UNCLE SAM AND THE THRIFT
STAMP.

During 1919 the servants of Uncle
Sam, the mail carriers, both city and
rural, will be asked to help in the big
Thrift campaign which will be
launched quietly, but thoroughly,
throughout the country.
In Wisconsin it is felt that while
all the mail carriers are on the Uncle
Sam payroll they should be willing
and in most cases they are willing
to push the sale of War Savings and
Thrift stamps to their utmost selling
power.
The mail carrier gets an opportu-
nifty to push the idea of Thrift that no
one else in the business world can
come up to- At least once week he
visits each home on his rsute, and it
is a comparatively easy matter for him
to leave reading matter designed to
push the message of Thrift to the
fore, and to later realize on his eff
forts and sell stamps to each of his
Customers
In Wisconsin the mail carriers are
thoroughly organized for this sort of
help for the government, and each
takes pride in trying to sell a larger
number of stamps per week than the
man on the next route.
It is Uncle Sans job, and each mail
carrier appreciates this and is doing
his own noble part.

New Paw DaV Plans.

A new pay day system is to be in
augurated, system which, in the opin-
ion of A. Barton Hepburn, ex-comp-
troller of the United States treasury,
is advisable because "along the line
of teaching thrift" The new system
will arrange for every working man
and woman to have bank account,
into which his regular salary will be
paid. This will save time for the
worker and help him to save money
by rendering it easy and convenient
to draw out only what is needed. Reg
ular purchase of War Savings Stamps
is helping the WORKING rank and file
to value small savings. 1t is possible
that the employing firm, under the new
arrangement, will pay each worker in
terest on whatever salary money is
left undraWn.
