aArmistice Day. IS November II.

ArmiStlce Day" Is November IL.
Just one year ago the American PEG.
pie celebrated the end of the world
war. This year they have a chance to
celebrate again. The War Savings or
ganization of the Seventh District has
formulated plans to start campaign
on the annis ersary Of the cessation OF
hostilities by urging the people to en-
list In new war on the high cost OF
living-to start to save on that day, II
you have not already done so, and t.
set forth on November IL with de
termination to buy only what is neces
sary, to help stop extravaganza, cur
tail waste and invest, at least in part
the money thus saved in government
securities.
The "Armistice Day" plans Of the
War Savings organization include:
"Armistice Day" sermons in every
pulpit in the five states of the Seventh
District, urging judicious spending
regular saving and investment in gov
eminent securities.
"Armistice Day" proclamations by
the governors of the five states and
the mayors of the principal cities of
the Seventh District.
Resolutions to be passed by labor
organizations and fraternal orders.
"Armistice Day" exercises in all the
schools. Every child to be asked to
buy at least one Thrift Stamp.
"Armistice Day" pamphlets, showing
why every one should join In helping
bring down high cost Of living by en-
listing in the governments campaign
on November II, will be put in the
hands of every family in the district.
The War Savings organization points
out that there could be no better occa-
sion than the anniversary of the end
Of the war for the people to reflect
their Joy and thanks by enlisting in
the new war-this time on the high
cost of living.
William Mather Lewis. director of
the Savings Division of the Treasury
Department. recently made the follow
ing comment on the fight against high
prices:
Waste is the American weakness
and waste Is contributing cause to
the present high prices. The average
American citizen must get in the habit
of taking a personal inventory; of
studying the leaks in his own financial
system; of policing his own pocket
book before the high cost situation
will be materially bettered.
"The prOfiteer's slogan Is Easy
money The profiteer fattens today
because easy money is universal in
America, because extravaganza is
habitual, because men are content to
deal in glittering generalities about
the situation and stubbornly unwilling
to face the matter personally"
Armistice Day gives everyone the
opportunity to "face the situation per-
sonally" by en1sting in the savings
campaign Of the government. Among
the slogans suggested for this cam.
paign are:
Work, Save. Succeed wv. S. 81
Buy only what you need.
Put Liberty Bond interest in w. s. S.
Start Saving Armistice Day.
Police your own pocketbook; save.
November Is Is one Of the big
gest of the Liberty Bond interest pay
days. Then Uncle Sam will pay out
to the investors in that class of gov
eminent security total of more than
$148, 100000 in interest. On that date
you have a chance to TURN YOUR
INTEREST INTO PRINCIPAL" by re-
investing.i it in War Savings Stamps or
the new Treasury Savings Certificates
of 500 and 81 900 denominations.
On Armistice Day complete the
ranks Of the national army modified
to fight the high cost of living to a
finish.
