PROBLEM CF LABOR AND MATERIAL CONFRONTS NATION'S WAR LEADERS *. Q. Rh.tt, Returning from Washington, Urgos Necessity of ? Refraining from Buying Luxuries and Investing In War Savings Stamps, i .... t euton, s. (J.*** Washington l? humming with wAr activities," stated H. Uoodwyu Hhett, who has boon iu the country's capital for two weeks, during which time he bus had confer ences with the secretary- of the treas wry, W. (J. M^cAdoo and other treasury officials lu regard to the war savings campaign in South Carolina. Mr. Hhett was uppointed director of war Havings for South Carolina by Secretary Mc Adoo und ho ban been to Washington several occasions in order to get in close touch with the national head quarters. War preparations are going stead ily ahead," further stated Mr. Hhett. The t hief problem facing the authori ties Is that of getting sufficient labor and material to provide tho complete equipment and the supplies necessary for maintaining the efficiency of our ?troops. To provido for the soldiers properly requires the services of mil. lions of men and women in manufac turing supplies, and naturally requires a tremendous amount of raw material which, like the labor, has heretofore been used for producing the necessi ties and luxuries purchased by the American men, women, and children. It is recognized in Washington that if tho American public persists in pur chasing needless luxuries as in peace times, tho work of equipping our armies is to bo seriously hampered. Asked Not to Buy Luxuries. "In order to moot this grave prob lem, the government is asking the patriotic millions of non-combatant Americans to back up the soldiers by refraining from the purchase of need less luxuries ? articles not absolutely necessary to health and efficiency? and thus release to the government the labor and material which must be had if the war is not to be prolonged at the cost of billions of dollars and thousands of lives. The government is therefore asking us to lend It the , monoy which ws would otherwise spend for needless luxuries. "This is being accomplished through a method which has won not only the Immediate favor of the general public but which has won the unreserved ap proval of leaders of all elefnents of the publifc? farming; banking, labor ing. aiid commercial. The solution to this grave problem of war labor and supplies has been found in War Sav ings Stamps. ?Jin offering War Savings Stamps to the public the Uplted States govern ment hafc made immediately available for Qvery man, woman and child In the country a profitable, patriotic, simple, and secure investment. What They Are. -"War Savings Stamps, like the "Lib erty Bonds, have behind them the en tire resources of the government and the people of the United States. They may be bought outright for cash, or ?a the installment plan. V On the ^'Installment" Plan. "Tliey are sold on the 'Installment' plan through the medium of the 26 eent thrift stamps. Any bank, post office, or other authorized sale4 agency will furnish a thrift card, which con tains space tor 16 thrift stamps. These can be purchased any time, and wfien 16" afe stuck to the c-ard this card, .plus 13c additional during Feb ruary, will be exchanged for a War Savings SUmp. The War Savings Stamp which has thus cost $4.13 will ^be redeemed January 1, 1923, for $5.00, which represents the original purchase price plus Interest at the rate of 4 pe cent. per annum, compounded quar terly. , Patriotism Plus Profit. "War Savings Stamps can be prtr ofcased outright for cash for $4.13 each during February.
