW CHANCE FOR
= SMALL INVESTOR

The man with limited means-even
the school boy or girl with few
pennies to spare now and then-who
wants safe and profitable invest
ment which at the same time will help
the country, finds his opportunity in
the new war savings certificate plan.
During December, 1917, and jan
uary, 1918, war-savings stamps will
be sold at SAP each, at post offices,
banks, trust companies, and many
business houses and factories through
out the country. At the beginning of
each succeeding month the cost Of
stamp will increase l cent. All war
savings stamps issued during 1918
will mature January 1, 1923, when
they will be redeemed at SIS each. The
difference between purchase price and
the price at maturity represents the
interest the Government will pay the
holder, per cent compounded quar-
terly.
The entire wealth and security Of
the United States is behind the war
savings certificates. No person may
purchase at one time more than 500
worth, or hold at one time more than
81 1000 worth of these securities.
Thrift stamps costing 25 cents each
may be purchased from time to time
and affixed to thrift card, which is
supplied without cost. These stamps
will not bear interest, but a thrift
card when filled at cost of 81 may
be exchanged for an interest-bearing
war-savings stamp by turning the
card in and paying the difference be-
tween 81 and the current price of a
war-savings stamp. With the first
war-savings stamp bought the pur-
chaser will obtain without charge a
war-savings certificate containing
space for 20 of these stamps.
If the 20 spaces are filled prior to
January 1, 1918, the cost to the pur-
chaser will have been $4.12 for each
stamp, or $S2.40 for the filled certi-
fcate, and on January 1, 1923, the
Government will redeem 1T at 500,
giving the holder net profit of $3.50
for the use of his money.
Money derived from war-savings in
vestments will be used to meet the
expenses of the war. The greater
part of these funds will be expended
within the United States.

WHEN ALL ELSE FAILS
From Saginaw Courier Herald.

From saginaw fourier neraio'
= 1t may be said to President Will
sons credit that when he does be-
latedly change his mind and get on
the right track, he drives hard. While
that cannot make up for the lost time,
it is a mitigating feature in his favor.
When Roosevelt, Gardner and Leon
ard Wood were clamoring for prepar-
edness, Wilson denounced them as
nervous and excited" and said that
we were prepared to defend ourselves.
It took the world long, long time
to convince him Of his error. When
he did, finally, get on the right track,
he came out for a CONSUMPTION plan
that assures an equitable distribution
of the burdens of war so far as in
dividual danger and sacrifice are con-
cerned.
But he has not yet changed his mind
on partisanship. He is for vigorous
prosecution of the war, but insists
upon obscuring the men who have all
along been the pioneers in the work
to which he has finally given his ap-
prevail. Roosevelt has been suppress
ed at every opportunity. Leonard
Wood has been put as far as practical
BILE from the firing line. Nobody
knows where Gardner is or what he is
doing. He quit his Office in congress
and went to the colors but he has been
SO placed in the service that no one
hears Of him. The wet blanket has
been thrown upon intelligent patriot
ism. When a congressman is to be
elected to fill vacancy, the spokes-
men of the administration go out with
the word that the President wants a
Democrat. elected. The man who de-
clared that "a vote for Republican
is vote for Prussianism and the
Kaiser" is in favor at the White
House. The cabinet is as solidly DEM
ocratic as ever. The newly appointed
delegation to the conference of the
Allies is Democratic. The committee
on Public Information is Democratic
The War Exports Trade Board is DEM
ocratic. The non-partisan tariff COM
mittee is Democratic. Partisanship
rules supreme. There is no sign what
ever, of any intention of the President
to change his policy in this regard,
but, if by any chance he should do
so, it may be safely predicted that he
will go the limit, and, when desperate
circumstances make such action nee
essary, he will even admit Col. Roose-
welt to active participation in the war.

A RED CROSS CHRISTMAS

\ \ ktu CkUSS CHkISIMAS
< The War Council of the Amer
\ lean Red Cross has conceived
J that a great national purpose
will be served by having mem.
h bership in the Red Cross almost
4 as universal as citizenship.
Although pledged as nation
to the national purpose during
! this great crisis, 1t will not be
granted to a large percentage
of us to play a part in the fight
ing branches Of our country's
service.
All of us, however, can he
identified with the Red Cross,
which in these times when whole
nations are organized for war
fare, is big enough and strong
enough to carry some Of the bur-
den for our soldiers, our sailors
and our Allies.
We want a Red Cross of three
quarters of million members
in Michigan. We want the
strength and support that will
grow from this army Of mem
Z bers.
Christmas time has been set to
J attain this goal, because the Red
Cross and Christmas spring
from the same spirit, and these
two great symbols Of mercy,
y sacrifice and cheer may well be
n united. On this, our first Christ
\ mas in the war, the Red Cross
symbol will add, not a spirit OF
y detection, but the thought OF
\ serious purpose and sacrifice
\ which through accomplishment
& 1t represents.
y It is hoped that from this
\ Christmas campaign of 1911
4 will grow permanent custom,
< which will increase the signi-
y ficance both of Christmas and
\ the Red Cross.
