SECRETARY MeADOO ON SAVING

Il want you to think Of this situa-
ticn Tor the moment as one big gem
eral store. with, Uncle Sam as proprie-
tor. Uncle Sam has got to see that
his own people are fed and taken caro-
of; he has got to sec. in addition. that
the 100000 men. perhaps 100000
men. whom we are going TO put into
the field are fed and clothed and
equipped with the things that are
necessary to enable them to become
trained soldiers. These men will be
taken ont of the fields of productive
enterprise. They will be for the time
they are~in the war idle men from an
economic standpoint. They have got
TO be fed and clothed and equipped.
That means an enormous drain upon
the general store that We have not
heretofore had, and unless We econo-
mizc and prevent waste 1t is very
serious question whether we shall be
able to produce enough to meet all OF
our demands and the demands of the
rest of the world. Everything that We
rave is going TO release that much In
the general store for the support OF
our own armies and the armies Of
Europe."

PRESIDENT WILSON ON THRIFT

in the sense in which we have
been wont to think of armies there
are no armies in this struggle; there
are entire nations armed. Thus the
men who remain to till the soil AMI
man the factories are no less part
of the army that is in France than
the men beneath the battle flags. 1t
must be SO with US. II is not an army
that we must shape md train for war:
Il is a nation. To this end our people
must draw close in one compact front
against common foe. But this can
not be e each man pursues a private
purpose. All must pursue one pur-
pose. The nation needs all men, but
II needs each man. not in the field
that will most pleasure him but IN
the endeavor that will hest serve the
common good"

WHY YOU SHOULD BUY THEM.

The main reason for the purchase
OF War Savings Stamps is because
your country is at war Your country
needs every penny which every man,
woman and child can save and lend
in order to feed. clothe. arm, and
equip the soldiers and sailors Of
America and to win this righteous war
in defense of American honor and the
cause of democracy throughout the
world.
If VIC are to win the war, we must
win IT as a united people. The savings
Of every man. woman. and child are
necessary II we are to hasten the vic.
torious ending of the war. War Savers
are Life Savers.
