HERE'S HOW

There are many persons who
hxya an uncomfortable feeling
khat they are not helping the
nation In this time OF crisis.
They can not for various rea'
sons enter the military or naval
service Of the country, or do
other work that would help the
government in prosecuting the
war against the Huns, and yet
they want to help. There is a
solution to this problem which
troubles many earnest patriots.
Those who invest in war saw
tnss and war thrift stamps are
actively aiding the government.
They are placing at the disposal
of the government not merely
money, but the goods and ser
vices that the money can buy
and use in properly supplying
and equippins our army and
navy. Joining a War Savings
Socitey makes saving easy. The
xovsrnment pays interest At tho
, rate OF 4 per cent, per ennum,

SEVEN REASONS FOR
SAVINGS.

There are seven good reasons
Why the government has issued
War Savings Stamps:
/. Save for your country's
sake, because it is now spending
millions 4 day, and must find
most Of the money out OF saw
iags.
2. Save for your eva sake,
because work and wages are
plentiful and, while prices are
hirh now, a dollar viii buy more
after the war.
3. Save because, when you
spend, you make other people
work for you, and the work OF
everyone is needed now to win
the war.
4. Save because, by saving, yeu
make things cheaper for every
one, especially for those who are
poorer than you.
s. Save because, by going
without you relieve the strain
On ships, docks, and railways,
and make transport cheaper and
quicker.
s. Save because, by saving,
you set IN example that makes
4 easier for the next man TO
save. A saving nation fs an
earning nation.
Z. Save because every time
you save you help twice, first
when you don't spend, and again
when you lend TO the nation.

Game fish eggs for Matching
purposes will be brought over to

cent.
Those who have failed to get

better make application at once,
