HAfAiONAL WAR SAVINGS DAY
MUST BE MADE BIG SUCCESS

The National War Savings Com
mittee, which is carrying on, through
It's State and local committees. a Ma
tlon-Wide campaign to get all the
people on or before June % to pledge
themselves to save to the utmost Of
their ability and to buy War Savings
Stamps with their savings, has given
out the following statement:
Those Of US who remain ut home
while others do the fighting have an
eYer-lncreasing number of opportuni-
ties to do definite and highly impor-
tart work for our country. We wish
to do this work as an expression of the
gratitude We feel in beng priviledeed
to continue at our usual tasks. to en-
10y the loving companionship of our
families, to meet freely with our
friends and neighbors, to enjoy all the
security of life and most of the pleas
ures and the economic privileges of
peace times while other men, who
have had to pct aside all these things,
are fighting our battles for US on the
sacred soil of France and on the high
seas.
Our new opportunity to serve
comes as a result of designating June
% as National War Savings Day,
day on which all men and women and
children of sufficient years to appre-
ciate the days significance are called
upon to pledge themselves to save to
the utmost of their ability and to
conserve all possible labor and ma
terials for the Government, and to
buy War Savings Stamps with their
savings. Our part is to do every
thing possible to make this day stand
out among the great days of this per-
iod of the war
Gould any of US be asked to do less
than this? Could any one of US re-
fuse to do so little thing to win
war for the worlds freedom? Could
any one of US put aside this plea for
saving while all Europe is crying out
in its agony to be released from the
clutches of the monster that Is be-
fouling all it touches? Could we re-
fuse so simple a thing and at TIE
anne time ask ether men 70 give their
lives that on" own preeious lives be
spared and our firesides be kept safe
I'm the te 9rs of the Hun?
Our duty is clear. our privilege is
great, our sacrifice is little, cur work
is important.
National War Savings Day is TO
be the great rallying day on VI n
everyone in our country IS expected to
pledge himself or herself to save and
economic. This saving and eeono-
MIXING will first of all leave in the
market a greater supply Of labor and
materials for the use of the Govern
ment with which to fight the war
And then the money savings of the
individuals are to be invested in War
Savings Stamps.
What the Government asks US to
do is to pledge ourselves to buy at
definite periods with our savings
snecific amoust of War Savings
Stamps. The thing to be accomplish
ed is to get subscriptions which VIII
take care during the balance OF the
present wear of the unsold portion of
81 900 900 900 of War Savings Stamps
authorized bv the Congress to be
sold during 1918.
when one stops to think OF the
matter. it is really small thing 10
raise $4,000 100000 in country OF
more than 10O00O,000 people. If ev-
ervone would do his share, it would be
necessary for each person to sub
scribe TO only $40 worth of stamps.
The duty of US at home is to see to
If that the entire amount is subscrlo-
Cd We must work to that end. We
must add to our already great army
Of war savers. We must make more
sacrifices ourselves and urge sacrl-
fees upon others. National War Saw
