In the state by the North Dakota Coun-

been taken over by private producing

SIGN YOUR PLEDGE
AND MAKE GOOD

BY this time everyone In North Da-
kota should have signed pledge for
the very largest. amount of Thrift
Stamps which he can buy. 1t liz now
up to us. says the North Dakota Coun.
Gil Of Defense, to make up our minds
to keep that pledge. Nothing is easier
than saving by instalment. 1t Is this
fact that has built up our great Ameri.
can building and loan associations.
There Is hardly wage-earner In
North Dakota who cannot spare SIS per
month to invest in Savings Stamps.
Such an investment for the next SIX
months will buy more than seven Ger.
tificates, which in 1923 will mature mt
between S35 and $40. Many of us can
and should multiply that IS minimum
by ten and accumulate $500 worth Of
stamps before january /, 1919.

to visualise the course of dollar saw
ed from wasse and invested in gov
eminent securities" sdys President
Wilson. First. 1t goes to the govern
meat ns loan for the war; second,
1t Is expended by the government for
food, clothing and ammunition which
go directly to the gullant sailor or sold
Ter, whose fighting strength Is kept up
by the food, whose body is kept warm
by the clothing and whose enemy is hit
by the ammunition. 1t has not been
expended in the purchase of needless
food and clothing for the man ut home,
and is, therefore. released for the use
Of the soldier; 1t Is SAVED wealth
to the man at home and can be loaned
to his government ut Interest. with re-
sulting benefit to himself and his gov
ernment."
In the presidents statement lies the
kernel Of the war savings movement.
This line of work In behalf of the gov
eminent does not depend upon taking
money out of circulation. but upon the
saving of expenditures for non-essen-
tials and the Investment Of those saw
ings with the government for war uses.
The national authorities felt that In
asking the people of the country to
save an extra two billion dollars and
loan 1t to the nation 1t was asking but
a ssnall sacrifice compared to the suf-
ferings of the people Of allied coun-
tries In the war, whose interest in vic
tory Is no greater thnn ours. but whose
losses in the gigantic struggle can new
er be fully realized by us 80 far away.
This call means subscription of $50
per capita. or S13.OOO,OOO from the peo-
pie of North Dakota, that being the ra-
ito for the entire country, and double
the per capita quota asked in the vari-
Gus Liberty loans.
To accomplish this every man, wo-
man and child must be tied up to u
pledge to buy stamps every month for
the balance of the year. Every men,
,ber of q war savings society must real
lie the undertaking, ard get busy in
the great subscription rally which cnl-
inmates in North Dakota on June %.
Meetings will be laid on that date in
every school house, community, town
and city of the state, for 1t Is believed
that with a per capita wealth greater
than any other state, North Dakota can
easily oversubscribe her pledge on that
day End have the matter over with.
And In passing 1t may be snid that
war savings stamps earn about ~
per cent interest, are the safest invest
ment in the werld, never fluxmte in
value, and are payable January 1,
1923.
