employers of labor or others have formed efficient war savings societies which are actually obtaining system atic and adequate subscriptions to war savings stamps, this work should not be interferred with by an endeavor to supersede the war savings societies by the introduction of the partial payment plan for subscriptions to Liberty loan bonds. Such war savings societies should make every possible endeavor to promote the sale not only of war savings stamps. but Liberty loan bonds during the coming drive.
 The loyal army of workers in both these organizations must realize that they are working for common cause, though by different methods; that each is a part of the treasury department force. and that each is under treasury department control.
 Complete harmony and unity of purpose helps both organizations in the attainment of the purpose of each the successful financing of the war on a sound basis
 During the Victory loan in England (. tificates were enormously increased and to the English War Savings so- cieties was given the credit for putting the loan up to the thousand million sterling mark Let those of us in Ari- zona who are devoting all our time and energy to the War Savings movement lend such cooperation to the Liberty loan campaign as to make it possible for fr, pho nf nj 1falie fp say cat it's successful conclusion that we did much to put it over" and at the same time vastly increase the sale of War Savings Stamps
 Children to Aid
 Now. county chairmen, the period of this drive will give you d fine oppor- tunity to tighten all the loose nuts and bolts in your organizations and have them in good tune for the selling drive of our own which will naturally fol- low the Liberty lean campaign. After that campaign is over we should ride high on the wave of enthusiastic pa triotism which it will create.
 There is one field, however, in which your county organization will have free and unlimited hand during the Liberty bond campaign, and that is among the children
 These little patriots will be on their tiptoes while the big drive is on. They will be keen to do their bit with tWo- bits and there is no reason why you HhoCid not mop up with Thrift stamps among the children during this period
 Let Us therefore earnestly ask you 10 check up on the organization of thrift societies in the schools of your county. If any school has been lax in this matter, tell the principals and teachers to organize just as quickly as they can in order to get the benefit of this Liberty bond enthusiasm Tell all your principals and teachers they are expected to put on Thrift stamp drive among their children-it will be really a Junior Liberty bond drive.
 Put Arizona at Top
 Get this fact, too. The secretary does not say you are to relax your effort to sell War Savings Stamps and Thrift Stamps during the Eibertv bond drlve. He knows there are persons who VIII be unable to buy Liberty bonds ana he tells you to go after them with war Savings Stamps. The idea. in a nutshell, is this: Do not interfere in any way with the possible sale of n Liberty bond, even to those who can only buy on partial payment plan. but ln all cases of refusals to buy Liberty bonds, on the score of financial ina bility, after the partial payment plan has been explained 10 the individual get nim or her to take a War Savings stamp or to start with a Thrift Stamn Here IS great opportunity for you1 | organization to cooperate With tho l county Liberty loan workers. and you should see that it is done. Liberty bonds and War Saving stamps are both government securities and they dove tail.
 VI ar Savings societies are looked tc 10 carry to successful issue the Wa, SaVlngs government loan. It can be oone but not if we don't wake m and get them organized in this state. Let us get busy everywhere along this line ana pull Arizona up to nearer the ton Marlcopa county now has over 15( societies organized Arizona's auota is S70.
