FRAiERNAL ORDERS BUY WAR STAMPS
Dr. Raymond Speaks of Ac- tivities of Workers Here
 and Elsewhere

Dr. R. l. Raymond, representative or the Treasury department with headquar- ters in Atlanta, is spending few days in the city, and with State Director A. c. Crowder and A. B. Reesman, Jefferson county director, is looking over the War Savings campaign.
 Dr. Raymond is much gratified at the situation here and elsewhere and gave out the following statement last night
 Not only have the individual workers labored with their hands or with their heads to receive the War Savings Stamps and the new certificates as a method of personal success but fraternal organiza' tionss everywhere throughout the coun- try whether the small lodge in the coun- try town, or the magnificent city order with its rooms, it's building, and It's strong financial backing have been eager to lay hold of this splendid government investment for the furtherance of their own problem.
 The New York Masons association un- animously pledged it's members to the purchase of one million dollars in War Savings Stamps for 1919 through their various lodges. The New York State ElKs have obligated themselves to an invest nent of five hundred thousand dollars. The EIks of Illinois immediately upon hearing of the New York plan, pledging themselves for similar amount, wiring the New York lodge for details or the organization through .hat state.
 ''Is not this a splendid plan, not only for lodges but for all organizations, churches. societies of all kinds, to align themselves with the government in at once assisting themselves to their own ends and backing the federal organiza- tion by the investment of their capital.
 "The particular attractiveness or the War Savings program lies in a triple thought First, that the government it- self is our security, second that the inv vestrnent is easily made, according te the means of the individual obligator' third that with the remarkable interes' accruing the investment is redeemapie from the government whenever sudden emergency should compel, in whole or Tn part without decrease in value Of the original purchase. plus interest.
