efficiency and Economy. -
1--WE feel very certain that the lsiS
sale Of Government securities can D
effected with much less expense an
more efficiently under the new n
r.neements", said Governor Void TO-
dav. Any lack Of results IN the past
has been due to the fact that tnere
has been no central direction ana 10
we'll organized. continuous plan toF
the sale OF these securities. As W
have MANNED the organization, which
vfu be directed after the hrst OF jan
uary by Mr.. Rogers. we are certaL.
that results will be obtained with
much less effort and without friction
which developed in some localities
during the past year.
1.-THE Treasury Department at WASH.
ington is working out compiete anu
scientific national campaign to IN
duce thrift and the investment OF saw
inss in Government securities. our
district organization will have the
benefit of the Governments work and
will adapt and put into operation such
parts of the plan as meet the condi'
tions in this territory.
1--WE appreciate the enthusiasm ana
loyal efforts of the men and women
who have worked untiringly to erect
the sale of War Savings Stamps dur
ing the past year in the various states
of this district. We know that with
the experience they have had and
with the aid of new direction and ex.
perience they will be able to accom-.
plish very much more during the COM
ing months. While there Is to be an
other Liberty Loan drive, 1t will be
necessary to put more steam behind
the sale of Government Savings
Stamps than ever before. The Gov
eminent expects to realize 81 600 000,-
600 from the sale Of Savings Stamps
during 1919. This is more than twice
the amount sold during 1918 and indi-
viduals everywhere must realize that
the buying of stamps IL q paramount
duty"
Northwest win Not Fail.
"The people of the Northwest have
never failed to respond to any call In
which their loyalty has been involved
and they will not fail now when asked
to raise their share of the money
needed by their Government to finish
the biggest job ever undertaken by
any people" was the way in which
Chairman Rogers expressed his faith
in the outcome Of the 1919 campaign
for the sale Of Government securities.
Continuing Mr.. Rogers said; "n I
did not have entire faith In the loyal
ty of the people Of the Ninth District.
I would not have accepted the added
responsibility Of directing the war
loan organization which Is a combina-
ton Of the War SAVINGS and Liberty
Loan activities. We have a big task
in front of us, but know we are not
going to quit now and that the men
and women who have worked so earn
estly and effectively in this district
will continue to keep the wonderful
record of their communities and their
district untarnishcd.
"In lest analysis, the individuals
must do the work and finish the lob.

ton viii endeavor to help the people
on the firing line. We will do eyery-
thing we possibly can to show them
the necessity for leaning money to
their Government and to help convert
those who do not understand.
THE great mass Of people have
never fully realized the importa nes
and the value to individuals and n
good Government Of buying Savings
Stamps. Owing largely to the fact
that the Liberty Loan drives have &C.
cupied the center OF the stage tbe
smaller securities have seemed soma
what trivial This has never been the
right attitude and 1t Is more import
ant now than ever before that ve
should change our view point. The
TACT that Government Savings Stamps
can DO and are purchased by many
thousands OF people who are not AHA
to buy Liberty Bonds makes this form
OF security OF untold value to the Gov.
eminent. Right now the Government
needs large amounts Of cash for the
payment OF debts and the adyantase.
Gus settling OF war contracts. The
proceeds of the Fourth Liberty Loan
Bonds have been spent. A large pur.
chase OF Savings Stamps 1t this time
will give the Government the MONEY
1t needs and win do much toward
making certain permanent peace ana
prosperity in this and other countries
Of the world.
"A complete and progressive cam.
psisn OF education and for the sale q

tional direction. 1t was evident that
the campaign for the sale OF these
smaller securities had been a sort OF
hit or miss affair, good, bad, or indif
ferent, depending on the efficiency and
enthusiasm of local organizations
Several months ago 1t was decided to
put the sales organization of War
Savings Stamps in the hands OF L.
b. Franklin. national director Of four
successful Liberty Loan drives. His
official title thereupon became Direct
or OF the War Loan Organization and
he was given national charge of the
placing of the forms Of Government
securities mentioned above.
The Treasury Department delegated
to each Of the twelve governors Of
the Federal Reresrve banks the re-
sponsibility of building and putting In
to working order the necessary ma
chinery for the sale of all Government
securities in his district. The method
OF appointing these forces and Of or
ganizing them most efficiently was
left to the judgment of each bank gov
ernor.
Governor Theodore Void of the
Ninth Federal Reserve District has in
turn delegated the work Of organizing
and directing the Government securi-
ties sales forces to the Central Com.
mittee of the Ninth District Of which
A. r. Rogers OF Minneapolis Is the
executive head. This is the committee
which has been SO eminently sue
cessful during the last three Liberty
Loan drives and has placed the Ninth
leadership.
Two Distinct Organizations.

Liberty Loan organization. including
state. district, county and local chair
men and workers which numbers
nearly 10000 individuals viii be kept
intact to prepare and carry through
the Fifth Liberty Loan drive which
will be made some time In April. Dis
