Show W. S. S. NOTES (D. A. Fowler of Huntington, recently re-cently appointed secretary to Edw. G. Geary, county director of the Thrift and War Savings stamp campaign in Emery county, submits the following very intelligent notes. We were obliged oblig-ed to omit them from last week's is-ue is-ue for lack of space. Ed.) Hush, little Thrift Stamp, Don't you cry, You'll be a War Bond By and by. Our allotment for Thrift Stamps is $5.00 for every man, woman and child In the country. Can we do it? Sure we can do it. There are thousands of ground dogs in our country pleading with all their lusty lung power for boys to come and take their heads, collect the bounty, and buy Thrift Stamps with the money. Sixteen Thrift stamps plus fifteen cents buys a War bond worth five dollars in 1923. Almost everything you can raise in your war garden is readily turned into in-to money by the peddlers. Where is there a country as easy to raise chickens in? And where is there a better market for eggs and chicks? With so many boys at the front, all the boys and girls will have plenty of chance to work for sameone and earn a War bond before the summer has gone. You farmers who will need hire help! You peddlers buying the produce of the war gardens! The county who will pay the bounty on the ground dogs! Why not everyone get some Thrift stamps on hand to pay for the things you need. They are better than money and would save trouble to the people in buying them. What does the war mean to you? How are you helping to win it? The boys in France will give their lives in vain unless we do our part at home. Here is one 'way to help and six reasons for it j SAVE! ! 1st Because, when you save you help the boys in France to win the war. 2d Because, when you spend you make other people work for you, and the work of everyone Is wanted now to help our fighting men, or to produce pro-duce necessaries, or to make goods for export. 4th Because, by going without things and confining your spending to necessaries you relieve the strain on our ships and docks and railways and make transport cheaper and quicker, j 5th Because, when you spend you I make things dearer for everyone, es- j peclally for those who are poorer than j you. , 6th Because, every dollar saved is j a double-barreled shot at the Kaiser. One shot hits him when you don't spend it, and the other hits him when you lend it to the nation. Buy a War Saving stamp now for $4.15. The government pays you four per cent interest on It, compounded every three months, and will pay you $5.00 for this stamp in 1923. It is the simplest and best government govern-ment security. Put your "slacker" quarters at work. w. s. s. |
