War Savings Stamps.

The next big civilian war effort sched-
uled for Vermont is the war savings
stamp drive, which viii be conducted in
tensively from June "a to 2s, and the
object Is to secure pledges Of citizens of
the state that during this year they viii
purchase these stamps to an amount, col.
lectively, of something over seven million
of dollars. The allotment is $50 per cap
tia, and thus far the state has not taken
hold of this proposition in satisfactory
manner.
This is in all probability the result Of a
misunderstanding of the war savings
stamps proposition Many have consid-
cred it merely method to secure the
stray quarter which, when invested in
thrift stamps, soon becomes fiye-dollar
war saving stamp. This is one purpose.
and is an excellent one, for it means that
many dollars which would not otherwise
be put to war use are loaned to the gov
eminent, but the plan is nevertheless
something more than childrens savings
club.

1t is a serious war finance proposition
and is depended upon by the government
as such, just as much as are the Liberty
bond issues. Vermont is Just as much ex-
pected to buy up its full allotment of
these stamps as it is of the Liberty loan,
and it would mar the record Of the state
as much to fall down on this PROPOSE
ton as il would to be found wanting
when Liberty bond issue were placed
on sale.
An intensive campaign Of education is
being waged in the state, the first evil
dence of which in this community is the
appearance of considerable amount of
advertising in to.night's issue Of The
Messenger. All over the state patriotic
individuals and firms are paying for ad-
vertsing space to be used in their local
, newspapers to inform the people of their
present duty The government makes no
allowance from its own funds for propa-
ganda work of this kind, and the individ-
uals and firms who step into the gap ard
assist the government by buying space
with their own money are performing
real war service, for which they deserve
recognition.
Through the medium of the newspaper,
as we'll as by public speaking and other
means, the Importance of the war savings
stamp campaign will be brought home to
the people They then win be asked to
pledge themselves TO purchase that
amount of stamps which they feel able
to buy during the present year. Although
the quota is $50 per capita, if all indi-
viduals were to limit themselves to that
amount, it goes without saying that the
states allotment would not be reached, for
there are some large families with rela-
lively small pay, which probably could
not take their full amount, and unfortu-
nately there are some who are able to go
into these things on a big scale who do
not vet sense their duty in this regard.
Some there must be who viii have TO go
the limit, and any patriotic man or wom-
an viii naturally 60 the limit OF his or
! her ability.--st. Adams Messenger
