WAR SAVINGS STAMPS VITAL
 FAGT0R IN WAR, SAYS M'ADOO

We have great deal of money to raise. and 1t cannot be raised by nankcrs alone says William c. Me Adoo.
 "Thc banks of this country have not resources to sustain Americas needs m this war and enable America to extend Co our allies who are fighting with us the essential aid which they must have to enable them to go on with the war.
 'Thc rich of this country alone can not do it The men of this country alone cannot do it. The women of this country alone cannot do it.
 But all of us, the people of the United States. by disregarding partis- anship forgetting selfish interest, thinking only of the supremacy of right and determined to vindicate the majesty of our ideals and to secure the safety of America and civilization, can do this great and splendid piece of work.
 Our business these days is to think only in terms of America; to forget self, Co forget ambition, to for get partisanship. to forget everything except right and justice and triumph for Americas cause and the suppres- sion forever of those infamous things which have cast civilization itself into darkness these last three hor- rihle years.
 Every man, woman and child in this country who wants 10 serve can serve and they can serve in a very simple and effective way. Every 25 cents invested in war savings stamps is a loan to your government and every % cents will do something to help.'
 Presidents 70. K.'d"
 Urging all the citizens of the United States to become war savers, Presi- dent Woodrow Wilson recently issued the following patriotic appeal:
 "G suppose not many by-products will come out of the war, but If this country can learn something about saving out of the war, it will be worth the cost of the war; l mean the lit- or1l cost of it. in money and re- sources. I suppose we have several times over wasted more than We are now about to spend. We have not known that there was any limit to our resources; we are now finding out that there mGy be if we are not careful
 "One of the most interesting things To me about the recent loans that we have floated, is the extraordinarily large number of persons who have invested. The number of investors in securities before these loans were made, was comparatively small, re- marlSably small. considering our pop ulation and it's wealth, and now it has swelled to the millions-to almost une-tenth. I believe. of the population of the country. That is an extra ordinary circumstance and it may have some very fortunate results.
 But the thing that you are under taking Is more intensive and, in a sense. more important still. It is Inc matter of small savings, tho de- tailed thought of the matter of pre- yonting waste and managing some SOTO of accumulation from day to day, that will fall to you: and want Co say that l. for one, warmly ap- preciate the number of volunteers of capacity and experience who are com- ing to your assistance at this time and doing things as interesting and important as this"
 in the effort to organize war savings societies. among those present was one who has a son in the war. The day of the meeting was very cold and there was some discussion in the family as Co the fathers coming when the soldiers little brother, hear ing the talk. quietly asked: "Will it help Charlie?" The father came.
 One Of the great lessons to be learned from this war Is that Charlie is our brother He is our big brother for he can fight and we can't If he is willing Co fight, surely we are willing to hep. A 25-cent thrift stamp buys q sodier a dinner. Who wouldn't give soldier dinner. And yet our government will repay us with four per cent interest compounded quarterly. When the boys come back can we look them in the eyes as we meet them and say: T did al could for you?' Remember: Wher
