Washington, ID. c., Dec. 20.
~ ABY bonds worth from 10
X cents to $1,000 are being Of
fered for sale by the United
States Government to encourage
saving. In opening nationwide
campaign TO sell these bonds. Sec
retary of the Treasury Mellon ex-
planned:
There can be NO question about
the need fer saving, nor OF this
country's capacity to save. By
Offering uniform and compre-
hensive means Of accommodating
and investing money, tho Gov
ernment hopes to furnish an in
centive for saving, to encourage
savings and investment in Gov
ernment securities, and at the
same time to stimulate savings
activities generally.
An active response to the
Governments savings movement
should accomplish three main
objects: (1) It will aid the Gov
ernment In the current financing
Of its requirements; (2) It will
make for greater national pros
perity; (8) It will increase the
personal happiness and indi-
vidual welfare of those who save.

Government bonds. Furthermore. NO
person or investor. under tho law. may
own more than $4,000 worth OF any OF
these issues. Banks are reported to be
buying to their full quotas.
Sale Of the new bonds began December
Is through the thousands OF post offices
throughout the United States. Demand
for the bonds astonished all Government
officials. In practically every section
the post offices sold their entire first
ailotments within twenty-four hours.
Before s,Indown of the opening day
more than 100 postmasters telographed
to Washington asking for more stamps
and bonds.
It was this extraordinary demand for
the savings stamps and certificates I'M
medlately after they were placed on
sale that caused Director Lester Of the
savings division Of the Treasury Depart
rnent to predict that moro than $780,
100000 worth will be sold this year.
THE total sales may run as high as
$500, 900, 000." said Mr.. Lester. There
never was such demand for the war
savings stamps. Last year we sold
only about S30.000.000 worth Of these
small Government securities. It was
rather disappointing to tho Government.
The unprecedented demand for the new
issues more than makes UP for any
disappointment because the war savings
and thrift stamps failed to sell az
largely as expected"
Sale of the war savings stamps and
thrift stamps, begun during the war,
will be entirely discontinued to make
room for the new baby bonds, Mr.. Les
ter said.
The campaign to sell the baby bonds
Is being pushed by every branch Of the
Government through thousands Of post
offices. postal officials. mail carriers
and employees and officials OF the Gov
ernment generally. The Treasury De-
partment heads emphasize that q word
to the mail carrier will bring to your
door baby bond Of any denomination
desired from 10 cents to $1,000.
1t is planned to bring to the attention
of every individual in tho United States
the chance to invest surplus funds in
Government bonds, which are being
bought at the rate Of millions monthly
by largo investors in the form Of Treas
ury certificates of indebtedness. Treas
ury savings certificates are exactly like
Treasury certificates of Indebtedness
except that the former mature in five
years instead of I'm a few months.

More than $100.000,000 worth Of
"baby bonds will be sold this year by
the Federal Government, Orrin c..
Lester, director Of the Treasury De-
partment Savings Division, predicted
to-day.
Baby bonds, new issues Of which are
Just being offered by the Government
to encourage peace time thrift. can be
purchased for as low as 10 cents each.
Millions Of children are expected to
save their pennies and loan them to
the Government through the medium
of the baby bond issues.
Secretary Mellon, who is one OF the
richest men in America and one OF tho
busiest members of the Cabinet Of Pres
ident Harding. is giving personal atten-
tion to the offerings Of bonds. Postmas
ter-General Hays is assisting Secretary
Mellon. President Harding. through
these officials. approved the baby bond
Issues before they were offered publicly.
The highest officials of the United States
Government are cooperating in a nation
wide campaign to encourage thrift and
saving among all the people OF tho
United States and especially among the
children of the United States.
There are five varieties OF the So
called baby bonds, some of which, how
ever are based on sums large enough to
attract the dollars of adults. First, OF
course, comes the 10 cent savings stamp.
designed to encourage children to de-
yelop habits of thrift. These can be pur-
chased at any post office. With the first
stamp purchased goes little book with
places for ten stamps, worth. when filled.
just 81. The plan of the Government Is
to encourage the purchase of books and
stamps until book is filled, at which
time 1t can be exchanged for 81 Treas
ury savings stamp. This Is a real, sure
enough Government bond, like the Lib
erty bond. only issued in a small denom-
ination. Next comes the $25 Treasury
savings certificate, then the $100 GER
tificate and finally tho $1,000 certificate.
Tho Government now is selling at dis
count all these bonds except the 10 cent
stamp and the 81 stamp. The s25 GER
tificate sells for 500. the 500 certificate
for $50 and the $1,000 certificate for
$500. In five years the Government
plans to buy back all of these bonds at
their face value, yielding a good profit
to the original purchaser. The yield Is
at the rate of Az per cent. compounded
semi-annually.
Only the ten cent stamps and tho 81
stamps bear no interest. They are issued
merely for convenience and with the
idea of encouraging the investment IN
