Hundreds of Kansans are planning
to utilize their pennies only for war
savings purchases. Thus the man
who buys a cigar that now costs only
six cents, will put the additional four
cents into his stamp fund. He may
smoke four, five, six or more cigars
a day. Instead Of using the pennies
received in change in making addi-
tional purchases, each penny will per-
