War Savings Stamps to the matur-
ity value of Sl92 300. About $50,
900 of this has already been sub

$l62, 800.
Following is the text of a pro-
clamation issued by Governor
Emanuel l.. Philip in the interest
of the War Savings campaign,
closing June 2S:
The stirring Memorial Day ap
peal of President Wilson calls at
tention to the needs of our country
in the present great world war /,
is an appeal to the people of the
United States for hearty cooperation
in all things needed to win the war
The people of Wisconsin have
thus far been most generous in
their responses to the calls of the
government. Our young men of
military age are joining the ranks
of the army with spirit of enthu-
siasm that gives assurance that they
will do their part as soldiers. In
our prompt and liberal contribu-
tions of money and service this state
is winning the admiration of the
people of our country. The sacri-
fices that we have thus far made
will add brilliant page to Wiscon
sins war history.
However, the end of the war is
not yet in sight, and the splendid
efforts that we have made in the
past must continue. To meet the
enormous expenditures that are nee.
essary to assure success, we must
learn to regard thrift as a virtue
that all must practice. We can
we'll affC,d to forego luxuries in
order that we may save our earn
ings and loan them 10 the govern
ment to meet the expenditures nee
essary TO carry on the war. Those
who can give but small amounts
are doing their bit. The saw
ings of our children, the working
boys and the working girls, and
the great army of wage earners,
both men and women, if invested
in government loans will, in the
aggregate, amount to large sums
and will be a substantial aid.
In order to give all an opportun-
ity to show their interest in our
country and its welfare. the govern
ment is offering Thrift Stamps for
sale, the value of which has been
we'll advertised and is understood.
The allotment to this state of this
class of security is fifty. one million
dollars. Our people have thus far,
by their liberal subscriptions, regu-
larly exceeded the amounts allotted
to the state and sincerely hope
that in this collection the state will
again meet the expectations of the
government
On June twenty-ei eighth there will
be meetings held in every school
house in our state, and | earnestly
request that the people attend these
meetings and pledge II emselves to
purchase such amounts of these Sc
curities that our quota may be Sc
cured and that we may again be
able to send word to our sons over
there" that our people are meeting
every requirement of the war.
In testimony whereof l have
hereunto set my hand and caused
the Great Seal of the State of Wis
consin TO be affixed. Done at the
Capitol in the city of Madison this
seventh day of June, in the year Of
our Lord. one thousand nine hun
dred and eighteen.
Emanuel l.. Philip,
