It provl^vs an opportunity for a discussion of the war. which Is the-chief
business in which this country is now engaged
It furnishes aa easy and convenient method of buying War' Savings
Stamps, and provides a medium through which the subject of thrift can be
kept before the people over a long period of time. It introduces the habit of Thelma Miley Mollie Wiliiamif
