PRESIDENT APPEALS
FOR WAR SAVINGS
ON JUNE 28
Cobb County Is Organized
To Sell Thrift Stamps
On That Date

If you are not dong so, you GER
tainly should be saving up every
possible penny to invest in Thrift
Stamps on June 28th.
Preparations are being made to
get our people to do our part in the
purchase of thrift stamps on that
day, and you should be ready to go
'the limit" in buying, and that with
out being solicited
This is one important branch of
our governments financial scheme
that we have too long neglected and
we should now redeem ourselves.
Let us have more saving and invest
more money, and do less talking.
The President has called for action
in this matter in Proclamation, so
let us each do our part.
"This war is one of nations-not of
armies" said the President, "and all
of our one hundred million people
must be economically and industri-
ally adjusted to war conditions if this
nation is to play it's full part in the
conflict The problem before us is
not primarily financial problem, but
rather a problem of increased pro-
duction of war essentials and the saw
ing of the materials and labor nee
essary for the support and equipp-
ment of our army and navy. Thou
ghtless expenditure of money for non
essentials uses up the labor of men,
the products of the farm, mines and
factories and over-burdens transpor-
tation, all of which must be used to
the utmost and at their best for war
purposes.
National Movement Urged
"The great results which we seek
can be obtained only by the participa-
tion of every member of the nation,
young and old, in national concert
ed thrift movement l therefore urge
that our people everywhere pledge
themselves, as suggested by the sec
retary of the treasury, to the practice
of thrift; to serve the government to
their utmost in increasing production
in all fields necessary to the winning
of the war; to conserve food and fuel
and useful materials of every kind /;
to devote their labor only to the most
necessary tasks, and to buy only those
| things which are essential to individ-
ual health and efficiency, andthat the
people, as evidence of their loyalty
invest all they can save in Liberty
Bonds and war saving stamps.
"The securities issued by the trea-
sury department are so many of them
within the reach of everyone that the
door of opportunity in this matter is
wide open to all of us. To practice
thrift in peace times is virtue and
great benefit to the individual at all
times; with the desperate need of the
civilized world to-day for materials
and labor with which to end the war,
the practice of individual thrift is
patriotic duty and necessity.
| Economy and Thrift
81 appeal to all who now own eth
er Liberty Bonds or war saving stamp
to continue to practice economy and
thrift and to appeal to all who do not
own government securities to do like
wise and purchase them to the extent
of their means. The man who buys
government securities transfers the
purchasing power of his money to the
United States government until after
this war and to that same degree does
not buy in competition with the gov
ernment.
81 earnestly appeal to every man,
woman and child to pledge themsel-
YES on or before the 28th of June to
save constantly and to buy as regular
ly as possible the securities of the
government, and to do this as far
as possible through membership war
saving societies. The 28th of June
ends this special period of enlistment
! in the great volunteer army of pro
duction and saving here at home.
! Nav there be none Gnenlisted on that
day."
