SAVINGS STAMPS

He will urge the investment of the little sums in war savings stamps.
 Only the form of the war savings stamp will differ from that of the 1919 issue treasury officials tell us. The color will be carmine instead of green, and the stamp will bear the head of George Washington. This fact, in- terpreted, might mean that the coun- try's thrift army is going to do some thing for it's country, that George did so much for so many years ago. The size of the stamp will be a trifle larger than that of 1919, and they will be payable at.any postoffice in the coun-
