EV VERYONE MAY help
Vireinians Urged to Purchase War
Savings Stamps and Thus Aid in
Fighting the Prussian Beasts.

"Virginians, as we'll as all Ameri
can men, women and children, shoult
realize that they are the ones tn;
government depends upon to win The
war, and they can render the mos1
far-reaching patriotic service througt
self-denial." This s:a!ement wa:
made by Eugene R. Jones, State Di'
rector OF War Savings Societies, n
response to a question of how Vir,
einians could best serve their country
if not among those who are with the
land or sea forces.
"Those who refrain from the pur'
chase Of essentials and contine
their expenditures to the necessities
Of life, will serve as well as the men
at the front, on ships and in the
camps" Mr.. Jones continued. 'Ihere
is not enough labor in the United
States 20 produce the great variety u
articles needed to supply our fighting
men and at the same time produce the
Injuries and comforts which were en-
joycd by US before the war. To hight
On to victory over the Prusslan beast
our soldiers and sailors must have
supplies. Decrease the demand for
unnecessary articles and you will ne
adding to the labor engaged IN the
production of war material. Increase
the demand for unnecessary articles
and you will be depicting the ranks ot
labor engaged in the production OF
war material. To purchase luxurles
at this times is selfish extravaganza
and extravaganza at this critical per-
iod Of the nations and the worlds his
tory is treason.
Through the medium of Thrift
Stamps and War Savings Stamps the
government has placed at the disposal
of all pocketbooks an investment
which has no superior from the stand
point of security. Any banker will
support me in the statement that
they are the best investments IN the
world.
"To bring the man, the woman or
the child into close touch with~the
nationwide thrift movement war
Savings Societies have been formed
and others are now in the process OF
organization. These societies are CT
real value to the members, because
lhey serve not only to stimulate prac-
tical patriotism but to spread the Cos
mel of thrift and economy. They
teach the lesson of serving one corn-
try while helping oneself. War Saw
ings Society members pledge them
selves to support the government ~
refaining from unnecessary expen-
ditures, by practicing systematic saw
ing and by inducing others to become
members of the society with which
they are affiliated. I will be glad to
furnish all information concerning
War Savings Societies, how organized
and conducted" Mr.. Jones may ne
reached at the headquarters Of the
National War Savings Committee "

mond.
Mr.. Jones was recently appointed
State Director Of War Savings Socle-
tics by Col. Thomas B. McAdams'
State. Director of the Virginia war
Savings Committee, by authority OF
Secretary of the Treasury William "

made it possible for Virginians to bay
