War Savings Campaign Opens;
Buy Thrift and Saving Stamps

January 1, 1928, he may SO notify any
Ip~ostofice, and ten days thereafter his
stamps will be redeemed at their face
interest during lifetime the purchaser
has held them, so that these thrift
stamps are convertible into cash at
any time.
This policy has been adopted to en-
able small investors to participate in
governmental loans, in order that
people who do not feel able to buy a
Liberty bond may invest in such
amounts as they may be able. If an
investor who buys a thrift@stamp with
a view to getting 16 eventually but
finds himself unable to continue to
purchase one now and then, those
which he has already accumulated are
convertible into cash.
The chief point, however, is to en-
list as many people as possible in
the thrift stamps and the war saw
ings propositions, thus serving a dou-
BILE purpose: enabling them to help
the government by lending 1t their
money for war purposes and at the
same time accumulate savings upon a
basis of 4 per cent compounded every
ninety days.
Auxiliary societies will be organized
throughout the county. Every school
will be asked to cooperate. There is
no conpulsion about it, no wish to
force people Of small means to in
vest, no inclination to make people
feel that their patriotism Is in ques.

but rather the policy is put forth to

of saving among all classes, while

A War Savings association was orr
gained in this city last Friday in
the basement of the public library.
C. r. Pierson was elected president
~ X OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
IN brief, the object Of the society
is to encourage Investments in war
savings and in what + known as
thrift stamps, by means OF which the
federal government hopes to raise a
fund of approximately two billion dol
lars.
About twenty-five Or thirty of the
business houses of the city purchased
stamps of both kinds for sale over
their counters-that is to say, they
will have these stamps for sale when
ever a customer indicates g desire to
buy one or mor
The principle involved may be stat
ed, briefly, as follows: stamps in de-
nominations of 25 cents each may be
purchased at any time. The purchas-
er is furnished with a card on which
are Is spaces to which the z5c stamps
are Intended to be pasted. AS a pur-
chaser a stamp, he pastes 1t
on one OF the spaces. When he has
AZ of these, he may take them to n
bank or postoface, Or to the retail
merchants from which he purchased
them. and by paying u cents this
month, Is cents next month, and SO
on, one cent additional for each month
he is given what may be called q var
savings bond, which via be redeemed
~ the government on January II
1928, at $500. This gives the pur-
chaser 4 per cent interest compound
ed quarterly. Or, a person may pur-
chase one Of these certificates out
right at $4.12 now. $4.l3 In February,
$4.14 in March. and 81 on, redeemable
January i, 1923. at $500. o., he may
bury what is known as q war savinga
stamp, and when he has accumulated
20 OF these, which cost him eighty
odd dollars, he gets a certificate re-
deemable January 1, 1929, at 10000
which gives him the same rate Of IN
terest "a per cent compounded quar-
terly) as the thrift stamp.

thrift stamps wishes I q convert his
