The two billion dollars that the Gov
eminent expects to raise through the
sale OF war stamps is "a mans job, II
railroad train should be one second late
for every dollar it would be siXty-four
years behind its schedule. If the people
of the United States try to help the
government in buying thrift stamps to
the amount OF 00OO00,00000 we shall
have to buy every second from now UNI
til January LIST, 1919 You see it cant
be done by buying thrift stamps alone,
But we must have the S2,000OJO 10000
It's A mans job. The boys and girls
have done wonders They have bought
from their own funds hundreds OF thou
sands of dollars of the little thrift
stamps, But they must be helped by
the men and women if this job goes
over, and in big way, by the purchase
of war stamps.
The people of Nebraska subscribed
their allotment of $1,000 per capita in
one day. 1t was done by the Nebraska
Plan" The Nebraska plan has arrived
in Vermont and in every other State in
the Union. June 2Sth is the day the
United States will pledge $1,000 00O,000,-
20 for War Savings Stamps. A month
was taken to get S4,000,000, 10000 sub
sCribed for the Third Liberty Loan
Half that sum will be subscribed in one
daytime 2Sth A nation will take off
its coat Friday morning June 2Sth and
do nothing else for a whole day but
buy and sell and give pledges to buy
War Savings Stamps, In many towns
two or three days before the 2Sth will
be devoted to getting pledges, 1t will
be a time of conservation to a great
principle as well as of rolling up funds
for the use of our government in prose-
cutting the war,
1t has taken us over year to realize
that it is mans job "Over There.
And now we know that it is a mans
job over here. Don't cry out against
the multiplication of subscriptions and
contributions and prohibitions. Did
you ever stop to think that the boys
cover There" can't stop after they fight
one battle and take their own time to
fight the next one? It's life and blood
and wounds "Over There; it's sordid
dollars and cents over here. Take your
chioce; It's taxes one month, Red Cross
the next, Liberty Bonds the next, YIN.
CA. the next and K, c. subscriptions
the next. That's all right. cover There"
it is gas today, shrapnel tomorrow, ma
chine gun fire day after tomorrow and
He'll every night. And our boys do not
get IA per cent interest on their in
vestment of life and limb. Wouldn't
you like them to know that Vermont |
did not hesitate to invest money while
they invested their lives?
Look upon the War Savings Stamps
as mans job just as you looked upon
the Third Liberty Bond. Buy them to-
day and make June Is easier for those
who are working to get pledges for the
balance of Vermont's quota of $780,
10000
