BONDS TO help STAMPS
NO CONFLICT IN TWO CAMPAIGNS
ON THIS MONTH.
Thrift Stamps Appeal to Those Unable
To Buy Higher-Priced Securities of
the Government-Push Both Enter
priscs.

The Liberty Loan Campaign which
has just started offers War Savings
organizations a splendid opportunity to
stimulate popular interest in the
baby bonds" as War Savings Stamps
have been termed.
Bear in mind the fact that the Lib
erty Loan campaign is destined pri-
marily to reach those in community
who have sufficient funds to buy
bonds. Hardly over onc-tCuth Of the
country's population can be counted
on to invest in Liberty Bonds, tho
smallest of which is $50, but every
man, woman and child i'll the country
can afford to buy at least one So
War Savings Stamp. Thrift Stamps
ard War Savings Stamps make their
appeal To ONE HUNDRED MIL
LION Americans. whereas not over ten
million Americans. at the most. are
able to buy the Liberty Bonds.
While The Liberty Loan campaign is
on there Will be many millions of pa
triotic Americans who will wish to do
their share, but who can not afford
to invest $50 or more. Their means
do not equal their ambition to help.
THEY WILL WELCOME THE OP-
PORTUNITY AT THIS PSYCHOLOGY
ICAL TIME to buy the War Savings
Stamps, which in effect are the same
as United States Government bonds.
There is scarcely one of us who can
not become an owner of at least one
Thrift Stamp, or a War Savings Stamp,
and none of us can invest more than
1926 $4,000 maturity value) in War
Savings Stamps. If War Savings rep
resentatives approach this matter in
the right way, the third Liberty cam
paign will be one of the greatest w.
S. S. stimulants possible. There are
about sixty out of one hundred men,
and greater percentage among wOm-
en- and children, whose financial cir
cumstances ill prevent them from
buying Liberty BONDS, but who, in
spired with the desire to help, will
readily and enthusiastically buy w.
s. S.
If properly conducted along dignitied
lines, no friction in the two campaigns
should result. Only the best of good
will should prevail among the mem.
bers of both campaigns, but th-re
should be no abatement of activity on
the part OF every one connected with
the War Savings campaign. On the
contrary, it is the psychological and
ideal time to intensity w. S. S. efforts

NO eight HOUR =:
DAY IN WAR WORK
Declared Lexington Postmaster in
Telling Rural Mai Carriers They
Must go to T." in War
Savings Campaign.
KY. POSTMASTERS AROUSE
GOVERNMENT employees

Central Accounting Postmasters
throughout kentucky have been hold
ing meetings of District Postmasters
and Rural Carriers the past week for
the purpose of arousing them to the
demands upon them by the Federal
Government, through the Post Office
Department at Washington, that every
one get actively in the great campaign
now going on all over the country to
teach the lesson of Thrift and pro
mote the sale of Thrift Stamps and
War Savings Stamps among the people
they serve in their several commune
ties. In not n single instance has a
Postmaster ignored the call of State
Director James b. Brown for such
meetings, and every meeting has been
largely attended and will be product
i've of good results.
Postmaster Moses kaufman, of Lex
lnston, who has actively co-Operated
with County Chairman John Skain in
his every plan Of campaign, told his
associates and employees of the Post
Office Department in Fayette county
that there is no eight-hour day in war
work, and that they must go to it at
all hours, leaving the road side mail
box III the rural districts to call at the
doorstep Of the persons on his route
and see that they either bought War
Stamps or gave good and sufficient
reason why they could not do so.
DO you really think that the Amer.
Cn1Iinrc whn Of this MINT O
holding the line in France are holding
out for an eight-hour day? Alright
tLen, go to it, and give overtime to
your menaced country and sell these
stamps.
This is how Postmaster kaufman
went at the rural mail carriers at a
meeting of the carriers, which was
of War Savings Stamps. The rural
mail carriers, Mr.. Kaufman explained,
had fallen behind the city carriers in
results.
Now you men in the country should
see every man, woman and child on
your route. Put the mai. in the box
on the road, and then take the time to
sist on hearing. Don't let persona
rebuffs bother you. Just remind your
self that it is your country and not
you that is receiving the rebuff
Say to the men who refuse to buy
What right have you to stay at
home in ease and comfort, while other
Americans are dying in France? Why
has the government right to call on
one man to die, if it has not an equal
right to ask you to lend your money!
Tell him that he is the sort of man
that will make it possible for that he
roic line in France to break before the
Hun assault Put it up to him that it
will be his fault if the war is lost"
John Skain, the county chairman OF
the War Savings Stamp campaign
spoke and suggested yet another argu
ment
TELL the man who will not buy that
the government will get his money an
other way if he will not lend it to a
government which is willing to pay a
generous interest. There are, know
men of wealth on your routes, who
have SO far refused to buy. Tell those
men that the assessment boards of the
county know their wealth, and that
they are driving their government to
| resort to taxation. They are not go
ing to get away without putting VI
| some money for this war"

New Church PIanhed By Baptists Here.


Officers and members of the Bap-
lst church here have for some time
been planning to erect a new build
ing, and the matter has progressed
to the point where plans of an ar
chitect are to be submitted. From
an incomplete canvass for subscrip-
tlons, 1t is thought that something
like $50, 900 edifce will be erected,
which would give our city one Of
the finest structures OF the kind IN
this section. The congregation of
this church is one Of the. strongest
in the county, and its vigorous life
is causing constant additions.

A COMPARISON OF INTEREST.

A great deal of speculation and dis.
cussion have arisen in connection
with the comparative interest returns
of the War Savings Stamps and the
bonds of the Third Liberty Loan.
Now that the Treasury Department
has announced that the interest rate
on the new bonds is Az % a compari-
son can be made.
A War Savings Stamp bought Jan,
uary 1, 1918, if held until maturity.
January 1, 1928, pays a total interest
Of Lightweight cents, or seventeen and
6-10 cents per annum. This is equiva
lent to a rate Of 4.27% per annum
The interest rate increases each month
this year until in December the re.
turn develops as follows: That month
the stamp costs $4.23 and has four
years until maturity. The total inter
est received, if held until maturity, is
seventy-seven cents. For one year it
amounts to nineteen and One-quarteI
cents, which is at the rate of 4.55%
per annum.
The Third Liberty Loan bonds will
not be convertible into subsequent is
sues, so you can assure the public that
the purchaser of War Savings Stamps
is not disseminated against in the new
bond issue.
I quote the following from Secretary
McAdoo: "In the coming Liberty
Loan drive" said the Secretary, "the
War Savings organizations should con
tinue their efforts in the formation OF
War Savings societies, educational
york in the schools, and general thrift
propaganda. There are persons whe
are unable to buy Liberty Loan bonds
| and all these persons should be urged
to buy War Savings Stamps"
You will note from this our cam
paign is not to slacken. Let our Slo
gan be:
Liberty Loan Bonds for the fellow
who can buy them, and War Savings
Stamps for everybody.

BOURBON COUNTY
Chairman Bedford Tops Kentucky
Counties With One Hundred
Thousand Dollars Sold.

A Bluegrass county, Bourbon, holds
the record so far in Kentucky, size,
population and quota considered, in
the sale OF Thrift Stamps and War
Savings Stamps. Chairman S. E. Bed
ford has reported to State Headquar
tiers at Louisville that his organization
has disposed of 100000 worth of
Stamps It's quota is $349 ,24O, and the
Bourbon organization is planning to
have all of this amount either sold out
right or pledged before the Third Lib
erty Loan campaign gets fairly started
in his section of Kentucky.
The Paris Kentuckian- Citizen, which
is actively cooperating with Mr.. Bed
ford and his organization in this great
war activity has the following article
with reference to the campaign in
Bourbon:
"Fifty-nine Bourbon county people
have been enrolled in the One Thou
sand Dollar War Savings Stamp Club
as a result of their subscribing for the
maximum of Stamps permitted by the
United States Government.
Other persons have literally SUD-
scribed for War Savings Stamps i'll
amounts from five to five hundred dol
lars each, and as a result Chairman S.
*. Bedford has disposed of more than
one hundred THOUSAND dollars worth
Of War Savings Stamps through his
working committees distributed in
Bourbon county.
Bourbon county's allotment Of War
people must hurry themselves a bit
and subscribe quickly for the Stamps
remaining unsold.
In the War Savings campaign Bour-
bon people, rich and otherwise, have
come forward with their subscriptions
to this gilt-edge investment in a most
pleasing and commendable way, for all
OF which County Chairman Bedford
| and the members of the precinct com.
mittees are highly appreciative. How
ever, the unsold War Savings Stamps
must be sold before the next issue Of
| Liberty Loan Bonds, which will be
offered to the public in April.
"Get busy, you patriotic and liberty
loving people Of Bourbon. Call on some
member OF the committee and buy lib
orally Of the War Savings Stamps, the
best and most desirable investment OBJ
tainable today. Do your duty now
don't wait until members Of the Coun-
~ Committee, all busA business men,
LOOK you up to beg you to do yorf

have they caught no rumor of this

AFTER
THE REAPERS

/ The plan OF having the Boy Scouts
campaign at the end of the regular
campaign in a house-to-hOuse canvass
is the particular service that has been
assigned to the Boy Scouts of America
by the United States treasury depart
ment. Undoubtedly in many cases it
will affect the opportunity of the
scouts to secure credit for a larger
number of subscriptions. 1t must be
remembered that the Boy Scouts Of
America have not been asked to par
ticipate in these Liberty loans for the
purpose of taking the places of other
agencies for securing subscriptions or
for the mere purpose of making a
record.
The Boy Scouts of America have
been asked to serve as cleaners
after the reapers," and the real
strngth and effectiveness of our work
will be based upon the number of
people whom we induce to subscribe
who would otherwise have been over
looked, and the number of persons
who might be induced to make addi-
tional subscriptions because of the
earnest and patriotic appeal of the
Boy Scouts, who are working not for
awards alone but to help win the war.
Almost without exception the
bankers throughout the country have
been appreciative and have heartily
co-operated with the scouts in the
previous campaigns, but 1t is believed
that because of the definite recogni-
ton of the value of the services of
the Boy Scout campaign by the
United States treasury department of
fieials and the chairmen of the differ
ent Liberty loan committees through
out the country, there will be even
closer cooperation. The Boy Scout
application blank, provided by the
United States treasury department,
has been made the same size as other
blanks and is designed to reduce to
minimum the work of the bankers.
Definite announcement of when the
intensive Boy Scout campaign will
open will be given later. We ex-
pect to open the campaign either Sat
