The War Saving Stamp is the
greatest investment on earth. 1t
is interest bearing currency.
Only ten days notice is required
to turn your stamps into money
with accrued interest at any post
office or bank. Governor j. A.
A. Burnquist has issued a procla-
nation urging the people to in
vest in the stamps. In the proc
lamation he says: Minnesota s
quota of the War Saving Stamp
sale is $47, 100000. So far the
people Of our state have paid for
or pledged but a small part of
this sum. We have far exceeded
our quota in our subscriptions to
Liberty Bonds, the Red Cross and
other war funds, and it is to be
hoped that we will not fail to do
our share in the purchase Of
War Saving Stamps.
In other columns of this paper
will be found advertisements by
patriotic business people calling
to the w. S. S. campaign
now on. These business firms see
in the plan one of the best saving
campaigns ever inaugurated.
Read the ads. and when the COM
mittee from your district calls, be
to state your quota and
sign the pledge card. While we
cannot all fight in the battle line,
we can do our share here at home
and back up the boys at the front.
The committees named are as
follows and the districts to be
canvassed will be given to each
chairman before the drive. A
meeting of all the committees will
be held Monday evening.
