I On September 24. 1917. the secre- . tary qf the treasury was authorized iby act of congress to sell United States War Savings Certificates, series of 1918, the sum of such certificates outstanding not to exceed at any one time $2,000,000,000." What War Saving Stamps Are. They are stamps issued by the United States government to defray th'. 1 costs of the war. to induce saving. discourage waste, and inculcate habits of thrift throughout the country. The Two Denominations. There are two kinds of War Savings Stamps—the smaller, called Thrift Stamps, cost 25 cents each; the larger, called War Savings Stamps, have a maturity value of $5,00 each. x Two Kinds of Cards. There are also two kinds of cards —a Thrift Card containing spaces for sixteen Thrift Stamps; and a War Savings Certificate containing,spaces' for twenty War Savings Stamps. Thrift Stamps. It takes sixteen Thrist Stamps at a quarter each, or $4.00, to fill a Thrift Card. Such a card, plus a" few cents in cash (see paragraph folowing) is exchangeable for a $5.00 War Savings Stamp. War Savings Stamps. It takss twenty War Savings Stamps to fill a War Savings Certficate. A War Savings Stamp costs $l 12 during the month of January, 1918. and one cent additional each mouth thereafter, during 1918. On January 1. 1923. the United States will pay $5.00 for each such stamp affixed to a War Savings Certificate. Four Per Cent Interest, Compounded Quarterly, Should the twenty spaces be filled during January, 1918. the cost would |)e twenty times $4.12. or $82.40. In five years the certificate would be worth sloo—showing a net profit to , the holder of $17.60. The average issue price of War Savings Stamps during the year 1918 yields an interest rate of 4 per cent compounded quarterly. Regulations. The amount of War Savings Certificates sold to one person at. one time shall not exceed SIOO.OO ( maturity value), and no person may i bold War Savings Certificates to an 1

amount exceeding $1,000.00 (niatur i'lty value.)
