the Fifth Federal Reserve District.
According to figures given out today
By the War Loan Organization OF the
District, these lodges have more than
one hundred and thirty-si1 thousand
members, and not only are all these
members urged to join War Savings
Societies, but many lodges are invest
Inr their Treasury funds in War Saw
lngs Stamps.
Some three hundred lodges, with a
membership exceeding thirty.four
thousand, are forming societies in
Maryland. Among the orders repre-
sented there are the Knights OF
Pythias, Shield of Honor, Maccabees,
Red Men, Knights OF the Golden
Eagle, W0odmen OF the World and

In Virginia the Woodmen Of Amer
loa are heartily cooperating in the
thrift movement. Their two hundred
and ton lodges with a membership

As PERMANENT INVESTMENT
Secretary Of Treasury Glass Shows
Values Of War Savings and
Asks for Cooperation.

Secretary Glass, in = recent inter
view given at Washington. discussed
War Stamps as a permanent invest
ment as follows:
WAR Savings Stamps afford an ex-
csllent vehicle for increasing capital
and earning power. Many persons
have not taken the War Savings
Stamps seriously as an investment
but the fact that they may be bought
in as largo a quantity as $1,000 face
value during 1919, at such favorable
interest return, makes them most de-
sirabls for the average man or family.
Definite plans for the continuance
Of the issue in coming years Of small
Government securities are being work
ed out.
ALTHOUGH War Savings Stamps
sales this year do not approach the
high marks made under stimulation of
war need last year, their absorption
by the public thus far has been salts
factory.
Savings In all channels shrank dur
ing the early months Of tho year. and
it is expected that War Savings Stamp
sales, along with postal savings and
savings bank deposits. will grow
steadily throughout tho year.
Cooperation is sought earnestly In
the matter Of keeping Thrift and War
Savings Stamps on sale, so that no
one 90 inclined may fail to have oppor-
tunity to invest his money wisely"
