Show FULL STAMP BOOK I DIE 01 1001! i - War Saving's Committee Is;: Making Every Effort to j Sell Quota. j Totlay the loeal war suviiigs eommit- j ; tee will hegi a eanipaign with the ob- ; ; jcet of having all purchasers of thrift j stamps fill their stamp boolis.. Hence, j j the slogan. "Fill your book." ;. Last Saturday many thousands cele.- ; bralcd Jiollar day by each buying one'j dollar's worth of stamps. This means I that there are spaces left on the books I for placing three more dollars' worlh of , stamps. The suggestion is made that i these books be filled as early as possl- j ble and then converted into baby bonds, which may be done with the payment of 3 cents. The bonds pay 4 per cent in- J terest and, it Js urged, would form the best kind of gifts at Christmas. '. To those who can afford more, the ' committee earnestly requests that they , purchase either bonds or thrift stamps J to the limit. Salt Lake City and county need. approximately. $I,2U0,0(J0 to fill j their quota by January t and, owing to j the time being so short, the fear pre- " vails that the district might fail to live up to all other performances in the nation's na-tion's behalf. Piute and Carbon counties still lead all others. Salt Lake, despite its great wealth, figures eighth on the per capita basis. It. is pointed out that there is no excuse for this, in that the individual here, taken on the average, earns more than in the outside districts. Therefore, the call now goes out for Salt Lake City and county not to be content in doing their "bit," but to do their utmost to save Utah's fair name, while the government, which safeguarded them dur ing the war, calls for the money necessary to bring the soldiers back from the battlefields. |
