The National War Savings Commit
tee, which is carrying on, through is
state and local committees, a nation
wide campaign to get all the people
on or before June 28 to pledge them
selves to save to the utmost of their
ability and to buy War Savings
Stamps with their savings, has given
out the following. staterlant:
Those of us who remain at home.
while others do the fighting have an
everincreasing number of opportunI-
ties to do definite and highly import
ant work for our country We wish
to do this work as an expression Of
the gratitude we feel in being priv
legged to continus at our usual tasks,
to enjoy the loving companionship Of
our families, to meet freely with our
friends and neighbors, to enjoy all the
security of life and most of the pleas
ures and the economic privileges of
peace times while other men, who
have had to put aside all these things,
are fighting our battles for us on the
sacred soil of France and on the high
seas.
Our new opportunity to serve
comes as a result of designating June
% as National War Savings Day, a
day on which all men and women and
all children of sufficient years to APP
preciate the days significance are
called upon to pledge themselves to
save to the utmost of their ability and
to conserve all possible labor and ma
terials for the Government, and to
buy War Savings Stamps with their
savings. Our part is to do everything
possible to make this day stand OUT
among the great days of this period
of the war.
Gould any one of us be asked TO-
do less than this? Could any one of
us refuse to do so little thing to
win a war for the worlds freedom?
Gould any one of us put aside this plea
for saving while all Europe is crying
out in its agony to be released from
the clutches of the monster that is
befouling all it touches? Could we
refuse to do so simple a thing and at
the same time ask other men to give
their lives that their own precious
lives be spared and our firesides be
kept safe from the terrors of the Hun?
National War Savings Day is to
be the great rallying day on which
everyone in our country is expected
to pledge himself or herself to save
and economic. This saving and econ
omizing will first of all leave in the
markets a greater supply of labor and
materials for the use of the Govern
ment with which to fight the war. And
then the money savings of the indi-
viduals are to be invested in War
Savings Stamps.
what the Government asks us to
do is to pledge ourvesles to buy at
definite periods with our savings 4
specific amount of War Savings
Stamps. The thing to be accomplish
ed is to get subscriptions which will
take care during the balance OF tue
present year of the unsold portion of
the $4,000, 100000 of War Savings
authorized by the Congress to
be sold during 1918.
when one stops to think of the
matter it is really a small thing 10
raise $4,000, 900, 600 in country of
more than 100,000,000 people. If
everyone would do his share, it would
be necessary for each person to suo-
scribe to only $40 worth of stamps.
sThe duty of us at home is to see
to it that the entire amount is sub
scribed. We must work to that end.
We must add to our already great
army of war savers. We must make
more sacrifices ourselves and urge
sacrifices upon others. National War
Savings Day must be made the great
success all Of us hope for"
