Vermont viii Pledge Herself to Buy
&7,8o5.o0o Of war Savings stamps
The week of June n wifi tell the story
Vermont is to come up to the
expectations of the government in loan
ing money through Wal Savings Stamps
for the prosecution Of the war. The gov
eminent asks $40 per capita from YER
mont, or approximately 1855 900. through
the medium of these stamps. to be paid
for by the people during the calendar
year 1918 n to be redeemed by the row.
nme In 1923 after interest has been
compounded quarterly at four per cent.
Thus far only slightly more than one
tenth Of the desired amount has been
purchased. How to insure the sale Of the
other nine-tenths Of the sum required Of
Vermont was tho problem which faced
the State director and the county
ayers at their recent conference in Mont
pelier. In order to accomplish the de-
sired end. in order to show the govern
ment that Vermont ID "a ready with her
money As with her men, the conference
chose a plan which already had succeed
ed in Nebraska n which was being
adopted by several eastern States. That
plan IL to have . Statewide drive for
psO10Vo ~ tUS W. SS8iIlV CAII-
paisn-pssdses to purchase certain
amounts OF the stamps during the re-
maindsr Of the calendar pear. II 10.
therefore, not necessary that the amount
be loaned at one time-it can be ad-
vanced to the government in INSTALL
ments throughout the remainder of the
year. but the ooner II IL advanced the
greater the returns on the investment.
If the money Is not paid Immediately 1t
perhaps 10 better to follow a systematic
purchase of 80 much each week or each
month.
This pledge campaign will be started,

turns will BE- tabulatsd on the night of

Wilson a. War Savings day and to be
designated similarly by Governor Ora

OF the stamps, or the pledging. will end
on June q. The stamps Including thrift
stamps) will continue to be on sale
through the year., and the Cooperation
Of all Vermonters is urged to increase
Vermont's offering to the government.
During the intensive drive II is pro-
posed to make = personal v in
every city and town In Vermont In order
to ! everyone a chance to pledge
amounts which they themselves will de-
termins. The maximum amount which
the government allows to be held
by n person Is $1,000 maturity

down to a single Thrift Stamp for which
