! The Liberty Loan and War
Savings Stamps are two forms
Iof the same financial operation
lof the United States government.
They were authorized by the
same vote of Congress and are
INTENDED to supplement each
other. They are both of para
mount Importance to the fnanc-
ling of the war. The Liberty Loan
campaign is primarily to obtain
the many billions of dollars ne
cessary toward paying the ex-
Ipenses of war and lending to our
IAllies.
| Rev. Dan Kelly, evangelist of
the Methodist church, arrived in
Brandon last week, and has
been conducting a series of meet
Iings at the Methodist church,
Iservices occurring at II o'clock
lin the mornings and $50 at
might. Large crowds have been
attending, and much interest
manifested. Mr.. Kelly is one of
the strongest preachers Of the
Estate, and his sermons have
great effect upon the people. A
lgenuine revival of religion has
RESULTED from his efforts in Bran
idon, and we all feel better by
Having had him with us. The
Injecting will close tonight.
| Successive Liberty Loan Bonds
Twill be sold in campaign at inter
Ivals. The War Savings campaign
Twill last throughout the year
Inc doubt until the war is over.
| It aims at developing habits of
thrift that shall make the sales
lstamps cumulative. And the
lperson of limited means who in
Vests in a few War Savings
lStamps does his share as we'll as
the weather. man who buys a
Iquanity of Liberty Bonds. Mill
lions who could not afford to in
Ivest in Liberty Loan Bonds will
lbe able and glad to help by in
vesting in War Savings Stamps.
The two campaigns are in reality,
but one-that Of financing for
Victory.
The patriotism Of the members
of the board of supervisors
makes possible the offer of SIS
prize to the boy or girl under 16
lyears of age in each of the five
beats of the county selling Lib
Ierty Bonds to the greatest num-
Iber of people. Each member of
1.-The board assumed the response
Ibility of the amount for his re-
lspective beat. We certainly
Hope that this will prove an in
Icentive to stir the patriotism Of
our country boys and girls and
Iput them to work today, not only
for the sake of winning a prize,
but for the glory of rendering
Isome service to our country.

Had you considered the fact
that very probably War Savings
IStamps will be worth, in purch-
asing power, five years from to-
day, about two for one? Money
lis now worth not over 81 IL in
| the collar in purchasing power
against ten years ago. Five
years hence it will very probably
| be north 100 cents in the dollar,
and your 100000 baby bonds
