this is the case in NEARLY every sec

great silent drive being made all over
the country FOR the purpose OF in
shilling thu savings habit into every

II the cards have been mislaid by

The information sought viii aid much

how many under that age
How many have one or more war
savings stamps
How many are buying thrift stamps
How many will gree to buy at least
one or more war savings stamps per

DO you fully understand what war
