FREE FROM TAX i U. S. War Savings Stamps Are Free From Federal, State Or Local Taxation--Pay Good Interest. One of the advantages of the war mavings stamps as an investment is that they are no.t 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, state or local. In this respect, they are entirely unique, being free when almost everything else of value is sub ject to impost. "As the amount that an individual may hold is limited to $1.000, this coft cession does not deal unjustly toward other security holders. It is simply an inducement to the small Investor to make an unusual effort in his own country's behalf by depositing as much of his surplus with the govern ment as possible. Those who buy these little bonds-and all should do 4 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 nomics is converted into Thrift Stamps and War Savings Certificates need not be recorded upon the assess or's blank. As the Interest and prin- 4 cipal are payable In 1923, neither is it 4 necessary to make mention of the in vestments in the return to the in. come tax collector. "They are, as stated, absolutely free and, as they also pay 4 per cent. com pound interest, are the best securities that one can buy in these troubled times. --- W. S. 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 rea sons enter the military or naval service of the country, or do other work that would help the government in prosecuting the war against the Huns, and yet. they want to help. There is a solution to this problem which troubles many earnest patriots. Those who invest 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. out the goods and ser vices that the money (an buy and use in properly supplying and eqitipping our army and navy.
