Dear Sir
There are many people in this State
who were unable through no fault
of their own, but on account of late
ness Of crops, sicknes or conditions
beyond their control, failed to keep
their War Savings Stamp Pledge.
l have been requested to announce
that those who pledged last June
can make good their pledge if they
purchase War Savings Stamps Of
the 1919 series by March 1st, 1919
The Parish Director will find the
pledge eafd = good foundation to
begin the campaign for this year and
word should be given to all our peo-
~ that they have another chance
Z heep their promise to the Treas
uSy. Department.
The War Savings workers can
use the pledge cards as seed corn"
for this years crop.
Please urge all the banks and
agents in your parish to procure at
once supply of new War Savings
Stamps. They should be on sale
now. and the cost this month is
A.12-in February the price is $4.13
they increase one-cent a month and
will be redeemed by the Government
January lst, 1924 at $500 The Is
cent Thrift Stamps will not change
and can be exchanged at any time for

The impression ha gotten abroad
that those who purchased $1,000 of
the 1913 isue of stamps have bought
the limit and would not be permitted
TO buy any of the issue of 1919. This
IS an error Those who now own
$1,000 of the issue of 1918 can pur-
chase the same amount of the issue
