HOW TO GET INTEREST ON
YOUR POCKET CHANGE.
The Liberty Loan Ponds we
heard so much about a few
weeks ago were issued in
denominations ranging from
fifty dollars up, and the small
investor telt that this was not
intended for him. Now, however,
the government is work
ing out a plan for the benefit of
the small investor or wage
earner. Beginning on Decern
ber 1st the government will
offer war savings certificates to
the public, with a view to
giving every man, woman and
child a chance to help finance
the war. These certificates or
stamps will be put on sale at the
various post offices, banks and
stores for the convenience of
the people. These stamps will
be nothing less than the govern
ment's note for five dollars, just
as good as any greenback in
the world, and will be sold
for $4.12. This five dollar obli
gation is due January 1. 1923.
W....? J:
i iic uujci uiseuuming me
government's note at 4 per cent
interest, compounded quarterly.
In other words Uncle Sam says
to each person in Pageland and
Chesterfield county and elsewhere,
"Loan me $4.12 and I'll!
pay you 4 per cent interest, and
compound it quarterly, so that
when the note is due on lanu
ary 1, 1923 I'll pay \ou S3 00'
back. I need the money to
prosecute the war, and I know !
I can count on your help."
* But I may need the money
before it's due," the citizen
might reply.
"That,s all right," says Uncle
Sam, "I have arranged for that.
II you ne^d the money, go to
any oneof n.y many post offices
and get all ion loaned mo with
one cent a month, added for
interest. 1 thought you might
need it back some time so I
have arranged for any ol my
postmasters to pay you hack
with inter*.st added if you will
oiilvrgiv- ium ten days notice
so he .v: . have the money
ready "

If veu exchange the silver or
greenback for a war-savings
stamp it will hear your name,
and no one else can collect it
without forging your name.
The money in your pocket
hears no interest arid helps no
one until it is spent. The stamp
bears .interest every day, and
your money is aiding the government
that protects you.
The war news for several
days has been more encourag
ing. The British broke the
famous Ihndenburg line last
week, and have pushed on and
now are within three miles of
Cambrai, a fort the Germans
can ill afford to loose. The
Italians have held out valiantly
and have been reinforced by the
French and English. The great
danger there seems to have
passed. i ne announcement
was made a few days ago of the
capture of a German sub by
American patrol boats after the
sub had been so badly damaged
that it soon sank. The British
in Palestine are closing in on
Jerusalem, and the fall of the
ancient and historic citv may
come at any time. The only
dark side to the situation is that
the Russians have apparently decided
to fight no more for the
Allies. It is to be hoped that
thev will not fight against them
either.
Tuberculosis week is to be
observed in South Carolina dur
ing the week beginning Decern
her 2nd and ending December
9lh. Pastors of all churches,
both colored and white, are ask
ed to preach a special sermon
on tunercuiosis either Deceml)er
2nd or December 9th. Some
data on this disease and a pray
er for use on either o. these
Sundays may he obtained from
any Red Cross Agent or Red
Cross Society in tiie county.
All teachers are asked to ob
serve December 7th as tubercu
losis day in the schools. A
story on tuberculosis to be lead
to the school children by the
teacher may be obtained from
the County Superintendent of
R location or any Red Cross
Seal agent.
