 AH HIS NEWEST PLAN of Uncle
 Sam to raise money among his
 people to finance the. war, ac- - cording to authorization of Eongress, calls for the issue of $2,0OO,- Each of these certificates has place Or pasting on it twenty $500 war avings stamps; and each stamp bears
 per cent. interest from the date of Is attachment to the certificate. So, today you purchased twenty war avings stamps for $S2.40, in five Tears they would bring you in S10O.
 The following should be noticed With particular interest: You may burchase a war savings stamp any lime during the month of December, Re17, and January, 1918, for S4.12. kn January, 1919. the certificate stamp
 Is worth $4.24; January 1, 1920. it is worth $4.36; on the same date in 1921, it's value is $4.4S; twelve months
 later, it is worth $4.T0; and on Janu- kry 1, 1923, which is five years after tnG luVCotilOAe, %l WI VI Abo ycaA III %, its face value.
 Bear in mind also that there is an additional charge of 1 cent added each month to the cost of each stamp. Eor example, if you buy $500 stamp prior to the last day of JanuaSy, 1918, ft will cost you $4.12; and if you buy bt in February it will cost s4.13: in March s414 and so on until the end l of the year 1918.
 l Begin With A Modest Quarter. But Uncle Sam realizes full well &that not every one can afford to pay SAP TOT a stamp to paste in his war savings certificate card; so he has also |issued 25-cent thrift stamp and a Thrift card. on which the thrift stamps can be pasted, and then when the patriotic American has accumulated I$4.O0 worth of these thrift stamps he may take his card to any post office, l bank, trust company or other au- {thorized agency and, on payment of Ithe additional number of cents, regG- Hated by the month in which they are purchased, he exchanges his thrif. card with it's sixteen 25-cent stamps aGsea for $500 war savings stamr

 Food Survey Act Has Teeth.
 To guard against any food handlers being missed by failure to include them in the mailing list, the bureau of markets has sent supplies of schedules to it's agents throughout the country for distribution. and at the same time has announced that all individuals and , concerns handling foods who do not receive schedules through the mails by January will be expected to ap- ply to the local agencies for copies Congress put teeth in the act author izing the making of food survey by providing that persons wilfully failing to make returns when called upon, or wilfully making inrorrect returns, will be subjected to a fine of not more than $1,000, or Imprisonment for not more than one year. The bureau of markets, however, is counting on receiving the willing cooperation of all persons in nossession of foodstuffs who should make reports, and hopes that there will be very few cases in which it will | be necessary to make use of the laws teeth.
 ] Within a few days, the first of the more than three'qIartcrs of a million schedules will begin pouring back to Washington, bearing the information which congress was willing to spend S60O,000 to obtain. In Washington, the schedules will be tabulatad as promptly as possible by staff Of spe- cial clerks. When information on the last of the hundred or more foods un- der investigation have been tabulatad, Uncle Sam can apply consumption fig ures, obtained from other investiga- tions, and find approximately what his food balance is from time to time. Then he can take steps to ward off any threatened shortage, can share his store ntelligently with the allies, and can, in short, consider with his eyes open, all problems of his commissary department, Equally as important as caring for his existing stocks of food
 he can plan wisely production fol years to come ahead, sufficient to fill his own wants and to supplement the
 war-deplete2 output of his companions | in arms.
