VERMONTS OBLIGATION
IL to Raise $50 Per Capita Through
Purchase Of War Savings Stamp~

IL 10 Holse 10 Fer Capita Through
Purchase Of War Savings Stamps
With more than four months Of the
campaign gone, Vermont has subscribed
only $1.67 per capita of the so required of
the State by the government That means
that some rapid progress must be made
between now and December 81 in order
to keep Vermont out of the Stacker class.
We must largely increase our purchases
Of thrift and war savings stamps. We as
individuals must feel the responsibility Of
the call.
Some people have gained the impress
sion that the war savings stamp cam
paign was designed chiefly for children.
The idea is erroneous. The school chill
dren support is one of the bright features
Of the campaign as outlined by the ma,
tional organization and as it Is being car
ried out in many Of the States. The chill
dren are doing remarkably we'll in YER
mont But the war savings stamp cam
paign is for men, women and Children.
for all. regardless Of their age: and it is
just as much the duty Of Vermonters
to raise the States quota in this cam
paign as it was In The Liberty Loan drive.
The State emerged triumphant from the
latter campaign. 1t can do so in the war
savings movement All it needs is gen.
eral cooperation.
Therefore. just a word about the war
savings certificates. They are backed by
the same security as the Liberty bonds.
They bear four per cent interest COM,
pounded quarterly. You can buy in Csc
purchases or In 81 and a few cents
lots. The certificates are to be redeemed
in 1923. They car be registered to avoid
the possibility CT loss Of invest
ment through being misplaced or

postofhces, banks. at many stores and
perhaps in some other places in your city
or town. In short, the war savings stamp
makes one Of the best chances we have
for saving on a moderate scale. And finally
the government needs .he money to carry
on the war. 1t needs your cooperation
In this plan. Will you help?

The more formal costume worn by the girl
with the Greek face and form repeats for us the
SartorIal message that the straight line is the
thing III the Spring apparel. 1t repeats, too,
the dictum that gowns are made Of as little
material as modesty will permit
Never were gowns straighter, not even during
the reign of the hobble skirt, but experience
has triumphed over scrvtude to fashion, The
drapery of the skirts is so arranged that there
is freedom for the feet and ankles. Never again
will walking be impeded by e silly mprison-
mcnt Of the means of locomotion. Necessity for
freedom Of movement is the mother Of invention
of sane skirts. Of Greek simplicity and dignity
is the drapery.
A glance assures the beholder that the origi.
nal of the third picture of the group is one of
highly individuaized young woman. She
would never wear gown simply because her
neighbor had such an one. She would choose
one because it is intrinsicaly beautiful. Sec
ond, because it is adapted to her type, fitting
frame for her special sort of loneliness. 1t
would not be becoming to every one. But it is
vastly becoming to her, What have said of
the gown is likewise true of the hat she wears.
