The douerai (Sovornntoni has just made public ligures which show that on November th, which was tho date on which the llrst installment on Liberty Loan Monds was due, approx mntely $2,100,000,000 was paid in. although less than a third of that amount was due. Tn oilier words, nearly two-thirds of the aggregate subscript ions to the Second Liberty Loan havOvpeen paid in full, the pur chaser.-: not availing themselves of the right to walt until December 15 and January l? to make their other payments. Our people aro beginning to recog nize anti to appreciate the value of these gilt-edge securities, which are in reality nothing moro nor less than loans to our govern mon I io llnance a war ol' righteousness in order to hiing' lasting peace to the whole world, and (o bring an end to autoc racy and militarism. HERE'S ANOTHER CHANCE. Everybody these days wants lo "help win the war" by doing his or her bil in the groat undertaking ol' tinnncillg the gigantic undertaking. Many found (hat they could not pur chase Liberty Hoads of even small denominations. Hut all can now help Hie govern nient, and ai the same time help themselves. Thrift Stamps and War Saving Certificates are now on sale, and through this avenue each citizen of tho country, however mod est may be his circumstances, may lind a na> lo 1 clp Uncle Sam. Thrill Sta mp % are sold at '-'"ie. each, and when enough ol' these 2fiC. Thrill stamps have been accumulated ?hey can be exchanged for a War Sa\infc Certificate. The present price of the War Saving Corllileate is $1.12, and ibis certificate will be redeemable January 1st, 102:!. at its \ abie then, with accrued Interest -$T>.00. The government antic? pales revenue to Ibo amount of $2, 000,000 ann from the saje of these stamps and certificates, And thc beauty of Ibis plan lies not so much In the $2.not).?ino,000 reve nue as In the fact that the people of small means will have accumulated $2,000,000.Ont? in savings that would otherwise have gone for nothing of value. This is tho great lesson that we Americans-the most wasteful people on the face of the earth need just at this time. Wo need to learn to save out of our abundance. We have so much that wo do not re alize our constant waste. Regln to save now, and "help win the war" at tho samo tinto. Even the children should wake up to this Op portunity to save and to serve. When you feel Inclined to waste a quarter, just remember that every dollar counts those days, and that lt takes only four quarters to make a dollar. Go to your postmaster and lot him explain anything you don't under stand about thc Thrift Stamps and War Having Certificate?. These stamps and cor ti Acates are now on sale at the post olllcea at Walhalla and every other point in our county; rural carriers will supply them on request, and the village carriers will also be in position to accommodate their patrons at all times with these stamps and certificates, Your Uncle Sam has tho interest of every citizen--child and adult at heart. There ls absolut? ly lot one reason for any one to was,, money except that some may just prefer to waste lt rather than invest it profit ably and help fully. Don't be a waster - save and help. Seo your postmaster, rural carrier or vi Iago mull carrier. Do it now! Buy something worth while.
