 That is one of the lessons the war has taught. American money, any promise to pay on the part of Uncle Sam. Is mighty valuable in the eyes of a loyal, red blocded. patriotic Ameri- can.
 That Is why the Liberty Bonds found so ready a market. and that Is why the War Savings Stamps look just like money They are money-with this added, the Government pays in- terest on 8 s500 War Savings Stamp. while it does not on a $500 They are both simply evidences of indebted ness on Uncle San's part and his writ ten promise to pay.
