Robertson.
Mr.. Prescott, who has been identi-
fed with every movement tending to
further the interests of the country
in the present great crisis, presided.
After explaining minutely the pur-
pose Of the War Savings Stamp Is
sue, he called upon Hon. Alex. Rob

ner, explained the necessity of the
organization of the War Savings So
cieties.
The talks Of these two gentlemen

For the information OF those who
may not fully understand the purpose
of the War Savings Society, it may be
stated that their use is three-fold:
/. To awaken a realization among
the men. women and children of Amer
lea that in their hands lies the key to
the successful prosecution of the.War;
that they can render the most far
rtaching patriotic service through re-
framing from the purchase of unnec-
essary articles, confning themselves
to the use of such things as are nee
essary for health and efficiency, thus
rtleasing labor and materials for the
support Of our armies in the field;
that there is not enough labor in the
United States to produce the great va
riety OF articles needed to support our
