CAMPAIGN TO SELL
MILLIONS THRIFT, w. s.

The Inauguration Of a campaign to sci
at least S25, 900, 600 worth Of Thrift anc
War Savings Stamps to people Of thu
Ninth Federal Reserve District between
now and January lst, 1920 was an
nounced today by Theodore Wold, GOV
ernor of the Ninth District Fedora
Reserve Bank.
Last year people Of this district bought
S53, 900, 600 worth Of stamps. So far il
1919, the sales have amounted to only
S2,52S, 900. This is considered very
poor showing in view of the fact that
the government needs tie money, and
is depending upon very much larger
sum from this source of revenue With
the Liberty Loans out of the way, those
in charge OF the War Savings work be
lieve that sales can be rapidly increased
and are working out plans for a com
prehensiye campaign to bring about this
result
In order to properly conduct the busi-
ness of the Government, the Treasury
Department will need to borrow consid-
erable sums Of money for some time to
come. Every cent realized from the
sale Of Thrift and War Savings Stamps
decreases the amount that it will be
necessary to get from the sale of certif.
Gates Of indebtedness and in other ways.
"There will be no district, county, nor
city allotments OF War Savings Stamps, "
said Mr.. Void. Nevertheless the Gov
ernment expects each community and
individual to do his full share in spend
ing wisely, saving carefully and invest
ing in Government Savings Stamps.
The campaign so far this year has been
conducted on the basis of thrft educa-
ton first and sales second Neither the
| Treasury Department nor the Ninth dis
trict organization have changed their
minds in regard to the vital Importance
Of teaching our people the value Of thrift
and the plan TO continue our efforts 10
induce the forming Of thrift habits, but
Treasury officials insist, and rightly so,
that the proof Of progress in the thrift
educational campaign is the sale of War
Savings Stamps. For this reason the
War Savings Organization all over the
United States is going 10 make an effort
10 increase sales, and since the Ninth
district is not in the habit Of tagging
behind the rest Of the country, We are
now devising ways and means to urge
people to save, and in addition, to invest
in government Savings Stamps.
The Ninth District War Savings Or
ganaation consists Of the central orgeni-
cation of Minneapolis and a county
organization and in every one of the 295
counties Of the district. Since before the
Victory Loan campaign there has been
comparatively little War Savings actiy-
ity, but those in charge are new working
to put the organic cation into shape to per-
form the big task of carrying on an in
tensive campaign Of THRIFT education and
stamp saleS.
