Baby Bonds For All "
In Offering war savings stamps---
"Baby Bonds''--to the people, the
government has, of course as a prime
consideration the raising Of 100000
900 needed for the prosecution Of the
war. Beyond this, however, according
to Robert W. Single, Territorial Di.
rector of War Savings IN Hawaii, there
is purpose Of equal Importance, that
Of discouraging wasteful spending
"If the people of the United States
continue to spend their money with the
same freedom they have in the past
and continue to demand the luxuries to
which they have been accustomed in
times of peace, there win not be
enough Of either labor or materials
available to take care of the govern
ment's war needs" says Mr.. Single,
writing from San Francisco. .-..,.
Postpone Pleasures
''By foregoing t1uxuries, or postpon-
ing their pleasures, as National Direc-
tor Frank A. Vanderlip has expressed
it, the people win be able to surrender
to the government the purchasing pow
er of q portion of their money. This
same money invested in War Savings
stamps will make, of the people both
savers and servers"
| The STAMPS are being offered in a
constantly increasing number of places.
One million agencies are to be estab.
lished throughout the United States
within the next thirty days. Califor-
mia will have $4,000 banks, stores and
Offices in which people may buy both
the Thrift and War Savings stamps,
Uncle Sam s new securities, and Ha.
/ wall will have several hundred such
| agencies.
Campaign Starts Here

mittee on war savings stamps started

the community.
