 Secretary McAdoo Message.
 I write to ask you to help your country.
 You can do so and help yourself in a very simple manner.
 Many of us can not fight, but every one of Us can help by saving. Every dollar saved and not spent on un- necessary things releases that amount of labor and material to make ar ticles for our Army and Navy. When a dollar that is saved is loaned to the Government it is doubly effec- tive.
 To that end Congress has author. ized the sale of war Savings stamps and Unftedt States thrift stamps in de J nominations of s5 and, of g cents, respectively. Each war-savings stamp you buy is loan to the United States Government, is direct help to every soldier and sailor who is risk. ing his life in the war, and is a safe and simple way to invest your say. ings.
 Governments Pledge Behind Stamps | The United States Government pledges its entire resources and credit to repay this loan on January 1, 1923 wit. 4 per cent interest.
 War-Savings stamps are saving: investment which can not decline ir value, and are guaranteed by the United States Government to go UT in value as the interest is added. Should you want your money back before January 1, 1923, any money or der post office will, after. 10 days notice, refund to you the amount you paid for war-savings stamps plus ar added amount for each month yor have held them after January, 1918
