To Inculcate the spirit of thrift among employees, the Schram m-Johnson Drug company of Salt Lake several weeks since submitted a plan to the 126 employees of thefirm that is working out admirably. There are four savings clubs or units among the employees who are buying war savings stamps. For every dollar that the members save during a week, the firm gives in addition 2i5 cents, so that the saving is $1.25.' The plan is the first of its kind to be put into use in Salt Lake, and means a goodly sum from the firm, for the savings of the employees run into a good many dollars every week, and all the savings go into war savings stamps.

Members of war savings associations in Salt Lake will begin an intensive campaign cam-paign on June 10 to secure pledges for the allotment of stamps for Salt Lake county.
