sacrifice is too great for this stamp
oday. 1t is your cartridge answer.
Space seven. Many captured Brit
ish soldiers have been crucified. What
a cody sacrifice for the freedom of
.e world. Your answer to the beasts
who drove those spikes is a stamp
md a cartridge.
Space eight. The old Government
Thrift Card said all fortunes have
their foundations laid in thrift. Here
is our incentive to acton. The Ger
man air raiders are still bombing de-
fenseless cities and killing children.
They will keep it up until your car
tridges clean them up
Space nine. Old text: "Many a
mickle makes a muckle." Revised
version: Another torpedoed ship, and
the women and children were shelled
in open lifeboats. Quick your answr!
Space ten. Saving creates indie
pendence. Do you know any nuns,
sacrifices have won the admiration
of the civilized world. The German
troops have outraged scores of them.
Your stamp is needed to shoot those
arch fiends into eternity.
Space eleven. Thrift begins with
little savings. True; but your stamp
goes in more promptly when you
know that the Turks, under German
officers, recently murdered $50 edu-
Gated Armenians with axes, and were
commended for saving thir cartridg-
es. Don't save yours. A stamp is
one more on the way.
Space twelve. Money placed at in
terest works day and night. Forget
it. Contagious diseases deliberately
planted by the Germans in their pri-
son camps are working day and night.
Your stamp must go into this book
every day.
Space thirteen. Save and have.
That doesn't express the wild enthus-
iasm with which we affix this stamp.
Save that factory. Remember the
your home. Cost some good Ameri-
can lives. Didn't it? Put your car
fridge into the vitals of that outlaw
nation.
Space fourteen. Great oaks from
| little acorns grow. We are more in
terested in stopping the growth of a
ltion that viii place non-cOmbatant
prisoners on the deck of a submarine,
steam well out of the floating wreck
age, and then submerge leavings
those poor prisoners to their cold,
watery graves.
Space fifteen. Waste not, want
not. Waste no time getting your
stamp cartridge answer to the Hohen-
zolern gang that bombed that French
church on Good Friday and Killed It's
non-combatant worshippers-
Space sixteen. Learn economy and
start on the road to success. Rather
learn more and more of the hideous
crimes of that nation gone mad. This
road to German success is lined with
| those who have felt their vicious
shock and suffered from their in
human acts. Put this stamp In place,
and, with full realization of what Is
| at stake, start a new card tomorrow.
And now your Thrift Book is full.
s a great little system for your bit
each day, but it's too slow for many
| IF US who can come through with the
| rice of sixteen Thrift Stamps much
oftener than once every sixteen days,
You who can do that, buy SIS W. S.
S. certificate at a time. With every
purchase, picture an officer in you
for months for the work at hand. He
gladly gave up job at five times the
Governments salary. He went ove1
the top ahead of his men, not behind
them. In the desperate fight thai
/ followed he became possessed of g
soldiers Springfield, and he put some
r2erican-made cold steel where i
belonged a number of times before
bursting shrapnel tore his cheek oper
and ripped that fine young hand t.
bloody bits. Picture him staggering
TO the rear, a rough toruniquet hold
ing his life, blood back. It's time We
thought OF war as it is. Do you wan
that boy to go under the operation
ahead of him without the merciful IN
fluence Of anethetic? Your War Siv
ings Certificate viii save him from thu
pain of that terrible ordeal. Think i
over, and loosen up more frequently
As we thinks OF these things per
sonal denial seems such a it'll
thing. Some OF Us with steady In
comes don't want TO hand up mer
.elts full Of cartridges. We want t.
hang UP strips OF machine gun am
munition. 10 do that we leave tn
stamp class and buy a Liberty Bond
One bond win furnish the machin
gun rattIs that viii thin the ranks O
battle-mad: Prussian troops sweepin,
forward IN their mad rush to Kill on
boys In Khaki.
