ance. We want to reduce the present
high cost of living and to get things
back on q substantial and prosperous
peace basis with the least possible
trouble and delay.
In order to do these things. 1t Is
necessary for the people generally 10
change their present way of spending.
People are still experiencing a re-
action from the forced thrift OF war
times and as a rule are spending reck-
lessiy. / believe that one OF the prin-
cipal causes of the present high cost
of living is, as someone has expressed
it, the cost of high living" II we
are to pay our debts and get back to q
normal basis, we must all practice
economy Of time, labor and money; we
must save and invest wisely. l will
not enter into an economic discussion
of the subject. There are undoubted-
ly many other reasons for the present
high prices, but think you will agree
with me In this-that the only way OF
permanently lettering our condition Is
by practfcing thrift.
Spend Wisely and Save.
"As you know, the Government
realizes this fact and is conducting q
nation wide campaign Of thrift educa-
ton and the sale of War Savings
Stamps and other Government securi-
ties In order to make this campaign
effective, 1t must be popularized. This
can only be done by inducing large
number of people to spend wisely and
save. You know the majority of peo-
pie will not do this unless they are
impressed with the necessity Of it
and are induced to join with their
neighbors in investing in Government
securities In this way, they will pre-
vent their surplus money from being
spent for non-essentials and luxuries.
For this reason. we are convinced that
an intensive effort to sell Government

securities should be made in your
county and every other county in the

Campaign to Help.
II believe by carrying on such q
campaign. our old organization will be
in way perpetuated and will give
proof of it's efficiency for patriotic work
In peace as we'll as in war I think
that such . campaign properly car
ried on in each county will help very
greatly in the sale of these securities.
Increased sales will relieve the
Treasury Department OF Just that
much financing work by the sale Of
Cert1ncates OF Indebtedness to the
banks and will release just that much
money for industrial development I
believe that it will result in calling
peoples attention to the value of the
Government securities as an invest
ment and will tend to poplarize thrift
as happy habit Moreover, 1t will
materially aid in the reduction Of the
high cost Of living and decrease So
cial and political unrest"
