a 8 we'll as in shops mas been expressed
friends and old-time employers writ
ten, but men in the service have sai,.
they were anxious to get out and that
they had good jobs waiting for them.
In all cases where requests for early
release have been asked Governor Mil
liken has given the information &C
cording to the regulations Of the war
department. This is that the man in
the service should formally ask for his
discharge and accompany the request
with an affidavit that his services are
needed at home.
Particularly insistent have been re-
quests that doctors be released from
service. These requests have come
from many communities in the State,
especially those where there has been
much sickness. Although the war de-
partment prescribed the rules to be
followed in securing the release of
these men, many of the letters cont
plain that all rules and regulations
have been compiled with and that the
men are still in service.
Governor Milliken and Adjutant Ger-
eral Presson have both been busy fol-
lowing up the requests and having the
Maine delegation in Washington sup
plement their efforts. From Washing.
ton. too, the word has been received
that both Maine senators and con.
sressmen have received many requests;
for discharges SO that it is evident no
Maine soldier or sailor who wants a
Job when he leaves the service need
go around without one.

MAINE SOLDIERS

No matter il Massachusetts, and some

because there are not jobs enough for
the soldiers returning from France. the
situation in Maine is one so favorable

TAKE TWENTY
STEPS TO START
HOME OF own
War Savings Stamps Will Do the
Trick and Help You to Inde-
pendence in Life.

The man or woman owning home
rather than renting, is on the way to
truest happiness and prosperity. The
home owner is a solid and substantial
citizen, not 4 national, economic
"1oater." He is like tree that has
taken firm root.
The man or the woman not now own
ing a home should lose no time in
beginning to work for the homecoming
goal. Saving for home should begin
Immediately, since comparatively few
are financially able to build on the
instant. "The first hundred is the
hardest" but the first hundred"
needn't come hard at all, if proper say.
ing methods are put into use.
War Savings stamps, with Thrift
stamps as builders, and the new Treas
ury Savings certificates are admirable
friends of the American citizen with
laudable homecoming ambitions. It's
comparatively easy to save S., albeit
the War Savings stamp which in 1924

costs but $4.2O. The first SIS saved
means the first step, the step that
counts, toward the homecoming
achievement. Take twenty such steps
buy twenty War Savings stamps
within the current year and your filled
1919 War Savings stamps card may
be exchanged for a Treasury Savings
certificate maturing, in 1924, for 500.
If your first hundred" already ap-
proaches realization, take the twenty
steps at leap by purchasing $500
Treasury Savings certificate which
costs, in September, 1919, only $84,
with monthly price and value increase
of 20 cents. In September, 1919, a
$1,000 Treasury Savings certificate ma
turing in 1924 costs but $40, with So
monthly increase. With building lot
and from $1,000 to $500 capital, 1t
has been estimated, actual home build
ing, under one of several partial-pay-
ment plans, may safely begin.
The business or professional woman
with homecoming aspirations pins her
faith to War Savings stamps and
Treasury Savings certificates. They
bear per cent interest, compounded
quarterly, they mature in five years,
they may be redeemed at any time, at
any post office, at face value.
