An immense gathering OF captains
and workers for the war saving
stamp campaign last evening at the
rooms of the Twin Falls Commercial
club to line up for the three-day cam
paign during which every man, wom-
an and child in the city and country
will be given a chance to buy a stamp
and help lick the kaiser 1t is urged
that those who cannot afford to take
more begin buying a twenty-five cent
stamp. If they can take more so much
the better. If they can take $1,000
worth better still. The teams are al
ready at work. Some facts not quite
clear previously were brought out by
the meeting.
One of these is that II you buy the
war saving stamps outright, you must
pay in cash at the time of purchase
thirteen cents extra for each stamp.
The reason is this. The stamps can
not be delivered until next month
when the price of a stamp with the
face value of So will be Sab. OF
course those buying less than full
w. S. S. stamp pay the face value of
what they buy and receive their thrift
, stamps at the same time that the
others are given out; that is between
February 10 and March l. These ado
: the extra pennies needed when they
u get the required 81 worth and get {
So w. S. S. At present you get {
receipt for your money and a dupli
cate receipt is turned in to the post
master, who will get his clerks bus,
. and will have the stamps, based o.
il the receipts, ready by February
III and not before With thousands CON
y ing in, it would be quite impossible t
ie attend to the matter without previou
preparation. Therefore, he mus

stamps and unless the system ShOul
be uniform the greatest confusio
=. must prevail. Therefore, each work
=. er is instructed to collect SAL 70
- each IS stamp sold and give receiI
- for the same. Failure to do this wi

"a Reports from everywhere indicai
"a that this method of raising funds
going to be popular. There is tn
- greatest enthusiasm here, and MAJ
G. ager Priebe for the country campaig
40 says reports coming in are all flatte
ing.
a The feeling that cooperation mu
nt be shown by all in fight for the prii
an ciples of democracy, that the staml
are sound investments which may
% taken in accordance with the meal
AID of everyone and that they viii lay Il
foundation for the practice OF thrift
he universal.
w. A false report was circulated tod
,r to the effect that an effort would
made to force every family to buy
70 worth of stamps at once. This
as course is lie. People are urged
buy as a patriotic duty which th
. owe their country, and as a sound
vestment, and to buy in accordan
with their means, but there is
compulsion and everyone who desii
re to purchase can begin as low as TIVE
five cents.
The county is asked to buy $445,(
7ul worth by January 1, 1919, but the
- port as circulated is wholly false.
