STATE COMMITTEE
ON WAR SAVINGS
TO MEET JAN. 5
State Chairman II as Called
Meeting of Various County
Heads in Order to Better
Organize the Work.

State Director Harry r. 'Tritele of the
Arizona War Savings committee has
called a meeting Of all county chair
men TO convene in Phoenix, January
3. 1918. II is the idea Of M Tritele
that the state organization will be
mere closely cemented together by
getting in personal touch with the
chairmen in the several counties of
the state.
Owing to the congestion in the gov
eminent printing office at Washing
ton and the other departments at the
nations capital. it was difficult for
the national war savings committee
to give to the various states all the
information necessary for the cam
paign. but practically all the necessary
data has now arrived and the state
organization is now in a position to
get down to work in earnest.
One particular phase Of the cam
paign that will be given earnest atten-
ton at the meeting of the county
chairmen. will be the plans for the
education of the school children OF
Arizona in the thrift movement, out
lined by the government at Washing
ton II is realized that by interesting
the children the older members OK
the family will be reached apd also
interested in the campaign of thrift.

committees. who are expected to re
spond TO the call issued by Mr.. Tritele
and attend the meeting in Phoenix on

During his trip east Mr. TritIe had
the pleasure OF hearing Frank A Van
derlip speak at a banquet at st.
Louis, given in his honor by the bank
ers of Missouri. There were over 500
persons present and in speaking of the
occasion this morning Mr.. Tritle said
that the reception given Mr.. Wander
lips words and the expressions OF es-
teen OF the other orators showed that
the people OF Missouri honor and have
wonderful confidence in Mr.. Wander
lip.
The following paragraphs from Mr..
Nsnderlip's speech were particularly
well received:
Il believe that the philosophy that
is back of the war savings movement
warrants one in characterizing il as
one OF the most promising attempts
to bring home TO every individual his
personal responsibility TO society for
careful living and prudent expenditure.
The president of the United States
has well said that one of the great by
products OF the war which Will do
much towards recompensing US for its
awful costs will be the permanent i'm
press which this war savings cam
paign will make on our national
character
TO teach thrift merely as a desir-
able feature is extremely difficult.
We have an opportunity now for mal,-
ing IN a most obvious way a conneC-
ton between the principles of thrift
and the discharge OF our patriotic
duty ss citizens. and We have. there
fore. an uneNampled opportunity of
getting the attention of almost the en-
-
subject subject which is made up
of personal habits of considering small
expenditures. habits that lead TO per
sonsl sacrifices of desires in exchange
for future opportunities of far greater
value. However long the war may
last, and however great may be its
cost, every dollar of that cost can be
recompensed il these lessons of thrift
can be taught thoroughly to all oil us
I'VE hope to raise $4,000. 600. 900
