ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS BOUREON out IN FRONT

Than Between Superdreadnought
and Destroyers - Object of
Both Is to Finance War.

Louisville. Ky.LInstead of the Lib.

ings movement conflicting they really
supplement each other.
The Liberty Loan campaign and the
War Savings movement are no more
rivals than the superdreadnoughts and
the destroyers of our navy are rivals.
The Liberty Loan and War Savings
Stamps are two forms of the same
financial operation of the United
States Government. They were au.
thorized by the same vote of Congress
and are intended to supplement each
other. They are both of paramount
Importance to the financing of the war.
The Liberty Loan campaign is pri.
marily TO obtain the many billions of
dollars necessary toward paying the
expenses OF war and lending to our
allies.
The peculiar significance Of the
War Savings movement is to teach the
nation to save and to invest It's say.
ings in War Savings Stamps in order
that the Government may not merely
get money. but spend this money for
the support OF the army.
Successive Liberty Loan Bonds will
be sold in campaigns at intervals The
War Savings campaign will last
throughout the year-no doubt until
the war is over. 1t aims to develop
habits of thrift that shall make the
sales of stamps cumulative. And the
person Of limited means who invests
in a few War Savings Stamps does his
share as we'll as the weather man
who buys a quantity of Liberty Loan
bonds. Millions who could not AFFORD
to invest in Liberty bonds viii be able
and glad to help by investing in War
Savings Stamps. The two campaigns
are, in reality, but one-that of fnanc
ing for victory.

A COMPARISON OF INTEREST.

A great deal Of speculation and dis.
cussion have arisen in connection
with the comparative interest returns
OF the War Savings Stamps and the
sbOnds OF the Third Liberty Loan.
Now that the Treasury Department
has announced that the interest rate
on the new bonds is Az % a compare
son can be made.
A War Savings Stamp bought Jan
luary 1, 1918. If held until maturity
January 1, 1928, pays a total interest
OF lightweight cents, or seventeen arr
clio cents per annum. This is equiya
lent to rate of 4.2796 per annum
The interest rate increases each month
this year until in December the re-
turn develops as follows: That month
the stamp costs Si23 and has -four
years until maturity. The total inter
est received, If held until maturity, Is
seyenty-seyen cents. For one year il
amounts to nineteen and one-quarter
cents, which is at the rate of 4.55G5
per annum.
The Third Liberty Loan bonds will
not be convertible into subsequent is
sues, so you can assure the public that
the purchaser of War Savings Stamps
is not Disseminated against in the new
bond issue.
quote the following from Secretary
McAdOo: In the coming Liberty
Loan drive" said the Secretary, the
War Savings organizations should con.
tinue their efforts in the formation OF
War Savings societies, educational
work in the schools, and general thrift
propaganda. There are persons who
are unable to buy Liberty Loan bonds
and all these persons should be urged
TO buy War Savings Stamps"
You will note from this our cam.
paign is not to slacken. Let our Slo.
gan be:
Liberty Loan Bonds for the fellow
who can buy them, and War Savings
Stamps for everybody.

Liz Look at that yellow slip on 70

While the Liberty Loan campaign is
on there will be many millions of pa

to invest $50 or more. Their means
do not equal their ambition to help.

There is scarcely one of us who can
not become an owner of at least one

1926 ($1,000 maturity value) in War
Savings Stamps. If War Savings rep

SCHOOLS DO GOOD WORK

Louisville, Ky, April l, 1918.
Mr.. j. Z. Mantle, Secretary Jefferson
County, War Savings Committee,
Gil Columbia Building, Louisville,
Ky.
My dear Mr.. Mantle:
| have the honor to report to you
that the War Savings Societies in
Louisville public schools number 637,
A few are yet to be organized. We
have been in operation approximately
three weeks. and during that time
have sold Thrift Stamps and Baby
Bonds amounting to S11,9S400. ! be-
lieve that every school has done It's
best, and that this work will continue
at high speed throughout the year
The schools that have contributed
$4,000 or more are listed below:
Girls High School .........,...$2,62 S
George Rogers Clark School go. $50
Normal School ................ $50
George w. Morris School ...... 500
Longfellow School ............ $40
We feel that special concentrations
are due to the Girls High School with
its amount totaling $2,62S, and TO the
George Rogers Clark School which
leads the elementary schools of the
city with a total OF $3.50. II is true
that many of the smaller schools may
have done quite as well if we con
slider the average amount sold. Fol-
the months of April we shall have
computed the average amount sold on
the basis of the average number be
longing. This will make fair com
parison between all schools.
Yours truly,
o. l.. REID,
Superintendent.

The week Of song was celebrated
here under the auspices Of the Wom-
ans Civic club It opened on Sun
day night, the Eth, with union
service at the M. E. church. The
evening was devoted to a study of
sacred music, under the leadership
OF Rev. Mr.. Monkman, the efficient
pastor of tho NJ. 81 church.
Monday evening was devoted to
juvenile music under the direction Of
Beatrice Mccullough, one Of our
school teachers.
Geo w. Neafie conducted the folk
songs ON Tuesday evening. This
program was perhaps more inter
est1ng than many others for songs
like, ''Old Kentucky Home" Land Of
the Lea1," BLUE Bells Of Scotland"
wearing Of the Green" "Old Folka
at Home" were sung as solos, quar-
tets, and who does not like the dear
"old songs?'
The Wednesday evening program
was under the supervision of Mrs. J.
w. Rinabarger and given to instru-
mental music Orchestra, violin and
clarinet solos, piano duets, made an
evening of rare enjoyment.
Thursday night Miss Mabel Saund
erson supervised composers even
ing. Miss Saunderson Is a graduate
of the Chicago school OF music, and
showed herself thoroughly convers-
ant with the composers, past and
present.
Friday night was the crowning
event Of the week This program was
a patriotic one and was under the
direction Of the Superintendent of
Schools Professor Stokes. Every
song sung, every sentiment expressed
contained its kernel OF patriotism.
1Ancoln's Gettysburg address was
given by Hollis Campbell, to show
how the sentiment applies to the sit
uation today.
An address given by Joe Newbold
from speech by Roosevelt, was an
other timely and appropriate selec-
ton
A reading given by Lucille Beer
was another feature worthy of men
ton. It was a quotation from Ten

prophetic vision Of today's actual oc-
cu1rences. All the purposes OF the

furnishing a week of splendid enter
