WSS SOUND WAY
TO RAISE MONEY

There are only a certain number
OF ways for a nation to raise money
to carry on war or to keep things
going Immediately after a war One
OF these is to tax everybody on some
thing: on the clothes they wear, the
sales they make, the shows they see,
the food they eat or the things they
buy Another way is to borrow the
money to be paid back some time in
the future. If this country can borrow
of its own people, so much the better
There must be great deal of money
raised to keep this nation going in the
days while peace is being assured and
while the boys are being brought back
and the army demobilized.
There are millions of shells recent
ly made that must be paid for Nearly
four million men in the service must
be fed and clothed and sheltered till
they can be turned back into plain
clothes civilians once more. Liberty
Bonds will pay for part of this, tax
alton will pay for part and the WSS
will pay for considerable part. The
U. S. Government has been counting
on the money that has been pledged
by Americans to the War Savings
Stamps to carry part of this load. The
men who have bought the food and
the clothing and the tents and the
blankets for the men who are doing
the fighting, bought with the under
standing and assurance that Ameri-
cans who had given their word to buy
so many WSS would d. so. While the
demands and the expenses will not
be so great next year az they would
have been had the war Gcne on, it
Will require a large amount of money
to demobili2e the army, pay off the
soldiers, send them home and at the
same time keep large army in Eu-
rope to sec that we are not cheated
out of the peace that has been won.

MISSOURI READY To
REDEEM WSS PLEDGES
Officials in Every County Preparing for
Stamp Pledge Retention Week,
Dec. 7 to Dec. H..

Missouri has proud record in wan
work. Her Liberty Loau quotas have
been raised, her Red Cross assess
ments have been reached and every
demand made upon the people of the
State for help in winning the war has
been met. When the campaign for
the War Savings Stamps began in the
State last spring and summer, Missou-
rians everywhere bought what they
could and pledged themselves to take
and pay for enough stamps to COM
plete the States quota. In townships,
in counties and in school districts, pa
triotic citizens signed cards piedging
themselves to buy a certain amount
of stamps before the end of 1918.
New Years is not far away and the
1928 series of W.S.S. is about to be
closed. Now comes the time to meet
these pledges and to redeem all that
remain unredeemed. If you pledged
yourself to take W.S.S. to the face
value of 500 last June and have
bought but 16 of the S. Stamps, get
ready to take at least four more, so
that you may make good on your word
and on your promise to Uncle Sam.
The War Savings officials have set
aside the week between Dec. and
Dec. II as W.S.S. Redemption Week
in Missouri. 1t is something more
than Pledge Redemption Week, as
good Missourians and patriotic Ameri-
cans all over the State are being
asked to increase their subscriptions
and to urge those Of their neighbors
who have not subscribed or who can
subscribe still more, to get more
stamps before the end Of the year.
In all the school districts the local
stamp organizations will call meet
ing some time in the week that has
been set aside. The names of all t.
citizens in that district are to be
called at that meeting. Those who
have redeemed their pledges will be
given stamped certificate to that
effect. All over the State Missourians
will be making good on their pledged
words that day in order that the good
name of Missouri, and the splendid
record she has made in all war WORK,
may be maintained. Due notification
of the week will be given by procla-
nation to be issued by Gov Frederick
d. Gardner, and all local officials are
preparing to issue the calls for the
district meetings to be held some time
between Dec. and Dec. a.
complete record of all pledges
made in the State has been kept by
the officials. Every organization
knows just who has pledged to buy
Stamps and the amount of the pledge.
