rOsTMAsTERs ASKED TO
 AID IN THRIFT CAMPAIGN

Special effort and special results in the thrift and savings campaign for the bal ance of the years are asked in this dis trict of New England by F. c. Ayers, as- sociate director of savings. He makes his appeal in the following letter to post masters. of which Postmaster John P. Murphy has received a copy:
 My Dear Postmaster: With only three months of 1920 ahead of ns, I believe l am right in thinking it is your earnest desire to accomplish some really big re- suits in the Thrift and Savings campaign for the balance of the year.
 The postmasters of our district have thus far this year made a record to be proud of. and it is our hope that the fol- lowing suggestions will be of assistance to you:
 Schools: School pupils are among our best saving patrons. To every school principal in your town the government savings division is regularly sending les sons for the use of the teachers in in- structing their pupils about thrift, sav- ings, and thrift stamps and W. S. S. One of the most important things you can do is to let the school authorities in your town know that you wish to CO operate with them, and encourage tc | greater efforts the principal or teachers who may not have fully recognized the importance of thrift savings education l It is highly important that thrift stamp: and W. s. s. be on sale at the school l house, if possible. Won't you and the school superintendent get together ant ] make some arrangement so that the | stamps can be kept at the school hous l or taken to the school house for sale, a | least one day each week? Many post 1 masters and school superintedents hay worked out plans together, and it ha always resulted in the children being in | terested in saving, and large purchase | of stamps made by them No greate service have you rendered than that whic | will lead to the instruction of the schoo children of your community in the grea principles of success. which are Thrif | and Saving.
 Banks-Please make it a point to Sc your banks and get each one of ther
 to put in stock of $50 or s100 worth o
 thrift stamps and W. S. S. your office wi
 receive credit for these sales. Also pleas
 see that our advertising matter is prom
 inently displayed, and if the banks hay
 none let Us know so that we may sen a supply.
 Hundred Dollar Prospects: Remembe
 fall crop money is coming in and lot of people have funds to invest Firs
 and second class postmasters are urged 1 | canvass as many such investors as DO!
 sible for S100 treasury savings certified tt
 in October. All third and fourth clas postmasters are asked to send me {;
