RED CROS

In order not to detract even i ca
elightly from the forthcoming
erty loan campaign, the War Council I re
of the American Ked Cross has post- co
poned the campaign to raise the sec- all
ond war relief fund of $100,000,000
to the week of May 20 from the week
of May 6th, as was originally intend- po
ed, it was announced in Washington Ge
today. ! W
This action fixes the date of the.be
second Red Cross campaign eleven i Ar
months after the first, which was mi
started on June 18. 1917. The war! Oil
council had been appointed by Presi- |
dent Wilson only five weeks prior to cis
the beginning of this campaign, so Wi
that its first great task was to pro-' cil
vide means for carrying on relief po
work during the war on a scale com- pa
mensurate with the military opera- lat
tions. evi
More than $100,000,000 was con- TI<
tributed in response to the first call Ya
for financial aid and contributions'
plus interest brought the total re- of
ceipts from the first drive up to Yo
$105,099,257. Of this amount. mc
$17,006,121 was refunded to Red ha
Cross chapters for local relief work. Mi
r>f iho hnhinco S77 7 2 1 <118 h.is hv
been appropriated leaving a balance res
of $10,371,217 available for appro- ret
priation. France has received ap- Impropriations
amounting to more than
thirty millions. During the week of
(preceding Christmas the Red Cross P.
conducted a membership drive which Ky
resulted in the enrollment of approx- N.
Imately 22,000.000 new members, offi

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS let
ARE FREE FROM TAX
Stamps Are Free From Federal,
State or I.<ocal Taxation?Pav
Good Interest.
One of the advantages of the war
savings stamps as an investment is r<)
that they are not subject to taxation. on
The following statement in reference ,0
to this feature has been issued by the ,j(
war savings committee: l py
"When preparing for the issuing of lo,
Thrift Stamps ami War Savings Certificates,
the national administration
very wisely decided that they would
not be subject to any taxes?federal,
tate or local. In this respect, they
are entirely unique, being free whin
almost everything else of value is subject
to impost.
"As the amount that an individual
may hold is limited to $1,000, this concession
does not deal unjustly toward '
other security holders. It is simply
an inducement to the small investor
to make an unusual effort in his own
country's behalf by depositing as
asuch of his surplus with the government
as possible. Those who buy
these little bonds?and all should do
it?should understand in advance of
the coming days of taxation return in
April that whatever of their earned
savings or surplus derived from economics
is converted into Thrift
Stamps and War Savings Certificates
need not be recorded upon the assessor's
blank. As the interest and principal
are payable in 1H23. neither is it
necessary to make mention of the investments
in the return to the income
tax collector.
"They are. as stated, absolutely free
and. as they also pay 4 per cent, com

HERE'S HOW
i
There are many persons who
have an uncomfortaMe feeling
that they are not helping the
nation in this time of crisis.
They can not for various rea
sons enter the military or naval
service of the country, or do
other work that would help the
government In prosecuting the
war against the Huns, a: I yet
they want to help. There le a
solution to this problem which
troubles many earnest patriots
Those who Invest in war savings
and war thrift stamps are
actively aiding the government.
They are placing at tha disposal
of the government not merely
money, but the goods and aer- I
vicen that the money can buy |
and use in properly supplying
and equipping our army and
navy. Joining a War Savlnge
Socitey makes saving easy. The j
government pays interest at tha '
rate ' 4 per rent, per annum,
compounded quarterly.
