cussion by State Heads at

indications are that the present
War Saving Stamp organization now
existing throughout the United States
will in the near future be made per
manent organization. although 1t may
not in nature be exactly similar to the
present organization" said Charles B.

Wayne County War Stamp campaign,
upon his return from Indianapolis yes
terday evening. Mr.. Beck was In the
capital in consultation with other War
Savings campaign men. and the nat

lively.

new saving Institution will be given
another name, and that 1t may be
modified In manner of conduction, but
the basic principal of helping the
people Of the United States to save
their money by placing 1t in an abso-
lutely safe investment, and at the
same time to help the government by
lending 1t their money will remain
intact" said Beck
