BOURBON COUNTY MAKING AC'
TIVE THRIFT STAMP
CAMPAIGN.

lotment of Thrift Stamps is meeting
with much success already, despite
the fact that the working committees
are Just beginning to complete their
organizations preparatory to enter
ing into the work in earnest. Al
ready several thousand dollars worth
of the stamps have been sold to our
far-sighted business men who are
eager for the stamps as investments,
but as the sale of these stamps is
limited to not more than 1000
worth to each person, it will be seen
that everyone in the county must al
so buy literally to make the sale a
success.
Bourbon County is asked to buy
about $4,000 worth of Thrift
Stamps, which means that if every
person in Bourbon County would buy
$40 worth of stamps each, 1t would
just take up Bourbon's allotment.
There are some, of course, who
cannot buy this amount, while others
can, and no doubt will, increase their
purchases to many times this figure,
and the committees in charge of the
sale of the Thrift Stamps are only
asking that each person buy just as
many of the stamps as they can.
To purchasers Of Thrift Stamps the
u. S. Government has made the in
vestment most attractive, and an in
vestment that will not work hard
ship on anyone. The Government not
only pays the investors high rate
of interest on these Thrift Stamps
but also makes provisions to re-
deem the stamps, at any time. There
is no risk and no trouble for anyone,
the stamps are gilt-edged investments
because they can be cashed at any
time, should occasion demand. How
ever, it is needless to say that but
few people will ever desire to part
with an investment in Thrift Stamps
because interest drawn by them is
compounded quarterly, making them
a superior investment even to the
Liberty Loan Bonds.
Remember, you can start to buy
ing Thrift Stamps in as small
amounts as 25 cents. Get the saving
habit-buy Thrift Stamps until you
have acquired the limit. No better
investment in Government paper will
ever be obtainable.
The sales organization for the big
drive for the sale of Thrift Stamps
in Paris and Bourbon County is be-
ing completed, and already encour-
aging reports from the members of
the committees are being received by
Chairman S. E. Bedford
At a recent meeting of the Ad-
visory Committee appointed to work
with Chairman Bedford, a number of
committees were appointed to place
the sales of the Thrift Stamps with
merchants, business men in general,
through public and private schools,
Sunday Schools, etc., and this work is
being rapidly pushed.
The following gentlemen were ap-
pointed to place the Thrift Stamps
on sale through the Paris business
houses:
Messrs. D. C. Parrish, Walter
Payne, c. p. Cook, Edw. Prichard, A.
B. Hancock, and M. p. Collier
Mr.. Rudolph Davis was appointed
to place the Thrift Stamps on sale
through employees Of the L. & N. Rail-
road Company, in Paris.
Prof. A. L. Boatright was appoint
ed committee to push the sale of
Thrift Stamps through the Sunday
Schools in Paris.
Superintendent T. A. Hendricks of
the Paris Public School will direct the
introduction of the Thrift Stamps in
to the Paris Schools. Through the
generosity of the four banks of Paris
all the school children will be
furnished free a card with one rs
cent stamp attached.
The sale of Thrift Stamps to chill
dren in all the private schools in Paris
was placed in charge of Mrs. Fannie
belle Sutherland Already a large
number of stamps have been disposed
of to the school children, and they
are taking great interest and delight
in the project.
Mayor E. B. January was appoint
ed committee to confer with the
different fraternal societies in Paris
for the purpose of pushing the sales
OF Thrift Stamps among the lodge
members, and no doubt the sales of
these stamps will meet with general
favor in fraternal circles in Paris,
All of the above named committees
are designated as Chairmen, and
they have been instructed to name
such persons as members of their
respective committees as they deem
necessary.
A number of the business men in
Paris have been solicited by
members of the committees and all
subscribed literally for Thrift
Stamps to be sold by them at their
respective places of business. Among
