FOOD is cure FOR BOLSHEVISM flr?t Aid Troatment Splendid Medl clne for Spirit of Unrest. How VV?r Saving# Stamp* Help. . A. - President Wilson ha a asked tor food to stop the wave of Bolshevism roll ing westward out of Russia. No Intel ligent person doubts thA value of food u a first aid, but at bottom tiie secur ity of our institutions rests upon the working Interest the people take in those Institutions. Citizens having no Interest in a gov ernment. no economic Interest In 'the iQccess of that government, are apt to be the first victims of vlolous propa ganda or unbalanced political theo riits. On the other hand men and womeu who have invested In their government either by way of conduct ing private enterp-ise under Its pro tection or through direct purchase of government securities have something it stake and' desire to maintain stable Institutions. Such persons are not necessarily reactionists. They may be quite progressive and anxious for reform where reform is needed. Consequently the effective barrier to Bolshevism 1? America today is thrift and investment. The philosophy must repch into the workshops of the nation. It is reaching Into those work shops and into the schoolhouses of the nation in the form of the Thrift Stamp and the War Savings Stamp, When everybody In America is buy ing Thrift and War Savings Stamps as a habit one won't hear much about Bolshevism In America. It Is the financial and patriotic duty of every American who loves real liberty to get the Thrift Stamp habit NOW. HOLD WAR SECURITIES. Eastern Business Men Issue Warning Against Parting With Government Bonds and W. S. 8. That it is a bad business proposi tion for any merchant to encourage holders of War Savings Stamps to exchange them for merchandise is the opinion of a group of eastern business nien, who recently discussed this question at their annual convention. "Such action merely helps fake pro moters and distoonost brokers in their effort to shake public confidence in government bonds as an investment," laid one of the speakers. "It is la mentable that they have worked to an alarming degree among the poOi\ and among ignorant people of this coun try." The two hundred delegates attend "ing the gathering were so Impressed with the necessity for keeping War Savings Stamps In the hands ?t the original purchasers that each hedged to go back home and constitute him self the head of a vigilance commit tee to oppose the offering of merchan dise for government securities. TO ENCOURAGE THRIFT j t Schools Called Upon by Treasury Department to Make Saving Happy Habit. Through the government saving* di rectors of the twelve federal reserve districts, the Savings Division of the United States Treasury Department has called upon the normal schools, colleges and uaiversitles of the coun try to aid in the government cam paign to make thrift a happy habit The American Council on Education, representing institutions of higher learning throughout the; country, haa joined with the Savings Division to secure the co-operation of the schools. The plan evolved by the Savings Di vision and the Council on Education contemplates the creation of thrift or ganisations in each of the normal schools, colleges and universities, to teach the basic principles of Intelli gent saving ? wise buying, sane spending, safe investment and avoid ance of waste, and to aid in featuring the advantage of Thrift Stamps and War Savings Stamps as the ideal la vestment for small savings. Through the American Council on Education, the presidents of the institutions ol hlffher learning have been urged to name Institutional thrift representa tives, who will co-operate with the lo oal savings organizations. This has been done in most caseB. The educa tional institutions are expected to have a large influence in the move ment to make the United States a nation of intelligent savers. WORLD'S HISTORY IN RE SUME PROVES W. S. S. WILL PAY. One thing we know as we pursue the history of antiquity, from time* when Noah was the news, of Baby lon's Iniquity, down through the da^i when Caesar's ghost was haunting Brutus in his bed, is this. The spender^ shouted most, but nearly all of them were hlad. Whereas the lad whe never flung sestercea to the Forum crowd was never immaturely hung not measured for an early shroud. Thii bit of ancient sophistry has now ita modern counterpart, and more and more it's 'boritfe on me how splendid is the saving art ? the art of mind ing one's affairs and watching little things increase. It rids the future of its cares, shows profit on our elbow grease. Today when W. S. S. you read upon a hanging Bign, you know the man sell Thrlftiness, a virtue once quite hard to find. I do not thanl the war for much, but this I've learn ed, and learned it proper, when soma one tries to make a "touch" a Thrift Stamp makes an A-l stopper. Watch your nickels and the dollar* will take care of themselves. Small leaks sink big ships ? stop them with W. S. S. table shows how money multiplies Trifle More Thwi One Hundred Dol lar Monthly for Eight Month? Will Grow Into Thousand Dol lars^ by January 1, 1924. The following table will be of serv ice to the individual who plana to save systematically throughout the year by means of War Savings Stamps. The stamps draw four per cent interest compounded quarterly. Bach ] 91 9 War Savings Stamp was w?rth last January $4.12. Each stamp, because of the interest that la com pounded. costs one cent more each month, so that next January It will cost *4 24 and at the end of Ave years it will be worth )6. Thrift Stamps are of the denomi nation of 25 cents and are the means by which one may accumulate small ?avlngs until a sufficient amount Is saved to purchase a War Savings Stamp. They are invaluable for the thrifty saver who can lay aside only 4 small amount at a time. As poon as he accumulate sixteen Thrift Stampe he may exchange them for a War Savings Stamp by payini the few cents additional to make us the purchase price of a War Saving* Stamp for that month. Thus if the Thrift Stamp saver col lected his sixteen stamps in May, i( then cost him 16 cents additional t? convert them Into one War Saving* Stamp. In June it cost* 17 cents addl tlonal and so on, and then on January 1, 1924, less than five years after th? exchange, the War Savings Stamp will 1 be worth $5 and the government wiL' pay that amount for It. In the table below the second col umn shwfl that the person who in vests a little more than $100 a month for eight months of this year, wil' have paid In before January 1, 192Q $839. On January 1, 1924, this wil' have grown to $1,000. The othtr eol umns show what the purchaser wil be required to invest to have $56? $250. $100 or $50 by January 1, 1924.
