You boys are not vet old enough to

We really could do without, should be
used to buy United States Thrift
Stamps. Every time you buy %

time when it needs it to end the war.
You will probably think that 20 cents

your country. If every boy and girl
should set aside 25 cents and then
another 25 cents, and so on until they

You lend it; and the Government will
pay you back with interest.
Thrive On Thrift.
when you buy Thrift Stamp or a
War-Savings Stamp, you are practic
ing THRIFT. When it is said that a
person is practicing thrift, it means
that he is not only saving money, but
that he is denying himself things
that be does not actually need for
health. That he is laying money by
for a rainy day, and that he becomes
better and stronger person by saw
ing. II each of the men and 1omen
in this country had practiced thrift

have poorhouses and other institu-
tions that must be supported from the
pockets OF those who have practictd
thrift and laid by money for a rainy
day.
"We are sure that every boy and
girl in Oklahoma wants to help the
United States to end this war and
they can help by saving their money
and buying War-Savings Stamps and
by having everybody in the house
where they live doing the same thing.
Don't stop with yourself, but get
others to save. When you become
men and women you will look back
upon today with the greatest salts
faction. and say to. your children that
while you were TOO young to fight in
the great world war you did your part
by saving your money and lending it
to the Government.
