When we recall that but a few months ago our postal savings system was paying savers but two per cent, we can begin to appreciate the opportunity this Thrift and Savings Scheme presents. The thrift idea offers our young people, especially, a fine chance to start their finances right and at the same time do a patriotic thing.-—Argos Reflector.

It is pointed out by the Treasury Department that Thrift Stamps are not made redeemable in cash for the reason that these stamps are simply intended as a convenient method for the small savers to accumulate and purchase War-Savings Stamps, which bear interest and are redeems able in cash. In addition, to for redemption for these Thrift Stamps would involve, such an amount of detailed ■ accounting and labor and expense as to impair the practicability of their use. In fact, they would be more trouble and expense to the government possibly than they are worth. —Decatur Democrat.
