HOLD WAR SECURITIES.
Eastern Business Men Issue Warning
. Against Parting With Government
Bonds and w. 8. 8,

That it is = bad business propos!-
tion for any merchant to encourage
holders of War Savings Stamps to
exchange them for merchandise Is the
opinion of a group Of eastern business
men, who recently discussed this
question at their annual convention.
Such action Kierely helps fake pro-
inoters and dishonest brokers m their
effort to shake public confidence in
government bonds as an investment" "
said one OF the speakers. 1T IS Ia
mentable that they have worked to an
alarming degree among the poor and
among ignorant people Of this coan-
try"
The two hundred delegates attend
ing the gathering were SO impressed
with the necessity for keeping War
Savings Stamps in the hands or the
original purchasers that each pledged
to go back home and constitute him
self the head Of vigilance commit
tee to oppose the offering or merchaa-
disc for government securities.

President Wilson has asked for food

ligent person doubts the valus Of food
as iarst aid, but at bottom the secur-
ity Of our institutions rests upon the
working interest the people take In
those institutions, iar rt' .,
Citixeno having no interest In . gov

be the first victims Of vicious propa.

rists. On the other hand men and
women who have invested In their
government either Sy way Of conduct
ing private enterprise under Its pro-
lection or through direct purchase OF
government securities have something
at stake and desire to maintain stable
institutions. Such persons are not
necessarily reactionists. They may
be quite progressive and anxious for
reform where reform is needed.
Consequently the effective barrier
to Bolsheyism In America today Is
thrift and investment. The philosophy
must reach into the workshops Of the
nation. II Is reaching into those work
shops and into the schoolhouses Of the
nation in the form Of the Thrift
Stamp and the War Savings Stamp.
When everybody in America is buy
Ing Thrift and War Savings Stamps as

financial and patriotic duty Of every
American who loves real liberty to

The following table Will be OF serv-
ice to the individual who plans to
save systematically throughout the
year by means OF War Savings
Stamps. The stamps draw four par
cent interest compounded quarterly.
Each 1919 War Savings Stamp was
worth last January s4.t2. Each stamp,
because of the interest that is cont
pounded, costs one cent more each
month, So that next January it will
cost S4.24 and at the end OF five years
it will bN worth S..
Thrift Stamps are Of the denomi-
nation OF 25 cents and are the means
by which one may accumulate small
savings until a sufficient amount is
saved to purchase War Savings
Stamp. They are invaluable for the
thrifty saver who can lay aside only
a small amount at time.
