When II is understood that South
Carolina's quota of war savings
stamps 10 more than twice its
quota In the last Liberty loan cam
paign, 1t can be readily appreciated,
an Official OF the State war savings
committee points out. how vastly i'm.
portant measure the war savings
campaign 10. The States nominal
quota is $4,000 900 worth of stamps
to be SOLD during this year. but this
quota has been reduced to $20. 0.O00, 600
for the June campaign. As no one In.
dividual can own over $1,000 worth of
stamps. 1t means that about half mil.
lion people must be reached II the
forthcoming campaign Is to be sue
cessful
The pledge to be signed in the June
campaign Is very simple. The signer
pledges to economize, and promises to
invest specified Rmount In war saw
fngs stamps during the year, to be
purchased at any stated time. II is
expected that by June % there shall
be no man or woman in the State who
has not sig cd the pledge. Owing to
the fact that the American nation Is
notoriously spendthrift, the success of
the campaign will mean that the people
OF this country have won a victory at
home without which victory can not
be obtained abroad. The moral as
well as material effect of the cam
paign will be highly significant
whether the campaign succeeds or
fails
war savings stamp is really a s5
bond for which person pays SALT in
June, and which will be redeemed for
IS on January 1, 1sS3. This represents
interest compounded quarterly at the
rate OF per cent per annum. In case
OF necessity, the stamp can be redeem
ed any time before maturiay at the
rate OF per cent. It's purchasing and
redemption value increases one cent
each month. BY making this invest
ment one makes no sacrifice; but by
dispensing with needless purchase
in order to invest. he is doing the most
important act q civilian can perform.
