S.,War Savings Stamps Are Free From Federal. State Or Local Taxation-iPay Good Interest. One of the advantages of the war aarings stamps as an investment is that they' are not subject to taxation. The following statement in reference to this feature has been Issued by the war savings committee: “When preparing for the issuing of Thrift Stamps and War Savings Cer tificates. the national administration very wisely decided that they would not be subject to any taxes—federal, etate or local. ' In this respect, they are entirely unique, being free when almost everything elaa of value ia sub ject to impost. “As the amount that an individual «nay hold is limited to fl.OOO, this con cession does not deal unjustly toward other security holders.. It Is simply aa inducement to the small investor to make An unusual effort in his own country’s behalf by depositing aa much of his surplus with the govern ment ha possible. Those who buy4 the quantity 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 eco nomies is converted into Thrift Stamps and War Savings Certificates need not be -recorded upon the assess or's blank.

"Naturally, the high price has helped a great deal, but the real reason for the money being In the farmer's pock et or bank is that when the 1917 cot ton crop was made the farmer owned 4t Instead of-owing It to supply mer chant at the end of the season, as was usually the case In times past. Never before had,the farmers of the South come as close to feeding themselves, their families and their live stock from their own Wes as iii 1917. They had need of few store purchases '.and made few or no debts.” "If the 1917 crop had been made on the old basis* of plant all cotton and buy all food at present prices there would be supply merchant prosperity, but little or none on the farms.”^ “Naturally, the temptation is great to increase cotton acreage and ~ de crease food and grain acreage in 1918. The man who does it is foolish. The whole world is short of food and this l condition will not only continue hut get w-orse as long 'els the (war lasts. 1 Continued high prices for food Is as cer tain as sunrise each morning*.’’_ “Real money-in-hand farm prosper '! ity is. absolutely dependent on the growing on one’s own acres of all the food, meat, grain and forage needed for hom^ needs. Once that is provid ed for, eyery other available acre can shfoly be planted in cotton or otlier cash crop- The larger part of the cost of making cotton dr other cash crop is in tfie. food, grain an'd f6rag6 c-»i:. \i: ed in making it. ■*• “These items ‘home made* ran ba * produced at 4 from one-third on^ half ih.o price the merchant ch* s hivl home production of them mean± jujt that much reduction, in the cost-' cfLm king the cash crop. ’ - l *ri). prosperity in_.th* South can p.nj will be ij«rmanent juit ns dam: as our. farmers pon‘!pue tlreir farm oper arioa^. on ^'hou-c- made’ hfau*” W. 8. 8.

HERE’S HOW There are many persons who have an uncomfortable feeling that they are. not helping the nation In this time of crisis. They can not for various reg ions enter the military or naval service of the country, or do other work that wijuld help the govd’himent in prosecuting the war against the Huns, and yet they want to help. There is a solution to this, problem which troubles qaany earnest patriots. Those who invent in war *sav- ings and war thrift stamps are actively aiding the government. They are placing at the disposal of the government not merely money, but the good* and ser vices that the money Van htjy and use in properly supplying and equipping our army and navy.
