day. Any lack Of results in the past
has been due to the fact that there
has been no central direction and no
we'll organized, continuous plan for
the sale Of these securities AS we
have planned the organization, which
will be directed after the first of Jan
uary by Mr.. Rogers, we are certain
that results will be obtained with
much less effort and without friction
which developed in some localities
during the past year.
"The Treasury Department at Wash
tngton is working out complete and
scientific national campaign to In.
duce thrift and the investment OF say
ings 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,
tons in this territory.
eve appreciate the enthusiasm and
loyal efforts of the men and women
who have worked untiringly to effect
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, it will be
necessary to put more steam behind
the sale of Government Savings
Stamps than ever before. The Gov
eminent expects to realize $G,000,000,
900 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 is a paramount
duty"
Northwest Will Not Fail.
"The people of the Northwest have
never failed to respond to any cal 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; eff
did not have entire faith in the loyal
ty of the people of the Ninth District
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 untarnished.

WHAT YOUR MONEY is WORTH
Comparative Value Of Coins Of Diff
ferent Countries of the World q
Explained.

How much is a franc? A ruble? A
mark? To be we'll posted man should
be familiar with the money in circula-
ton in foreign lands, observes the Co.
lumbus Dispatch. And If the man Is
Of military age or inclination there Is
no telling how soon he may be called
upon to exchange his perfectly good
American dollars for the medium or
circulation in France, England, Russia,
Germany or other European countries
OF course values are changing al
most daily, as regards the exchange
of foreign money for Uncle Sans dol
lars, but under ordinary conditions 1t
can be figured that in Germany the
mark is worth 23.8 cents in United
States money. The German thaler Is
equal to three marks, and the krone "a
gold piece) equals ten marks. In Eng
land the sovereign (gOld) is worth a.
SG65, a pound sterling; the penny
equals two of our cents, the crown
$1.21 and the shilling "a cents.
It is interesting to note that the
franc of France (wOrth 1913 cents) Is
also the unit of currency in Belgium
and Switzerland, and that it is equal
to the peseta Of Spain, and Ira OF
Italy, the drachma of Greece, the leu
of ROumania, the dinar of Serbia and
the bolivar of Venezuela. The Rus
sian ruble, normally, is worth OLD
cents, the plaster Of Turkey "A cents
the Japanese yen 1913 cents, the Mexi'
can peso (siIver) 1913 cents and the
Chinese tael Is cents to 83 cents
And there's no wonder that "Chinese
monee" is tossed about so carelessly
for the copper cash (China's monetary
unity is worth a United States dollar

ular coin) is cheap. An American

on the firing line. We will do every
thing we possibly can to show them
the necessity for loaning money to
their Government and to help convert
those who do not understand.
''The great mass Of people have
never fully realized the Importance
and the value to individuals and to
good Government of buying Savings
Stamps. Owing largely to the fact
that the Liberty Loan drives have oc-
cupied the center of the stage the
smaller securities have seemed some
what trivial. This has never been the
right attitude and it is more import
ant now than ever before that we
should change our view point. The
fact that Government Savings Stamps
can be and are purchased by many
thousands Of people who are not able
to buy Liberty Bonds makes this form
Of security of untold value to the Gov
eminent. Right now the Government
needs large mounts Of cash for the
payment of debts and the advantage
Gus settling Of war contracts. The
proceeds of the Fourth Liberty Loan
Bonds have been spent. A large pur-
chase of Savings Stamps at this time
will give the Government the money
it needs and will do much toward
making certain permanent peace and
prosperity in this and other countries
Of the world.

paign Of education and for the sale Of
War Savings Stamps now and Liberty

tional direction. It 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 it 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
30h hoa
cessful during the last three Liberty
Loan drives and has placed the Ninth
District in an enviable position of
leadership.
Two Distinct Organizations.
Mr.. Rogers announces that the old
Liberty Loan organization, including
state, district, county and local chair
men and workers which numbers
nearly 10000 individuals will be kept
intact to prepare and carry through
the Fifth Liberty Loan drive which
will be made some time in April. Dis
tinct from this organization, yet
part of it as far as district direction
is concerned will be the old War Saw
ings Stamp state organizations Of
Montana, Minnesota, North Dakota,
South Dakota, Northern Wisconsin
and Northern Michigan. These state
organizations will also be kept intact
as far as possible and will form the
nucleus of the Government Savings
Stamp Division Of the Ninth District
War Loan Organization.
The personnel Of the Ninth District
War Loan Organization that will have
supervision over the sale of these
Government securities during 1919 lie
as follows:
A. R. Rogers, Chairman Central
Committee; Homer P. Clark, Vice
Chairman Central Committee; Benz.
