loyal Citizens Of Ninth District Called
On to Cooperate With War Saw
inas Organizations to Form So
cieties and Sell Stamps.

"Pcople Of the Ninth Federal Re.
serve District do not yet fully appre-
ciate the possibilities of good to them
selves and the great value to their
Government of the organization of
War Savings Societies." said A. r.
Rogers, Chairman Of the Distric. War
Loan Organization, in discussing Gov
eminent financing progress.
I'VE have set about organizing 49,
900 or 10000 War Savings Societies
es the backbone Of the American
thrift movement in this district" said
MIR. Rogers. After a week of rather
Intensive effort, we have organized
probably 1000 societies. This Is not
getting results fast enough. and 1t Is
not in keeping with the usual patri-
otto response made to Government re-
guests by the loyal people Of this dis
trict. Un,ess the organization of
these societies is speeded up, we will
have to resort to some other means
OF impressing upon the people the need
of thrift and the absolute necessity
Of buying these smaller Government
securities"
Results Will Be Obtained.
Mr.. Rogers and J. H. Meyering, Di-
rector Of organization of the War Saw
in.s Division, both admit d%isappoint-
uiaut in the progress being made, but
Insist that desired results will be OBJ
taired even though it takes a little
longer to get going at top speed than

We are not at all discouraged about
the success of a district-wide organi-
eaton Of War Savings Societies." said
M. Meyering. These societies fur.

Must Have Support.
"TNe fact remains, however, that !
the United States Government must
have the moral and financial support
OF all it's citizens If it is to finish it's
war job. Everybody must spend
wisely, save and buy Government Sc
cuIities. Reports we get convince us
that men, wumen and children are be-
ginning to realize this fact and to get
back or the job.
1T is the business of every loyal
to do everything possible
and cooperate in every possible way
with the local War Savings Organiza-
ton In the work of organizing societ-
les and selling stamps. This district
will never be satisfied to make a
poorer showing than the people in
other parts Of the country in this de-
partment Of financing the Government
and benefting themselves by forming
habits of thrift. Our good name and
our future prosperity depends upon
1t, and we know that the majority of
the people in the Ninth District are
short-sighted nor unpatriotic.
They are not cutters and we know
they will do their share in finishing
the job. The only thing we are anx.
lous to impress upon them is that they
must begin NOW"
