THE government has announced
June % as "war savings day" to
stimulate the sale of thrift stamps.
1t needs stimulating. There is hard
ly a state that is not behind in its
per capita purchase of "baby bonds.
The people of Idaho are expected to
buy to the amount 0f $500, 900 this
year, but purchases thus far have
reached one million dollars-less
Than IL per cent-and more than 40
per cent of the year gone. From now
on more boosting is needed by the
business concerns of the state, county
or town, of Rathdrum. The treas
ury department recognizes that it is
unfair to expect the newspaper to d.
all the advertising, and has therefore
provided way by which the burden
may be distributed among the other
business concerns and at the same
time thus bring added weight and in
nuence to the support Of the thrift
campaign. An expense Of $2.4O will
enable any Rathdrum business firm
to join 10 appealing TO the people to
invest In war savings. Besides buy
Ing liberty bonds and giving to the
Red Cross and Y. M. G. A, ETC.,
people are expected to invest some
thing In war savings stamps. The
difference is that while these other |
drives last only a week or two the
war savings drive lasts all the year
and therefore needs constant agita-
tion.
