MAKE YOUR DOLLARS WORK

The governments work or fight
order is helping to build ships and
make war material. But to win the
war we will have to make dollars
both work and fight. One of the most
effective ways of doing this is buy
ing War Savings Stamps.
We must remember that the bur-
den of winning the war rests on our
shoulders just as much as It does on
our boys in the trenches. With the
successes of Pershing's men on the
western front fresh in mind 1t is in
conceivable that the people back
home should fail to support them.

must be financed with current saw
ings. Therefore every patriot will
