THE BEST KNOWN
 FACT IN AMERICA---

Should be that our Government cannot fin- ance this war unless we deny ourselves the un- necessary purchases that are keeping labor and materials engaged in unnecessary purposes.
 When you limit your spending to necessities and lend the resulting saving to your Government you are helping to equip and send soldiers into the field against autocracy.
 The easiest way to lend to the Government is to buy War Savings Stamps. For the $4.14 you put into them this month you will get $500 in five years time. And you can always get your money back if you need it.
 Or begin with a 25-cent U. s. Thrift Stamp and when you have 16 of them ($4) exchange them with the few extra pennies for War Saw ings Stamp.
