PRESIDENT CALLS
ON ALL LOYAL men
LET NONE BE UNFINISHED ON
DAY SET APART FOR
STAMP SALE
FRIDAY, JUNE TWENTY-EIGHT
Great Opportunity Offered 70 Help
Win the War BY Signing the Pledge
In Response to Wishes Of Our Leader
In Great Struggle for Democracy.

Tne President CT the United states
has called upon the loyal men and
women OF America to pledge them
selves to save for victory He has
issued an earnest appeal to all Amer
leans, to buy War Savings Stamps as
regularly as possible. investing in this
form OF security the money saved
through avoiding needless expendi-
lures.
The 18th OF June ends this special
period OF enlistment in the greatest
volunteer army Of production and saw
ing here at home. MAY THERE BE
NONE UNENLISTED ON THAT
DAY"
What loyal American will refuse to
respond to this appeal issued by the
executive head of this nation and the
commander-in-chief OF our armed
forces?
We have the opportunity to enlist
in this volunteer army of production
and saving. In Germany il is a mat
ter Of compulsion. The iron hand OF
the German autocracy forces it harshly
upon the German people, depriving
them not merely OF Injuries. but of the
barest necessities OF life. We are ask
ed in America TO voluntarily postpone
our needless luxuries so that our sol
diers and sailors may not lack their
necessary equipment What the Ger
man nation does under rigid compul-
sion. certainly Americans will do in a
mild way voluntarily. 1t is unthink
able that there is a man. woman OF
child in America who will refuse to
sign the pledge to save and to invest
a portion OF the savings in War Saw
ings Stamps.
We must respond to the Presidents
solemn appeal-we must sign tbs
pledges. not bec7 -se we feel forced to
but because it 10 an opportunity for us
to help win the war. fhe pledges
should be signed cheerfully, willingly
| gratefully.
When the war Ii over and the peri0s
OF readiustment sets in. then will the
wisdom and the soundness Of the war
Savings movement become strikingly
apparent to all. There is now more
money in circulasS= than ever before
in the history CT the world, and this
condition IS .liSely to prevail after the
war is over But it is not the nation
which has merely money that will have
the advantage in the coming days OF
reconstruction. but rather the nation
which has the most available supply OF
goods and material Of all kinds
When an individual invests in War
Savings Stamps he is not merely saw
ing money. He is saving. in reality.
the material which he would otherwise
have bought. II is not lack OF money
that worries Germany-it is the lack OF
necessary materials. A government
can practically create meney. but It
can not create material
When the war is over 1t il predicted
that all nations win compete in South
American and Oriental trade II
America-at present the nation Of
greatest esources-conserves her re-
sources-she will naturally be In po-
sition after the war to dominate inter
national trade and maintain the ma
tional prosperity. But II we continue
to squander goods at the same time
that we double our demands by sup
plying the Government for war .pur-
poses. we are wasting labor and mate
rial Of which we win be in sore need
after the war.
