WIIY TEIE SWINGS PLEDGE?

WHY HE SAVINGS PLAlJu +
Curing the present intensive war
savings campaign we are asked By
the president and by Secretary Nc
Adoo to pledge ourselves to save and
with our savings to buy at definite
times specific amount of war saw
ings stamps. Why should we be call
ed upon to do this and why should be
do it?
We are called upon to do it because,
as President Wilson says, this is a
war of nations, not of armies, and ev-
eryone in the land must do his share.
So far more than 100000 men have
gone into the army and 100000 more
are to join before August 1. These
100000 men give themselves as their
donation to the war. The remaining
81 100000 people left at home must
give something else as their share.
This savings pledge gives the stay-
at-homes an opportunity for service.
We are asked to pledge ourselves to
save and econonnize, to use labor and
materials only necessity demands,
and to invest our savings in war saw
ings stamps.
The government asks us to do this
because the amount of labor and ma
teria's in the country is limited; there
is not enough of either to permit us
to use it in the same free way as we
did in peace times and at the same
time to leave enough in the markets
for the use of the government. 1t is
purely question Of supply and de-
mand. If we use the supply the gov
eminent does not have it for war
needs. And the smaller the amount
the government has for use the longer
will the war last. That is the primary
reason for the savings campaign.
i But there is another side to the
question The government asks us to
pledge ourselves to save to help win
the war. It. does not ask us to give it
anything except our cooperation. In
return for our help we receive a gov
eminent security which pays us a
good rate of interest
If we do as the government asks,
and as we should. this. then, will be
the result: a. We shall buy only
those things -necessarv to maintain us
in the best of health and spirits; (2)
by refraining from buying unneces-
sary things we shall leave in the mar
kets for government use greater
supply of labor and material with
which to win a quicker victory; (3) by
not frittering our money away on
things that do not make for efficiency
we shall keep ourselves in better
health and increase our powers of pro-
duction; az by investing our SAVINGS
in war savings stamps we shall be
putting aside for those days which in
evitably come, if we live long enough
the means to greater happiness.
| When SO much can be accomplished
by joining in this war savings cam
paign, why should we not do it.?

One of the prettiest peaches ever
grown in the section surrounding Wall
Springs will be taken north tonight by
1,1z.. Edward Cheyney. He spotted this
pesa.cil in the bloom and came back for
it at the proper time-lucky dog! But
then he's working for Uncle Sam, and
there's nothing too good for the boys
in the trenches or munition plants.

Most people in the country, despite
tie fact that we are at war, are max

for our own future.
