The Covington leader. (Covington, Tenn.) 18??-current, 1918-06-06

Man, Helps to Form Organization
and EnIists Service Of Local Mer-
chants in Sale Of Thrift Stamps.
Now that the third Liberty loan
and Red Cross campaigns have been
brought to a successful termination
all Of the interest and patriotic en-
thusiasm Of our people will be direct
cd towards the war savings cam
paign, The quota Of our county is
$b9l ,SSO.00--more than the first, sec
ond and third liberty loans, and this
amount is to be raised by our citi-
zens pledging their savings between
now and January /, 1919 The daily
income from the sale Of thrift stamps
and war savings stamps now amounts
to approximately $3,000,000 a day.
1t is planned to raise this income to
$4,000 900 a day by an intensive
campaign directing all the savings of
the people to be turned into this
channel. When this is done, then
our government win be assured Of a
steady income for a successful pros
ecution Of the war. and can cut its
cloth accordingly. When such an in
come IS assured, then the government
will no longer have to put on liberty
loan campaigns, but the war savings
PROGRAM will srpplant the liberty
bonds, just as has been done in Eng
land.
Onr country has been somewhat
backward in taking hold of this mat
ter, and Mr.. A. w. Maine, represent
INC the treasury department, was here
Wednesday and organized the cam
paign. Mr. Maine was formerly vice.
