STAMP SALE
FRIDAY, JUNE 1WEMTy.EIGAT
Great Opportunity Offered to Help
Win the War BY Signing the Pledge
in Response to Wishes Of Our Leader
In Great Struggle for Democracy.

The President Of the United States
has called upon the loyal men and
women of America to pledge them
selves to save for victory. He has
issued an earnest appeal to all Amer
leans to buy War Savings Stamps a.
regularly as possible, investing in this
form of security the money saved
through avoiding needless expendi
lures.
The 2Sth of June ends this special
period Of enlistment in the greatest
volunteer army of production and saw
ing here at home. MAY THERE BE
NONE UNENLISTED ON THAT
DAY"
What loyal American will refuse to
respond to this appeal issued by the
executive head OF this nation and the
commander-in-ch chief Of our armed
forces?
We have the opportunity to enlist
In this volunteer army of production
and saving" In Germany it is mat.
ter OF compulsion. The iron hand OF
the German autocracy forces 1t harshly
upon the German people, depriving
them not merely of luxuries, but Of the
barest necessities OF life. We are ask
ed in America to voluntarily postpone
our needless luxuries so that our sol
diers and sailors may not lack theiI
necessary equipment What the Ger
man nation does under rigid compul
sion. certainly Americans will do in q
mild way voluntarily II is unthink
able that there is a man, woman OF
child in America who will refuse tc
sign the pledge 10 save and to ipves
a portion of the savings in War Saw
ings Stamps.
We must respond to the President!
solemn appeal-we must sign thu
pledges, not because we feel forced TO
but because il is an opportunity for u.
TO help win the war. The pledges
should be signed cheerfully, willingly
J gratefully
When the war is over and the perio,
OF readjustment sets in, then will tn
wisdom and the soundness of the Wa
Savings movement become strikingl,
apparent to all There is now NOR,
money In circulation than ever befor,
in the history of the world, and thi
condition is likely TO prevail after th
war is over But It is not the natiol
which has merely money that will hav,
the advantage in the coming days o
reconstruction, but rather the nation
which has the most available supply o
goods and material of all kinds.
When an individual invests in Wa
Savings Stamps he is not merely saw
ing money. He is saving, In reality
the material which he would otherwis,
have bought Il is not lack OF none,
that worries Germany-it Is the lack o
necessary materials. A government
can practically create money, but Il
can not create material.
When the war is over It is predicted
that all nations will compete in South
American and Oriental trade. II
America-at present the nation OF
greatest esources-conserve her re
sources--she will naturally be in DO
sition after the war to dominate inter
national trade and maintain the ma
tional prosperity. But II we continue
TO squander goods at the same time
that We double our demands by sup.
plying the Government for war pur.
poses, We are wasting labor and mate.
rial OF which we will be in sore need
after the war.
