which to end the war, the practice OF
individual thrift Is a patriotic duty
and necessity.
"I appeal to all who now own
Liberty bonds or war savings stamps
to continue to practice economy and
thrift and TO appeal to all who do not
own government securities to do like
wise and purchase them to the extent
Of their means. The man who buys
government securities transfers the
purchasing power OF his money TO
the United States government until
after this var, and to that same de-
gree does not buy N competition with
the government.
~ earnestly appeal to every man,
woman and child to pledge Them
selves on or before the 23th Of June
to save constantly and TO buy as regE-
larly as possible the securities Of tho
government; and to do this as far as
possible through membership in war
savings societies. The twenty-eighth
