BUY YOUR WAR
SAVINGS STAMPS NOW

1t has been the purpose of the
heads of the Audubon Schools to
urge upon the students all patriotic
duties and to cooperate with all per-
sons having such duties in charge.
Had school been in session war saw
ings stamps would have been on sale
at the school houses and their sale
would have been urged upon the
students. Since our plans could not
be carried out l wish to urge that
it is the duty of the children and
grown people to invest as largely as
possible in this form of government
securities. The children can easily
spare their quarters and they will
help push the war to satisfactory
conclusion by thus loaning their saw
ings to the government. Then, too,
it is a splendid way to invest ones
savings even IL there were no war.
Four dollars and thirteen cents in
vested as you save it now may be a
way of collecting enough to later pay
your way through college or start
you in business.
