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. The cost will
advance one cent for each later month
they are bovffct One purcbaee* for
March will cost $4.14, in April $415.
mad so on. December of this year is
tbe last month they will be offered for

ernment will pay $#.00 for e*6ry War
Savings Stamp a person holds. One,
for instance, who has purchased 20
' stamps will receive $100, which fa a
profit of MM. ;
"At any time before maturity/ Jan
nary 1, IMS, postmasters will redeem
war savings stamps at the i-ate of 3
per cent Interest. If a holder finds that
